Check out Dustin McLean’s painstaking handiwork: According to PetaPixel: McLean used an entry-level Canon DSLR and an iPhone to capture the 67 shots in the trailer (some of which only appear on screen for half a second). Here’s the original alongside the remake:

Here is an admirably simple (and free) way host static Web sites via simple Dropbox folders: I found it incredibly simple to set up, though for my team there’s a major drawback in that we can’t share the Dropbox folder used to host the content. That’s not the end of the world, …

Horrible things can result from calling requestLayout() during a layout pass. DON'T DO THIS . The demo that I wrote to show why this is bad seems very contrived, but I have since run across application code that did nearly the exact same thing, explicitly calling requestLayout() during …

My wife and I recently rented a cute li'l Fiat on vacation. The car wasn't really big enough -- we had two suitcases plus a part-time guitar -- but how could we pass up something so darn cute? We had some good times with that Fiat. We laughed, we cried, we briefly went insane in the …

Just now I published the Images and replaced contents tables. By far the most important feature are gradients, and in general they’re tolerably well supported. Still, this was a complicated bit of research, because several mobile browsers displayed very weird behaviour, and because …

We all know UA sniffing sucks. But it's really common because there is a real need to know stuff about the browser on the other end when serving up content and resources. What if instead of just a UA string, we got information about the browser in the headers as well? Client-Hints aims to be …
