echeese··on How we did it: SNL – “The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders” (2013)
That's false, px refers to CSS pixel, which is not tied to physical screen pixels.
echeese··on Show HN: I Made a Magic Trick
I have the same issue, Firefox 99 on Windows
echeese··on Web color is still broken
I've generated my own version of this (i just happened to be working on something that needed gamma correct rendering)

    middle: x

echeese··on Guess the daily Wordle in one try using the tweet distribution
Where's the challenge in that?
echeese··on Xterm.js
That would be considerably more work. Could make a fun Thanksgiving weekend project, though.
echeese··on Xterm.js
Wonder no more: https://i.imgur.com/DGuoj9p.png
echeese··on Live feed of Starship SN10 flight test [video]
Hey now, one step at a time.
echeese··on What color was “Apple Beige”?
I was told beige was common because it hides dust the best.
echeese··on Ask HN: What YouTube channels do you subscribe to?
I follow a few people who make stuff and show the process:

- Ben Eater: https://www.youtube.com/c/BenEater

- Mark Rober: https://www.youtube.com/c/MarkRober

echeese··on Show HN: Is It Playable Yet? – Check current issues on PC video games
Control comes up with people having problems with their controllers
echeese··on Fast Inverse Square Root
I wonder how it holds up to something like this on a modern processor and compiler:

    float rsqrt(float number) { return 1.0f / sqrtf(number); }
echeese··on WebRTC Samples
If I want to add WebRTC capabilities to an existing server, what's the simplest way of doing that? This is for a game, all I need is an unreliable RTCDataChannel
echeese··on Show HN: Curl https://ec2.shop
The prices column is sorted lexicographically, instead of numeric, i.e. 1, 10, 2
echeese··on Face ID and Touch ID for the Web
The current Yubikey works with NFC on iOS, it just doesn't work if you add a PIN to it (which Windows Hello requires). They mention that they added PIN support in the changelog
echeese··on Face ID and Touch ID for the Web
I got a Yubikey earlier this year and was disappointed by Apple's implementation of WebAuthn it (doesn't work if there's a PIN on the device) but it looks like they're fixing that as well in iOS 14
echeese··on Ask HN: Thoughts on new GitHub layout?
It'll take me a few days to get used to it but it's not bad.
echeese··on Firefox 77
When did they say that?
echeese··on Libschrift: A lightweight TrueType font rendering library
Yeah that sounds like something like Harfbuzz could do.

I wrote my own version - seems to run smoother https://speets.ca/dvd/

It reloads the page when you resize
echeese··on A TCP/IP Tutorial (1991)
I've always been a fan of Beej's Guide to Network Programming https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/
echeese··on Why Discord is switching from Go to Rust
Nah, guaranteed memory safety is actually one of Rust's main selling points
echeese··on A Guide to WebAuthn
In that case you should probably not use this, or if you do, sign out of your accounts. If you're worried about Face ID, you can actually temporarily disable it easily (without even looking at your device) by holding down the power button and volume up until it vibrates.
echeese··on The Oldschool PC Font Pack
I found it on Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/msdos_festival_TDRAW500
echeese··on A Guide to WebAuthn
What's stopping them from doing that now?
echeese··on The Polygons of Another World: IBM PC
And those BIOS calls were so much slower
echeese··on WebAssembly becomes a W3C Recommendation
I was actually thinking about the switch from asm.js to WASM (v1.38.1) but apparently that was last year. Whoops!
echeese··on WebAssembly becomes a W3C Recommendation
Emscripten has been able to compile to WASM since before WASM was implemented in browsers. It became the default output earlier this year.
