But Worldcoin doesn't solve the problem of unequal distribution. The real world still exists. Even if the food/money is perfectly evenly distributed via Worldcoin, a gang boss can have his muscle go around and threaten…
Some people with otherwise perfect eyesight (like me) physically can't do that.

That’s funny, I’m the opposite. I love front-end work. I adore JavaScript when I can write it using TypeScript. I program in React for my job all day and go home and make more React websites for fun. I do appreciate the…
Because going to all this trouble has distinct advantages. - With media queries in CSS my page can be responsive, scaling its size and content from 320px smartphones to multi-monitor desktops. I don't have to build and…
Sure do! This has been an issue in web design since 1999. Usability studies back this up. Open New Windows for PDF and other Non-Web Documents (Jakob Nielsen, 2005) [0] The Top 10 Web Design Mistakes of 1999 (Jakob…
Love it. I'm not an engine guy, so having some of it done for me is wonderful. ImpactJS is well documented, reasonably fast, and has classes for the basics that work well. Plus it has a level editor that now includes…
I'm working in a 2D RPG in ImpactJS. Spent the last week getting HTML 5 caching to work on desktop and iOS, then put the finishing touches on a bash script to update the cache manifest, compress all my JS files and…
The new lighting engine is welcome. Torches give off an orange glow, and outside light peeks through openings with a misty blue look. This makes exploring much more tense and atmospheric. I'm also fond of the larger…
What was behind the decision to use Starbucks' size names for your plans? I really like the site and the prices are reasonable, but the thought of signing up for a "Venti" video hosting service doesn't sound appealing…
I believe Nintendo intends to profit via software licensing and hardware sales. The Wii was profitable at launch[1]. But I wonder how the Virtual Console works on the Wii. Does Nintendo have an SNES hardware-to-software…
Except Apple doesn't seem to care about achieving huge market share for the iPhone. They care about money, and by delaying the iPhone 5 they've managed to make even more money than usual. It must be habit that we go for…
You don't even have to do that much. Just click the Get Started button without typing in anything.
The title certainly suggests that opinion. What makes no sense to me is that there WAS a huge uproar. It dominated the tech news for a day or two. "Openness withering" declared ArsTechnica[1]. Did Jim Dalrymple fall…
Bon Jovi's comments make much more sense if you replace the word "kill" with "change." iTunes and others have changed the music industry and they're not done yet. The experiences he had are gone, but there are new ones…
It's a brilliant idea, and makes sense in context of Amazon setting up their own Android store. Of course, Amazon's Android store policies are fairly heavy-handed when compared to Google's, but if they launched their…
I went online this morning at 8AM EST to look at the iPad 2 shipping time. It was 3-5 days, and I said "enh." Then I went back an hour later and it was up to 2-3 weeks. Depressing. I wonder if Apple isn't a little…
After the iPod Nano watch, I smell the next obvious Apple accessory: the iPad Keytar.
The PS1/PS2 had dual analog sticks, but I'm interested in the proper position part. Maybe it is a preference thing, as I went straight from the SNES to the first Xbox in console games, but the Xbox layout of dual sticks…
True, though you could say the Dreamcast first put a toe in that water with its modem and Phantasy Star Online. But the original Xbox was a great step forward for gaming consoles: built-in hard drive, Ethernet port,…
Some more thoughts as I'm clicking through: - You have a "Get Started" button on the home page that takes me to a 37signals-ish price selector. Fine. But then you have the exact same "Get Started" button below each…
Nice! I saw the tagline ("documentation") and thought, oh, that's a cool service. Then it changed to "blog articles" and I ooh'd a little bit. The purpose is good, and I like the testimonials on the front page. One…
I have exactly one reason to launch Reader by itself: when setting up a computer for another user in my organization, I launch Reader once to accept the license agreement on his/her behalf. Then I delete the icon.
I wonder if Apple will eventually replace the dock connector on the iPhone/iPad with Thunderbolt? That would be a compelling reason to upgrade: your music sync time would be freed of another bottleneck. Of course, it…
Many App developers are being forced to change their practices, and find the new rules too burdensome to continue. Which is the best solution to this problem. Please let this be the first use of the remote kill…
