That's a 10440 lithium ion cell. It's the size of a AAA battery. Probably bigger than the keyboard needs but they are cheap, standardized, and easy to source.

Or poor quality boards. I know I didn’t use a real slate board until later in university and it makes a world of difference. Really you need both, great chalk and a great board. But when you have both the feel is superb :)

I’m still not sure it isn’t

I upgraded to a Pace ADS200 and it’s dope.

Yeah, in the states we say 4x5, but in either case it’s the most common large format film size. You buy them in boxes and use them one sheet at a time.

My folks and I moved to a town outside Naples in 2000 and had a 128kbs symmetric ISDN. I remember it being fantastic. A huge upgrade from our 56k in the states at time of nascent Napster and online gaming.

The Olympus PEN cameras (and subsequent small cameras by olympus) have a in lens shutter that is simply two blades. The blades have a triangle cut out of each side and form a diamond shaped aperture. In this shutter the shutter blades form the aperture. This design is from at least 1959 with the release of the PEN.

I heard Stephen Segerman on NPR yesterday say that he eventually took his crooked manager to court and got the money from the record sales.

I believe the conceit here is that _why is communicating to us through a printer queue or "spool". PCL files are a form of printer data file.

We, as a field, should be very careful about forgiving our tools of the sin of complex and tedious design because those flaws can possibly be remediate with LLMs.

The complexity of boilerplate does not only exist for the author but every future author.

It is not my experience that LLMs and other complex automations are nearly as good as refactoring and changes as they are at generating boilerplate in the first place. In the end this code lives on as a human concern despite the automation.

Being a webapp and adding GPU rendering are not orthogonal. Figma for instance famously renders it's UI in WebGL.

While I mostly agree that creators of today's web forget that there are a number of simple techniques to render fast pages, there are also a bunch of places where the HTML+CSS+JS web technologies serve us poorly.

* Content Editable is a terrible editing canvas

* Dom and CSS are pretty terrible core animation primitives

* DOM and CSS make for pretty poor interactive graphics capabilities

And in these cases WebGL offers some interesting alternatives to explore.

Totally. It would be /amazing/ if I could leverage the browser's existing (and largely excellent) document and text layout engine from /within/ WebGL. Let me build up my UI as I want, and inject a DOM into that.

I think you might be confused about where I'm coming from and starting at. I've been writing rich web applications professionally since 2004.
