I think the article is conflating investment with governance, or at least it may read like that to a general audience. The idea of raising money from the public isn't new. Kickstarter, GoFundme, Girl Scouts, and "crowdfunding&quot

The actual problem is how society determines value. It's based on supply and demand, which can be gamed, rather than inherent value. For example, compared to jobs in the stock market, education is a low-paying sector, as is janitorial

Yes, I agree... case in point - Unity's Wasm/Webgl exporter works really well for the most part, especially if you test and develop specifically for that target - but we don't see it taking off the way Flash did because nobod

I wrote an opinionated WebGL wrapper in Rust/WASM here: https://github.com/dakom/awsm-web The idea is that it does more cacheing of things like uniform locations and such so you do very fast in-memory lookups in W

It's not that it's incompatible, it's that when the ECS is the primary tool for organization, a DOM tree (or scenegraph) is merely one way of iterating over the entities - not the way. This provides tons of benefits, so for

Thanks for the overview! I'd love to learn and attack this, and I'm also interested in tying it to an ECS for rendering - but so many hours in the day... will reach out if I can see a real opportunity to do something here. I'

Slightly off-topic, but in the spirit of AMA - how would you recommend, on the web (via wasm-bindgen), converting text (like Slate or DraftJS's data models, not necessarily html+css) to WebGL? Converting to a texture by way of Canvas A

Btw, I think this exact concept might have been dealt with a bit in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I just can't figure out which viewpoint falls into the "classical/analytical" and which falls into the &quo

Fantastic answer! Thanks for taking the time to respond here - looking forward to your next book :)

Hehe - I wasn't sure which person to reply to... then I realized, it's YOU! First of all - I want to say thank you. I really really did enjoy the book and smiled at the picture with your dog (as well as all the programming stuff ;

I had a bit of difficulty with this book. Loved reading it in every way (style, content, clarity, etc.) - but in parts[0] of every section I found myself thinking, "wait - of course that's what I'd do... but that's just,

Interesting - I noticed a similar thing and asked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23060724 Doesn't seem specific to Rust, I noticed a similar dynamic around other topics over time.

Another angle to consider is that even within the context of UI state, the natural shape of the data may not match the renderer's state. For example, if you're building a "pong widget" - the UI state is pretty straightfo

So the real story is he proposed doing scientifically valid testing, which could easily disprove their efficacy - and that somehow turned into "the experiments give some hope for the treatment of the novel coronavirus" ... due t

I'm looking at warp[0] and like the concept behind it very much... a bit higher level than hyper, but using a concept of composable filters without being too opinionated. Haven't done much kicking of the tires yet though [0] http

This comment should not be downvoted. We have yet to explain all the inner workings of the brain nor the exact mechanism that drives human behavior. Some future discovery will, perhaps, make our current understanding look downright stupid a
