A simpler way: You can avoid sampling neighbours by clamping the ray-march step so it never moves further than the current cell's boundary (plus a tiny epsilon). That way, you only cross into adjacent cells at the edge and avoid the 8

Try to notice how you're avoiding answering the points I raised and jumping at any chance to defend the Amiga (it was only 4-channel 8-bit built in and nobody achieved 14-bit sound before 1991). The Amiga vs X wars were decades ago at

I don't think there's intentional dishonesty in it - the author is just biased to seeing everything Amiga very positively.

Stereo 14-bit sound didn't really happen until the 1990s and needs quite a lot of CPU time and careful hacking, as Amiga sound chips are 8-bit, 4-channel. 4096 colors via weird hold-and-modify modes was never useful outside of demos an

That's great, thanks. I've also independently verified the 25,309,575 using similar techniques.

It's common to assume that your solver encodes all the techniques that a human might reasonably use (without backtracking) but it's rarely the case. Someone could look at the clues in two columns and two rows at the same time, for

The number of unique 5x5 grids is 33,554,432 (2^25) and the number if you ignore rotation or reflection is 4,211,744. What is 28,781,820?

As siblings note, TVar is a transactional variable. However, it's not just protective against concurrent writes but also against concurrent reads of altered variables, so it offers true atomicity across any accessed state in a transact

What are you trying to imply? That is was written entirely by LLMs or such? It has none of the usual tells. Or perhaps that an LLM was used to help? Yeah, that is possible, but not problematic. I think it is mostly just a somewhat dry, acad

The way a word is typically used is its general meaning, even if it has a different meaning in some technical circles.

To be clear: Windows still does subpixel rendering, and the wizard is still there. The wizard has not actually worked properly for at least a decade at this point, and subpixel rendering is always enabled, unless you use hacks or third-part

You wrote "He suggests that all of the fat models will eventually red ring due to being stress tested at the factory" - it directly states that stress testing at the factory is the claimed reason that the fat models will red ring.

That's a typo in the response, I believe. The screenshot shows 10^100 (10 to the power of 100).

You're missing the value of these things in identifying bugs. When you subtract a number of seconds from a temperature, you'll be glad for the compile-time error. There also doesn't have to be a runtime cost, as in C++ (and l

Debouncing doesn't need to delay a touchstart event, in general, so latency shouldn't really increase in a carefully designed system, especially if you can be animating in advance of the touchend event.

This is an interesting take on debouncing, but I found the choice of TV remotes as an example a bit confusing. From my understanding, the issues with remote controls aren’t typically caused by bouncing in the mechanical sense but rather by

That (to quote you) means you have to keep them in the queue until the next time the client connects, which could be a very long time. To be clear, there's no real difference - in both cases you have to keep messages in some queue and

That's simply self-contradictory, as written. You say that it has (opt-in) types, then say that it doesn't have types. You could say "I hate that it doesn't have types by default", but it would be even more accurate

Maybe you could do some research, since you're introducing a technology that could easily make accessibility worse or impossible. However, from what I can see, it probably is accessible, as it is still usable without a mouse, which is

Browser-based screen sharing is the subject. Is it normal to advertise unrelated projects in HN comments?
