Whatever may be the case. (I'm neither playing Threes!, nor 2048, but I'm caring for development and original ideas.) I was just mentioning that their argument wouldn't have been just &…

I would propose that a substantial argument was made in this post: You're mentioning that most of the games in the stores would be BS, lacking creativity, just hunting for in-app-purchases, etc. …

The argument would be like, "if I don't care, if original ideas are being developed for games (and, if I don't care, if it's viable to do so), I don't care for the games, I en…

If you would have read their blog-post, you've also encountered their argument, why Threes! would be the better game in their eyes: "But why is Threes better? It’s better for us, for our goa…

So, if I get this right, you're saying, you don't care for 2048, because you do not care for the game's original idea being developed in the first place?

This is short for "fabulous"! (informal amazingly good; wonderful; see Oxford Dictionary, c.f. "The fab four", aka "The Beatles")

fab!

You mean like: http://www.masswerk.at/flyer/ ? I don't think that this could be recreated in CSS only, you need to do at least some calculations and conditional execution fo…

But, what is this compared to the JS-animated status-text? (Does anyone remember window.status -- the 90s equivalent to the title-attribute? Does anyone remember a browser with a status bar?)

And it even can play Bach and connect to the network, like the PDP-1! :-)

And now consider that 4096 bytes (words) was exactly the total memory of a DEC PDP-1, considered to be a mainframe in its time and featuring timesharing and things like Spacewar!. And now we're p…

Array.forEach() anyone? What's the deeper sense in superseding built-in features by libraries? (I know there's IE, but ... what about just fixing Array.prototype.forEach for those? "if …

Thinking a bit further, but this is pure speculation (and quite over my level of insight into JS-engine-interna): window.onerror gives you essentially a post mortem dump, as gives you the error messag…

To my humble knowledge this (interpreter mode) also applies to FF (which would be handled in the case of this application by the error-event anyway). I would consider it at least as a "legacy beh…

Please mind that wrapping code in a try-block will send (at least some) JS-engines directly into interpreter mode (no compile-mode, no JIT-mode) and this will have severe effects on the execution spee…

No ads, but it features some basic Doodles: Dec 23, 24-26, 31, Jan 1.

The sounds are actually extracted from footage showing this kind of equipment at work. The tape drive operations are controlled by random (based on what assumptions on the index and block locations sh…

The other (more traditional way) would be to address anything in plain JS and add special code to handle things for IE, rather than piping all browser through some abstraction layer. (Same applies for…

Both are actually using the old Google REST API that didn't have a such restricted free quota as the current custom search API. But the REST API has been marked as deprecated for three years now …

But the real Google started out even in HTML quite sparse with a simple white page. It took 10 years before there were more complex doodles. Don't miss the ASCII image previews at http:/&#x…

Obligatory Google BBS reply: Now the whole script of how it would connect comes from a viral video by Squirrel-Monkey.com (see also the link at the page). "Google BBS" just put this into int…

Not exactly a gif-image, because of license restrictions (which may also be a problem with any OSS library), but image/png, image/jpeg and (Chrome) image/webp and any animations built o…

Er ... "I can now grab the user's webcam stream, generate a GIF, and let the user download or share it on an image hosting platform. And all of this is done in the front-end using a lightwei…
