By cultural reference I meant things like a character quoting a JP movie or saying the catchphrase of a JP comedian - where if translated directly the line would be understandable, but not actually meaningful, to non-Japanese speakers.

I don't think the right question is whether translations are "faithful" or "cultural", I think it's whether they translate what was said, or what a native speaker would have said in a similar situation. To me,

Hugely agree. Crockford seems to assume that syntax coloring is there to be a cognitive aid for people who don't understand how to distinguish literals and operators. It's surely not, it's there to be a visual aid that le

The article suggests that for large static things like config data. It's not suggesting anyone write their object declarations that way.

I think the idea here is that "foolike" is some kind of meaningful characteristic that happens to be testable by looking at a string prefix - not that the author is just making a helper to test string prefixes. E.g.: functio

"The matter" in that quote is the matter of whether the Earth orbits the sun or vice versa. Naturally there's observable physical reality to distances and whatnot, but if you use the laws of physics to make predictions about

by fenomas 7y ago
What I mean is, if two people disagree about whether the Earth orbits the sun, there aren't any experiments where we'd expect them to predict different results. They're both describing the same physical reality, viewed from d

In college I took a great "Philosophy of Physics" class, where on the first day the professor asked everyone to write one page on whether the Earth revolves around the sun, and the final project was another paper on the same topic

I read GP as saying they watched the system's behavior and decided that going by click rates gave the best results. I'd say that is the editorial judgment, in the sense that you're talking about. If they just set things up

I hear you. FWIW I think they might be measuring how long the render takes and then showing the inverse of that as the FPS. If so, that would equate to a kind of theoretical maximum frame rate. The code is minimized though, and I didn'

Yes, Babylon does the 3D rendering while noa does meshing, physics, entities and such. Curiously, the Babylon people also didn't hear about the minecraft game until after it launched, even though their engine is being used and they&#x2

It would have been friendly, but FWIW they seem to have forked my project in mid 2017, so I'm guessing it's an experiment and got shelved and later revived. So it's easy to imagine a scenario where the people who ultimately r

I agree, the counter is certainly odd. That bit of code is Mojang's, I'm not sure what it's measuring. That said, I take no responsibility for it being laggy - the version of my engine they're using is from 2017 and I&#x

Word to the wise: they have the mouse sensitivity set very low and there's no option for it, but you can open the JS console and twiddle "noa.cameraControls.rotationScale".

Thank you! But I don't know a thing about it - I only found out it existed because an internet citizen looked at the source and let me know.

Since there's not much info on this, and since I missed the relevant thread last week, I'll just note here for the record that Mojang's other recent release, a browser-based retro game called Minecraft Classic, was built on
