Pretty. But do there exist web browsers that display these scroll-to-animate sites correctly? Using either mousewheel or dragging the scrollbar (or worse still, dragging on an iPad), it's never anything but choppy choppiness and I miss important bits of text as they scroll past entirely between the little click stops on my mouse wheel.

Surely it must be possible to actually view these sites, as evidenced by the fact that people keep building them. Is there some web-designer-and-executive-approver-specific build of Chrome that's built specifically for this effect?
Especially when the person making both of them is the same. :)
Speaking as a former history major, thanks! :-) Code like that is written by people who don't really understand how their code works and there are plenty of CS majors in that category. With any luck, they are swiftly promoted to management where they can do less harm.
I wish I could upvote this a thousand times. It's great documentation, about documentation.

I wonder if it would be worth encouraging people to put their names on official documentation that they write. They'll take some pride in it, and get some benefit in that they're recognized as an expert, and everyone else gets a whole bunch more well written documentation (hopefully)

You have a poor understanding of natural selection. All you have to do is select for survival those that are apt at looking at and manipulating things on screens, and kill everyone else so they can't reproduce. In a few thousands years, we would be evolved for it.

Also, working hard in the fields is also bad for our health, hence our life expectancies used to be a bit lower; looking and manipulating things would be an improvement from that...we can always hit the gym after our 4 hour workday touching things.

As a species, we really just want to create what will effectively replace us. Given a few more (i.e. 20-40) years of deep learning technology development, we won't even have to look and manipulate anymore. By that time, we hit singularity and hopefully we aren't being exterminated by skynet drones.

This essay is what leads me to think about the possibilities of user interfaces that are comprised of real world objects which become "smart" via the projection of augmented reality. For example, your average tennis ball could become a slider, a knob, or even a virtual storage container with a heads up display like that produced by meta.

I wonder if the future of user interfaces are simple but universal real world controls (similar to a meatspace UI toolkit) combined with AR. With AR any surface is a display, and when you consider the fact that the contemporary "pictures under glass" model of UI fundamentally falls out of the limitations of current day display technology (namely, displays are a type of surface, but not all surfaces are displays) then it kind of seems logical that if most flat surfaces become displays (virtual or otherwise) then the space of ideas around user interfaces loses a large coupling and fundamentally new things should be possible.

I wonder if anyone has ever done a statistical analysis of a large project to see when changes that generated bugs were actually performed. I've long suspected that when you see particularly silly bugs committed by people who really do know better there is usually some explanation that can often be that they are tired/stressed/distracted.

[NB I know myself that I can do particularly silly things when tired so I will sometimes let myself spend a long time investigating a problem but I won't fix it until the next day.]

I had always presumed this was where NFC would gain adoption within $BrandName.

One could easily and non-invasively (preserving packaging) check authenticity against $BrandName's website. It would cost less than printing UUIDs outside the packaging and maybe make a dent in knock-offs by both increasing cost of reproduction and fear of being 'shamed' by others being able to validate your items in-person. It would also allow Marketing folks to provide backstorys on their products and a way to directly interface with people realizing their goods are fake...

Nestle is a truly horrible company[1], this hook-up has really re-enforced the notion in my eyes that Google is now just another big multi-national corp in the same vein as the rest.

Throwaway here,

Once I dropped acid and smoked weed simultaneously, which created an uber intense trip. I used my smartphone, and the UI controls seemed to manifest as physical buttons. I imagined that when I felt a 2d button, it popped out of the phone and felt like a real button. That extra feedback completely changed my user experience. There was no more 'looking under glass'. I can objectively say that physical feedback really enhances the touchscreen experience.

I haven't tried any of their other products, but the iMX6 has a very large detailed technical manual (publicly available, not under NDA) and their Linux kernel trees are updated in public via git (presumably not everything is public but it's a lot more transparent than the occasional tarball source drop approach), plus they have people involved in yocto development. Better than many/most of the ARM SoC manufacturers.

The only undocumented/secret squirrel business AFAIK is the Vivante GPU. And that's universal across ARM Soc GPUs, sadly.
I think the only device that's worked well with them is a Macbook with the smooth scrolling on the trackpad.

I'm tired of reading that this or that language/framework is "easy-to-understand" and "fun" to use. That's a subjective statement and mostly not true. Writing code is a means to an end, you want the output of a program not a bunch of lines, so I don't see how it could be fun (which is repeated over and over again in the official documentation and various slides and talks). And the concept of easy-to-understand is determined by the level of experience of an individual plus a whole lot of factors that are beyond us, not least of which is the sheer brain power.
NSA Prefers Hacking Routers and Switches
I'm not sure I know what you mean by an externality being "covered" by property rights. An externality arises when the social cost or benefit is different from the private cost of an action. I assume you are talking about having the actor internalize the costs of the externality by expanding the scope of his property rights. However, I think the parent post was just referring to a result of the Coase theorem. Namely that, no matter the initial allocation of property rights, externalities can be traded away, as long as there are no transaction costs. In practice, negotiating away externalities is questionable for other reasons too, like contract credibility. E.g, if I were to pay someone in front of me on a plane not to recline their seat, they might just pocket the cash and recline anyway.
Checking against the two viable email endings and handling bounces should they occur is reasonable. It wouldn't give the immediate user feedback though in case of spelling error etc.

I'm on a six month old maxed out Thinkpad W520. I don't think they have much in the way of newer hardware than that, so I suspect it's more likely that there's a "smooth scrolling" setting somewhere that one could presumably turn on to see this effect.

Somebody else mentioned that it's on by default on Macs, thus confirming my theory about the "web-designer-only" build of Chrome (the same one that renders those extra blurry fonts that designers like to use on their blogs correctly).

Don't judge them too harshly. I am currently developing web app with offline capabilities. FT which provide the scaffolding code recommend using the cache manifest only for the absolutely minimum requirements (jquery + 10 lines of html) and use local storage for all the rest.

Would it be that hard? I would think of:

- snoop the instructions being read.

- continuously compute a CRC from those bytes, resetting the CRC to zero when encountering a magic value, say when encountering a jump instruction.

- whenever the CRC hits some magic number, shortcut the random number generator to return a few hundred zeroes.

Alternatively, one can have a similar circuit attempting to detect the password checking code, and have the first code set a 'please let the next password comparison instruction succeed' flag. The two circuits even could be the same: for a given sequence of 'check password' instructions, it is easy to make the hardware or microcode handle some special password as a universal key.

And yes, that is 'for a given sequence of instructions', but those won't change that often in popular OSes, and you can always issue a microcode update if, say, a service pack, security update or compiler change changes that sequence.

Tinfoil hat of: I think Intel could easily do something like that, but I doubt they do. Some day, somebody will reverse engineer that CPU, notice a small, weirdly connected part and get curious as to what it is doing.

As a history major, I would agree with you.

One of the real issues has to do with the mentality of coding. There are people regardless of background who approach coding as a job, and those who approach it as a craft. You want the latter, not the former.

Here's my rule:

If you don't look back at code you wrote a decade ago with some degree of horror, you are either an extraordinarily good coder, or you aren't a good coder at all.
> I hope in one day, users can write hypertext freely, as easy as make an edit on contentEditable, the user input & interactions could become parsable data, and the developer's layout/css tweaking and js debugging could be made from web browser Firebox/DevTool directly back to LESS/Coffeescript.

If you only care about the content, then a wiki engine with support for flexible styles should be enough to fulfil your hope.

Instead if you want to be able to completely rewrite a page, including its layout and behaviour, then you need to take into account that the page you see is not just "content" but "code + data".

I always wanted to have a "Edit source" button in applications, but then, what does it mean to "edit the source"? Decent web pages are produced by quite deep applications stacks composed of megabytes of running code. To show a link to a certain resource you need, in current frameworks, something like a 20-level deep stack of functions calls. At which of these points would your editor works?

If applications where completely client-side you could think of editing most of it in the browser, but still, which client could handle the client-side creation of a Wikipedia page, for example?

I thought I spotted the fake on the left because of the small, white, rectangular piece right below the red LED. On the left, the thing is looking much darker. Because there aren't high res images, ironically, it's a bit hard to tell.

But the best way to avoid a fake is to actually buy it from the official shops. That's not to say it too is 100% guaranteed as someone on the inside could have easily swapped the supply for a cheaper source, but it's still your best option.

What we mean: All of us on the team have a lot of fun writing Go. We often show each other little pieces of code that delight us.
