To be more explicit, it is insane that we find it acceptable for text to reflow/ break over lines at different points once the web font is loaded. There is something that bugs me -…

I wish that system fonts could be told the size of the characters of a web font upfront, before the web font was loaded. The system font's glyphs should smoothly fade/morph into th…

The author makes some interesting comments, view the page source.

I wish yCombinator or equivalent would fund a company or organization that is dedicated to making a complete end-to-end opensource fpga ecosystem. The proprietary tools are crap.

I would be interested in comparing the performance of Uber's first pass "city-fencing" vs a pre-computed 1D array. EG: Subdivide a flat projection of earth into n^2 squares. Create…

Can you measure the blur that I see when I do not wear glasses, and apply the inverse function to an image, like my computer monitor, so that I can see clearly without glasses? Wha…

Can the progressive data obscure previous portions of the image? If so, it can also be a hacky video format. EG: A flif would specify how many megabytes it used per second. There w…

Does Minuum use the Y position of taps as well as the X? If not, it is throwing a predictor away.

Bad algorithms are bad and misused feedback is misused and competent advisers are competent.

I collect contact info from individuals who want a wake up call at the same time and pair them by geographic region so they can phone each other. This service not automated, compli…

I would like feedback on this draft I wrote. It suggests that every positive integer can be mapped to a unique tree, and every tree can be mapped to a unique integer. Thank you.

Great this looks fun. Two issues: Control icons (arrows, fingers, etc.) look indistinct. They could made larger to take up more of the icon space, or outlined, or colored. Can you …

1. Why the popup window? 2. Are developers permitted to strip the Persona branding - to make the login process seem to flow with the current website - not a bolt on? 3. Would you c…
