    Yep. I was looking for a tiling/scrolling window manager for MacOS. Setting it up, learning the configs, reading github issues, learning the key bindings take time. Then I gave up …

    In video games or graphics, dithering can be an alternative to transparency. It's more performant too. I see this a lot in handheld consoles. As screen resolution and density incre…

    I think this was what Google Plus was going for. Instead of friend graphs (mutual) or follower graphs (directed edges), they had Circles. Circles sound a lot like group chats. I gu…

    Yep, there are a lot of layers and compositing operations (maybe more than necessary?). I suppose it could be simplified further.

    Learned about the heart today! Thank you! I wonder what other types of cells / tissues can be simulated by cellular automata?

    Yep, a lot of headline readers here. It's just a very advanced autocomplete, completely integrated into the internal codebase and IDE. You can read this on the research blog (maybe…

    Good guess! The initial intention was to use iframes. And so zero js needed. But iframes can't do * Deletion (e.g complete a todo list item) * Tail end append (e.g lazy loading inf…

    Yeah, querySelector(undefined) works Although location.hash defaults to the empty string '' when there is no hash, which gives a SyntaxError, so we still need the fallback selector…
