   I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion here, but I hate this website's UX. Replying to a comment loads a new page, losing the entire context of the thread. There is no UI to indicate if there's a reply to an earlier comment

   So there was a measurable problem (large bundle size) that they sought out to fix (in addition to upfront loading time). The first thing to do would have been to _not_ engage in SSR, or Angular 2, or any other big architectural change witho

   The answer is already there. If you extend the sequence given in the article longer, the ratio of the number of digits in the rational representation to the decimal representation gets worse, not better, so you know you reached the inflecti

   Eh, I use them and am quite productive with them. Some of the downsides I don't really buy, for example, the argument regarding allocations. In a typical task engine, you're allocating state per task anyways. Sure you could have c

   You buried the lede - the important context is that your site hosted malicious content at one point, regardless of intent. Whether the policy is correct or not, withholding that information in the title isn't doing you any favors.

   Yea, honestly these types of numbers really aren't surprising, but usually when you profile a build and dig into why the build perf was so bad to begin with, you generally find stuff like template abuse, bad header organization, and co

   I wrote a comment in the linked thread as to why I really dislike Unity builds. Some folks make it work for them, and they have some attractive/tempting properties, but I think the siren's call of unity builds should be utterly re

    This is such a HN phenomenon it infuriates me. Read article. Then read comment that misconstrues article to be something completely different, accompanied with loud critique. Read replies all in violent agreement to obviously self-evident s

    USD isn't usable as a last-mile format, so many game engines still use internal formats that facilitate fast edit-time to last-mile format conversion and compression, mainly as a point of pragmatism. There is some slow adoption of USD,

    As someone in and out of the USD ecosystem for years (starting around 2014 or so), this comment is especially hilaruous.

    While writing a quick JSON5 parser, I encountered this old thread of incendiary takes from the HN community on the initial JSON5 proposal. Make of it what you will.

    I do not understand this comment. In what world does "stirring" fluid in a cup imply any sort of dispacement of the cup itself?

    As the other commenter wrote, I was replying directly to the parent and was referring to DirectStorage. I use DirectX apis daily haha

    "Direct" here is more analogous to the Direct as in DirectX and Direct3D.

    This isn't a hit piece. As someone that formerly owned a Tesla, all of this rings true and I was so glad to finally ditch the vehicle back to the second hand market.

    The primary metric I believe is important in evaluating the viability is TA is the number of people that "believe TA works." To the extent that other investors trade based on mystical figures on a chart, the price behavior may sta

    I use git primarily, but if you work on a project that needs to version control data (images, textures, meshes, sky boxes, terrain, etc.), git, even with LFS, is such a terrible experience compared to Perforce.

    Ligatures, IMO, make for a bad coding editor experience. No, I do not want >> parsed as a right shift when it's actually used as two adjacent template delimiters. And no, I'm not okay with the inconsistency that results from

    Yes and then if you read paragraphs 3, 4, 5, etc. there's no substance on what is actually sent. We all know what Wireshark is, and what it can do, but how it was utilized here is up in the air.

    Thanks for the response and all that makes sense. These days, a lot of the LaTeX and TikZ I write is honestly embedded in web and asciidoc content (via custom extensions and a lot of shoestring interprocess scripting) so that seems perfectl

    I'm a long time TikZ user and have been following penrose since the initial video introduction. Really great progress! At this point, what do you think an avid TikZ/dot/pgf user might miss the most when trying Penrose?

    Sigh. This is entirely expected behavior, and in fact, is _necessary_ behavior. If changing signatures in that way continued to allow code to "compile" with reckless abandon, so many things would break. I think before complaining,

    And we would expect this behavior why?
