Fun use of web technology. I love this stuff
With the start of Apple speculation season officially underway, you’d be hard-pressed to find more juicy info than the stuff on this Branch.
Dang. I plan on watching the crap out of this stuff.
Awesome thread on Quora about game development and memory restrictions back in the 80s-90s.
Particularly enjoyed this answer…
When offering guidance, I’ve too often been met with “but I’m not qualified for that” or “nobody would believe I’m capable of that.” We believe that, because someone else is doing something, they must have been anointed to do so. We think, “someone, somewhere validated that role.” I’d offer that the opposite is more likely true: most people aren’t qualified to be doing what they’re doing. Instead they were presented with an opportunity, and rather than waiting to be told they were ready, they simply jumped at the chance and figured it out as they went.
This. Don’t avoid trying something because you think you aren’t qualified. Make yourself qualified by doing it.
A well written work of fiction speaks to something much deeper and more visceral than impersonal theorizing ever could. As the author’s work is coated by layer upon layer of scholarly inference, so the beauty, lucidity and intimacy of the original is smothered in the cold, hard varnish of academia. No wonder so many of us leave high school with no interest in literature.

> The single most controversial part of the design was going “responsive” with the layout. I was against the responsive design from the beginning. I didn’t like the idea that a Web site looks completely different on a mobile and a desktop browser. I really dislike those mobile WordPress templates that try to emulate an app instead of just being a web page. Mobile Safari is a great browser. Why not let it be a browser?
> But Erik had a different take on responsive design and he won me over. His version just means the page is more readable. On a mobile browser, the menus collapse to a single dropdown. On a 1280x1024 desktop browser window, the menus spread out a bit more. Stretch the window even larger and the font size increases for viewing in Old-Man-Mode, which I appreciate greatly.
I’ve never understood people who hate on responsive design because the iOS browser is great. Sure it is. But what looks good and is readable on a desktop window isn’t so on an iPhone. Responsive sites can be built beautifully that keep the feel of the desktop site but give you a more pleasant mobile experience.
Me and Mrs. Brakebill. :) pretty pumped about what our awesome photographers did.
I’ve found that when faced with a set of seemingly insurmountable challenges, the first step towards making it easier is to break things down into as large a set of small individual tasks as possible.
Been trying to do this in as many avenues as possible.
Yup.
