    Centering things is a graphic design problem, not a computer science problem.

        Is not always this simple though. If the window has yet to be spawned in some languages the width will be unavailable, until after. Sometimes the window can be seen before it moves to the center which is a bit jarring.

      That’s a pretty good summary of the article actually.

      The design is bad because the people who made the tools are doing a bad job.

    That’s exactly why people love web programming so much. There’s always a challenge.

    Ha, I swear, this must be sarcasm.

    Great article nonetheless!

      Haha yeah, I get what you mean. I think the author might mean “people who actively choose to do primarily web programming”, and isn’t being sarcastic. It’s baffling to me too, but I am glad that this subsection of odd challenge seekers exist, even if I can’t fathom people genuinely loving web programming.

    The dark mode on this site… Hardest I’ve laughed in a while. A+ trolling

    Edit: only works on desktop by the looks

      It seemed pretty clear to me that the article states that css is doing it’s job and it’s actually fonts that are the problem

        Meanwhile in reality css totally confounds the well paid experts in c# and the whole world suffers.

        But yea fonts…

      No. It’s a joke. Proper computer science is not about this level of computer programming. Computer science is more a field of mathematics that studies the computability of things. Like making the traveling salesman problem more efficient. Or how to most efficiently determine if a giant number is prime. Or how to scramble a message such that it is unduly difficult to unscramble without a key factor.
