Weird/forced scrolling on FF desktop as well.

Pagemaker was a workhorse back in the 90s.


15 years ago... They had just released a remake in 2008 for the Xbox, so the IP was certainly fresh in their minds.

Did they eventually drop the threat or did something else happen?


I removed my app from the US App Store and all was good.


There are dedicated turnkey vendors these days, so there's no need to get elaborate. All you need is a U of rack or two and enough cash.

It feels to me like everyone is holding their breath to see how the wholesale "AI can replace people" notion pans out. Whether it proves true or not, betting on the wrong result will hit hard so few want to go all in (outside of the companies that produce the tech itself). If there's anything "AI" has been able to ship at scale, it's uncertainty.


AI is absolutely already replacing people. No idea if it will replace everyone, but that doesn't really matter, does it?


Could be just plain alphabetical. There's a selector for which color name list to use/examine on the bottom of the visualization. There's also a selector for which color space model to use.


Cool project!


Now the problem becomes mobile browsers... (hover vs. tap, tiny resolutions, differences in form controls, sometimes crippled features that work fine in a "pc" based browser, fluid layout choices, float issues)

There will always be madness.

[edit] Took me a few to find this link again. Do compatibility charts like this look familiar? http://www.quirksmode.org/m/css.html


What have you needed out of ANSI SQL that is a gap in its Turing Completeness? Totally serious. A great many things can be dismissed as not being Turing Complete, so please provide us with some examples of why this is bad in ANSI SQL.


I did not mean that ANSI SQL was bad. However, by not being turning complete it has fundamental limitations that limit it from expressing certain logic (as you might need to do in a stored procedure). This frequently means that you must use proprietary extensions to SQL (such as PL/SQL) to accomplish these tasks.

My interpretation of the parent post was that it was a response to a comment about vendor lock in. I was only trying to point out that it is not always possible to ensure compatibility between databases by writing strict ANSI SQL.


These words make me close tab for the site I'm looking at right away: "Click to launch site". I came to your website... shouldn't it have launched already? Oh it's not a website - it's a multimedia presentation? Great. That's not what I came to your "website" for. No thanks.

(Though I have to admit, there was a time when I actively looked for those sites. I made some good money going to restaurants and other small businesses around town offering to convert their sites from un-editable flash to a simple, skin-able CMS I had whipped up. They were always skeptical until I said "never pay for changing text or prices on your site again". After that, they were my customer and no longer the customer of the wannabe-techno-hipster that sold them the original contract for site and "updates".)
