The point I'm making is not "use short variables everywhere", it's that in this case, the verbose alternative is not "much more readable". Abbreviating "element" to "el" or using "attr" instead of "attribute" (etc.) can…
They'll figure it out. They're a programmer, figuring things out is their job.

Except there isn't any problem here whatsoever. Yes, it's coupled, but it doesn't matter. No, this kind of code doesn't scale. It doesn't have to. The time you spent writing this comment was longer than what it took…

Imagine how self-important you have to be to say you can't be on the same platform as Alex Jones and therefore you must quit. The word "hateful" is used like weapon here. If only you put yourself into the frame of mind…
> Russia with Putin as its leader stands in the way of American domination of Eurasia. Hence, the military encirclement of Russia and the belligerent anti-Russian rhetoric from American leaders. Is the US really…
Military people applying their experiences to company leadership are problematic, because they worked with a selection of people that doesn't reflect the general population. In the general population, not everyone wants…
That's not true. I'm sometimes faced with a lot of companies to choose from and if one of those companies has a badly designed logo, I'll immediately become suspicious of all of their other qualities. On the other hand,…
I can't remember ever having been stunned by a logo. The height of my experiences could be described as: "Oh, nice logo." or "Hmm, clever." The line between "clever" and "trying too hard to be clever" is also quite…
So, a "feature" in the installer allows an already installed malicious app to install even more malicious apps. That new malicious app then gets to somehow have more permissions than the original malicious app or the…
Excuse me, I've been abusing others? I completely reject this description, that's bordering on libel on your part. What I have replied to here is patently untrue, so forgive me my occasional "you have no idea what you…
Do you realize that in Canvas colors are represented as a "series of text strings" that need to be parsed? Did you know that drawing paths requires a ton of pretty expensive Javascript calls or alternatively passing "a…

The difference in performance with Flash is huge, modifying the context is quite expensive, resetting it is expensive, which is problematic because it is stateful. You have to compare it to non-Web technology to get an…
I have no idea what exactly you did, but I can't fathom how you would form such opinions from hands-on experience with both technologies. You say things like "just export to HTML5 from Adobe Animate/Flash", but if you…
That's why I said "at least in terms of propaganda". Anything that's owned by the state is considered to be owned by (all) the people. Venezuela also is not by definition a socialist country, it just has a socialist…
> In modern political discourse, democratic socialism and social democracy are considered interchangeable Not at all, case in point: We are having a political discourse and people don't consider it interchangeable.
That's not a library, that's a demo and it takes several seconds to load, just like a flash applet would. I'm aware of minimalist things that can put stuff on-screen instantly, but not of something that's a fleshed out…
Because mobile GPUs have terrible drivers that rarely get updated and browser vendors can't be bothered to deal with that combinatorial explosion. Having said that, iOS isn't that bad.
The fact that a browser supports WebGL tells you nothing about which devices support it. It all depends on the GPU and its drivers, browsers have blacklists of GPUs, but even if your device is not blacklisted, it may…

It's not a "3D engine", it's basic line and shape drawing. With SVG, you will easily run into the same performance issues with any kind of dynamic content, 3D or not. With Canvas, you may or may not run into them,…
Those don't fill the same void at all, you need tons of code to do something useful with those, all of which needs to be downloaded, compiled and executed. Show me the library using WASM/WebGL that loads as quickly as…
