That's incredibly concise. I see you're perturbing vx and vy randomly and updating location accordingly on every frame. Is the perturbation also per-frame or is that block of code just executed once? Is randomf a floating-point nu

This is really cool. Do you also plan to show the code before compilation / allow it to be edited and be compiled on your demo page?

Your point of view is very clear: it's not a feature you're interested in. But it doesn't mean that it's not a good feature for the person who has opened the issue. Instead of convincing them that it's a bad feature

It's useful to know who they think the book is written for, to get the most out of the book. Books are not individualized, so it's a very difficult ask to publishers and writers to write something in that section that perfectly ap

You're right! Even I tried to post it. This is what I observed: 1. After posting, I'm redirect to https://news.ycombinator.com/newest where the link works 2. I click to open the discussion, now on this page link

1. Would it be correct to describe memoized DOM approach as combination of direct manipulation (like hand-written jquery, or what svelte compiles to) + a mechanism to avoid invoking selectors by caching references to DOM elements? Or is the

I expected it to cost $1, and then I thought "I'd gladly pay $1 for a perpetual licence to a good quality library". Setting aside OSI's definition of OSS, has this been explored as a OSS funding model?

I've always viewed Julia as a language for scientific computing professionals [1]. The article pronounces Julia's death only based on popularity relative to other languages. Yet, it's not clear what the author is comparing it

It's important to note the methodology employed in the original paper used "did not have meaningful structure or variable names" [1]. If the code's like that, then yes it's less like reading a language and more like

But what do you think one gains by serving json instead of serving valid html like a body with just `<data src="actual.json"></data>`? If you can retain full functionality (and hack on your ideas) AND be standards

AOSP is an open source project, which is impractical for any business to run because of apps' reliance on proprietary google play services. Chromium is an open source project, but proprietary chrome has the largest browser market share

This is akin to saying "html5 won't take off". That's what standards are for. Compatibility issues are expected in early stages of implementation.

This is comical. It patents the entire system from HTML forms to get the input to prepare the SQL query, to server sending data as formatted HTML back to client. This has been the bread and butter of PHP for two decades. I'm glad no on
