Fun fact, xlockmore and xscreenSaver updated to include the Matrix effect on April 22nd and 27th 1999, respectively. That was less than a month after the 1999 film's release, and several months before it was available on VHS or DVD. So

A lot of the sneering in these comments focuses on a strawman web developer, making bloated sites with looming frameworks that expect every browser to behave like Chrome and are too lazy to write native code for every platform under the sun

Is it a coincidence that the lyrics to Beck's song "E-Pro" are in E-Prime, except for the bridge?

If your metaballs are mostly the same size, the blurring step can happen ahead of time with a commutative convolution, stored in the texture. Then, rather than applying a threshold to the resulting pixel/voxel contribution, you can app

The Ambrosia game portfolio's biggest impact was just being so much more polished than Mac games typically were at the time. The publishing model, I suppose, afforded them the resources it required to make everything really pop. I reme

As an early Macintosh tool, ResEdit's UI was intuitive enough for non-programmers to pick it up and apply superficial changes to the images, sounds, UI layouts, strings and level save files of the Mac apps of their time. Nowadays I can

Imagine writing and directing a trans allegory in 1999— when the studio thinks a character portrayed as male in the real world and female in the Matrix is crossing the line— and then rapidly: • having your whole franchise met with critical

Seconded. I deeply resent the overall tone of this article, framing childbirth and family planning as if every couple kept a damn Excel spreadsheet and talked casually about "biological clocks". Economists! The author briefly poin

That is a fair question! The tech, as you put it, is definitely fundamentally there today. I think a big issue is indeed the missing GUI, and the sense of solidity it provided. Flash Pro likely empowered its users more than most people thin

Thank you! To be honest, the Spotify playlist was a kind of afterthought until recently. I spent part of this morning trying to embed a Spotify widget in the UI as a sort of stereo, but iframes don't easily resize their content the way

I completely disagree— reading this blog post, I come away with the sense that the author values genuine representation of who they are, and is frustrated with social networks' inadequacies in that regard. To their point, I doubt I&#x2
