I understand the core is the layout engine and a component library? Does the rendering somehow benefit from GPU? I recently had a good experience creating custom UI based on ebiten…

Some time ago I created a proof-of-concept reverse CAPTCHA[1] that actually presents a challenge that requires LLM assistance to solve, alongside with the instructions. You point y…

Sometimes I want to run a shell command but don't remember the exact syntax. There are apps that aim to resolve that, as well as AI integrations into shells (like iTerm). I thought…

I like meditative puzzle games like Minesweeper, and decided to make my interpretation of that game, but with a spherical board where each board tile is determined by a Voronoi alg…

One may still write C code as they did 40 years ago, but they still use the power of numerous libraries, better compilers, Git, IDEs with syntax highlighting and so on. The only tr…

It makes me sad to read posts like this. If it is a necessary step for you on the journey from denial to acceptance to embracing the new state of the world, then sure, take your ti…

Everything that is touching hardware, for example. Bluetooth stack, HDMI, you name it. Everything W3C does. Go is evolving through specs first. Probably every other programming lan…

If I had a spec for something non-trivial, I probably would ask AI to create a test suite first. Or port tests from an existing system since each test is typically orders of magnit…

On iPhone, tapping an NFC tag with a URL opens a popup that allows you to navigate to that URL with a single click. If this URL is supported by an installed app, this app will hand…

Yeah, I'm an every-day-user of enterprise Duo app. It is as good as a third-party app can be (on iOS specifically), yet you have to do extra steps as compared to Touch ID alone: fo…

This is a very interesting concept. I'm pretty sensitive to UX issues, and I'm yet to see nicely implemented and secure auth flows. All non-OS-native 2FA solutions (Google Auth, Du…

Thanks for sharing. This proposal makes every bit of sense, IMO. I wish selection sharing could also be a part of some cross-browser standard so that people wouldn't have to instal…

I know that the best available option in today's world is to make a screenshot of a selection to point to a specific point on a page, but heck, this seems to be an extreme waste of…

Spent quite some time looking for a JavaScript library that would allow me to select a part of a web page and send a link to that selection to someone else. I know there are script…
