Not really sure this is an unsolved problem in other contexts. For example, any good image viewer would have no-shimmering at all scales. You simply render your text as images and then apply the method already used by the image viewers.

How is it any different from the idea of voxels?

Great talk. So he created cmake-ide for emacs. I'm wondering is there an equivalent for make projects. EDIT 1: The github page [1] says "It automatically detects Ninja and Make builds and sets the compile command accordingly"

I'm trying to get into refactoring (and even semantic analysis, and code-generation) for large C++ codebases using libclang, libtool, and the ilk. Any guides to get started, and/or best practices? Does it increase productivity by

> Do I need to know Haskell? Yes. This is enough for me to reject this blogpost. No you don't need a specific language to implement any functionality that can be implemented by a turing-complete language. I watched Crockford's

Here are some examples (based on my limited experience) that hardly anyone could challenge: - Unix philosophy and the shell utilities (bash + C) - Emacs (lisp + C) - Python scientific stack (Python + C/FORTRAN) (Heck even Google had to

Well, one of the least ambiguous definitions of aging is "accumulation of damage at the microscopic/cellular level", that includes both accumulation of foreign matter over time (e.g., accumulation of asbestos particles, or ch

Thanks for the great slides. Some questions: I'm a bit confused trying to understand "error function" vs "loss function" (going from Linear regression to perceptron). Coming from a numerical background: - Is the ter

Life is too short to not be involved in and/or contributing to anti-aging research in any way. If Wright brothers (and other flight enthusiasts around that time) had not taken the initiative, academics, pundits, and "experts"

I'm in the exact same camp. I call it "two-language programming". Python+C beats the heck out of any single systems language, especially C++. And thanks to the amazing bloated complexity of the C++ language, the cognitive ove

Love it. I dream of the day when all current system-level fads bite the dust, replaced by new fads, while C is still running as the system layer. (hint: just like it is happening today with the 90s fad called C++, replaced by fads like Go,

This text misses two very important sub-areas of statistical learning, so much so that I can't believe they gave their textbook such a broad name ("statistical learning", more like a subset of it. The whole book doesn't

I would love to work in an environment where I can work at my top productivity 12 hours a day for a couple weeks (including weekends). Then I need to not do anything for a few weeks.

Slightly off-topic. I'm looking for a tutorial/article/project to create a toy (or even feature-full) emacs-like text editor from the ground up. Using two languages: C and scheme (preferably R7RS-small). I have quite a few re

As neither a AWS or Linode customer (but might become one) I have a couple questions: - Can Linode offer short-term compute or memory intensive service? e.g., If I want to consume 100 teraflops 24x7 for about a couple weeks, or maybe 10 ter

Interactive optimizers? Take whatever author wrote as "dialog and thinking" of the optimizer and turn it into prompts. There should be at least some (aggressive) optimizations which should require user's permission. And if th

Similar to what LukeShu said. - I'm in the camp that thinks widget libraries for C++ should be workable in C. - I'm big on minimalism, and being strongly aware of "90% of programs out there are bloated", and was horrifie

Just. Amazing! As someone who is Gtk, Qt, C++ averse, I thought I'll have to settle on something like FLTK. This is another option in my basket. Is it tied to X or fairly independent? Because Wayland is an upcoming standard which aims

yeah but what does "limited time away" mean? The whole article would be a waste if that really meant a couple weeks short of what mothers take on average. edit: okay, it says she took 2 weeks leave for her first child. That's

> What exactly are you going to expose? How should the build system interact with this? The case of AST is relatively clear. You create a library module, or a standalone program, that takes source code and generates an AST. The AST could

There is a problem but you're looking at it the wrong way. What's in the compiler's machine code generation phase that the build system needs to know about? If nothing, then making a monolithic system is only going to make yo

Actually I recalled I played with nim about a month ago. Really only created a three liner (print "what's your name", read a string, print "Hello" + string_read). The generated C code was a couple hundred lines. Hon
