MSDF seems like a great choice, depending on your use-case. Given that we don't need to draw text at multiple scales, it doesn't seem to provide much benefit for us over caching rasterized glyphs provided by Core Text. (Copying a

1. I guess the answer is that it is both global and local? An application window draws its contents to a buffer (basically, an RGBA image), which the operating system can copy to the buffer that represents the full contents of the screen. T

From my research, it seems like SDF is a best suited for game engines to use for text, especially non-UI text (that may appear at arbitrary sizes), as it is a fast, space-efficient, and easily scalable approximation. Unfortunately, SDF tend

Good call-out - definitely a bit of a simplification there. We account for this in our terminal grid by allocating an empty cell following any double-width glyphs (e.g.: emoji and wide chars, as you mentioned). Tried out your example in Wa

This is the fault of your implementation, not the pattern. Event types (names) should be enums, not arbitrary strings. This makes it very easy to change the way the code reads if the meaning of the event slightly changes, and equally easy

The primary issue is that the design is very obviously driven by the goal of monetization. On my laptop, the top half of the page is dominated by the navigation bar at the top (starting with "Premium Membership") and the "Le

Social and Promotions should basically just contain the "unimportant crap". If something is mis-categorized, you can drag it to the correct section and Gmail should learn from its mistake. Also, as mentioned below, you can revert

I think it's more of "The information you requested, were it to exist, would be highly classified (due to its type), and therefore we can neither confirm nor deny its existence."

Drawings are the heart and soul of civilization. For one, they originated ~37 thousand years before the first written language. Second, understanding text requires knowing how the information it contains is encoded (what language it is
