Texaco Towers was an Apple office above a Texaco gas station: https://www.folklore.org/Texaco_Towers.html
mindhunter | 9 months ago | on: Lottie is an open format for animated vector graphics
While MP4s don't support transparency, both HEVC and VP9 do and their support is very good these days. I just recently used these formats to add a complex After Effects Animation to a website. It's a bit of extra work to encode two videos instead of just one but the result is great. I used this tutorial: https://rotato.app/blog/transparent-videos-for-the-web

Do you also cache or proxy the thumbnail? Google can also track them when hotlinking it.

If he’d run the dark mode JavaScript in the head and control the style through a css class, it would not flash.

Exceptionally quick lookups: alt + space and Dash is there with the search focused. I search and press alt + tab or esc to get back into my editor.
mindhunter | 3 years ago | on: Tower 9 for Mac is here
I recently made the leap in the opposite direction: after being asked to pay 59€ to continue using the app I downloaded Tower 2. So far I'm not missing anything they introduced since then. I'm actually happy about the old app icon.
When the warning that the license is running out popped up some time ago I expected the app to still work. Just that I won't get any new updates (like Sketch). But no: it just stops working and demands more money. Pew....

There are more German ones: the last one in is_child_exploitation and nazi stuff in is_hateful.

https://twitter.com/bdc was one of the first designing developers there. One of the best of his kind!

I share the love for hand-made svg. But it has its limits when graphics need complexity.
In those cases I use https://github.com/RazrFalcon/svgcleaner-gui to clean up the svg file after export.

you're missing a lot if you're into web design. of course, content is king and google fucked up big times by not having a proper fallback. but that parallax scrolling is the best I've seen so far https://www.google.com/ideas/products/digital-attack-map/
mindhunter | 11 years ago | on: Dimensions – Measure everything you see in the browser
It's picking up everything visible, not just images.

I developed it on a mbp 13", just not the retina version. Someone reported the bug that it doesn't work when the browser is zoomed. May that be the case for you?
mindhunter | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you keep track of billable hours?
I use timeEdition http://www.timeedition.com/en/features/screenshots.html. Open Source, nice and simple.

CSS3's flex attribute solves that. It's the holy grail for modern web-interface-development.
Vertical center text:
.vertical-text { display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; }
(add ´align-items: center´for horizontal center)

How I hoped this to be an announcement for a public code reading. Like a author reading a chapter of his book, Jeremy reading and discussing a part of the coffeescript source.
mindhunter | 13 years ago | on: Buildy, a real-time HTML5 building game - come build in our biggest world yet
Reminds me of Paul Bakaus' Aves Gaming Engine (also canvas based and isometric view).
He was very active documenting his research on it's performance: http://paulbakaus.com/2010/07/19/why-canvas-is-not-an-obviou...
mindhunter | 13 years ago | on: Stopwatch with only CSS3 - No javascript
This javascript code doesn't add any functionality to the demo, so no – this demo does not use Javascript.
mindhunter | 14 years ago | on: CSS Hat translates Photoshop layer styles to CSS3
why '90deg'? using no direction, and otherwise 'to bottom' etc. for the non-prefixed and 'top', 'left' etc. for the prefixed gradients seems easier to understand.
