Every time I've paid attention to a "talented" person what I've found is some quirk in their personality/history that gives them an intense interest in the subject. That interest drives them to practice the subje

Can you be specific of the context you are interested in? On modern machines, a pixel is just a set of three numbers indicating how much red, blue and green light should be shown at a particular point. Ex: {0.75 red, 0.0 blue, 0.5 green} f

From the menu, hit P to turn on Playlist Mode. That should default to on. Without that, it seems to just play one vid on repeat until you "change channels".

A lot of the design of the Apple I stemmed from Woz’s experience in arcade videogame hardware. In particular he was famously great at taking other people’s designs and refactoring them to have equivalent functionality using fewer components

So, everyone needs to go back and watch the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series. In that world, pretty much everyone has a few enhancements, visual and audio overlay options are pretty much universal. Having your equipment ha

Also reminds of "Better Than Life" from a cheesy, teen-sci-fi Shadowrun novel. The story starts out assuming Strange Days -style neural recording and playback is a commonplace consumer good. But, then quickly gets into highly

Different article from a month ago “Why can’t you buy a good web cam?” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25504771 Lots of points. Big one being that the market is bifurcated into: 1. People who just want the minimum as c

Not really. If you are running a car repair shop or hospital, it’s difficult to derive ongoing value from the cars/people you fixed up in the past. The tricky thing is that code shops hold on to their code and often code shop managers

The book goes into great detail about programming VGA GPUs. MCGA Mode 13, “Mode X” and a few other variations. I read the precursor to this book when it was new and programmed for GPU that I had back then.

Does your WiFi provide a way to monitor the real time bandwidth usage of each device? I was experiencing randomly timed outages for a while. Turned out to be our various phones and other devices randomly saturating my low upload bandwidth

The classic Doug Lea's Malloc with #define ONLY_MSPACES is great for this. That way you can constrain not only Lua's memory usage, but also it's fragmentation. We'd also manually run a fixed number of GC steps per frame

I have not dug into WASM myself. But, I've heard there are multiple implementations out there that are very nicely embeddable. They might well be good competition for Lua. I guess I'd ask a few different questions. Who is your

The details about assembly and GPUs are way out of date. The good parts are the wisdom about how to approach optimizing programs.

I think a lot of people complain about Lua because they are trying use use it as a Python alternative. Lua and Python are suited for very, very different tasks. If you are whipping up a command-line script because what you want is too comp

PS4’s Dreams is pretty advanced voxel tech. Quite a bit has been written about how it works.

Way, way back in university, I wrote “the most copy-pasted code of all time” —-according to the author. But, I’m not actually much of an expert in the subject beyond that :p So, whenever people ask about implementing Marching Cubes, I sugge

Probably got a good deal on it. Malls were overbuilt for quite a while and oversupply has had many of them struggling for over a decade.

Not for the ILM use-case. I expect they would stick to finely-tessellated geometry. The challenge would be moving all of that data across the PCI bus in and out of the relatively limited DRAM on the GPU. It would require a very intellige

I've seen variations of this article before. It's the novelty. "That's different... What would someone pay real money to advertise with something that looks so cheap and crappy? Click."

Not an ILMer, but I was at LucasArts over a decade ago. Back then, us silly gamedevs would argue with ILM that they needed to transition from CPU to GPU based rendering. They always pushed back that their bottleneck was I/O for the m

Lots of cynic-cynics in here :) I'll stand up for the author. The lists in the article are not great, but I still agree with the sentiment. I recommend everyone watch Bret Victor's classic "The Future of Programming"
