Hah. I've been working on my own engine for over a decade, and I completely relate to this. I've torn it down and rebuilt it a few times, I've got multiple branches of it that are built for specific things... but when I want

ok, I'm making an in-app bingo type game for picking the dog of the week for a doggy daycare chain. It uses pixijs and hand crafted animations and particle effects, drawing on a database of a couple hundred thousand dog photos per mont

I wish there were more interest in general in building true deterministic simulations than black boxes that hallucinate and can't show their work.

Those things do show an intergenerational evolution of complex techniques, though, if only by trial and error. Certainly at some level they must have understood the tumor to be the cause of a malady, for instance. Even now we know of drugs

By chance I came across this after yesterday flying for the first time over the eastern edge of the Yucatan. The turqoise color of the water is otherworldly. I love that they draw the comparison, as this pigment really does resemble it!

This is the old made new again. History is cluttered with hucksters who sold some product they hyped as being good for humanity. When you get right down to it, there's a lot of stuff you can do that's good for yourself that isn&#x

Thank you. I am / have been a digital nomad since 2006. Wired Magazine even published an article about us back then in our solar van in Australia trying to find 2G internet. I feel quite old ;) But after all this time, I am still depen

Oh. I couldn't read this all now. But the orange peeling idea demonstrates why it's really important to specify what you mean by a "spiral" and a "list of coordinates". My instinct would have been totally diffe

Yeah, but why would I want to spend any of my time fixing anything on a machine from 2009, when the whole point is that it's a perfectly good system that does what I need when I need it?

I pretty much only use computers to create. If I want to consume, I use a phone or something. I don't consume much. So, like, if I boot up my Air from 2009, it's to write AS3 code and make a demo or something. If I boot up the one

Just to play devil's advocate here... I'm about as extreme a privacy absolutist as you can find. But given that we're all on camera all the time in public spaces, like it or not, I don't consider tracking on digital bi

Funny. But is it somehow impossible to use a computer without downloading untrusted files?

not if you don't download anything you don't trust, and know about every inbound and outbound connection.

I'm surprised... what encouraged you to update MacOS? I'm on the first M1 Macbook from 2020 and have not allowed a single OS update. The first thing I do with a mac is use Little Snitch to block all apple IP addresses, and delete

Very interesting! I've played harp casually all my life without ever really learning about alternate tunings. The Melody Maker sounds like it would open some nifty possibilities! Someone bought me a chromatic harp once as a gift and I

LA to SF doesn't make a lot of sense to me as an overnight route. Suppose you leave at 10pm. You get in at maybe 4am, maybe you got 5 hours of sleep, and have to wait 12 hours to check into a hotel...? 6 hours is maybe justifiable for

Pardon my ignorance, but modern browsers won't even load assets or iframes over plain http within an SSL page. So under normal circumstances you cannot open so much as an iframe to "localhost" from an https url unless you&#x2

Well, consider North Korea. With them there's no "mutual" in the assured destruction to their side if they launched a nuke. How is that less a deterrent?

If anything, the past several months have shown that the Ukrainians will keep fighting without American support, and want to keep fighting, because the only other choice would be surrender and enslavement. Having said that, America and the

Abstractly, when any parallel system scales up large enough without cross checking or waiting between "threads", the cost of de-duplicating and merging the output will probably outweigh the advantage of producing new results in ta

This page on an Android phone displays briefly and then crashes the tab in Chrome, and crashes the entire app in Firefox. Neat trick.

huh. Sorry, but do some languages have SQLite bindings to some other executable? I thought that sql.js and sqlite3 in JS actually were SQLite in its entirety, running in script. You don't need to run anything else to make them work.

That's... pretty amazing. It sounds crazy to me, I'm obsessive about hourly backups, but do you use something like Litestream to keep copies?

Heh. Well, #2, brilliant question. But no, I'm not thinking of anything as sexy as totally distributed filesystems. 15 years ago when I was into crypto and ran a bitcoin casino I would have had much bigger ideas for fully distributed D

That's quite fun to know! Although, it's also funny that I downloaded the demo .acorn files on a Mac and the OS has no idea how to open them without searching the App Store. I feel like a JSON file would be more compact and easier

I'm not sure about this, I may be exaggerating, but aren't all four apps you mentioned (Spotify, WhatsApp, AirBnB, Uber) built on Electron? So they'd be using SQLite in the Node portion as their storage. That's their &qu

I've used sqlite3 in node, and it's nice and performant for small cases, yes. Mostly I've used it for things small enough where a user could download an entire sqlite file of their data, and then re-upload it in case their da
