    Thanks, no idea how my Chrome copied the wrong URL. Something weird with Medium. Hopefully a mod can correct the URL

    Ten years ago, I did some experiments building an "input lag measurement device" for touch screen devices with an Arduino. https://github.com/graup/feedback-delay-measurement The r…

    Last time I checked (a few years ago), it was cheaper to send letters and small packages from South Korea to Germany than from Germany to Germany. The delay was also not that big (…

    Was hoping this was about WebAssembly/WASM. You used to be able to import rust directly into your JS with Parcel, but sadly that feature was dropped in Parcel 2. Is there a simple …

    Blurry for me too, Chrome on Mac OS on a non-retina external display.

    {'name__contains':"k", "age__lt":20} Kind of tangential to this package, but I've always loved this filter query syntax. Does it have a name? I first encountered it in Django ORM, …

    I also think about this regularly. I'm with the author regarding the metrics (time efficient, healthy, skill component). But still, I find strength training extremely boring and go…

    Pretty neat! I appreciate the time that went into making the graph render nicely. I was recently having fun with Reactflow myself. It took a bit of time to figure out custom nodes …

    I really like Go channels, and I was looking for something like this in JS. One of the earlier implementations is this one, albeit not maintained anymore: https://github.com/NodeGu…

    This is cool! Note that this problem is fairly specific to Berlin (and probably some other places in Germany). I just moved to Heidelberg, and this city offers registration appoint…

    TIL. This actually solves my main need for custom scrollbars. Now the only remaining use case is when designers don't design components around default scrollbars. Sometimes the def…

    Hard to see a real-world use for this but reading the code and docs is pretty interesting. The code taught me some cool tricks. Good job! Some of the binding API is a bit weird, li…

    Also, for users that have any of the CJK languages as their default browser language, Chrome enforces a minimum font size of 10 (or 12?) pixel, so anything smaller should be avoide…

    I think randomized queues are pretty fair. You give everyone who arrives within a certain time the same chance. This wouldn't be too hard to implement as a system either. Say ticke…

    > chore. noun. a routine task, especially a household one. What's emotionally charged about this? It seems neutral to me.

    If anyone needs a typed JS version of Python's range, I prepared this code to be a 1:1 match with the Python API. It also uses generators: https://github.com/graup/pythonic-ts/blob…

    The general ideas are fine, but the examples are pretty outdated. For modern SPA, CSS naming has become largely obsolete. A lot of the JS code shows the principles it is supposed t…

    Sometimes I wish these articles would include "in the US" in the title. "Is College in the US Worth It? A Return on Investment Analysis"
