> The obvious fix is to stop animating when the step gets below some threshold, but that's inelegant. Why? It's simple, easy to implement and validate, and provides the desired visual impact. Seems perfectly elegant to me.

Given that the canopy itself modulates the moisture in the air, this explanation seems to provide a bound on the outlier of height relative to other trees more so than an absolute barrier.

The thousand character classic was also used to teach the reading of chinese characters in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, though perhaps to a lesser extent than the three character classic. I have no idea to what extent this is true toda

Musk has lost a massive amount of credibility because of failing to deliver on most of the self-proclaimed potential of his businesses—basically, all of them outside of the potential of SpaceX, and even there he should be grateful the perce

Sure, but they can also easily ask anyone. I don't know why it makes sense to shrug off that responsibility onto some nationalist bullshit.

Cats are unable or unwilling to tackle larger rats, including the ones outside my apartment. They're much better mousers than ratters.

I've found you can also just disable javascript, paste, and reenable javascript again.

Sometimes it seems like violence is the only solution modern american politicians can conceive of, even if it's an insane waste of both money and human effort and doesn't work. How can this do anything but embarrass the city?

Well if you're asking for a product recommendation you're literally asking to be advertised to, so.... I guess you get what you want?

Wouldn't mentioning products at all be a dead giveaway?

I don't see how that would affect a screenshot—the difference is clearly visible in screenshots. Furthermore the differences between Mac, Linux, and Window font rendering are widely discussed on the internet. I think I just prefer the

This is often cited as a reason why Amazon is such a hostile work environment, for instance. It's not clear if this actually produces the desired results, though.

Well whatever it does, I actually prefer it to hinting and always have. Whatever happens on linux makes the fonts look too thin for my personal taste. Regardless, I hope everyone agrees that hi dpi + no hinting (or smearing) looks the best.

> Attach a MacMini to a non-HiDPI display and you could recognize that the font rendering is awkward. Ironically for "always expose relevant options through system settings" Apple, you can still access font smoothing via comman

There seems to be a conflation in two subtly different types of debugging here—one is simply regurgitating state while tracking down a specific bug on a local machine and should not be committed and the other is intended to be checked int

Even checking the class of a given object feels quite flimsy to me, although this perhaps isn't a huge problem in a coherent codebase. This isn't meant to be an attack on javascript as a worthwhile tool to learn, by the way, just

I think that "strong belief grounded in degrees of trust" is a much more powerful concept than "fact" in practice, not to mention one that's much more difficult to attack from a theory of knowledge perspective espec

We actually do have material evidence connecting pre-age of discovery Siberia with Alaska via Aleutian trade and shared genetics, though, and the strength of the product of evidence is always stronger than a single hypothesis of connectio

There's essentially no chance of that—any linguistic connection would have happened in the last 2,000 years or so. Spoken language sans written record changes much too fast to preserve such semantics—and, to be clear, I don't thin
