Thanks for those insights! I think some of the things you mention (non-uniform scaling, concave meshes) are getting easier these days, thanks to tooling around things like convex decomposition and relaxed memory requirements, although, even

I haven't come across Bevy before, but it certainly looks very neat from the example demos. If there's a WASM runtime for Rust, I _imagine_ it's possible to take the HavokPhysics.wasm used by Babylon.JS and calling the functi

Not OP, but I've been using vim for 20+ years and I get enormous utility out of the mouse wheel for scrolling - especially with a trackpoint. I spend an enormous amount of time _reading_ code and I want to move up and down quite a lot,

I think I see what you're asking, but I'm not sure I can give a satisfactory (and correct) answer, here but I think you're on the right track: > Why can't the W-'s kinetic energy be smaller... That W- is a virtua

This is a massive oversimplification and anthropomorphizes elementary particles, but hopefully satisfies your curiosity. The reason for the worsening stability is because a free neutron has more potential energy than one bound to a proton.

Would you mind elaborating on this? I'm in the same boat as return0 -- I just can't imagine what utility I'd get out of a touchscreen on my wrist.

Thanks for highlighting this; I took it out for a spin and wow it's fast. I normally find myself working on projects with tens of thousands of files and I've never really been happy with the few seconds it can take ctags to loca

Not to rain on your parade here, but eighty percent accuracy would require every sixth keypress to be backspace. Likely promoting it to the most pressed key. Obviously, auto-correct mitigates this somewhat but for the amount of frustration

I've got something similar in mine; The use-case is to allow indented comments (in languages where '#' is the comment delimiter) Normally, when using auto-indent/smart-indent, pressing '#' on a blank line will change the column to zero, de
