esquevin··on The Art of Dithering and Retro Shading for the Web (2024)
Go look at the code! it's just a right click > inspect away.

And you'll see you just needs a single CSS property `backdrop-filter: blur(8px);` to achieve this effect nowadays =)

From this new vector format it should be simpler now to restore the original colors envisioned by Jef Raskin

esquevin··on I Know What You Download on BitTorrent
In France I've had a static IP for years.

The french internet provider free.fr used to do this by default. I'm using another one nowadays which also let me have a static IP https://assistance.free.fr/articles/disposer-dune-adresse-ip...

esquevin··on Toaster: Pure CSS 3D Editor
The 3d rendering is purely CSS based and not webgl in a canvas.
esquevin··on Show HN: A daily math puzzle inspired by Wordle
A nice and well done puzzle, congrats =)

You could maybe add some kind of visual validation when the proposition entered does not equals the expected amount.

Maybe adding the "= 23" at the end of the (current) line could be a good visual clue that the equation is supposed to validate this.

esquevin··on The M1 MacBook Air is the best computer I've ever owned
> The performance feels a lot better than my MacBook Pro 16”, which is only a year old and about 3x the price.

Last sentence of the first paragraph

esquevin··on The redesign of New York City's subway map [video]
A live map also reflects all the current changes the subway is underway, such as maintenance, closed stations, etc… Of course people managed to go use the subway for decades using this old map, what they're trying to do is improve on things. I for sure would like to see that kind of tech used for other subways in the world.
esquevin··on What you could steal from the Kakoune code editor, and get away with
IMHO we are trained to look for a home link in the header.

I'd say that, even though the author put a link in the article, it's easy to miss it if you read the whole article first, then try to find more informations about Kakoune :/

esquevin··on Common mistakes writing React components with hooks
Exemples would be welcome here as I've a strong belief that hooks made react components cleaner / shorter
esquevin··on “Spiel des Jahres” Game of the Year 2017 winners
I found TIME Stories to be an expensive box of disappointment. You can play it only once since there is only one scenario in the box and you need to buy others after that. You'll be done with it in a couple hours
esquevin··on I make $10k per month with the Amazon Affiliate Program
You have no proof of that… For all we know this might be the writer only source of income

Thank you I just had a blast reading it =)
esquevin··on Did Pixar accidentally delete Toy Story 2 during production? (2012)
And that you already tried to restore from it
esquevin··on Did Pixar accidentally delete Toy Story 2 during production? (2012)
In the case of toy story 2, I think the analogy would be that they ditched the product they were working on to create a different one. Thus making joel's point non relevant there
esquevin··on A Visa for founders, engineers and investors willing to join France
You'll definitely earn way less, but you'll be entitled to a lot of vacations (5~7 weeks of paid vacations). The Americans I know that went to work to France don't want to go back
esquevin··on A Visa for founders, engineers and investors willing to join France
You raise an interesting point. I mostly answered from the point of view of an engineer, for whom it's not the biggest issue not to speak french. For a founder though it'd make things more complicated. They'd need to have someone close who speaks french, especially since there is a bunch of paperwork to do to start a company here and some physical interactions with french administration where english speaking might not be guaranteed.
esquevin··on A Visa for founders, engineers and investors willing to join France
Not that big a deal. French people in startups tend to speak english.

esquevin··on The Godzilla of Solar Ovens
As the article suggests, the Mt Louis Solar oven was a prototype that lead to the real godzilla, the Odeillo Solar Furnace:

This thing is massive and a beauty to look at. I remember going through the tour in the 90s, there were very thick steel plates on display that where melted like butter in the center it was really impressive. https://books.google.fr/books?id=VQEAAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA88&lpg=PA...
