You might already know this, but WASM isn't even at a stage where it can replace JS. Bindings to the browser APIs are currently done through a JS bridge, which can be pretty slow. I've lost track of the process (there were several

QA testing would be replication. Peer review is more like code reviews... but the code is hidden and you can only see the comments.

You're both right. I've used Ghidra to reverse-engineer a game's serialization format[0] and, even though the C-ish result was marginally better than manually tracking registers across the disassembly, it was far from underst

At least in Google Collab I found longer prompts to work better. E.g. instead of "graffiti sunset" you might get better results with "a sunset painted in the style of graffiti" or similar.

I think this is called HRTF. The bad news is there are many of them and only a few work for each person. This often results in being unable to tell front/back apart, frontal sounds perceived as coming from above, etc.

Good catch! It's one of the variants of ESP cheats.

It's not a problem of bandwidth, it's a problem of latency. What a client sees at any point in time is actually a client-side prediction. If this wasn't the case, and the server wouldn't send player positions until they

VQGAN+CLIP seem to have this dream-like quality where they generate images that are evocative of your prompts but don't actually picture them. I find it fascinating because in some cases it's not as obvious as "lump of white

It's not a problem with types. It's a problem with call semantics. If `foo()` behavior depends on whether `foo` is async or not, you're implicitly introducing yield points that might lead to bugs like race conditions. Even wo

Another reason: when you `await` a promise your function pauses until promise resolution and other code will run meanwhile. In contrast, since JavaScript is single-threaded, calling synchronous functions means only that function will be run

If a function is async it's because it is potentially long-running or expensive. I don't want that fact hidden. I don't find `await` particularly bothersome to write, and it explicitly tells me which calls are async and can b

by kaoD 5y ago
If `await` could be omitted, every async call would be blocking. Sometimes you don't want that. E.g. you can store a `Promise` in a variable and then `await` it later (or even just never `await` it and let it resolve/reject and ig

I see philology/linguistics as quite science-y too. You can argue that's just the building blocks of the art (literature), but so is the science-y side of music (which we call "musical language" in Spanish conservatories

Scale degrees are 1-indexed. Unison is the "first" when it should be zeroth if you want to add indices like that. (3-1) + (3-1) = (5-1)

Hyperactive and inattentive types are very different. I'm not even sure why we group then in the ADHD umbrella.

And that's a terrible abstraction that, for some reason, happens for any application, whether they have a background job or not. System tray + taskbar is miles better.

Criticism is not negativity. It's valuable when someone in the room challenges ideas and pushes back over-abstraction (if done respectfully and constructively).

But how is that related with vanishing points? EDIT: To give a bit more context, in 3D geometry, isometric (and other orthographic projections) are just projections which do not apply a perspective divide. No time component anywhere. https

- Assuming `Int` and `Bool` are user-defined types (Rust has `bool` and many types of ints like `usize`, `i64`, etc. instead). If you want to work over ANY primitive integer you can use the `num_traits` crate and make your type generic over
