OpenGL kind of sucks, tbh. I know because I work full time with it. There are so many things in OpenGL that are either inneficient, outdated, or plain stupid. You also can't directly expose it anyway because of poor support on Windows

I'm extremely excited for WebGPU. Support for Compute Shaders and efficient batching of various tasks such as setting shader uniforms are going to be game changers with respect to power and performance of 3D graphics and GPGPU in web b

It's very obviously not refering to the implementation but to how it's used, no need to be pedantic.

It's simple as in simple to use. Something that C++ needs more of.

The download folder can still be the default, and all you'd have to do is to press "save" if you're okay with the default.

> - about:preferences#general > Downloads > always ask where to save I hate the default behaviour so much. What's wrong with asking me where to save the file? I almost certainly have a place in mind where the file should go.

Yes! So much that! I can't believe that it's okay in python to declare/initialize a variable within a loop or if statement, and that it goes to live on afterwards. JS fixed that issue years ago with let and const.

I tried about a year ago and about half a year ago, respectively. Both times, the exported bbl file hat a different version than the one accepted by arXiv. First time, the bbl version was too old. Second time, the bbl version was too new. F

I think the bbl file is what I meant. It's created from the source and bib file, and arXiv refuses to accept the one that is created by overleaf. I really dislike arXiv for demanding the full source and refusing pdfs, but then insistin

arXiv is a nice idea but I kinda hate it. It's not compatible with overleaf for no good reason at all. arXiv expects you to ship the source of the article + some sort of generated bib file of a specific version, instead of generating t

And journals are happy to take all that research and review work that is paid for by tax payers, and then put it behind paywalls.

Reviewing an amazon article costs 5 minutes. Reviewing a paper costs a day. Journals extort hundreds of man hours per conference from reviewers. The largest cost of all, research and writing the paper, isn't reimbursed in the slightest

The "Changes Over Time" graph is awesome. It does an excellent job of conveying current status and change.

I am! RiftSketch is great. We just rolled our own because we needed OpenGL 4.5 and access to visual studio code within the VR window. So our live coding framework is a native desktop app that uses V8 to bind javascript calls to C++ and Open

As far as I can tell, json() also needs to be treated as a promise, and fetch doesn't take a callback as an argument Wouldn't the correct non-await version look like this? fetch(url).then( response => { response.j

I do research in computer science and in the last few years, lots of trivial and dumb patents in my field appeared out of nowhere. However, I can only assume that they really are trivial because they are written in a way to claim a lot with

Excel seems to be localized and I absolutely hate it. A german version of excel expected me to write WENN instead of IF, or SUMME instead of SUM. It's dumb. Especially since if you're trying to look up code snippets or how to do s

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. What kind of random number generation you need depends entirely on your use case, and for my use cases it's just fine since "better" random number generators won't give me bet

What's wrong with Math.random()? I use it all the time (graphics) and it works like a charm.

Yes, build times of a few seconds instead of minutes. Easier and more robust "write once, run everywhere". Integrating third party libraries in a matter of minutes instead of hours, sometimes days. Generally much faster prototypin

My university library had most of the "required" books to use for free. Took me a while and some money to find that out, though.
