a joke worth making a burner over?


So perplexing - in the interactive demos, the latency slider acts not as a network latency but more a debounce buffer? Why? Why? I just don't get it


We wanted to go with the simplest model of latency that would suffice to demonstrate the problems that come up when dealing with state mutated in multiple locations. The advantage of this approach is that we can do it without hiding any state from the reader — the pie chart exposes the only internal state that exists. It’s not meant to be an accurate network simulation, just to build intuition.


They set the root font size relative to the total width of the screen (1.04vw) with the rest of the styling using rem units

Ive never seen anyone do that before.. It may well be the only way to circumvent browser zoom


Why don't browsers reduce the screen width when you zoom in, as they adjust every other unit (cm, px)?


They effectively do. All css absolute units are effectively defined as ratios of each other and zoom*DPI*physicalPixels sets the ratio of how many physical pixels each absolute unit will end up turning into. Increase zoom and the screen seems to have shrunk to some smaller 'cm' and so on.

For things like 'vh' and 'vw' it just doesn't matter "how many cm" the screen is as 20% of the viewing space always comes out to 20% of the viewing space regardless how many 'cm' that is said to be equivalent to.


Oh duh, right. Thanks!


Why is it so desirable to circumvent browser zoom? I hate it.


HTTP/1.1 is no different from HTTP/2 and even HTTP/3 when it comes to multiple domains. The optimization strategies are all aimed at solving simultaneous resource requests from a single host (not domain but close enough) - should be obvious when you consider that each host requires at least one separate socket connection anyway.

In practice http/1.1 with 1 connection per request even encouraged making more domains/subdomains if you wanted to have more simultaneous requests


not only UI extensions. for some time now extension developers can opt in to provide browser worker targeted bundles for their extensions.


Sure, I’ve even made a handful of those myself. I contrast them with workspace extensions that run on a (possibly remote) host with full access to subprocesses/etc.


The world where nothing ever happens


Yes it can. It's as absurd as claiming you can't talk about a person without mentioning their eventual death.


Are there any such solutions/standards available? Tried searching Particle Syntax documents, nothing came up. That's exactly the sort of problem I'm working on now


I should make this easier to use any day now. High on my priority list.

Here's the issue:

It's not growing, it's cutting and amplifying that happens on this step. Without it there is less certainty the attention will go the right way. When it is fully pronounced- as if you heard it with your ears - it sort of ripples through your brain, like a physical sensation, echoing for some time. Pulling it out word by word feels natural so You think it was already there, but The thought is not "activated" full strength until you walk it fully with attention, theres only a vague shape, a direction, broad and uncertain. Without it you get faster less lasting thoughts that won't chain well to form a cohesive picture. less sharpness, less resolution, a kind of intuition, maybe it is intuition. You probably get those sometimes, a complex idea that is hard to verbalise, but you can sense it, and you are probably aware how ephemeral they are if you dont stop to give them all your attention. You already know how to think like that, it just doesn't register that you are doing it because it doesn't "echo", you still walk them to remember them


double tap zoom is annoying. it is easy to imagine inexperienced users getting lost because of it.
