The one thing that sets it ahead from shadertoy for me is that it doesn't crash the browser, probably because they use prerendered thumbnails for the previews instead of the actual shaders. The shadertoy front page reliably kills chrom

Last time I've tried Jupyter, about a year or two ago, the user experience wasn't even close to that of Mathematica. I guess I'll give it another chance, but can you tell me in what way Mathematicas notebook interface is outc

I know that certain herbal cookies work vastly better than ibuprofen, even a day after intake, but they're not prescribed very liberally around here.

Six weeks isn't a long time if you've got a herniated disc.

Herniated disc. During the worst weeks, I could hardly move inside the bed, let alone "work on it". Imagine you desperately need to pee but it takes you ten minutes to get out of bed. It's much better now so I take smaller do

"And please be careful with ibuprofen" Ibuprofen is what allows me to get out of the bed for the past 3 months. I'm not sure that doctor knows how bad pain can be without medication.

For some reason, performance.now() and even the performance profiler are capped at 1 milisecond precision on my machine, which make both pretty much useles. Can only get better for me. :|

Interesting, I've rode a bike during the six months I spent in Santa Clara & San Jose and never had it stolen. However, I did notice that there were a lot of bike parking / bike racks that were awfully missdesigned/overen

I need concurrency to parse and prepare streamed 3D data while keeping the main javascript/render thread fast. WebWorkers are already very useful in that regard.

Strong typing is a start but not enough for my taste. Static typing serves as documentation and compile time bug check, which is awesome to have. I'd like to have both, without the detour over typescript.

With ES6, JS became a really nice scripting language. Personally, I'm glad to see more and more projects that use javascript outside of web browsers and I've also added V8 to my most recent C++ project. The only major drawback in

by mschuetz 9y ago
Yes. I've added V8 to my recent C++ project since JS is my favourite scripting language and it does wonders. JS has become a joy to use with ES6.

Worked out perfectly fine for me. My provider is one of the cheapest available in Austria and they recently sent me a message to let me know that I now pay the same for phone calls and mobile internet in other EU countries.

I believe there was a discussion about this in one particular open source project because someone found that the binaries of a proprietary software project contained lots and lots of symbols that were identical to that of the open source pr

I'm a bit sceptic of this claim. You can also produce acceleration structures for reasterized polygons, create hierachical level of detail representations of your scene and render whatever LOD is necessary. This reduces the number of p

It's not that it's confusing, rather it's unnecesarrely cumbersome because it's explicit and because you have to put it as an argument. Looking at the "most used words" [1] list of python, self is the #1 used w

> implicit type conversion Yes, defenitely one of the biggest problems. However, after switching to === and never using == again, I've found that it's easy to avoid implicit conversions and I haven't had a problem with it

With ES6, the only thing I'm missing in Javascript is static typing. Other than that, it has become a very nice language. There are some ugly sides, as in every language, but for the most part you can simply opt out of using these part

Might as well use Cobol then, if you're that syntax agnostic. I, on the other hand, can't stand the syntax of python or COBOL and it's one of the major reasons I avoid these languages.

It's a small european country and easy to get the bike out of it. Unless absolutely every country adopts this system, it will remain useless.

We have/had something similar in my city. It does nothing to prevent bike theft or getting your stolen bike back.

For floats, 1.0 / 0.0 produces Infinity according to the IEEE standard. I prefer it that way because it perfectly makes sense for the algorithms I usually deal with and having to check whether the denominator is zero or not makes code
450.
by mschuetz 10y ago
I'm in favour of 1.0 / 0.0 = Infinity, as in the current IEEE floating point standard. It makes much more sense with many algorithms. Checking whether the denominator is 0 or not costs time and unnecessarely bloats the code.
