This changes the sliding animation to a cross-fade. I don't think it's any faster than the sliding animation.

To clarify, this is a tutorial on how to use a C++ computational geometry library named Wykobi. It is not an introduction to computational geometry or a tutorial on how to implement computational geometry algorithms.

What makes a movie “must watch” for “every hacker and cyberpunk”? Two criteria come to my mind: - The movie is likely to teach you something that will make you a better “hacker” or “cyberpunk”. - The movie depicts what it's actually li

Is iOS a modern system? Because iOS does not have swap. > Although OS X supports a backing store, iOS does not. In iPhone applications, read-only data that is already on the disk (such as code pages) is simply removed from memory and rel

Apple's approach in Safari is to only show the hostname in the address bar, unless the address bar has focus. This works pretty well in general (for non-power-users). Unfortunately, for a data URL, it just shows as much of the URL as f

The year in the title should be 1979, not 2009. This was Ken Iverson's Turing Award lecture in 1979.
