I can agree with all but last point.

There’s no proof nor counter-proof that human brain doesn’t work like that.


Can't prove the negative. Prove that it does instead.


Will come back to this comment in 15 years and admit you are right


I host my blog using plain HTML and I have a compile step - a Python script that converts markdown to HTML, which minimizes the energy I spend on... wrapping everything in HTML tags?

Same, except I skipped Python and went with bash (https://gist.github.com/lelanthran/2634fc2508c93a437ba5ca511... if you're curious).

If I had to do it again, I'd go with Python, but because it started off as a small 5 line shell script I thought "Why bother with Python?".


If you have a business website, customers expect a clean site with good visuals and a great user experience. Unless you are as big as Amazon. Sadly overengineering things is a necessary evil nowadays. If I had the choice I wouldn't even build websites mobile friendly but well... got no choice.


Hey, customers are people too, and they can and will say "no", too. "good looking" doesn't do it when it cannot do basic things.


Customers will use the thing that feels best, if there's a different tool that offers more but looks bad, most customers won't swap. People will use what they are accustomed to.


For Authy I don’t even feel sorry. Proprietary TOTP. sorry for off-topic


I used some build of blender on windows mobile, crazy how efficiently it worked on 400Mhz HTC Niki, just the screen size, so the performance part seems to be done since forever :D


I would also compare reading to being reprogrammed like EEPROM. Although the process is slower, the changes feel more permanent when learning: you need to create connections yourself from examples compared to someone demonstrating it on the video.


As a European this thing brings more nostalgia than practicality.

However, isn't it better to implement this A -> G scale we have in the EU? It's easier to read than EnergyGuide.


Sounds plausible. I was blown away when Apple Watch could run some of WebGL samples (such as Aquarium with artifacts) back in 2020.


I wouldn't necessarily call it debugging, more like "remote helpdesk". Either way, this is a brilliant way to "compress" instructions.


It sort of was debugging because I'd written a ton of stuff for them in 1-2-3 (on site). This was their accounting system for a small business and I was "debugging" something rather simple: they weren't getting all the columns printed on their dot matrix.


The craziest part is that it executes on my iPhone SE 2020 in Safari. Textures work, shading works, pretty insane. I even managed to break a block.


Mobile is indeed supported, although the performance is not yet as nice as we would like.

The trickiest issue is input, since the "look around with your mouse" interaction maps very poorly on a mobile platform where "mousemove" implies touching / clicking.

We plan to eventually figure out a mobile-optimize UX, but we will most likely prioritize improving the performance first.


According to the story, he wrote a letter to some western guy and he sent him back a cassette with a game or two, and then the copying spree started.
