Starting with elementary school, they can just take the public transport on their own. Used to do this as a kid in Vienna. For younger kids, cars are defenitely an advantage but I'm seeing more and more parents with their kids on a bi

Javascript number type can be used like 32 bit integers for the most part, including bitwise operators and modulus. I agree that pure 32 and 64 bit integers would be nice, though. Especially since I have need for 64 bit bitwise integer math

Which is easy and legible if you do it. With modulo and 1 based indices, it gets messy.

> One based indexing is just a design choice, while it complicates interoperation, I find it justified as Lua tables are actually hash tables, so it would be weird to model it upon memory offsets. It reminds me that I am only dealing wit

One based indexing isn't just about getting used to it, it makes lots of things a nightmare. Like index-math that involves the modulo operator, which will result in zero values, which are invalid for 1-based indexing. Or turning a 2D o

In real-time rendering, a lot of innovation and state-of-the-art is published in non-peer-reviewed conference slides by companies, or blog posts by non-academic individuals. These should absolutely be cited if you as a researcher are convin

Looking at Vienna, it feels like the value of real-estate grows faster than what you'd earn by renting. E.g. you'd probably earn 3,000€ netto per year from a 200,000€ property, but it's value also rises by 4,000€ in the same

Read the article before spouting nonsense. You're free to attach your name to the bell if you want for whatever reason. Only landlords are now not allowed to attach your name to the doorbell by default in Austria, and apparently they w

I'd count anyone who wields trivial patents, or patents where previous work exixts and which should not have been granted in the first place, a patent troll too.

Javascript is surprisingly fast at processing that many numbers, using TypedArrays. You just had to avoid DataView up until now but the V8 team recently fixed the performance of DataView so it should have similar performance as TypedArray a

Single precision floats loose precision as coordinates get larger, hence "floating" point precision. Point cloud data often consists of outdoor/aerial scans covering multiple kilometers and floats cannot accurately represent

Ah, that's good to hear. WebGL2 has lot's of useful features, glad to see Safari is going to support them, too.
377.
by mschuetz 8y ago
Safari doesn't support WebGL2 and probably never will because of Apple's stance on OpenGL. Disqualifies it for me and I've had to tell customers that I can't support it, even if they'd pay for it.

It removes enough characters to turn it from unreadable mess to legible code. Point is mainly to remove the 3 completely unnecessary parameters, doesn't matter if it's called transform or map.

> That's just a C# idiom Not just C#, Python and JS also have it already. And async-await is the first time ever where I've thought that yes, this is a good way to do single-threaded async (event-queue-ish) or even multi-thread

It has far from "literally" everything. It doesn't have async/await, doesn't have a sane way to create simple web servers, doesn't have map/find/filter/etc on collections, at least not a version

As a counter example, Vienna largely converted its second major shopping street, Mariahilfer Straße, to a mostly pedestrian + bike zone, with parts of it also shared space with cars, though they do not have priority over pedestrians. Gets v

A proper and intuitive UI is one of the hardest and most time consuming things to do. From a design perspective, it takes a lot of effort, trial&error and user feedback to find out what works and what doesn't work, and to create so

I don't know, I can't take any of this seriously because of all the hyperboles thrown around left and right, without any seemingly level-headed analysis.
