I wonder what Balatro dos that wouldn’t be possible on a 486.

Some fans ported Balatro to the VBA if you want a comparison of what is possible.

But the buffer for a full HD screen fill most of the memory of a typical 486 computer I think

I'm kind of confused, I'm interested by the idea but there doesn't seems to be a link to source code, or download, or some kind of live server? Is it just a concept?

edit: Just saw the url path is called "design-pitch-ann"

Shower thought: `<a href="..." target="_mobile">` should transfer a link in a desktop into my phone. Same goes for `target="_desktop"` but in the opposite direction.

Should it really be up to the Website designer to decide?

On Firefox I have the "Send Link to Device" context action that allow me to open a link on my Phone or Desktop.

Funny you're being downvoted. Meta shareholders? :-)
staz · a year ago
it's probably being downvoted because it's empty virtue signaling that doesn't provide anything to the discourse

> Given that that's its main value proposition, what exactly is the reason for saying that JSON-as-data-format should not have comments? What do we lose if we allow them?

Because JSON originally did have comments, and people were putting pragmas into them, and so different parsers would act different depending on whether they understood them or not. Comments ended up being an anti-feature in JSON because people were abusing them.

Source:

> I removed comments from JSON because I saw people were using them to hold parsing directives, a practice which would have destroyed interoperability. I know that the lack of comments makes some people sad, but it shouldn't. […]

You cut the rest of his comment

> Suppose you are using JSON to keep configuration files, which you would like to annotate. Go ahead and insert all the comments you like. Then pipe it through JSMin before handing it to your JSON parser.

Doesn't seems he is that against the idea

Ironically this did not render in Firefox on Android (just the spinner kept spinning) Worked in Chrome.

That said, epubs are great for reading books on mobile. The advantage for pdfs is that they contain highlights/notes, so you can directly import them into Zotero and all your annotations are there. For epub, you have to hope there is a way to export the annotations that are stored by the reader app, and then you have to process them further. Readera is a great reader for mobile that makes this possible. I'm currently working on a script that will convert an epub to pdf, extract the annotations from Readera, and mark them in the pdf. Then I can import the pdf into Zotero, while still retaining the great reading experience of epubs.

It is working for me on my Firefox on Android.

One of the nice benefits I can already experience in his document it the working TOC sidebar which allow navigation in the document. (Compared to classical HTML not PDF)

Awesome I always wanted something like this and didn't make the connection it would be that obvious to do. Thanks! You are going to make my life nicer

As I wrote under another comment, this doesn't seem like a good reason or I must be missing something because I can selfhost Matrix or an XMPP server and get notifications for free with any client.

Whatever Zulip is offering here is not good and if these other offerings can make it free, Zulip should be able to too without charge or requiring I recompile their app.

staz · 2 years ago
Isn't that pull notification instead of push?
