Go look at the code! it's just a right click > inspect away.

And you'll see you just needs a single CSS property `backdrop-filter: blur(8px);` to achieve this effect nowadays =)


To do it properly, you need a bit more than just `backdrop-filter: blur(8px)`; see <https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/backdrop-filter/#the-issue-2> for a clear demonstration of the problem, and the rest of that article for the solution (with further relevant details and discussion in <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42302907>; in this particular case, the backdrop blur needs to be able to access 15px more of the backdrop than it can unless you go out of your way to give it that).

From this new vector format it should be simpler now to restore the original colors envisioned by Jef Raskin


After the events of 9/11, the skies were empty for a few days

> During the three-day commercial flight hiatus, when the artificial clouds known as contrails all but disappeared, the variations in high and low temperatures increased by 1.1 degrees Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit) each day, said meteorological researchers.

In France I've had a static IP for years.

The french internet provider free.fr used to do this by default. I'm using another one nowadays which also let me have a static IP https://assistance.free.fr/articles/disposer-dune-adresse-ip...




^shows an outline of the real france overlaid with the shape it would have when 'defined' by train times. Nice map!

Curious about that URL, why does it proxy the content at https://www.isoul.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/scnf-time-d... ?


The 3d rendering is purely CSS based and not webgl in a canvas.


Very impressive (even if not the whole editor is CSS as I'd thought).


A nice and well done puzzle, congrats =)

You could maybe add some kind of visual validation when the proposition entered does not equals the expected amount.

Maybe adding the "= 23" at the end of the (current) line could be a good visual clue that the equation is supposed to validate this.


> The performance feels a lot better than my MacBook Pro 16”, which is only a year old and about 3x the price.

Last sentence of the first paragraph


I was issued the 16" last gen Intel MacBook pro at last job (new job I'm back on whatever I want) and it was a seriously underwhelming experience for 3K's worth of hardware, screen was good, touchpad was sublime -everything else was crap.

Battery life was mediocre (worse still if you actually use it), it got ridiculously hot under load, the fans where really loud and pitched at a frequency it was hard to ignore - I'd have put it down to a bad unit but everyone else with the same model had the same issues.

It was fine but for double good thinkpad money it wasn't fine enough.

I was glad to hand it back, new place doesn't care what I run so I'm back on Fedora on a fast desktop and I'm happy again, I still have a work issued macbook pro but it sits on a shelf behind me until I need to test something.


The most mind-blowing part of the 16-inch MacBook Pros are really the speakers, which are really nice for laptop speakers. However, that's also quite sad that it's the highlight.


> which is only a year old and about 3x the price.

Rich people problem.
