It might be worth mentioning that Khan Academy's main CS course has been based on an in-browser Processing.js environment, since even before P5 existed.

What gives you the impression this would be costly? It should fit easily in a FaunaDB free plan, with Netlify or Vercel (also free) for serverless functions if you need logic.

When you're doing cross-platform development like this for the web, you're going to have a "least common denominator" that you have to design for. Safari is that least common denominator right now only because Microsoft

Sorry, I went to make a search without the extension installed (because I did try) and I got hit with a full screen error message saying I needed to install the extension. My mistake was obviously typing in the search bar at the top of the

In my opinion, the fact that all your extension does is change the setting is worse, not better. It's purely a user-hostile choice.

From the article: > That’s extremely similar to the MacBook Pro and Monterey issues I’ve read this week—except I’m still running Big Sur.

Is there a source for Jekyll being no longer maintained? Jekyll might not be in active development anymore, but I’d rather use something that’s finished than something like VitePress that has “WIP” in its title.

Are you affiliated with rsync.net, competing with BackBlaze? Is the major difference with rsync.net that they charge per GB?

Is it possible to do anything? A bit of a rough on boarding experience if I can’t see anything and can’t move or touch anything.

Yeah. As I understand it, since all Apple mobile browsers use the WebKit engine, there’s nothing this demo can use to separate them. This demo doesn’t mention cookies. screen size, cache, etc, which could be used to further differentiate. T

I'm not against "copying" code. I just looked up "python build url query" The first link describes the `urllib.parse. urlencode` function which takes a dict. So I would build the query like so: from urllib.par

If I’m reading your table correctly, you say Linode’s VPS plans start at $10/mo, but they’re actually $5/mo. Is this meta-data, the stuff outside the rankings, hand-entered?

I'd argue the example given in the article is bad not because it doesn't repeat itself, but because it only concats strings. Using more advanced language features, or perhaps a ORM, I think you could easily come up with a solution

People are being cautious, that's all. It's easier to brute-force a password with a hash and a salt than it is to do without them. People were saying "reset your password" as soon as they saw they saw the headline "

I don’t agree with a lot of this article. I think the font looks excellent, I appreciate coherencies across a brand’s design, and most of all, I think the purpose of a score indicator over a football game is to tell you the score, and get o

I had one for a couple weeks right about a year ago. I was very impressed by its ability to mimic paper. Unfortunately, it didn't do much more than mimic paper, so I sold it and bought some nice notebooks. However, I think that was bef

This seems to just be a fork of Lite[0] that supports better text rendering. Lightweight GUI text editors are shocking hard to find. The primary reason I am not using Lite is the issues with Mac. So I’m definitely going to try using this. [

This is a good point. "Repairability" is a lot less important to me than lifetime. Right now, I have a MacBook with AppleCare. The author's criticism with AppleCare is that it can take a week for Apple to repair the computer.

I know Gemini has encouraged me to start a blog. Of course it’s possible to blog over HTTP. (I mirror my gemlog to my website.) But it’s so much more enjoyable to write and browse in an ecosystem that’s designed for it.

Interesting parallel here to the floppy disk icon being used for "save". It's quite possible that icon is ubiquitous enough that, without a push to change it, it sticks around for 100 years as well.
