Traditionally most cg rendering systems use an idealized lens to simplify the math. Matrix projection transformations simulate a pinhole lens. This does mean that all images are perfectly sharp however, so for depth-of-field, bokeh, and oth

Actually this is exactly why we use QML. QML makes it easy to create new GUI primitives that can be called in the same way as the standard library widgets. The coding flow is also nice, in that you can start buy embellishing an element inli

Interesting. This sounds like its related to triggering "system 2" as Kahneman would call it in "Thinking, Fast and Slow" Experimenters recruited 40 Princeton students to take the CRT [Shane Frederick's C

I somewhat agree. It seems clear to me that its a consequence of not writing to a story arc, which in turn is a consequence of not knowing the running length of your story. Even the best execution I've seen are series that end ambiguou

I'm confused. You suggest that templates are what you are offering, but this is a link to an app. Are you offering the wireframe templates themselves? Like, for example, ui8[1]. [1] https://ui8.net/craftwork/produc

People work in different ways. We do in place upgrades across all components. In fact that's sort of why we use k8s in the first place. Also, I have an allergy to complexity, so I need fewer moving parts for health reasons.

Not that you are doing this but it is frustrating when people use this argument to justify the lack of value of some features for the general population, but this is just a "sell to the largest market" mentality. It fails to recog

Thanks! But also wow, just wow. Oh, wait. I just tried and it turns out you can simply use the up down arrow keys once you've tabbed to the app. Neither control or option keys are required just keep holding command and then use the a

Unfortunately, maximized windows and full screen windows are not equivalent, and there are plenty of contexts in which fullscreen is what is required (virtual desktop, distraction free mode, graphics apps, etc. etc). Maximized windows retai

I've been using Macs for years, and I agree. It is infuriating that I can tab away from an application, and then be unable to tab immediately back to it. I'm at a loss why this is missing. It is the workflow between apps when th

I am not a fan of the context pattern either, however one can support it without need to explicitly define that support. var fs fs.Fs fs = somefs.New() fs = contextfs.New(context.TODO(), fs) fs is now an fs with an imbedded

This is great. I've had challenges related to filesystem abstraction for years. I scoured the go packages on github for a solution, and found afero[1], but at the time that package had been languishing for years without anyone merging

When I've herd this concept invoked the source has generally been attributed to Dodge v. Ford Motor Co.[1] That ruling seems to cut in either direction depending on the analysis. But in the end the most compelling argument seems to be

The complexity is absolutely emergent, the person selecting can easily see that selecting the same offspring every time is just as likely to produce complex results as carefully curating the offspring selection. Dawkins example is just a me

Say there is some actual adaptive advantage like upper body strength. Genes that cause greater upper body strength tend to survive, and because of this genes in the opposite sex that can detect upper body strength in a potential mate tend t

I believe the intention was simply to illustrate that complexity can evolve from simplicity. It's quite a bit more difficult to build a working example that relies on actual natural selection.

Sexual selection is the term for form for form sake. Many people mistakenly take 'natural selection' and 'sexual selection' to be interchangeable terms but 'sexual selection' is the term for the mechanism that

Because as Dawkins points out you cannot intentionally evolve a target species. You can intentionally select from a set of results to influence future results, but you cannot produce a particular result intentionally.

I agree completely with your expectation of the abilities of such a system. However, I think very little programming labor is employed in the construction of new algorithms or even most business logic, even a casual stroll through github re

I notice that the bug was in the user's failure to communicate the intent of the scalar. Presumably with regular use users would learn to be more clear and/or anticipate the likely fixes to ambiguous labels. Also, since it would b

Asking for a real time stock ticker is also not using "real time" as a term of art, having a 2 second delay in stock data might be a failure to deliver on application requirements, but it is not necessarily a failure to deliver a

I'm sure that this is just hyperbole, but I can't imagine this not being a perfectly reasonable context in which to deploy a go application. In my mind "real time" as a term of art applies to things like hardware control

Deterministic in this context* refers to the inherent error in conceiving of correlation questions as a limited set of discrete possibilities. For example, given that event A correlates well with B one is likely to ask: 1) Does A cause B? 2

Yes it's a bad thing not because of the action, but because of the representation. It is an attempt at communicating state and action at the some time, but I think disconnecting look and behavior is a mistake. Don't use a skeuomor
