As the author of a content management system I made with the idea to democratize internet content creation, I've had a lot of the same thoughts that the author brings up here. I've always thought that even learning Markdown was a

Even worse than cancellation is when there's sloppy writing that is very obviously in place to push the series into another season while a bunch of plot threads go unresolved. It's like the corporate greed is being placed front an

I gave it an image of my crappy art and asked what steps I could take to make it look better. It gave me specific advice like varying the line widths and how to use this on specific parts of the character. It also pointed out that the shadi

I'm honestly surprised that VR hasn't been a bigger impact on board games. Besides the obvious fact that you can more easily get people together, software is great at handling the non-gameplay related "administration" th

I got the same "old, weird internet" vibe that you did. Back in the 90's there seemed to be more moonshot ideas like VRML and The Palace Chat - things that were maybe a little silly and geeky but at least pointed the way to s

I wonder how many great websites we lost with the death of Flash. Off the top of my head, I remember visiting the website for the movie Donnie Darko back when the film was originally released and being blown away at the strangeness and crea

Great timing! Just today I did a Google search in an attempt to figure out why my skin surrounding some recent scar tissue had a yellow discoloration. Didn't find my answer until the third page!

I saw The Hobbit in a theater playing at 60fps in 3D and several people in the theater laughed at points in the film that were not supposed to be funny just because how odd certain things looked. Although I personally enjoyed the unique pre

I feel like these points land harder when talking about animation rather than live action films. Consider that when Disney made Bambi 2 in the 2000s, they came to the realization that their animators did not have the skill required to anima

I've sometimes wondered why so many restaurants (even some chains) don't have any kind of online presence outside of a crappy HTML 'poster' that tells the world they exist. No delivery. No online orders. Seems like a mis

Reading this I'm reminded of knockoutjs, which the author of SolidJS cites as an influence. I remember at one point, years ago, trying to figure out why it was so much faster than AngularJS. Two things seemed to be going on: 1) It was

Agreed. Everyone, regardless of their political leanings, tends to be ignoring the elephant in the room: why is there such an insatiable demand in America for conspiracy theories and white supremacy? It would serve all of us better to look

Based on what I've heard from interviews from doctors and nurses, these people change their tune incredibly quickly once they have been diagnosed with Covid and start suffering from some of the more severe the symptoms of the disease.

A lot of it is simply narcissism. Many people who are deeply involved in conspiracy culture have professional, emotional, or social frustrations and are grasping for explanations about why they aren't getting the things that they want
