You can kinda get close in pure CSS with CSS media queries using the resolution query on dppx measurements; but that only allows you to be as granular as however many distinct "dots per CSS pixel" values you want to add media qu

It's tempting to look at it that way; but that's being over-reductive. UIs of today are not the UIs of 20 years ago. Users expect much more from today's UIs, and UI toolkits necessarily get more complex as a result in ord

Not as much of a lack of seriousness as excusing away hallucinations as not that big of a deal in what's supposed to be a researched, scholarly body of work written by humans.

It's not React. It's React Native. React Native and React are about as similar as JavaScript and Java. React Native is a way of orchestrating a UI comprised of native controls.

Hopping in here to suggest that instead of running a persistent whole-ass daemon, you could just configure a systemd service, set it up to trigger off a write to a fifo, and then use filesystem permissions to restrict access to who can writ

I mean it's a dog so you can't exactly ask them; but this was a dog that would bark at every other dog . If he wasn't barking at Hooch because Hooch was only showing up at 24 FPS, then I'm inclined to think he didn&#x2

The use cases for YAML that don't involve any sort of scripting vastly outnumber the use cases for YAML that involve embedding scripts into a document; so it's a little unfair and inaccurate to say that "in YAML it's k

The best solution for dealing with AI content slop flooding your eyeballs is to hang out in places small enough to be a community -- like a local area mesh network. AI slop thrives in anonymity. In a community that's developed its own

Depends what you're actually storing. There are plenty of cases where the timezone is not metadata; it defines how the datetime should be interpreted. For example: your local mom and pop corner store's daily opening and closi

It doesn't to me. It should be obvious that there are plenty of valid uses of dates and times which implicitly refer to either an exact instant in time, or the expression of a time in a certain reckoning. A birthday doesn't hav

That's absurd. The system should be able to update itself without fear that it's going to break anything. The user should not be expected to have to set aside time to babysit an update. Windows isn't perfect in this respect

I believe Shopify looked into using a JS engine in WASM for front end sandboxing but ended up using a wrapper around the Shadow Realms API instead.

The major Javascript engines already have the concept of a type system that applies at runtime. Their JITs will learn the 'shapes' of objects that commonly go through hot-path functions and will JIT against those with appropriate

There's not some conspiracy that's stopped it from happening. Nobody, anywhere, has ever said "DOM access from WASM isn't allowed ". It's not a matter of 'allow', it's a matter of capability.

I dunno, the grandparent comment gave credit for The Godfather to Scorsese so I ran with it.

That choice was made long before Scorsese made The Godfather; and so has virtually every other movie made over the past century. Real artists understand the limits of the medium they're working in and shape their creations to exist wit
