Ah, so since Scala Native is not built on the JVM you can't just take a pre-existing Java library and make it interop. You need it to be real Scala. The only options then are to use a convertor or manually port the library from Java to

Play uses it specifically for in it’s JSON module; you can define readers and writers that allow you to parse the structure of a JSON object. To avoid having to be very explicit, you can define a case class that directly mirrors the structu

You're talking about Play Framework, I assume. They did some fancy work with Macros (i.e. Scala Reflection) which causes a lot of headaches for Scala.js. The reality is most of the reflection it does is nice but not necessary and I rea

This is exciting but I've been burned in the past. Your commit graph seems to show you're serious so I hope you stick with it. Will probably have more questions after I browse through the code but some basics: Q: How much of the c

This makes a lot of sense in OpenGL (with a Geometry Shader) but in something like Metal I'm not sure you would get a lot of efficiency gains due to the way the command encoder manages state where each encoder would be a separate targe

Curious; have they made any statements on their versioning? I've seen mature projects years in development that are still 0 for major and in the teens for the minor version. Despite breaking changes Swift is now a 3.0 project?

Why the downvote? Everything I stated is factually accurate.

From that link: "Major network service providers, including major cellular carriers in the the United States, are actively promoting and deploying IPv6."

Think game engines or legacy C++ projects there were ported to the platform and already have their own network implementation.

That's incorrect. Check out figure 10-3 here: http://j.mp/1NkSBaF If your App does not support IPv6 on the official rollout then you will no longer have network connectivity. If you use native platform functions you&#x

This can end up being quite awkward. You end up being the 'belle of the ball' and end up having to weed through a _lot_ of, well, not so great ideas. Remember when everyone had their own idea about the 'uber of x'? That.

Is there a way to download content using this? There is a zip I'm trying to get from a particular site and it keeps failing due to some kind of download cap. Using --continue with wget doesn't work (I'm guessing they turned i

I think his conclusion is valid; compilers can now handle register assignment and other boilerplate pretty well (Metal does this superbly and SPIR-V seems very good). My only qualm is that he treats these aspects that he deems outdated as u

These are impossible to get and the people who are getting them are using them for stuff like this? No disrespect to Stephen but I'd love to see some ambitious projects using the PI-Z outside of dedicated movie players and Game Boy emu

Impressive until you get to C++ and it turns into a random hodgepodge of 404s or really weak references (no pun intended). Also, this same cheat sheet has been shared on HN 14 times now. Not a bad thing but interesting none the less.

This is the kind of broad generalization that someone that knows a lot about Python but very little about other languages would make. The truth is most of these features have existed in other languages for many years, before C++ adoption an

Funny to me that they call out the excellent Vanilla Sky (yes, I know Abre los Ojos is better) and the horrible (but fun) Demolition Man, but don't mention the much more likely Idiocracy. In seriousness, people who will wake up will fa

RPI's have been shown not to scale from a power/heat to $ ratio (I believe Mac Mini clusters are way more efficient), so this is not a practical project by any means. Even so, very fun looking project. It says something when a gee

The only reason it would be 'Worth it' is if they found something of note (something to help prosecution of other criminals or prevent further attacks). Is there any reason to believe that this hack accomplished this? What else wo

I'm sure that is representative (it doesn't seem that they've solved 'registration' yet) but I'm curious what's behind the camera lens. For all we know it looks like this: http://arcadeheroes.co

I cringe when I see code like this: if len(vals) in range(1, 5): It seems like a harmless enough thing to do but that code is effectively creating a new array with values [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and testing if the result of len() is in that arr

Ever heard of a plea deal? He was obligated to 'admit wrongdoing' in order to get a reduced sentence. Sure, he could have stuck to his guns, but, jail has very bad internet.

No specific questions about your blog post but want to echo the sentiment that Scala is incredibly easy for refactoring. With Python (or even C++) it can be quite the chore, but as you said, building simple and using the compiler to guide y

Stencil check rejections based on overdraw don't hurt as much as you'd think. Liken it to a clip() (or discard), which is a single instruction. The GPU pipeline optimizes for this. The approach you linked too is very well thought

You've misread; Evan says that he based his calculations on a Microsoft paper. Not that he works for Microsoft or that this is Microsoft Research or anything like that.

What I like most about this technique as opposed to other "draw a font as curves in a shader" approaches is that it's actually very fillrate friendly. Instead of drawing a quad and calculating curves (or curve segments) over
