I used the Philips Baristina Milk Frother for two weeks and found it produced consistently thick foam, even from non-dairy milks — but it’s too thick for latte art
Philips' attractive milk frother is extremely simple to use and does an excellent job of foaming milk, but there's just one texture and it's rather thick. <img src='https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/dnVfkmGWYTbf3Ryb6Q7zuY-1280-80.jpg' />

I Put the Same Mandelbrot Kernel on the CPU and the GPU — and Watched float32 CrackOne rendering loop, two implementations: vanilla JavaScript on the main thread, and the same loop in a GLSL fragment shader. At shallow zoom the GPU is 30–100× faster. Zoom past a certain scale and the GPU renders a visibly different — and wrong — image. This is that scale.📦 GitHub: https://github.com/sen-ltd/webgl-mandelbrot🧮 Demo: https://sen.ltd/portfolio/webgl-mandelbrot/That screenshot is the demo's flo

ReactJs Performance ~ Virtualization for Large Lists~

It has plenty going for it, with one of its sta
Claude Code Opus 4.7 keeps checking on malware
So during development, at every task I start, I see a line like this:`Own bug file — not malware.`It seems that it's obsessively checking if it's working on malware production.In another situation where I was working on a parser of a HTML document with JS, it refused because it believed that I was bypassing security measurements.I believe AI has to be supportive in the work that I'm doing. When it's obsessively checking me if I am doing anything wrong or abusing the system, I

Next.js gives you the tools to build it right.” Key TakeawaysNext.js provides multiple data fetching strategies depending on performance and freshness needs.SSR fetches data on every request and is best for dynamic content.SSG generates pages at build time, making it extremely fast.ISR updates static pages after deployment without full rebuilds.RSC (React Server Components) is the modern default in App Router.Caching in Next.js is control
