It’s very surprising, the instructions disappear and there’s no obvious way to get them back. Undo doesn’t work, for example. Maybe consider selecting all the text on the first click/focus in the textarea. That way it’s still there bu

Performance is part of design in software, much like how button feel is part of industrial design, or fabric qualities are part of fashion design. But I also see what you mean, you were talking about visual design.

Whoa now, remember we’re not just talking a mountain of examples, but “ literal ” mountains of sociological studies. You should try asking for longitude, latitude and elevation!

Getting shadows right is incredibly complicated. You need to figure out the silhouette of the object from the perspective of the light source, then project that silhouette over the geometry the shadow falls on, then draw the perspective of

Agree completely. This would have been interesting if they had tried to capture the look and feel of the original but still made it look contemporary. That could have worked perfectly with nostalgia and the recent popularity of vaporwave. I

But are you against constrained templating DSLs on principle, or just the specifics of how Svelte does it? I think the reason bad ideas take hold is because people are looking for guidance; constraints, if you will. In React that is offered

Simple and fun game. I just wish the score was more forgiving the older the photo was. It’s a lot harder to tell 1905 and 1910 apart than 2015 and 2020, from the perspective of 2023.

How can it possibly matter that the “user base is assessed to be almost certainly criminal”? Like, if you criminalize using such a device, I suppose the whole user base is now criminal. But if they already were and you can prove it, why do

But it’s not the right solution. For example, the first word has the wrong number of letters, the first, second and third word are supposed to end with the same letter, and so on…
