Totally forgot about recursion. The recursive steps for reflection and refraction aren't strictly speaking path tracing are they? I honestly don't know that distinction well. Multi threading was definitely a lot easier in Rust tha

Definitely, but I find it can also be massively difficult to figure out why something is wrong. It's not as clear as for example backend web programming. For example this is a progression of me implementing a camera that can move http

I too have been writing a raytracer in Rust[0] recently. I tend to use raytracers as my go to project when learning a new language, especially those that are OOP, since it touches a few different areas that are commo such as: + Protocols&#x

I live in the UK and this happens to me a lot. The combination of whitelisting third party javascript and using a VPN exiting through Finland seems like a brilliant recipe to trip up fraud detection.

Democratic in the sense that it's more democratic than previous publishing platforms because the barrier to entry is lower.

Repeating scandals are bad for Uber's business so exerting public pressure on them to shape up and improve on the culture that causes these scandals is good for both Uber and their investors. Since private recommendations and advice se

We need fewer sources of drama. As long as there are still sources of drama it serves a purpose.

VPNs are great. Free VPNs from god knows who, are not that great. A VPN is exactly the kind of thing you want to be paying a trustworthy entity for.

Bundler does proper dependency resolution using Molinillo[0] which is also used by CocoaPods[1]. This is definitely something that other package managers can stand to adopt. 0: https://github.com/CocoaPods/Molinillo 1:

This looks very similar to the new curl logo[0]. I guess that must be intentional as Curl and Mozilla are fairly closely tied. Daniel the lead developer of Curl works at Mozilla. In any case I like it 0: https://daniel.haxx.se&#x

Yeah that's a good point. I was referring more the general idea of enforcing style by parsing the code and reconstructing the source from the AST though. This is a better method than the linter approach that you get with eslint for exa

This looks really nice. One of my favourite things about Golang is the use of gofmt and the resulting consistency of all Go programs. The idea of parsing the code to AST representation and then printing it back as source is brilliant, all t

It depends on the level of certification done. If you are getting a regular SSL cert you only need to prove ownership of the domain, which can be automated easily and requires no human work. However EV(Extended Validation)[0] certificates i

As a user I use uBlock Origin to block all 3rd party JS by default. This protects me from loading ads, social widgets(trackers), and trackers. A lot of the web is completely broken when you don't run 3rd party JS so each site requires

I'm very pleased with how my own website[0] has turned out. It uses no JS and a very small amount of CSS. I think it has just enough styling to give it a distinct look and make the reading experience pleasant on all devices. Pages aver

Me too, I used to spend a fair amount of time looking at the tiny amount of traffic I got in GA. But just like you I decided the extra JS wasn't worth it and I'd rather have my website be completely void of JS even if that meant I

I've been using jk for quite some time now. It's definitely my favourite improvement over stock vim. You can sort of roll your fingers with your right hand index and middle finger which makes it super fast.

Yeah I probably have some confirmation bias having travelled mainly inside the Stockholm/Sörmland region and from Stockholm to Gothenburg. I was very surprised to see that Edinburgh to Glasgow is not electrified for example.
