I _think_ it's better. For me, it's still a bit weird when you're scrolling past the first one, but I think you just need a hint or something that the region is scrollable (my confusion comes from the fact that there needs to

I have no idea if it's related, but on chrome on my phone most of the page was solid yellow. Took a while to realize I'm supposed to scroll and the things show up. I don't like this 'trend' of the things appearing w

The border radius thing is insane. Why does rounded corners mean correct?

Write one! Forths are so simple that you can write one in minutes if you understand it, and a bit more if you don't know anything about it. Having your own forth is both really gratifying, and gives you an opportunity to play around wi

From the FAQ: If a BookReader edition is available, you can read it instantly online by clicking the "Read in Browser" link. You're done! Borrowing books in other formats will require Adobe Digital Editions or ebook soft

I love the idea. I want this to be a common thing. I don't like the use of adobe here though. It's a closed platform. It's controlled by adobe. And unless you want to use a browser, you also need an adobe id. I get that publi

This one has pretty bad mobile UX. The horizontal padding is humongous.

Simple blogs should need nothing but HTML to look decent. Better browser defaults would go a _long_ way.

Ha. In some areas it's actually safer. Very good null safety and static typing are two obvious things. It also has memory leak and corruption detection in debug builds, and it's surprisingly accurate. For leak detection it's

These are issues for the operating system to care about, not every single application. With pledge and unveil (or similar), you can solve most of this once.

Not if the entire editor is untrusted. This is the job of the operating systems, and simple mechanisms like pledge and unveil can solve most of this.

Yes. Some people (myself included) enjoy "unsafe" languages like C. I'm not one of those people that argue that being careful is enough. For applications where security really matters, _please_ use something with a bit more v

For big pieces memory at least, a lot. I was talking to someone the other day about this, they said that in their kernel, switching to huge pages for mapping physical memory made the boot faster by a factor of 10000. I don't have the m

I agree. I like the idea of semantic HTML with close to no classes, but the standard is really failing here. I generally just use <em>, and very rarely <strong>.

I don't. I just compared my perception on how I and other people accelerate with the width of the road. Intuition tells me it's not dangerous (of course, assuming everyone is responsible). Now that I think about it, it depends on

If you come at a complete stop anyway, it's fine with me. Bikes can't accelerate all that quickly, so it ends up being pretty slow traffic.

Basically, before this you couldn't have generic types in traits, like this: trait X { type Y<Z>; } You couldn't express "a thing that contains another thing" in one of those type expressions b

Unfortunately not. Pledge is _awesome_, but it's a different thing. Pledge protects the system from buggy well-intentioned, cooperative software that could have bugs. What's needed is something that protects the system from ill-in
