   That's cool. As far as I can tell, you are approximating bezier curves with line segments. It is a valid solution in many cases, but I would not use this technique for anything but aestetics. Have you seen this paper: http:/&#x2

   I am planning to do a writeup on the core algorithm myself. But in a few words: linear algebra and integrals. *Edit

   It should work in Firefox, there is a workaround specifically for that.

    python code to generate this thing: def graytree(n): for row in range(n, 0, -1): d = 2**(row-1) yield ''.join(str(((i+d)>>row)%2) for i in range(2**n)) for r in graytree(6): print(r)

    That's so cool. When I was a kid, I had a panel with a ton of switches. I've been thinking about the way to cycle through all of the possible switch combinations (I already knew combinatorics and binary), and I invented Gray codes

    There is another bug I think we must get rid of: generating HTML using printf techniques. Not only we should have verified parser, but also verified serializers. http://m1el.github.io/printf-antipattern/ (EDIT: I know

    Maybe it would be better to create a streaming message passing API. e.g. send an object in smaller parts instead of passing JSON and then sending it to the worker and fetch it in parts.

    You are right, list comprehension are cool and I often use them. However, in this particular case, IMO, it would make things worse because I would have to write a multi-line list comprehension. Multi-line list comprehensions have bad readab

    Every time I see people using printf to generate structured data formats, a part of me dies inside. Here's how I would do it, using libgit2 and proper JSON output: https://gist.github.com/m1el/42472327b4be382b02eb

    I see that they're using display:flex for layout, for all elements, which makes things like inline styles impossible or extremely inconvenient. http://jsfiddle.net/u8wd8kdL/5/ If I am wrong, please provide
