2017 was the year I left Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, etc. Nuked my old reddit account and came back to a fresh start with only a few niche subreddits and of course HN. I don't even frequent 4chan as much because it's l

“As he came to the front door, one of our officers discharged his weapon.” Oh... ok. So the takeaway is, when someone pounds on my door at 3AM, it's safer just to not answer in case it's the police and an officer discharges his

Once we define what kind of encounters to sample, specifically encounters involving police breaking into your home, it's no longer a ratio of 1:1000000+ that you will have a bad encounter. If I were told the chances of me dying from ju

Okay, so then who will be remembered above all of the other noise in our heads in a thousand years? Mental real estate is very expensive, and our ability to forget is what allows us to remember the things that are important to us.

Now hold on, we ought to define some terms before we start saying things like math isn't art . The two are hopelessly intertwined, and it is the ability to recognize form and beauty among the chaos that makes one an artist, not the me

Fedora decided with release 27 to enable trim by default on newly created encrypted devices. I was not happy about this decision and try to make some noise but nobody really seem to care. There is a reason that it is disabled by default in

It's worth checking out Treemaker by Robert Lang. He is an origami master and his is the first of such programs. It's great to see paper-folding algos reach Blender 2.79, but I have immense respect for pioneers in the field. http

That was a good read. I'm excited to see these gains trickle down into video game rendering. A 35% gain on normal mapping performance without any user intervention would be huge. Next step is to explore a similar method with parallax m

That isn't the point. The exploits WannaCry abused were known by this organization and not made known to Microsoft so that they could be exploited and not patched. Since many of these machines ran critical services, this was a hostile

If you don't like what's being said, change the conversation... North Korea has no place in this discussion. The entity responsible for the WannaCry debacle is a US-based spy organization we all know and love.
