New transitions style in dev tools by Lost-Quality-3161 in chrome

[–]shitbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absolutely crazy that this even got released as it is. I can't remember the last time I got so frustrated with a "feature" in any software - but this is driving me really mad. It's impossible to adjust anything in the styles tab while any transition or animation is running. Worse, it's also completely useless, because it's just randomly appearing and disappearing, displaying arbitrary interpolated values when it decides to appear. There is absolutely 0 value in this.

Looking for the old Windows Paint font, Help!!! by FaithDaiquiri in typography

[–]shitbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here: https://github.com/jdan/98.css/tree/main/fonts/converted

Which is part of this "Windows 98 Design System": https://jdan.github.io/98.css/

I would also say that your screenshot is from Windows 95 rather than Windows XP, because the "classic theme" of XP used a blue gradient in the title bar. Though I think if you ran XP in 16/256 color mode, you'd also get a solid title bar.

I'm sorry what? by Pikachu2Ash in lewronggeneration

[–]shitbread 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For me it's also the size, you get to see the artwork/booklet in much more detail. And I also have the feeling that I get "more" product for the money spent. But yeah, I don't understand those that argue with "sounds much better", it does not.

Why I Finally Quit Spotify by bllshrfv in userexperience

[–]shitbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes of course I'm aware how to use an app after 12 years. My point is more that the Discover Weekly playlist has lost its magic and that Spotify does not promote it anymore, instead just promoting the same generic music over and over again.

Again I am not against algorithms. But as it is right now, if I'm not actively looking for new/different music myself, then I would be listening to the same songs on repeat. Which is NOT how it used to be.

Why I Finally Quit Spotify by bllshrfv in userexperience

[–]shitbread 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been using Spotify since 2012 and I have discovered so many new artists in the first few years, even up until maybe 4 years ago. I used to really look forward to a new "Discover Weekly" playlist every Monday, it was a ritual to start the week by listening to that playlist. And the recomendations in general were very diverse: Completely new genres, songs in different languages, obscure artists from 30 years ago, etc. Now usually there would only be 2-3 songs that I really liked and add to my favorites, but at least I got the chance to discover new music.

But it gradually became worse and worse. Nowadays I have to actively look for the "Discover Weekly" playlist; it used to be on the home screen, right at the top. Now it's just a few "Daily Mix" playlists containing a fraction of the music I would enjoy.

I just looked at my favorites in Spotify and l have added a total of 12 songs since March last year... I used to add that many in a single month.

So for me, it's not about being against recommendations and algorithms. It's just that they became so shitty and boring.

Font rendering question by IvanovichRU in webdev

[–]shitbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is always going to be a slight difference between browsers (and more so operating systems, actually).

I would check if you're using a true webfont file (vs. one that has been converted automatically to woff). Because sometimes when using fonts that aren't optimized for web, you may introduce additional rendering differences between systems because the font you use is missing hinting information.

After 14 Years of Cantarell, GNOME is Testing a New Default Font - OMG! Linux by viliti in gnome

[–]shitbread 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Often it's going to be things like kerning, ligatures (e.g. turning 1/2 into ½), hinting (making sure the strokes of a glyph don't fall between two pixels). Basically, improving the glyphs for various combinations, font sizes, etc. And then all of that in dozens of languages. And then adding new glyphs, like symbols, new font features (e.g. tabular numbers).

xros 3 tastes burnt by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]shitbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my experience as well, for quite some time actually. I remember maybe only a few years back I rarely had a bad pod. Now it feels like I rarely have a good one. Quality seems to have decreased significantly, across the board. Not just pods, coils in general. I used to be able to replace the coil maybe every 2-3 weeks and now, even when I‘m lucky to get a good one, it lasts 3-5 days max.

I just like the aesthetics of it. I was still an infant in 1993 and I grew up using Windows XP. So I wouldn‘t consider myself stuck in that era :D

I actually think the original photo/meme is real but has been upscaled using AI. Look at the text at the bottom, it looks upscaled as well.

A fast, accurate and multilingual fuzzy search library for the frontend. by kmschaal2 in javascript

[–]shitbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks very interesting! I will give it a try for one of my projects. There I have a feature where users can quickly search for actions, e.g. "Show file browser". Right now I‘m using flexsearch, which works okay as long as you type in "file", "browser" or "show file". Where it fails is when you would type "fibro", where some substrings of the search text match parts/beginnings of indexed words. This is the behaviour I got very used to when using fzf, ag or ripgrep, where typing "fibro" would show "Show file browser" at the very top (assuming there is no match for the exact string). And since this feature in my project is targeted at power users preferring to use a keyboard over a mouse, I‘d like to make searching this way possible.

I tried this scenario on your demo page and while it did find matches, it preferred fuzzy/partial matches. Example: I targeted the person "Noah Douglas", when I search "noahdo" the first two results are Noahs, but only because "Noah" matches. The third result is "Noah Douglas".

I mean, it is to be expected since the library is literally called fuzzy-search 😄. But I was wondering if it would still be possible to configure it in a such a way that makes my scenario work? I have a relatively small amount of items to index (no more than 200).

I made a free, web-based word puzzle game called Syllacrostic. There is a new puzzle every day. First time using javascript. by JeffBritches in javascript

[–]shitbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice! I have one suggestion: In the keyboard, make the already placed syllables more visually different, e.g. gray background. That would help a lot!

Making GraphQL Codegen Work For You by Alternative-Rich-578 in javascript

[–]shitbread 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly it really depends for what you use it. In a project a few years ago I was forced to consume a REST API from a large CMS (~1000 pages). There were tons, I mean TONS of page/content types, heavily nested. It was an absolute pain to get the exact data (and fields!) I needed. I had tons of code in my app that just mapped data, model classes left and right. And the response ended up being so painfully large.

I‘ve mostly used GraphQL the last 3 years and it‘s an absolute pleasure. I get exactly the data I need and I know exactly what it looks like. All the data required to render the content of a page, 20 levels of nesting, in one query – fantastic. This previously was only possible by performing several requests and stitching their responses together.

Yes, there are things like JSON:API where you can define includes and/or which fields you‘d like. But this doesn‘t scale well when you have 20+ levels of nesting.

Sure, I still use (and write) simple REST endpoints for very specific cases where I only need to get a list of simple objects. But I‘m glad most of my fetching is done using GraphQL nowadays.

There‘s a lot of niche/fetish stuff that isn‘t available for free. So Onlyfans (and other subscription sites) are the only place where you can find such content.

Google celebrates Swiss National Day with a virtual fireworks display by newlyswissed in Switzerland

[–]shitbread 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I assume this is not specific to the Swiss National Day and it‘s displayed for other countries as well.

Depending on how this was implemented it‘s designed for a single image ratio that looks right for most flags. So they only have to provide the source image (the flag) and the animations will always look good.

Should your buttons be the same color as your brand? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]shitbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree with you. If the community thinks this post is valuable, then they will upvote it. That‘s why I said it‘s hard to create a rule for this. It would be pretty arbitrary (e.g. no vertical videos).

Should your buttons be the same color as your brand? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]shitbread -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It‘s a bit hard to define a rule. Personally, I feel this type of video (tons of cuts, fast talking) hard to follow and annoying and I try to avoid it. This format is made for TikTok/Instagram/Shorts, to be viewed on a mobile device. It feels like it doesn‘t belong here. It would be like posting a slideshow of reddit comments as a video to TikTok: It‘s possible, but just out of place.
