I like the idea, but is there really no way to mute the audio? Sadly I did not finish the article because of that.

#22My Dad always tells me he flat out does not understand what I do. He respects it, knows it's challenging and fun, but just doesn't get it. I've sent this to him -- he's about 1/4 of the way through and thoroughly enjoying it. This is a very fun read that's worth leafing through
My father sent a small comment chain to me as well on a topic like this on one of his blog posts.
June 3, 2015 at 10:12 am I think software developers like to impress people with how many lines of code they can write.
June 3, 2015 at 3:31 pm That is not true. A good day is when you leave the office with more powerful software, but fewer lines of code.
June 4, 2015 at 4:31 am So why is software always getting bigger ? Is it because the marketing people want to add new features all the time ? Does this even apply to free software like browsers and email clients ?

Personally, I like writing less code, or reducing code to less code. Less to think about.

#23The scroll performance was bothering me so much i had to add transform: translateZ(0); to the #background-canvas element of the page to stop the screen painting on every fking scroll; to continue to read in peace without my eyes bleeding. Great article though :)

What audio? There shouldn't be any sound unless you activate the konami code easter egg.

#25Holy CPU time! That site consumes 100% of my CPU (presumably 100% of one core) whenever it is in the front tab (Firefox/OS X).
Anyone else experiencing that or is it just my laptop running wild?

Same here on my 2015 MBPr.

#27I had no idea they made an hour long educational video on windows 95 with the cast of Friends! That is awesomely 90's. This is a really cool write up, clearly a lot of work went into it

Interesting, I was able to read the article just fine on my 2011 Kobo touch. 800 MHz ARM Cortex A8 and whatever Webkit was around in early 2011. The border animations are off but all the text and plain images work.
Whatever effects they're running, they did an impressive job with graceful degradation.

#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
Very funny... I currently have other audio playing on my computer that I don't want to stop.
If you are on windows you can right click on the tray icon and for the volume and open the volume mixer where you can lower the volume for specific applications, such as your browser.
But you can only change the volume of the entire browser, not specific tabs. If you're playing music in another tab, you can't just turn down one tab.

#30I've always wanted to attempt this piece: to take all the many layers of abstraction that we deal with, parse them, convert them, and render them through my formidable linguistic talents into one elegant, beautifully constructed piece of prose that magically makes it all comprehensible to lay readers. I haven't yet attempted it, but I give props to Mr. Ford for trying. I'm not surprised he ended up with a novella.
Oh, and why does bloomberg.com want to use my web cam?
