Observation on tech – passwords and especially Facebook password
Tech goes forward in waves. Some of the ideas of what we see today implemented in our tools, was on someone’s sketchboard in 1980s. Computer graphics was theoretically very powerful and intricately designed, but electronics manufacturing methods for making equivalently superb GPUs was not yet there. GPUs nowadays do photorealistic rendering of computer generated imagery: […]

Pong classic game in JavaScript
The Pong is a legendary game. I found an excellent Pong version on Codepen. And then got into tweaking the code, bit by bit. The change log so far: Spacebar key pauses the game, freezing the ball.
