That's true, but for smaller screens and only one or two apps per screen (in split screen view). I think the goal of multi-window might be to support larger display extensions (e.g. plugging a 24" display into a phone)?

I also use a tiling window manager on Linux, but I think Google's decision here is based on the general public - who probably aren't ready to learn a new window management scheme. For window management, overlapping floating and resizable windows are the norm, and I think will be for some time.

I think part of it is due to the fact that Google has greater access to a broader audience. Not everyone will search Twitter for "Donald Trump" but they will certainly search Google - so Google is providing a way for the candidates to take advantage of what is already happening probably millions of times every day.

I think the main argument against this is the risk of running out of battery while you are using the computer. Forcing the user to stop using the mouse to charge is not very great.

That being said, I think Apple's (or Ive's) justification for the port on the bottom would come from the design issues with a front-facing port (asymmetry), and I guess for them the trade-off is worth it. It probably is for me, too.

Stool is just a benchmarking utility for comparing JavaScript snippets. For each test case you enter a name and the code you want to run.

You can definitely code in your own editor, and copy/paste the JS into the text box.

Note however the tool is not meant for large amounts of JavaScript (e.g. not for comparing entire files), but rather for comparing specific atomic implementations (comparing sort algorithms, methods of query DOM elements, etc).

"After being awkwardly confused on how to even exit the program (pro-tip: it's :q!), they're left scarred for life after what Vim did to them, how dare a program force prerequisite knowledge on how to do simple operations like open or save a file!"

Exactly my first experience with Vim

Perhaps. This game was designed to be fairly difficult. Because there is no leveling system, the only way to make it fun or even addictive is to make it (slightly unreasonably) hard.

This strategy has been used very successfully in popular games like Flappy Bird and 2048.

That said, I agree that sometimes it may be impossible to complete a jump. This is a bug, and I would need to spend some time tweaking the generation constants to avoid this.

I agree with both of you - it was inspired by the Chrome T-Rex easter egg. However as pionar mentioned it was mostly for leaning (actually, it was mostly for "shits and giggles").

Thanks for trying out the game - I greatly appreciate your feedback

Every time the spacebar is pressed (on keydown), the reindeer jumps - so the key to the game is to time the jumps such that the reindeer both clears the snowman, and has enough room to make another jump if necessary. As noted by lowglow, holding down the spacebar does not get you very far.

The initial vertical velocity and downward acceleration are constant, so the height and duration is not random.
