I remember when hand-drawn web design was highly trendy back in 2009-2013, and many of them would be featured on awwwards.com. They were beautiful.

I have no idea. All I can say is that the paper overwhelmingly uses the term "senolytic", which means to "kill off the senescent" (I'm assuming that it refers to senescent cells), as opposed to "senostatic&quot

Senescent cells themselves do not exist to prevent tumor growth. Cells becoming senescent is a mechanism that exists to prevent them from becoming a possible tumor, due to DNA damage. The problem with senescent cells is that accumulation of

Same, but I go a step beyond. Any tweet I see that I don't like (usually someone using a tone that gives me a terrible vibe from them), I block the author of the tweet. Now almost all tweets that I see have a positive vibe. Edit: I als

I could almost swear that you can even create a class-D amplifier with the ATTiny85, with a clock rate of ~15kHz. Obviously it's not going to be ideal for an audiophile, but the quality is not too shabby. A fun project for those curiou

I'm not sure if you are generally lamenting about people's sensitivities, or you are just dismissing jokes about firing as "not a big deal", and that "people should get over it". Let me repeat what the author o

Interesting to hear about "<" is not decidable on reals. I'm naive, and I'm curious to know where I can read more about that. Edit: OK, now I get it. Equality/inequality verification is undecidable for irrational

I don't know about in the US, but in Canada, I used to work at Forever 21—a California-based retail chain—and you are required to go through a pat-down right before you leave the store. You'd have to look for a manager, and ask th

Still not a valid reason for seizing an entire property, selling it, and pocketing the profit. At least threaten the guy with fines if he does not fix things up.

It can potentially break things. There are legacy code that assume that calling `readdir` will yield undefined, and will have just passed that result to a function, that alters its behaviour based on whether a parameter is undefined.

I might be wrong, but I think it has something to do with applications themselves explicitly looking for key combinations that involve the ctrl key. So no matter how much Pantheon (elementary OS' desktop environment) and elementary OS&

There is a well-understood math behind it. For blur, you can either do two things: - generate a matrix such that each element in the matrix is equal to 1 (e.g. averaging) - generate a matrix such that it represents the Gaussian distribution

I'm currently using a "TypeScript loader" for either Webpack or Browserify. If that seems too much, the other option is to output the compiled code as AMD modules [1]. But I have not tried it myself. Regardless, the option is

Thanks. I will definitely keep a close eye on your service. Here's hoping it comes soon to non-US bank accounts.

What countries do you have support for? I'm working for a Canadian fintech startup that would truly benefit from a service like yours.

And also, I might point out, from an earlier comment that I posted; the BPG decoder is merely a polyfill. If we rejected every feature that began as mere half-baked polyfills, we wouldn't have the web that we have today. Here's ju

Videos--more specifically mp4 videos-- can be embedded into web pages. They just don't autoplay on mobile browsers. Hence why there is a push for alternatives to Gif/APNG and mp4/webm. We want a video-like animation, that pl

Half the comments are pointing out that BPG is implemented in JavaScript. Like no shit? It's not natively supported in browsers, and OP makes a call for everyone to push browsers to natively support it. I mean like, geez, I want a prop

No, hence, Gif/APNG are good for lossless animations. But for sites like imgur that host animations, I would like it if their gifv format (pretty much mp4/webm) played immediately on my mobile, without it having to be a gif file.

> [APNG] should be a better alternative for GIF-like images (including transparency and low bit depth), and MP4 + H.265 should be the alternative for movie-like content. H.264/H.265 are good for both Gif-like and movie-like content.

Although, it does say it's open source at the bottom of the "technology" page [1], at the top of it, it boasts how it's using "proprietary satellite technology," and they don't seem to be very disappointed
