There are great deterministic random number generators, like: https://preshing.com/20121224/how-to-generate-a-sequence-of-... Can be used to shuffle a billion points per second on the GPU with sufficient randomness for

Two reasons why I can't do my stuff with CUDA even though I've got thousands of work packages that are independent of each other: * I'm splitting data sets into batches of around 50-300MB, but each individual batch must be pr

I wish every OS had comprehensive sandboxing so that you could just run any untrusted and potentially mallicious executable from the web and enable and disable features at will.

Most articles end up being a discussion of only what the title says, and not being able to read the articles is one of the reasons.

That is fine, I just wanted to give another perspective why people only read the title and not articles.

adblockers are a non-negotiable necessity nowadays. not due to ads, but due to tracking.

I literally can't read most articles due do adblock blocker or because they block european visitors.

It's been many years since I've used it the last time but I can remember that even the simplest tasks required googling and actively remembering how they were done because nothing was intuitive or logical. And the layer system was

I don't to digital painting and art and I still prefer Krita. Although prefer is the wrong term, I despise GIMPs botched, unituitive and cumbersome UI so much, I'd rather code a figure in html/javascript and canvas or svg, be

Discord has(had?) the worst account management system I've ever experienced. I've never seen a site that makes it so hard to log in/sign up/reset passwords, etc. I think it was fixed for the most part now but I'm st

I can highly recommend altap salamander. It's an incredibly useful two panel file manager. You can switch between detail view and a big picture preview with alt+3 and alt+5. You can select folders/files with space, and in case of

I think the most important thing to do with RTX will be indirect illumination. Maybe RTX will be capable of computing relatively high quality lightmaps on the fly, store the results for as long as necessary, and keep recomputing for new par

You'll never get faster code out of JS, though. Language design matters a lot.

I forgot most of the details already but as far as I remember, some classes of splines are 4 dimensional constructs that are then projected to 3 dimension to get your 3d spline curve.

My LOD 3D models still take ~10ms per batch to load from binary file in Firefox, whereas Chrome needs ~1ms per batch. Mostly because of DataView but Mozilla recently assigned someone to work on it so I'm hopefull for the future.

File formats for georeferenced data also regularly store coordinates as 32 bit ints, with a scaling argument that can be used to convert the integer into a double precision number with a specific unit. E.g. your scene unit is meters and you

Tripadvisor has become pretty bad anyway. There are so many great experiences in any new city, but Tripadvisor is pushing hard on the ones that benefit them, rather than me.

Ah thanks, I've got the bad habit of not opening articles anymore since most of them prevent ad blockers or demand tracking rights with obnoxious page filling popups, nowadays.

What I'd be interested in are some graphs that compare deaths of January, February, March and April for 2018, 2019 and 2020. To see the expected trend from 2018/19 and the reality of 2020.

I wish I could recommend Firefox but I can't because it cripples performance of the things I'm working on, namely streaming and rendering large 3D data. I'm using Firefox privately at home but for work, including work@home, I

Shuffling 100 million points per second (probably much more if it wasn't both, disc IO and CPU->GPU transfer limited), and shuffling in general if you want to maintain high throughput. e.g.: https://bit.ly/2zcUzJq

I like the absolute numbers. "Less than 1/12" lacks important information: less than xx of what?

Already using rollup as a replacement for Webpack, but it seems to lag behind from time to time. Couldn't use certain new javascript features right away since it would throw an error.

Every separate package adds overhead and another maintainer that you've got to put your trust in. I'd rather have few packages of well trusted maintainers instead of a thousand packages from god knows who. Personally, I've ma

Because pre-C++11 is a nightmare to work with, but since C++11 and especially C++17, it became a somewhat enjoyable language. Similarly, pre-ES6 javascript is utter crap, but since then it became quite nice.
