I always liked how Hearthstone (the digital card game) combines this style of interaction with traditional drag-and-drop. If you click and drag a card, you drop it by releasing the mouse button as you traditionally would. But if you click t

One way to keep something alive for a long time is to make many copies of it in different places. What if every time a website linked to something static (like an article, puzzle, or tutorial), it saved a local copy and made a link to that

I’d compare choosing Objective-C over Swift to choosing C over C++. Swift offers a higher level of abstraction, but Obj-C feels more lightweight.

This is my largest issue with Rust right now too. I’m happy to use it for personal projects on my own computer, but I don’t feel comfortable shipping a huge pile of code I don’t really understand onto someone else’s computer. I trust a se
