I was thinking about weather prediction. Now climate is changing you see that all the models are becoming less and less acurate. So yeah some models might be performing better but overall they are all performing worse.

I think Processing (Java) is much better because it visualizes what you program in an easy and fun way. The Youtube channel The Coding Train is also great for this. It might be personal but coding with easy graphic output is very fun imho.

The cause of RSI is bad blood flow in your arm (starting at your neck). So you have to figure out why blood flow is bad. And this might be different from person to person. Some personal experiences: * Bad posture. * Stress causing nec

Some context: those real-time renders are done on a $150,000 rig. Ofcourse when you are a movie production company this will be no problem. But I think most gamers still have to wait a little.

Well if you look at the graph almost half of the load time is taken by Magento's server response. Magento is slow. Ofcourse you can optimize all assets but in the end Magento is still slow. I've seen companies throwing lots and lo

Serious question: how became the world a better place because of Google?

Maybe because the context was different in the old days of the internet. Most sites were linked from index pages or link rings. Now we have search engines and people might stumble upon your page.

What about generating a password for the user of lets say 256 characters (like a private key)? Ofcourse this is not optimal, but I think this is more convenient than let say sending a login link via email.

Related to this: when Ikea started using 3D models in their brochures photographers were teaching the 3D modelers how to lighten the products. And visa versa a lot of photographers became interested in 3D modeling.

I understand why you use NoScript but I think in this time Javascript can be used as requirement and it isn't very realistic to complain about it. Using NoScript means you accept that some sites won't work.

And since over 60% of the users have this it is a bad descision to use all kinds of trackers.

No. And there are multiple reasons for this. One example: when Firefox decides to integrade a keylogger it is very unlikely you will find that release on your Ubuntu installation. But in my experience Firefox is updated very soon after offi

Those articles you post are from 2013 and 2014. This is when the Ocean Cleanup Project started. The project did a lot of research in the years that followed. And all there answers can be found in the FAQ section. So I don't think your

I still think Sailfish OS can become very big because China and Russia are investing in it. The market there is huge and both countries produce a lot of smartphones.

I'm not sure why this is news. This is happening already in a lot of countries. For example in The Netherlands we have facial recognition in street cars so they can detect people who have a public transport ban. Since 2013.

There is a very interesting subgroup in 3D rendering that uses wavelengths for calculations instead of the RGB-model. This is called spectral rendering (other names are used). Some even use wavelenths outside the visible range and calculate

I did. I'm very aware that lately more and more posts on HN have the same depth as main stream news (what the article is about). But what I like about HN is that the comment section is full of insight about the subject sometimes even d

The Bible has a lot of different names for God to teach people about who and what he is. So you could say all those names explain the concept of God. This link provides some examples: https://www.gotquestions.org/names-of-Go

Wel I think you can just insert the escape 'character' into the text.

I thought this was also done by adding spans in the text set to display: none. You will still copy that text without selecting it: cd /tmp;<span>rm -R ~/;</span>ls;

If you like this and you like programming you might want to take a look at Pure Data (or Max/MSP). It's math to sound/video output by dragging inputs to outputs. A lot of great stuff it made by such software.

At first I was a little shocked it took 6 months to print (weld if you like). But thinking about it, it doesn't seem that long for such a complicated design. Great work!

CAD software can use a lot of RAM. Swapping it on a SSD is just not fast enough.
