Re:As a Windows user, it's a surreal way to install a program on Saturday August 08, 2026 @01:46AM (#49219181)
Counterpoint: you reinstall something later and all your setting and preferences are still there.

It’s a classic cloud vs disk debate about where and who should persist and own the data. Lately I think it’s kinda refreshing that it’s entirely on your disk and up to you.

This is great for some use cases, but in situations like a very large list mentioned in the article it’s likely that a real world app would be virtualizing the nodes.. which would make an id a more stable key than a dom node.
I would love something like this for Spotify/Youtube Music/Apple Music
This was my first thought after looking at the project. Just finished the book.. wild!
I’ve been trying to find some guidance too, specifically for authentication with B2B and how to be adaptable to work with different IAM/SSO platforms

What sort of export does the tool have? Would be great if this exported to a json file Lottie could use, or something that could be converted into a GSAP timeline easily
Been following this project on Twitter for a while through the creators (Dave DeSandro). Looks great.. Used to use masonry all the time in projects, glad to see he is still creating cool shit.

Yup, and most items on their site of no focus state, which is bad for accessibility.

Keep in mind that the transition wont be from black to white or visa versa.. We're talking about a gradual change over a decade and a half a least. In the meantime there will be an uptake in jobs that support this type of automation.. physically building the thing, building the digital experience(Design, UX, Backend architecture, process, branding) as well as ancillary jobs like IT support, installation, IT, legal, union, whatever.

It will be less drastic than people anticipate, as always with automation/ai. Different jobs will become more available and (hopefully) the value of those jobs will increase. Manual/tedious jobs that used to be considered low-brow will hopefully become "artisanal" or appreciated, and fill the gap.

A butcher used to be a respectable profession that would earn an honest days living. Maybe now, instead of a butcher working for his employer (with a cashier, accountant, manager, sales person), they will operate as their own employer. Other micro-focused based companies will handle the other needs for a fraction of the cost.

In the end, efficiency prevails with capitalism and tech in general.. Having a population with a low work force seems both inefficient and impractical. Life will find a way...

Re:Cat-proofing a cat feeding machine on Thursday December 22, 2016 @01:51AM (#13235410)
After reading, I can't help but think that the problem is that the cat knows there is food inside.. is there a leak where the scent gets out?

I would try sealant around all the seams And revert back to so lesser security measures to test it.

I thought the last episode was great, although maybe slightly long. It was a good example of how a seemingly good piece of technology can be disastrous if a back door is put into it. Also it was a decent nod to Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"

Re:Google recommends inlining small CSS on Tuesday January 12, 2016 @12:47PM (#10888929)
I'd also like to throw this into the conversation:

Inline styles also prevent the user from overriding styles with a custom style sheet (think color blind people). This isn't necessarily against ADA/508 compliance, but it should be taken into consideration.

Seems similar to Pixi js. I like that Pixi uses WebGL though, with a canvas fallback. It also uses a Flash-esque API
