Yep. Been following this guy since he was at Lionhead, and while he's obviously a very very smart guy, it's disappointing that he puts his hope in techno-fixes. To me it seems fairly obvious that the problems our society faces ste

There's no remember me option antymore, it always remembers. You have to log out manually and/or set your browser to delete the cookies and/or use Ghostery if you don't want FB tracking you all over the web...

Pretty much. Usually you do the rough animation by manipulating the objects in the 3D viewport (with the manipulator using euler angles even in the cases where the angles are then converted to and stored as quaternions) and marking keyframe

Not the GP, but by axis they mean XYZ euler angles. In 3D animation software you typically have a set of curve graphs that show transformations vs time, that allow the animator to tweak timing, ease in/out of keyframes etc. If your obj

Maybe. But it could also mean the Standard Model is some sort of dead end. There are a lot of observed phenomena it doesn't explain, and absent new discoveries there's not much consensus on where to go next.

Especially when that single header is over 13k lines and reimplements half the standard library. This looks pretty cool and I have an idea for an OpenGL project that needs a GUI, so I'll probably try it out at some point, but it doesn

Yup, generality and reprogrammability would be my criterion as well. As for closed loop control, well maybe? Just about everything meant for industry uses servos, so there's a closed loop for positioning, but it won't necessarily

Interesting. Fenno-Swedish did away with "frukost", and the only morning meal is "morgonmål". Though I remember reading about someone having separate "morgonkaffe" and "frukost" as a child, and thinki

Probably about the same. Most of the code is defining data types and loading an OBJ file, and modern OpenGL requires quite a lot of boilerplate before anything gets drawn.

In a pre-literate society these kinds of works (including much of Shakespeare) would've been composed in verse form to aid with memorization. So if you intend to recite from memory for six hours straight, like in the article, you proba

This was the part that stood out to me also. They must have a ton of new stuff in the pipeline, or their "display photos, insert some ads in between" loop is way more complex than it seems. Or that's total number of engineers

I like that the article doesn't answer or even ask the question in the title: "How long?". But the tl;dr seems to be that while lithium is cheaper than sodium, the performance is way worse and practical problems remain. And a

Hmm, I feel like that distinction might blur a lot if one considers human society as part of the greater surrounding ecosystem. The focus on short term thinking probably just shows how little we differ from bacteria growing to fill a petri

But also climate change, endocrinde disruption, soil acidification and oceans full of microplastics. I wonder how many times "progress" has to bite us in the ass before our culture realizes that the behavior of the complex systems
