I've always wondered, how exactly games do this. Do you have at least one "write" state and one "read" state, so that the simulation can write during its update and the renderer can read the previous state independe

Personally I don't fit neatly into any of the categories, but I guess I'm an anxious collector? I have two Synology devices, one at home, one at my parents' place as an offsite mirror. I use both Dropbox and a self-hosted Sea

I'd definitely try the Greek yogurt effect with wozi. But I can't help but think that with fruits and vegetables this is an odd solution to a problem we brought on ourselves. One of the issues with mass-production of plants is tha

Anecdote about tasting: A few years ago, I went on a diet due to some allergy issues. Since I was going to be pretty miserable anyway, I decided to reduce my sugar and salt intake as well. At the beginning it was pretty bad, eating very bla

That's the Daily Mail, which should be taken with more than a grain of salt. According to Wikipedia he was indeed Jewish and agnostic.

Very true, I think those estimates are actually two ideas/types crammed into one value. 1. The construction part, as you said, can be estimated. 2. I'd just call the other thing "allocated time" instead of "estimate

Integrations for time-tracking software with issue tracking software exists, but I've never actually seen them used in combination before. You'd think that issue trackers would always include a very user-friendly time tracker by d

That's a refreshingly good example of "design by ...cabal..." actually working out pretty well. I think the key element is how the members actually had to implement their designs. If you just come up with a lazy compromise, i

That little downtime recently that in some places looked like Google had deleted my account got me quite a shock and made me re-evaluate my dependence on Google too. For anyone looking for a simple self-hosted file sync system I'd reco

You write GLSL, which is a shader language. Specifically, in this case, you write code that determines the color of a pixel given its coordinates (and some other input variables). On Shadertoy, they use WebGL to create a little rendering pi

It's relatively unusual to have a job as a teenager where I come from. So I had to make do with birthday/christmas gifts and pocket money. During my university days my budget was pretty much just rent and food. I could afford a PC

I've been using Nextcloud for a few years now, starting with my mail-in-a-box instance. Before that, I played around with owncloud a bit over the years. I'm now at the point where I'm trying to find a different solution. I do

When that happened I panicked a little, realizing how much Google Sheets data I had that wasn't really backed up anywhere since Sheets files in Google Drive are basically just links. I started a Takeout, but it looks like I wasn't

I used a small Noctua fan on my Pi project (actually a relatively large box) that I'm controlling via PWM. Didn't need any logic level conversion.

Then you should definitely look into the "Demoscene". It's basically a subculture built around writing impressive little graphics demos. What exactly makes them impressive depends on the category, e.g. a limited hardware plat

Exactly, it seems like the intended audience is "people who are already familiar with it", but then it's unclear what use it is to them.

Adding to the other explanations: I think the way you go about it is to simply google some SDF implementations of primitives (looking for them on shadertoy will already give you a basic set pretty quickly), and you can expect that implement

Maybe it's just me, but that seems like part of a common problem on websites submitted to HN - you go to gooblorgs.io, because now apparently it is compatible with snootlr and that somehow got it to the top of the page, only to discove

When you boot your OS like that, it will actually have a warmer and more authentic quality when you're using it.

Can anyone think of some OSS Emeriti? I think Guido van Rossum is a prominent example, but I can't think of anyone else right now.

I'm not saying they weren't successful. As someone who tends to over-engineer things, I do admire their ability to get a product out quickly - I think for a startup that was probably the right decision! But that's what I&#x27

Yeah, that whole approach hasn't really changed at all. I'm not sure how MS could even realistically change it without breaking a lot of stuff, so I think it's more of an example of what to avoid.

Clients, services... the original developer didn't see anything wrong with it, since transactions exist and foreign key relationships make sure the data model stays consistent, right? And you can combine some frequently used methods ac

The company I work for did this, basically because the people working there had to crank out features as quickly as possible and had no idea what a "back end" even is. Fast forward almost a decade, and this approach has generated
