Scroll snapping, state queries, monster hunter, and gamification

In this (long) part of the customizable select series, it’s all about gamification. In this article, I’d like to highlight one of my demos, where I aimed to recreate a piece of UI found in the Monster Hunter games. To re-create this behavior, I had to think in terms of keyboard navigation first. This demo requires quite a lot of CSS, as well as some scripting, and in the end, I do want to highlight some accessibility concerns.

I was surprised by how simple an allocator is

Table of Contents Introduction Recently I was looking at an issue on mimalloc, a "state-of-the-art" memory allocator developed by Microsoft. The issue was quite simple, developers wanted a way to preallocate a piece of memory and use it as mimalloc's heap. Seeing that mimalloc does not offer this feature, I thought: "how hard can it be to write a memory allocator to manage a preallocated region?". The answer to this question is: "given enough time, even a monkey with a typewriter can write

We’ve had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s—only nobody knew

A 146,000-year-old skull from Harbin, China, belongs to a Denisovan, according to a recent study of proteins preserved inside the ancient bone. The paleoanthropologists who studied the Harbin skull in 2021 declared it a new (to us) species, Homo longi. But the Harbin skull still contains enough of its original proteins to tell a different story: A few of them matched specific proteins from Denisovan bones and teeth, as encoded in Denisovan DNA.
