First, give this a read: http://practicaltypography.com/ I like your design. I just have a few nitpicks... * Only center titles; don't center body text! * Your body text should be 90 characters wide, max. The paragraph

The new WKWebView seems to solve this problem. It's bundled with the WebKit project, not iOS or OS X.

It's not a hard problem; you just need a little JavaScript to update your canvas's width/height attributes when the size of the DOM element changes. Then you can just use CSS to fill the window with your canvas, and use the f

A lot of people in this thread have misconceptions about what AppleScript is and what it means for JavaScript to be an alternative. I recommend watching the WWDC session [1] if you can, and skip to 16 minutes in (through minute 20) for a qu

(Downvoters of parent, please stop, it's a perfectly reasonable comment.) While you're correct that JS can now be used to write Mac applications without an Obj-C wrapper, that's not really the point of this. Anyway, you can a

Genuine answer here. There's no need to apologize for not constantly immersing yourself in the workings of Apple platforms. :-) JavaScript is just another interface to Apple's "Open Scripting Architecture (OSA)." Previou

As much as I enjoy reading Terry's posts, I think he's better left an open secret. He's like a Hacker News Easter egg. Besides, if he is unbanned, I'm afraid every thread he posts in will have a junk subthread with poste

Or the poster is female. People seem to forget that women's bottoms tend to have really tiny pockets (at least in the USA).

Pedantic corrections to follow (but useful ones, I hope). There is one substantive gameplay difference between Threes and ArbitraryPowerOfTwo. In Threes, a swipe moves the game board one square. In ArbitraryPowerOfTwo, a swipe applies gravi

I paired Playfair with Lato for my personal site. I'm happy with the results, particularly given that my web site is pretty much just unadorned text. http://steveasleep.com/

To the snarky replies in this comment subtree: that passage read as if it was referring to some other piece or statement by Romero, which I'd be interested in reading further if it existed. The comparison is apt. Intuitively, this does

Does anyone have the source for the Romero quote on the third page? John Romero, co-creator of the game Doom, says Flappy Bird is "a reaction against prevailing design the way grunge was a reaction to metal."

This video helped me understand the actual issues around digital audio encoding. It's nice to use brain space for facts instead of woo. If you're convinced that digital anything is inherently inferior to analog, it should clear so

This headline is very editorialized. Submitter should write a short blog post and submit that.

Your post content keeps moving up and down when the ticker changes size. Makes the post unreadable.

I switched back to Firefox for web browsing a few months ago. I had started using Chrome because Firefox used to have horrible random UI freezes on OS X which seem to be fixed now. They're both fine in usability, but I'd rather be

I believe that the surprise would come from it not meaning "get the f* out." Which makes perfect sense to me - GTFO has a meaning, and re-backronyming it can only harm understanding of the standard. Also consider non-native Engl

You're misrepresenting his position pretty badly. XMLHttpRequest is a comprehensible name. "MysqlndUhConnection" much less so. Not being very familiar with PHP, I don't have any pet examples of inconsistent names to offe

This is excellent. We'll probably implement quite a few of these as Literally Canvas[1] brushes. [1] http://literallycanvas.com/

Does anyone have benchmarks about JIT vs non-JIT Javascript on iOS 7? I'm interested, but haven't been able to locate any.

That's my interpretation of the comment, and real-world experience. I've written two admin sites with Bootstrap because it has all the widgets and plugins I might need on short notice.

PIL has never worked with pip, but you can still install it using the instructions on their web site. pillow works fine with pip.

Here's the documentation for pillow. There are quite a few new features and supported formats. http://pillow.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ It's amusing to me that he ignores pillow for the whole piece and t

Hi, I wrote half of Literally Canvas. It looks like we have a lot of overlap, but nice job on the fill and save features. We never got to those. It also looks like you're smoothing your lines, also very good. I feel like we got "s
