You can do this with a normal slider as well. Map a large pointer movement to a small control movement.

Yes. This is a very good podcast. Give it a chance.

”I completely broke the website and now it looks completely broken.”

Fun example! Strange conclusion. React actually uses a synthetic event system that is subtly different from the native one in all kinds of little ways. In reading the docs it’s hard to even get an ove…

No, I was also around when React was new, moving to it from tangles of jQuery and Backbone. I absolutely know React brought several lasting innovations, in particular the component model, and I do app…

No, and not before that either. It’s a bizarre thing to say, honestly. React is used near universally, despite there being alternatives that are better in almost every way. That is the opposite of bei…

The ad hominem is unnecessary when there are more substantial criticisms of his writing and interviews.

> The problem isn't that people are cancelling […] but that investors are getting upset about it ”The problem isn’t that my PR is buggy, but that the reviewer is getting upset about it”

I cancelled my Disney+ subscription through App Store, but since payment is monthly and in advance I still have access for a few more days. So I wonder if my cancellation has even registered in these …

You’ve picked a difficult way to make your first typeface. A monoline design with a strict vector grid doesn’t leave a lot of room for the kind of optical adjustments needed for balanced and readable …

Calling it some 1999 iMac stuff is fair, but in that case it was replaced with some 2007 iPhone stuff. I’m not so sure that’s a step forward for a desktop OS.

Adding to the list: The Adventures of Reemo Green. Very funny, and the first time I’ve watched AI video and enjoyed it as more than a technical curiosity. https://www.youtube.com/watch…

> The line on the left is a trail of a flying insect, not a laser beam. It is a curved, short line segment. That photo has some serious fisheye distortion going on though, so the line could very we…

It sounded very weird to me too. Perspective projection isn’t equal area. But I think he’s probably not trying to say that the projection would be identical, just that a circle in the center correspon…

It’s not a definition, it’s an implementation. A definition would be something like ”constrain a number to an interval defined by two other numbers”. That happens to be identical to sorting and pickin…

I would be a little upset if a clamp function could throw a validation error when I passed only numbers. I’ve always written clamp to work even if min is larger than max. Basically, clamp comes down t…

Just got a brand new iPhone 17 Pro. Even in the setup flow there are tons of little UI glitches going on. Layout jumping around randomly, screens resetting awkwardly, icons not laid out well in their …

This is a serious project that has been going on for over a decade. In fact, it looks like it hasn’t been updated very much for the past four years or so. So, most of the content predates AI hallucina…

I can see how the bill itself was a mistake, but the real scary thing to me is the timeline. Seven days from action required to deletion of all your data isn’t reasonable under any circumstances.…
