Yeah; say for example you're trying to recognize a swipe with a certain velocity on a touchscreen: def touchDown(): velocity = 0 lastTime = now def touchMoved(from, to): velocity = (to - from) / (

If x is an array of input samples and y is an array of output samples, a simple FIR filter might look like: y[t] = a*x[t] + b*x[t-1] Whereas a simple IIR filter might look like: y[t] = a*x[t] + b*y[t-1] In the first equation,

My point didn't have anything to do with birds in particular. You can think about a cat planning how to pounce on a bird instead if you want. The pouncing cat is thinking in terms of its body, the space around it, and the movement of

The amount of paper in the universe is finite, not countably infinite, which means almost all natural numbers can't be written down either. But despite its philosophical dubiousness, the set of natural numbers is still useful. If we

Say you're drawing a picture, paying attention to what looks good or not and making small corrections. You're thinking in terms of the picture, not in terms of a language. Say you're playing basketball. You're thinking

The beauty of Forth is that you can write at as low or as high a level as you'd like. I think most Forth programmers would factor out some of these operations into their own words rather than writing such a low-level definition, but t

A somewhat off-the-wall solution to this problem would be to require major versions to start at some arbitrary lower limit much greater than 1. For example, imagine every semantic version started at 123.0.0. It's less of a big deal t

Part of the problem is this industrialist idea of using time efficiently. Where we originally quantified our use of time at work in order to make our managers more money, we now apply this ideology to our entire lives. We don't want

Not all authors will respond to email promptly. And many have retired or even died -- there are decades-old papers still behind paywalls.

Resetting the interval when the delay changes is probably not what you want either -- quickly changing the delay (even a little bit) won't give the timer a chance to fire. It would be better to compute a deadline internally, then move

Native UI systems tend to support more complex event dispatch, which often involves cross-component communication -- look at drag and drop, for example, or the complex exclusion behavior of gesture recognizers on iOS. Carrying an interacti

On the contrary, humans are great at interpreting large amounts of visual data. That's how we can drive without needing lidar in the first place.

I'm looking forward to lidar in human-driven cars. Imagine how cool it would be to see the 3D point cloud on your dashboard or reflected on your windshield as a heads-up display.

It's not just you. Treating the web like a native UI framework, where you can set pixel positions directly to get the perfect layout, isn't going to work. The trick to using CSS effectively is to give up on achieving whatever de

REST doesn't really have anything to do with the HTTP methods you use. It's about handing off state between the client and server using stateless requests instead of maintaining a persistent, stateful session. This blog post is
