Thanks, I'm glad the explanation was helpful. I'm always worried that my explanations make no sense to anyone.

Same, the pmndrs folks at least pulled some of the examples stuff into https://github.com/pmndrs/three-stdlib which is ESM

Storybook 6.2 added support for Webpack5. Might want to give it another go https://storybook.js.org/blog/storybook-for-webpack-5/

Storybook pairs extremely well with https://www.chromatic.com to give you that great test automation experience. Essentially Chromatic runs visual diffing for all your stories. You can run them on multiple browsers and even for multiple view port sizes.

The distribution mechanism is different. The Stories can't be hosted on the web but, you can embed them in the app itself and give people access to it with a dev mode flag.

Yea absolutely. I've used it on a few projects. The workflow is slightly different since the stories on the the simulator/device but, you get all the same benefits.

For everyone complaining about the lack of meatballs… here are some: https://codepen.io/winkerVSbecks/full/oGJLwo/

this is so well done! I'm going to have to try out real metaballs now.

That is awesome!

Absolutely. This is by far worst way to render metaballs But, I love that you can do this as just paths.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you could probably make 3D bezier curves to generate the connector. The real iso-surface metaball definitely works in 3D.

Thanks for pointing that out. Added a fix for Safari.

Yes. That said placing an SVG in markup gives you a lot more flexibility.

That's an awesome explanation! I wasn't even aware of "simplex". Guess I'm going to have to add it to my list of things to obsess about.

My intention wasn't to make something Chrome specific but, I did mess up by not testing in other browsers. Sorry about that.

Turns out that you can't set circle radius in CSS in both Safari and Firefox. For some reason Chrome supports it. Not sure what the correct spec is. In any case it's fixed now.

Modernizr is just for older browsers. If you don't care about supporting older browsers or are building for mobile then you can get rid of it.

For the latest project at work I've been using Yeoman with Grunt, Bower and NPM for the Node part. It has been a fantastic experience and a brilliantly streamlined workflow. I would highly recommend it.

The yeoman-angular generator is great at setting up scaffolding and then grunt build spits out concatenated and minified js and CSS files. You can also run all your tests using Grunt (which also get setup by the yeoman generator).

Am I the only one who thought this was about Pelé?

Someone needs to fix the font on that website. Ultra thin font on white background and not rendering properly – highly, unreadable!

The loss of Reader doesn't matter much to me a most others. It's the fact that Reader synced all my RSS feeds to whichever application that was/is the flavour of the month. It's that ability to have a repository of your feeds available in an instance. That's the product people need. Google should try to build that functionality into Gmail or something.

Also, fuck any RSS feed reading service that charges monthly. I'll pay for an app, but I'm not paying a monthly subscription fee to read freely available content.

What's the problem with Angular's choice?

Proprietary elements in Angular are called directives. You define them and choose how to render them, what data to pass to them and linked functions to call after rendering. Everything is taken care of, it's not like the browser is going to freakout and not know what to do.

Yea the new buttons just don't feel right. In the case of checkbox (button toolbar style) it is quite hard to tell which one is selected. Maybe they should aim for a more Rdio/Dropbox style solution. Mostly flat except for buttons and input elements.

yes but the collapsing features are not applicable i.e. navbars won't collapse or elements won't auto hide, etc.

Really beautiful design. However, I'm not really sure what this is trying to be. Is it a fork of Bootstrap or do they see themselves as a separate entity. Because if this is indeed a fork of Bootstrap I do have a few grievances:

- Why are there no fixed to top navbars? - What about lists or stacked navs? - I don't see any responsive behaviour - It seems to be missing almost all of js from Bootstrap and doesn't have equivalent implementations in most cases. - Hover based dropdown menu is a bit irritating, much rather have click based events. But that's a personal preference.

On the whole it's beautifully designed but it's missing so much in comparison to Bootstrap that it becomes useless for building apps.

Also, maybe mention Bootstrap somewhere on the page.

you sir, just won the interweb!

The geometry answer is freaking brilliant. Great way to think about and teach fractions.

This sounds like the BS that "social media" experts say. All fluff and no meaning. The website gives zero information about what they are doing while using some key buzzwords. It just reeks of an opportunist salesman trying to make some money by selling people snake oil.

Why is it so huge? Makes it pointless in my opinion, no way I'm carrying that around. Surely this can achieved in a smaller form factor.

check http://processing.org and http://www.openframeworks.cc/ forums, they both have communities full of digital artists and these are mostly the tools of choice for these artists.

London is actually a great hub for this kind of work with artists such as http://ww.chrisoshea.org/, http://toxi.co.uk/, http://www.memo.tv/category/work/, etc based there. I am sure there are local organisations promoting digital work, contacting these people and posting the above mentioned forums might be a good place to start.
