HN discussionHere are a couple of my favorites: http://okaysamurai.com/portfolio/okaydave2006.html - It was built in Flash over 10 years ago, but the skill and creativity behind it is a force that is absolutely still relevant today. http://shauninman.com/pendium/

HN discussionTL,DR: If PICO-8 is your highest priority, no preferable alternative exists anywhere near the RGB30's price point. The next best options are probably the TRIMUI Smart Pro or the Miyoo Mini v4, but both have serious shortcomings relative to the RGB30, including the fact that neither can run the PICO-8 binary natively, and the workarounds they employ can negatively impact performance¹ ². At any price, Android or FPGA-…

HN discussionlayouts in CSS are easy while relationships between elements are simple. CSS is a poor solution for layouts that require complex constraints between elements that have no direct child/parent or sibling relationship. Think application layout as opposed to brochure website layout. Also, CSS is quite silly. Why do I set margin:auto when I want to horizontally center something? The tricks we all learn to muscle CSS into…

HN discussionI self-host an instance of https://feedafever.com/ which works nicely with https://www.reeder.ch/ on my iPhone and Mac at home and also quite nicely online (at work, but psst, don't tell anyone). Fever is unsupported, though [1], but it's still working nicely. Once it stops working, I'll switch to something that's supported by Reeder, which is an indispensable piece of software for me.

HN discussion– MPlayerX ( http://mplayerx.org/ ) Great standalone video player - Perian ( http://perian.org ) Perian lets quicktime run almost any video format.

HN discussionThis is a nice little starter intro to CSS for forms. To be really useful, it'd have to demo some of the harder elements to style, the hardest being inputs for uploading files. I haven't seen a technique yet that doesn't require some javascript to compensate for browser quirks: http://www.shauninman.com/archive/2007/09/10/styling_file_in...
