I'm making a video game, and I want to map a joystick position to a rotation (of a sword). I have a set of keyframes for certain joystick positions, and I want to interpolate between the three nearest ones to create a continuous functi

This is awesome. I was looking for a solution for averaging multiple rotations, and I found https://mathweb.ucsd.edu/~sbuss/ResearchWeb/spheremean/paper... This method looks a lot easier than that paper, at l

The college in question is Lincoln College. This is somewhat confusing because there is a college called Illinois College. Because of this news, they are accepting transfers from Lincoln for all students in good academic standing: https:&#

I thought this feature was built in, but maybe not? All I can find is https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212842 which seems to be on a per-app basis.

A bit off topic, but I'd caution against using business tactics in chess. > While the opportunities Rockefeller capitalized on are unlikely to come about again, they show how chess strategies can translate into business acumen. Indi

I'd recommend Megalobox 2: Nomad as a rare gem, much more so than its first season. It takes a classic underdog story then asks: What happens after the hero wins? It's an adult story. A story of homelessness, of community; of addi

Case in point: one of the fonts mentioned, recursive, has been on HN before (with 108 comments), but I only found one comment that explicitly talks about this property, and it doesn't do so by name. https://news.ycombinator.

You can already put CSS in an SVG favicon. That's one way to adapt a favicon to a user's native dark mode/light mode preference.

Macs vibrate the touchpad when you click. There's no hinge. It's the best solution I've used so far, and it's unique to apple as long as it remains patented (US 8,633,916).

If I could type that fast, I would immediately try to use the keyboard to think on screen, like thinking out loud (or subvocalizing). Writing as I think is like climbing with a rope. I don't get mental superpowers, but I do have an eas

After hearing about pol.is[0] on HN, I've wondered about a system that allows or even encourages downvotes (with all vote counts hidden), but doesn't penalize content for being downvoted. Then downvoting to disagree becomes okay.

Here's a different example: Super Smash Bros Melee is almost 20 years old and still sees competitive play. There's a technique in the game called pivoting, which is a one-frame input used to unlock more movement options. It's

Yes, you would need to fix the pixels to an initial or average value. I remember Nintendo didn't do this a couple years ago, accidentally leaking the name of a new game mode [1] for Smash Ultimate. [1] https://twitter.com&#x

The "exploration and backtracking" you mention originally is the brute force method of solving sudoku by computer: recursive backtracking. If you want an example of sticking points, I'd recommend the Robin Hood sudoku: https

Speaking of great-looking puzzles, this youtube channel covered a visually stunning pi day sudoku some time ago. As you said, it uses extra constraints to reduce connectivity, but still, I find it amazing that the digits of pi can fit so we

I think it's a tradeoff between resources and efficiency. The longer the race, the more you need to manage your air. Breathing more means a bit more drag, but also more energy to finish the race. Which option is better for you depends

This is called galloping (might have other names too). In general, freestyle has two extremes: shoulder driven and hip-driven. Shoulder driven freestyle is faster but less efficient, and hip-driven is slower but more efficient. Galloping al
