I actually really liked the scrolling effect on this website.


It's utterly broken on mobiles, will fix that hopefully soon, feel free to fork at https://github.com/brunohaid/houseofcards


For python, can't you use SIMD by way of C extensions?


On the web? Try substituting the name of a different language for Javascript on the linked press release, and see why it doesn't work.


Huh? If JavaScript the compiler target supports SIMD, your SIMD-supporting language can make use of that.

Dart will do that. Python, Haskell, or whatever are free to do the same.


I think he is talking about real support and not crappy transpilation.


I don't see how that would be related to SIMD support in JavaScript.


While knowing C certainly helps, it is not essential to learning Objective C, at least it wasn't for me. If you try first to understand it at a high level, then it is very doable (and fun!).


I don't think that the hamburger button was ever meant to look like a button. It's supposed to be a place that you can drag and move like a grip. The interaction where you can tap it and a menu will appear is just their for user convenience.


I've always felt that it would be only a matter of time before computer vision would be able to solve the (re)CAPTCHA problem. Especially since digit classifiers are able to match the performance of humans.

One approach that I enjoyed seeing was the use of reverse captchas. Here you pose a problem that a computer can easily solve, but a human cannot. For instance, if you ask a simple question (1+1=?), but you place the question box off the screen so the user can't see it. A computer would be able to easily answer the question, but a human user would have no way of doing so.


I strongly think that expertsexchange is a poor name for a website.


Now you're just trying to make me look silly!


You may look silly but it works.


I love it. So simple. So creative!
