Based on the comments in this thread I went today and bought Kerrygold (salted sweat cream butter) and ran a taste test against generic Kirkland. (I'm in the US so this is US butter.) I ate each one directly, by itself. Maybe I'm

If you build an equivalent tech demo in HTML Canvas, I'd be curious to see how it performs. I'm sure you're aware that, just because Canvas layers on top of WebGL/GPU draw calls, doesn't necessarily mean it's

Like I said in my top comment, it's a profiler. I need to consume logs from distributed applications (on possibly tens of thousands of nodes) and render them in as coherent a fashion as possible. Going to 3d rendering via OpenGL /

I don't know if you noticed, but my test has on the order of 10 billion rectangles. Only about 80k are drawn on the screen at once because I do very aggressive culling. To be honest, I'm not sure Canvas can handle either part of

It sounds like you want BokehJS. It was one of the alternatives I was recommended while I was exploring, but for various reasons my particular use case is not so easy to integrate (plus my backend was already in Rust). https://gi

In my testing, I went through a bunch of Rust frameworks that sit on top of the core OS UI frameworks. My experience with all of those was that they all capped out at about 3k rectangles on a screen at a time at 30 fps (vs the about 80k rec

I have no beef with deferred mode GUIs except that I have yet to see one with the performance characteristics I need. For what it's worth, egui does have an accessibility layer. I haven't gone to any particular effort to wire it u

I've been building a profiler UI in egui recently, and have been pretty happy with it. I didn't try out all of the options in this article (there are rather a lot of them), but I did try several, and out of the ones I tried, egui

How much do you know about research funding? For example, the fields you mention (sciences/engineering, medicine) pull in vastly more money that humanities. Because they have more money, they hire more faculty, and they also train and

Wasn't expecting the audio commentary at all, and I have to say (beyond the visuals, which are also cool) that it's very well-done. Thanks for sharing!

If you're trying to solve boolean satisfiability, you want a SAT solver, not Prolog. If you're trying to solve more general problems, you probably want an SMT solver or other more specific solver (e.g., ILP), not Prolog. If you&#x

They tried spinning it off as Quickster some years ago. It was an epic PR failure. I suspect that's why they're throwing in the towel now: they don't want a repeat even if the business could be saved.

I second not sharing anything that isn't already public. But there is this pattern where these discussions get hashed out either (a) when someone misbehaves and dang posts a reply to remind them about the guidelines or (b) like this, w

I read through your linked post, and I wonder if it would work better if the algorithm was something like this: Take what is currently the two front pages (i.e., the current front page, and what you get to when you click "next"

Huh, interesting. I'm on macOS, and I don't think I've experienced any of this. My #1 gripe is that an increasing number of websites just don't work. Microsoft Teams is a big culprit, but I've had issues with medica

Have you actually tested this? The blog post makes it sound like this just landed. Of all the things that frustrate me about Firefox (and it is my daily driver), UI latency is not one of them.

But was Microsoft ever cool in the sense that Google was circa 2005? (Asking honestly, I'm too young to remember that period.)

I'm surprised that no one here has talked about the build times yet. As a new user, the first thing you notice out of the box is that even on a relatively beefy system, you spend ~2 hours getting to a working state, even when you'

Let me take this even further. We have systems, today, that take a specification and generate code from it (and will even do so in a provably correct manner). There are scalability issues with such systems, but they exist and have in some f

Since we're here, what kind of dash do you use for dates? 2023-03-12 I've tried to be more dash-correct, but I've realized there are corner cases that none of these guides address.

This doesn't fit my experience. I mean, yes, this was me. I came in knowing most/all of this. I knew six (or more?) programming languages, had at least played with CVS/SVN, had installed Linux (read: fought with the Linux boo

If you want to dig into the details, The Trial by Publisher's Lunch has the (edited) trial transcripts. https://shop.publishersmarketplace.com/ I was surprised by how readable it is, but I guess I shouldn't be.

I agree it's not sinister, but I think it goes deeper than this. Strong (static) type systems fundamentally make you do more work up front. They force you to be more explicit. They restrict what you can do. They're in your face ,

Anecdotal, but I recently had the opportunity to write some relatively greenfield code in each of Rust and C++. Nothing too massive, a few thousand lines. But fairly intricate code with a need for high performance. I consider myself to be f
