    Narcism. I'm like the smartest guy in the world, and I can't believe how mediocre everyone else is.

    Only once for the containing canvas. A direct access to the canvas pixel data and webGL offscreen rendering is all you need. With a few hacks, we're already 90% there. I expect by …

    Forcing the DOM, JS and CSS was a mistake. The problem was that you couldn't have alternatives. wasm is going to disrupt front end by allowing you to have a strong typed language t…

    The topics are inherently dry and boring. Let's face it, we aren't spitting the atom or sending someone to the moon here.

    It's a shame, they used to be good. I really like the idea behind Assassin's Creed. And Sands of Time is a god tier A++ game.

    Speaking of Ubisoft, is it just me or do they repackage the same game with different skins over and over gain? I swear Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Ghost Recon and Watch Dogs are the…

    I'm not that attached to the Disney IP at all. I don't care about Pixar, Mickey Mouse, Starwars or Marvel. I'm very attached to video games, especially from the gamecube/ps2 to the…

    I am doing something similar. The problem is not just HTML/CSS it's also JS. You need a strongly typed language, and have a scripting language on top. What I'm doing now is a Rust …

    HTML and DOM is the current way that is forced on us. What if I had a better model? I can't implement it myself. The DOM was meant to describe documents, not interactive webpages. …
