I was wondering how SIGGRAPH's "sexiness" paper criterion played out with all consequences, but never really sat down and looked into it, being satisfied with all the highlights and cool results. Rejecting "systems paper

I feel the same, but at the same time, it's a similar process as with adblockers; it's an arms race of obfuscation. If you can view a video in your browser, then it principally follows that you can save it to your hard drive. (Sim

Well, this looks great, but I'm not about to start digesting the self-admitted 600-page tome just to see if it's worth learning for the tasks I encounter - surely there's a "tutorial" somewhere?

Great article! I really like that it's aware of its own limitations, or rather that it knows it's trying to explain something largely obvious. As with everything, the hardest step is the first one, then each successive one gets ea

Nice! This honestly sounds really great; coincidentally as a Czech person, the multiple plural forms have sort of been a bane of i18n for me, a surprising amount of solutions don't even take this into account at all (?!) or require dum
