    I think the author is discounting their own design sense which is necessary to come up with the ideas! (Or even to take inspiration from other sites.) Side note, better not animate…

    Big fan of Payload, which I used (1.x) when I updated my personal website/blog (in my profile) at the start of the year. It was super easy to implement comments with replies and op…

    Are we talking about the same thing? I mean the Mongolian throat signing in that YouTube link, which has crazy low fundamentals (I have a deep bass voice and it's much lower than I…

    I don't know about wine, but those violinists were asked which instrument they preferred, not which was a Strad. I don't see how that or a blind test is relevant to what I wrote an…

    I'm a professional musician but not on piano, and even I can tell the difference. While it may be true that velocity is the only variable, it's not a physics problem. As a player y…

    This is such an HN comment ;) Sibling comments are correct that weighted keys, graded hammer action, etc are all much better than a plastic level but still don't have a proper sens…

    One great masking effect that doesn't use masking which I love: If you have a tall-ish avatar with a transparent background, overlay it on a coloured circular div (border-radius: 9…
