  1. You know the trope about "when you're in the know about something, you see every example of that something which is bad, and you feel bad"?

    Like "teach someone typography, and they will examples of it done wrong every day", that sort of thing.

    Well, one of the things I have knowledge about and experience with is cinematography - film & video. And here's one I run into regularly.

    I watch an online video.

    On my 16:10 monitor.

    The browser letterboxes it into a 16:9 area of the screen.

    It's some bloody stupid video site with vertical video, so it's 1:2 (or even worse), pillarboxed into the browser viewport.

    And then the video maker is commenting about another video, so it's a 16:9 letterboxed into a tiny section of the pillarboxed video, with enormous borders on the top and bottom.

    This hurts my head, even without considering that it results in trying to watch a video that takes up about 5% of the screen.

  8. For decades I am bullied for pointing out people's wrong #aspectratio settings.

    They don't even UNDERSTAND what's wrong in stretching the first seasons of X-Files to all corners of their 16:9 smarty pants TV. They just don't SEE it.

    So nowadays I just trick them out of the room, fix their settings and appreciate their nice TV when they return with my coffee.

  9. #MortalKombat uses the same wrong #aspectratio as the original #Atari Karate cartridge from Froggo Games.

    And you KNOW it!

  13. Differentiating between shear walls and columns is crucial in structural design, especially when their geometries overlap. While both elements transfer loads, their behavior under stress, reinforcement requirements, and design criteria vary significantly. #ShearWall #Structuralengineering #ColumnDesign #AspectRatio

  14. Max props to @scottjehl whose 2023 article (about his 2023 #Firefox contribution!) inspired my own experiments in variable #aspectRatio, #HLS, (mostly) vanilla #HTML web #video

    This was fun:

  15. Always when I see YouTube videos about #cinematography, #aspectratio and how #Cinemascope / #widescreen is a "problem" for framing just the face of a person, because of all the "empty dead room", I just wish that these dudes would watch "The Ipcress File" at some point ...

    Pretty sure I've posted about this before, but a quick search at the morning hours didn't find it, plus I saw someone ask about it yet again¹, so... fixed aspect-ratio box within variable size container!

  17. Черт тебя возьми, CSS. Часть 3

    Привет, Хабр. Я продолжаю делиться «косяками» CSS, которые могут сбить нас с толку. Мне не нравится, что многие плюются от него. Конечно, не без оснований. Я их понимаю, потому что тоже плевался. Только мне нравится CSS. Хоть и потратил множество часов на изучение неочевидных моментов, я не хочу, чтобы у языка была слава «костыля». Подумав, как помочь другим меньше мучиться, я собираю и объясняю неочевидности CSS. Сегодня мы рассмотрим: Нюансы работы синтаксиса of S для псевдо-класса :nth-child() ; Случаи использования свойства aspect-ratio неожиданно ломающие вёрстку; Различия между псевдо-классом lang() и селектором по атрибуту [lang=""] . Давайте посмотрим, что я вам подготовил.
