Since I'm aware of material design, I find myself constantly looking for the animations and trying to evaluate how they work on me, which kind of defeats the purpose. I keep seeing those circles everywhere! I think it's the right

Don't you have to build every package from source with Gentoo? I can see where that would be useful, but isn't it really time-consuming (or punishing, if you prefer that word)?

You could probably split the song into frames, detect the BPM of each frame, and plot the changes in BPM over time. This sort of thing would be pretty for pre-rendering metadata about the tempo, which could be useful in DJ software, or big

Thanks, fluxible looks like it might be the best isomorphic solution available right now, and the fromJS() and toJS() functions are what I would need. I guess I was initially hoping to use immutable data for the performance benefit; being a

"dragging windows to the sides of your desktop will auto-fill that side of the screen, saving time spent on re-sizing windows to fill unused space." I've gotten so used to this feature from Windows and various Linux desktops,

I really like the Om/Omniscient model of using immutable data to represent application state - deciding whether or not to rerender a component and all of its subcomponents only requires comparing a hash. However, for the app I'm w

I know what you mean - I installed arch a month or two ago, and the hardest thing for me was setting up the boot partition (I wanted to dual-boot the laptop with windows). My familiarity with grub and the UEFI boot-process was really limite

Or maybe you can jam an SSD in your ear and use it as swap space?

I'm really impressed with the visual design, and curious about what's being used to generate the CSS. I'm also wondering, are there any difficulties that arise when working with canvas and svg using just Om, or in plain React

by BFay 11y ago
I think the bigger appeal of React isn't the "performance." It's the fact that you can reason about your app as if you are re-rendering the entire application with every change in state. That way you never have to think

I think you really nailed that - OSC is a useful protocol, and it's definitely been used important in computer music (Supercollider for example uses OSC as the protocol for messages from the language to the server). But the beautiful t

Cool, I wanted to use Clojure on the Raspberry Pi, but the startup time is very slow, due more to loading the core Clojure libraries than the JVM. It makes writing a Clojure web server really impractical on the Pi. I considered using clojur

I agree that using one technique for an infinite world is probably going to get boring pretty quickly, and you can probably get more leverage out of a finite world. But even with an infinite landscape, I think you could improve the variety

You actually can customize the size of the dock, and have it set up to hide/show based on mouse position or keyboard shortcuts. There's a lot of options if you install "unity-tweak-tool" There are also some nice alternat

The most exciting thing I noticed playing around with the tech demo is that in the developer javascript console, Ctrl+U clears the line and Ctrl+L clears the screen (just like in a bash terminal). The developer console is actually stripped

I was expecting dogescript: https://dogescript.com/ Love the fake O'Reilly book and "NOT'REALLY®" joke.

I look forward to trying it! RhythmBox is okay, but there's something about the window behavior that bothers me - IIRC the application still plays in the background when I hit the close button, it always throws me off.

Cool, I never knew there was a name for that. Watching lost, I would always know a flashback was coming up when I started to hear the ambient noise of the next scene. (Or maybe there was a special flashback sound effect? Some kind of swoosh

If you think about it, speed of sound is about 340.29 meters per second... also 0.34029 meters per millisecond... also 1.11644 feet per millisecond. So 5ms vs 10ms latency is like the difference between having your amp 5 feet or 10 feet awa

Pulseaudio has gotten a really bad rep, and I think there was at time where it was legitimately awful, but I think it's better than it was. On mainstream distros with pulseaudio like Fedora or Ubuntu, audio just works, when you don&#x2

The different possible origins of this phrase are interesting. The article mentions a couple, and there's some in the comments here. I've always seen it as I'm saying "no" to alleviate any doubt the other person had

Does this offer any benefits over building coroutine functions with generators? The "co" library (and probably some others) do this. https://github.com/tj/co It seems mostly like a syntactical difference to m

That's how I feel - the tone of this writing irks me a bit. I don't want to detract at all from the work these authors did, I like it a lot. But the text here is fluffy and frankly somewhat narcissistic. Lejaren Hiller showed that

Sound is such an annoying thing to troubleshoot on linux. I'm pretty happy with the way Pulseaudio handles on the mainstream distros, but sometimes I do more intensive audio work where I need to use Jack and the configuration can get c

Ah, I guess you're right. I'm considering buying an Odroid, maybe startup will be a bit faster (hopefully it's not this bad for all ARM devices)

There's some mention of clojure being used as a scripting language here that can be invoked with a shebang - does anybody know if the way this is done is any different (performance-wise) than compiling a leiningen project to an uberjar

I welcome the functional features, but I have to agree that these specific examples are ugly compared to the more familiar alternatives. Maybe this will look more readable after getting used to it, but I'd much rather be looking at Clo

Do you have any recommendations for a good linear algebra course/book? I've studied some DSP coming from a pretty limited math background (High School + 2 years college calculus) Linear algebra is one of many topics that's ke
