NASA only uses 15 digits of π for calculating interplanetary travel. At 40 digits, you could calculate the circumference of a circle the size of the visible universe with an accuracy that’d fall off by less than the diameter of a single hydrogen atom http://ow.ly/rhmO30o4k7G

“Creatures” is a game from 1996 that pioneered Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. 🤖🧠

This short documentary shows how it managed to give life to dozens of small, furry creatures in just 1000 artificial neurons or so.

Every time a dev or pseudo-dev builds a home-grown app for exactly what they need and no more (sans data tracking, external ownership, lack of control), the end-user programming spirits glow brighter ✨

Not gonna lie I kind miss the olden days where I’d code up a sick index.html file and drag it into the root folder with Cyberduck/FileZilla.

One year I went to Defcon and left an old laptop out with “Do your worst” written on it.

I cam back to it a few hours later and it hadn’t even been touched.

…Till I booted it up the next day and glitter spewed out of the fans on the back.

@simonw @mwseibel A big part of the problem is that social networks, with a big helping hand from Google itself, killed the Web. The closing of Google Reader was a signal of what was to come. There’s no way today to do something like PageRank, because nobody links to or curates content anymore.

We all talk about how infinitely scrolling websites are often bad for user experience… but we never talk about how it makes the footer feel.

So I made this @CodePen to help shine a light on the footer’s never-ending sorrow. 😢

I’m feeling very philosophical with all the social media changes lately. I feel like videos take up so much of our time and focus, and with all of the apps prioritizing them so much, I feel less and less interested in watching/participating to… “own my focus” more, in a way.

The game’s hardest difficulty level is “Impossible,” and if you choose it Lou Reed stops you on the street, murders you, and explains that impossible doesn’t mean “very hard,” impossible is eating the sun.

HTML/CSS Tips for <img> 🤳

– Use “onerror” to catch and set a fallback “src” ✨ – Set a “subtle” background-color so users know something is coming 💀 – Use CSS aspect-ratio to avoid layout shifts 🖼️

• Remember your “alt” attribute where necessary 🙏

🔥 Well this is fancy! A pixellated Mario made out of (real!) <input type=“checkbox”> elements. Uses the new accent-color CSS property.

The fact that is considered legal for a corporation to compile perfect records of your private life simply because you had to “click OK to continue” to make your phone work is a perfect expression of who holds the power in society and why they should be cast into the sea.

Privacy must be the default because you never know if what you’ve been talking about may suddenly become evidence

Let’s clear this up once & for all:

• Progressive Enhancement is not anti-JavaScript.

• Progressive Enhancement != no JavaScript. It means “as much JavaScript as necessary”.

• JavaScript is imperative for creating many accessible custom UI patterns.

Did you know there are people that think of email as synchronous communication and think it’s …inappropriate to send email at certain times? How strange.
