Hi zorkw4rg. Thanks for having a look at the tutorials. What makes the vertex shader not readable in your opinion? If you substitute the different values gl_VertexID can take (0,1,2), it's not hard to calculate the values of gl_Positio

Maybe I'll write a Haskell tutorial...

One of my goals is to reuse parts of the engine for future projects where hardware acceleration might be used.

During college, I used to play WoW. I think my biological clock was messed up because of it, not because that was my natural biological rhythm. Also, because of the amount of hours I put into WoW, I did not have many hours left to study, af

People should be told they are different, and to embrace their strengths and weaknesses, not that they are handicapped. In the end we agree on the solution, I'm just saying that explicitly labeling the weakness can be harmful. It can a

You should never be too hard on yourself, but putting labels can also be dangerous, as people often use it as an excuse to not work towards improving themselves.

I think the solution to most problems in the economy is to limit how big companies can get.

This is correct. Sample size should be dependent on the strength of the effect. As a rule of thumb though, a sample of 50 people is very little. If physics used these kind of sample sizes and confidence levels, we would have discovered mult

I had a look at this review on bipolar disorder, https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.e8508 . According to a study referenced in it, 68 randomized trials where used to determine the effect of different drugs compared to placeb

Most recent studies in psychiatry and social sciences that I have read, even those published in Nature, use sample sizes of around 50 people, which should be considered insufficient. Instead they use various cooked up formulas for correctin

I think the most important is to practice. If you program a lot, you will eventually be able to do it faster. Your brain will develop a library of common patterns you will be able to recognize and quickly implement. You will also have to ov

I think what you're saying might be true for "newer" sciences, but other fields, like physics, are stuck in older research models and only recently have been starting to warm up to the idea of sharing (but still very cautious

The problem stems mostly from the way research funding works, which promotes a competitive stance instead of a collaborative one; scientists try to publish to the highest impact factor journals possible and often hide important details so t
