Near the title sign, on the center of the camp, is where I found the last one I missed

Weird, they do here in Brazil (Hybrid Civics as well). Must be a cost or regulatory thing more than anything else.

Thank you! I both programmed and designed this--I miss doing this kind of work.

Beautiful work! I thought the bus was a fun goofy touch on its first appearance hahah

Thank you, glad you like it!

Oh, I made this! (almost a decade ago, huh)

Oh, this was based off of a project I made for Codrops[1]. Let me know if you'd like some help or input!

You can select text this way too; once it’s in “trackpad mode”, tap the keyboard with another finger, and it will start text selection.

We still refer to the electricity bill as the “light bill” in Brazil.

Yes, that’s part of the intention of the law in fact, so that a company can’t advertise a lower price than the consumer would actually pay.

A friend of mine was (is?) completely unfazed by this sort of thing--right from the start, it was not some resistance built up over time.

She left the profession due to the long hours, low pay, and poor treatment.

Yes but the decision to redesign something might be towards people who haven't figured it out, which if they are a large enough fraction might be worth the tradeoff.

(there are other reasons too of course, sometimes not really good ones)

CGI is great actually, and most people have no idea when they are watching CGI stuff.

It's just that being able to do just about anything, down to implausible camera movements, requires restraint, and sometimes that's lacking.

(also low budget stuff might look bad, but that applies for every single thing)

That's already a thing, people asking why "CGI is getting worse"

There was no snow in São Paulo AFAIK; and snow in the south of Brazil, which did happen, happens more or less yearly.

(just a minor correction, not arguing against your general point)

Hahah I don't know if you meant that sarcastically, but I think I fit into that description--I do like, even love, driving, etc., but I do hate most of the consequences of having cars around.

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation

I didn't really care for the story itself that much, I was more fascinated by the whaling culture and the glimpse it provided of the views of that time and place, along with its fantastic writing. Which is why for me it wasn't a slog at all.

The word “literacy” also derives from familiarity with letters, but from latin instead of greek.

I live in the south of Brazil, it's pretty safe, but it depends on the city.

You can go pretty far with 1k USD here. Also pretty well served in terms of free healthcare, but I don't know how it works for foreigners.

Hahah the coin x-ray thing was great

Well I did say "exacerbated", not caused by it hahah

In Brazil it has been exacerbated by the legacy of the military dictatorship, openly defended by the current president, and lately by the high number of deaths caused by COVID and the reactions (or lack thereof) to that.

It is also my favourite. It's just narrow enough for using with multiple columns, but not too narrow that it affects legibility for me, and it's event customizable, for my nitpicky preferences.

Also thanks, I'm particularly proud of that map hahah

Hmmm I'm not sure if it could be properly used to circumvent ad blocking, after all the ads will still probably come from a separate request which one could block.

However I do see it being used for web apps that prioritise performance--in terms of providing a smooth experience, rather than load times. I think Figma already does that (through emscripten or wasm, I'm not sure); for it to be more widespread, only the tooling has to catch up (e.g. React Native).

Well it has sound it seems, which might actually be more important depending on what you're looking for.

There's no good reason, to my shame. But now that you mention, I think I'll get around to it and do it this week. Might be a good opportunity to round down a few rough edges here and there as well.

It _is_ really weird, that didn't use to happen either. Started happening after some update of either Chrome or macOS, I'm not certain which.

In fact I think this is one of the most frustrating things of working with WebGL (or any of those slightly less common browser APIs, really), lots of small weird compatibility issues and instabilities.
