Verlet integration uses an object's change in position at time t to determine the velocity for t+1- it is typically used for particles not full rigid bodies.

There is a physics engine for threejs- it's somewhere on their demo page. I'm actually working on a physics engine as well- I'm willing to help you extend it in whatever direction. A question, Why did you chose Verlet integration? I know it

I'm always pleased with Netflix- their product is good and so is their engineering. I'd consider them the ideal company to work for as much of their product is both cutting edge and customer facing. Looking at the open positions, I see no i

I'm currently hitting some performance issues trying to use Python to make a naive physics engine- does anyone have any reading recommendations on best practices for python performance?

Awesome, makes programming accessible to the uninitiated. I was able to create a simple event loop with asteroid like mechanics in a few minutes.

Ah, yes. In a parallel programming class at the moment and now I can't stop thinkin about cache boundaries, volatility, weird efficient instructions to use.. Is this false sharing and throwing out the cache line? Where can I use rsqrtf? Am

I've been following Watsi for a while now and was excited to hear they made it into YC. I've always had a bit of a crisis trying to find a balance between humanitarian work and our craft as programmers. As a programmer, the odds are likely

I agree; as a new grad I don't think about the money (it's all good!) but more so the experience- Will I learn from these people? Will it make me a better engineer? The two most important factors IMO: the tech and the team.

I thought this was common knowledge? If you've read any JS library code you'd have seen this before. I'm not sure what the 'best' library to study is these days- I remember there was HN discussion about it and someone mentioned underscore.j

I've mainly done web development and typical university style assignments for the bulk of my programming experience- barely encountering algorithmic problems that weren't well defined. Recently, I started creating a throwaway physics/game e

Superficial explanation: BGP is the border gateway protocol- you can think of large infrastructure providers as being huge networks that are connected through 'border nodes'. BGP is the protocol it uses to negotiate routes into each other's

This sounds like a nightmare. I'm sorry, but you've got a tough road ahead of you if things don't take an upward swing. I'm just a student, no entrepreneurial experience (yet!), but the best advice I can give you is to man up and avoid tryi

That guy must really like Web Parts. I did not find your statement offensive. I agree- look at how much money is in mainframe consulting. There is truth to the argument that the more attractive the discipline + focus, the less you have to i

I'm a fan of Flask- I was just curious if it was a Django or Flask app running as a process and not setup with nginx/apache + wsgi. The port 8080 is what made me ask.

by bm1362 14y ago
Is this running on Flask? Could be why it went down. I'm interested to see if the source code is available- I'm currently working on a python game for school and wanted to checkout the multiplayer code.

Being from Wimberley, I can attest- it is rather difficult to get things done. I've still got a year or so left before I'm free. Glad to see our CS dept has some presence somewhere, eh?

Hmm, browser specs + errors? I have it running in production for about 400+ developers and no one has filed a bug, yet. Thanks for the heads up!

Exactly what I used on my first non-trivial web app. I had Django + Tastypie serving a REST API and Backbone.js on the front-end. Bootstrap for styling. Apache/mySQL. It turned out to be a success but when I look at the codebase it is a nig
