I could not agree more. When trying to understand the distinction between "declarative" and "non-declarative" code, I came to the same conclusion: it's all relative.

If you find the right organization that uses the funds effectively, what's with donating your wealth as opposed to creating your own charitable organization? Also, I'm sure the tax deduction for donations is exploited when the re

How do you deal with false negatives when using Hilbert curves for nearest neighbor searches? Based on my limited understanding, points close on space can be far from each other on the curve. Do you use multiple curves or something?

A function f(x) whose growth rate at x is proportional to f(x). So anything where growth rate is proportional to the current value.

Could you compile to wasm, or is there extra work involved in making that possible? One reason I shied away from learning Common Lisp is that none of the popular implementations seem to run in the browser.

If that were true, text books wouldn't contain any diagrams. So I think it's fairly uncontroversial to say that there are cases when text is not the best way to incept ideas. So why should we be confined to just text when writing

Canvas already uses double buffering. OffscreenCanvas lets you issue draw commands from a separate thread.

by glass_of_water 5y ago
From my understanding, OffscreenCanvas and double buffering are unrelated. OffscreenCanvas just lets you execute draw calls in a separate thread (in a WebWorker). I believe the browser already uses double buffering under the hood for draw

Oh that's cool, using fork() to create checkpoints. Thank you again for taking the time to explain!

As bhackett confirmed, you're right about recording at the system library call level. I wasn't sure if it was more of an analogy or only referred to a version of Replay targeting backend servers written in other languages like Go

Thanks for the explanation! Do you ever run into performance issues with replaying from the start on each backward step or is this not really in issue in practice? I imagine for most websites and short replays it's probably fine, but

I read the medium post ( https://medium.com/replay-io/how-replay-works-5c9c29580c58 ), which gives an overview of how Replay works, but there are a few things I still don't understand. 1) How does the step backward

I had the same issue; I think the error message is wrong. The reason it's not working is that tracking protection is blocking XHR requests to www.reddit.com. If you disable tracking protection or whitelist www.reddit.com it should wor

Would an animated SVG work? Might be the best of both worlds, faster user experience and probably a better score.

Currently, WebAssembly doesn't can't directly call any of the browser APIs; it has to call back into javascript to make any network requests, make WebGL calls, read to/write from the DOM. Projects like wasm-bindgen make it l

They didn't ignore that fact, they explicitly mentioned it in the article. > Stern and Rogan are already super rich. The difference between $50mm/year of profit and $100mm means zero to their day-to-day lifestyle. What I imagin

I wouldn't recommend playing games in an attempt to build mental endurance. I used to play a lot of Starcraft 2 and Dota 2, and it mostly just sapped my motivation for other things.

If your requirement is compiling to native binaries, then perhaps dlang with GC enabled? Admittedly it would be a really poor choice in 2020 though given the lack of adoption. Golang is GCd and native, but of course the language is lackin

I also don't quite understand the appeal of Rust for applications that can tolerate a GC. Other than perhaps borrow checking, I don't see the benefits over statically-typed, GC languages. I used to code a lot in C++, but I'v

I agree that with the rapid change in the language, it's probably premature to standardize on one API for networking. But as a newcomer to Rust, it's really overwhelming when there are like 5 different async websocket libraries,

This appears to be an appeal by Womply to direct a ton of stimulus money toward them, so that they can make loans to small businesses (instead of the Small Business Administration), and then they can take a cut of that.

I think this is an issue with both iPhone and Android. I had an iPhone 6 that was bricked by an update, but was out of warranty, so I ended up getting a Pixel phone and have been pretty happy with it.

These numbers aren't exaggerated at all. If you're making $82k in NYC with almost 10 years of experience, you got massively lowballed by your current company. Have you interviewed around lately?

Also, it's not just an issue of an intentionally backdoored compiler. The nightly could have some experimental optimization enabled, and if there's a bug in the optimization, it could introduce a vulnerability into the compiled L
