Odd, I wonder if it has to do with modern macOS resolution scaling (how there basically is no "native physical resolution" setting anymore). i.e. maybe up to a certain point it's a…

Not sure if this is the exact same one, but here's one thread I found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6026454?answerId=327318... The cursor size adjustment is mentioned furth…

Before reading the background info, I was going to recommend a much simpler fix, but they actually already mention it in there: "Also the mouse cursor size can be changed." This wa…

I am sorry that you are bad at analogies.

Because that third-party code adds its own HTML tags. Because that third-party code adds its own CSS. Because my HTML and the third-party HTML live in the same document. Thus, my C…

Exactly. The problem is the platform has not kept up with the way it's used in practice. Features are added with strange priorities, and obvious blind spots ignored, leading to it …

> A selector is not not a variable or a function. CSS has functions (e.g translate) and it has variables, which are both distinct concepts in the language from selectors. That miss…

Because many web sites and apps aren't as simple as "my first homepage" and don't only consist of first-party code. Think component libraries. Reusable code. Content management sys…

Been writing CSS since 1997. Your mistake is thinking that the authors of these frameworks (or their target audience) just don't know how to use CSS correctly. But it's far more li…

Somewhat familiar with them, but can't say I've ever built anything with them. I'm curious though: are you aware that people already consider React and its cousins to be immediate …

> It is still a string, even if a template string or whatever it is called, no? No. > That still leaves the door open for XSS. The door for that in React is called `dangerouslySetI…

I'd give people the benefit of the doubt. Personally, having built UI with Win32, WinForms, VisualBasic, Cocoa/Interface Builder, Qt, Tcl/Tk, XSLT, vanilla HTML/JS, jQuery, Backbon…

It would be possible to have it decode the .dts and .dif formats on demand - that was my original plan - just much less efficient for users, as the .glb files are about 1/5 of the …

I've been thinking about this topic and am glad to see it come up: AI is going to be a huge boon for digital preservation & restoration projects like this. I realized this while bu…

This could also be applied to record linkage. With search, there will usually be multiple results, and there's always a "top" match even if its confidence/score is quite low. In re…

I agree, in practice I see this occasionally on gigantic GitHub pull requests with 1000+ files, or very clunky Atlassian/Confluence pages. I'd say both sides need to work on their …

No doubt the browsers are constantly leapfrogging each other, so this isn't always the case. But, anecdotally: switching from Chrome to Safari actually felt like I got a new comput…

A few years ago, I made a model skinner for Tribes 2, a ~25 year old game that still has a loyal following: https://exogen.github.io/t2-model-skinner/ (if you check out the Gallery…

In today's world, yes. But as with a LOT of complaints about "web developers!!!!" the answer is usually "because of the way the web WAS." Before IE became Edge (and maybe even in t…

A stupid little project to pass the time between jobs.

This is also how I build most of my static sites, usually deployed to GitHub Pages. For example, here’s the demo page for a library I recently developed: https://exogen.github.io/t…

`JSON.parse` actually does give you that option via the `reviver` parameter, which gives you access to the original string of digits (to pass to `BigInt` or the number type of your…
