- nerdponx 9y agoI hate these text-on-picture-with-music videos. Even the robot-voice videos are better. I know it's using the Super Mario music, but still. It's like a blog post where you can't copy or paste anything, can't scroll back and forth, can't be cached or indexed, etc.
- okdana 9y agoHe has some videos that are commentated by voice, but for some reason he finds doing the recordings very stressful, so most of his content is unfortunately on his 'uncommentated' channel. I agree it would be nice to have the voice-overs
- katastic 9y agoGuy did it for free man. Give him a little slack. He's not even a programmer. He does Mario speed runs. He didn't post his video here, someone else did. And I absolutely disagree with the "Robot voice would be better." That's horrific.
- chillingeffect 9y agoi don't think he's picking on the authors themselves but on the broader problem: How to make decent auto-play presentations on the web. most of us hate it when scrolling gets broken. many of us like to simply watch a lecture go by with interaction, e.g. for deeper contemplation. many of us would like to hear the lecture. stuffing it into a video is tradeoff. this is just a typical problem of a highly-mediated era: we have the core information that can be rendered or published across numerous formats: book, blog post, tweets, video, google slide presentation, etc., etc. How to deliver the information to all formats, to be everything to everyone?
- matt_wulfeck 9y agoA video game demonstration really helps understand how the coarseness of floats can introduce all kinds of strange bugs.
- laythea 9y agoGreat link thanks. Best floating point essential concept video I have seen.
