Maybe this rules out the possibility that we're living in a simulation run on classical computers that naively simulate all physical processes. But that's not all the possibilities of living in a simulated universe.

The great thing about D3 is that Mike Bostock is a prolific writer of tutorials and examples. For map-making, I taught myself a lot of D3 with his Let's Make a Map article ( https://bost.ocks.org/mike/map/ ), w

D3 and Node. I love how easy it is to create something interactive and beautiful with D3. And I feel like I've barely scratched the surface with all the built-in tools I have left to learn.

Of course, but it still is a good idea to think critically about the possibility that tech companies are seriously overvalued. The chance of a bubble bursting in any given year are probably low, but that there will be a downturn is inevitab

Awesome! Pretty easy to get it up and running, not counting OpenGL. What would be really cool to see is an example of how you could use this to interactively calculate, say, the path of some of the satellites we've launched into the ou
