Passion per se not necessarily implicates becoming a better developer. Passion or obsession have their own side effects such as NIH, rock star syndrome, lack of social life, arrogance and blaming others on own errors, being overly competiti

Huh, one day I forked a part of RE:DOM called nodom[1], to use it in my library for rendering D3 charts in the background worker. I'd been extending nodom, and finally got working D3 in worker[2], sorry the pun. As I recall, nodom was

Darkplaces engine[1] had introduced lots of features including photon mapping back in 2011, but it was slow as I remember. Photon mapping is kind of a predecessor of path tracing[2]. [1] https://icculus.org/twilight/dar

Thant's an interesting observation, possibly can be solved with a signed version file, which is released daily. Signing of (datetime, version, package_image_hash) can be done with CI daily or hourly and probably way faster than encrypt

Oracle's practiced the same policy with VirtualBox distributions and that's been fine because they signed packages. VideoLAN signs their packages too. It seems to be a common practice for a highly loaded services to outsource as m

Wanna share my experience, the TL;DR is that if you feel well you shouldn't expose yourself to the sun or use parasol or sunscreen, because only narrow UV spectrum is good, and sun doesn't care. I've had a severe form of psor

You are correct, Tinder is designed keep you on hook, sustain finger-swiping reflex, and all that. But I've been pondering from a zoomed-out, conspiracy-ish perspective. If FB merges with dating apps, I bet there will be no premium acc

Yikes! There's only hope they'll add some paid service where I can find love and hunt deer with a crossbow in special national park, wild way. Just like those two domains, wild and artificial, from Huxley's Brave New World.

If a giant like Facebook had bought Match Group and Tinder, would it be possible for it to manipulate dating and thus breeding people up to statistically significant scale? I feel it like being "@" in somebody's Dwarf Fortres

Visual representation for code has its own niches for certain. The most newfangled thingy I've encountered is Ballerina[1], it's kind of text <-> diagram convertible code, cloud-oriented. Looks cool; there are some codes on

Correct me if I'm wrong, but using window.addEventListener("resize", () => (), 200) is no good, you probably should consider window.requestAnimationFrame() and debouncing. Otherwise, your library will drain battery juice,

I tried to make something similar, but more visual, specifically for Python (draft)[1]. Composability is what matters here, when you start to combine these par/async things into big programs, it can become a mess to reason about. [1]

Could that tech of re-engineering T-cells be a step to cure psoriasis? AFAIK psoriasis is caused by T-cells erroneously targeted to kill epidermis.

While some folks here are joking about mirroring text, there's a sane point behind that. There's an ancient Greeks' way to read text more effectively called Boustrophedon. The idea is that the text lines are interleaved with
