Honest, genuine question: What about water dripping on the noozle? This is my main reservation with it haha.

Same issue as saying "the [party] didn't immediately respond". It's technically accurate and objective, but to me personally, it has an undertone of pointing out "just another shady way" this entity that'

You're probably at an advantage now, but I think the effort/reward hardly pays out for the newer generation. They'll learn how to deal with this with less effort & time. Remember that the new generation doesn't just

Look at the quadratic bezier fragment shader in https://hhoppe.com/proj/ravg/ might generalize well zo 3d.

Looks interesting! Another interesting paper on this subject is 1. They seem to have a different approach; the one I reference uses a quadratic bezier approximation that is fast for random access graphics such as fragment shaders. This is v

VSCode can also be used more or less effectively though. There are quite a few shortcuts & tricks that can make you 10x more productive, even if maybe it's not as much as vim.

What stands out as odd to me is that CF seems to be pushing away a $10k/month customer. No business can reasonably be expected to accept sudden price changes like that, even if they'd paid, they would've moved away within a

Depends on the mathematical framework you're working with.... there's a genre in theoretical compsci that deals with parallel algorithms, and as a toy example, I remember an O(1) sorting algo (given O(n^2) processors). This exampl

61 pins are used by 1/3rd of all people. So statistically, if I steal 61 debit cards, assuming I have 3 tries, and assuming people choose their own pin, I should be able to get cash off one in expectation.

Textbooks are generally way more carefully made in terms of their presentation, the order of information, their examples. At least in uni, classes that follow a textbook where much nicer to get into for me personally. Why listen to an unmot

It removes the incentive for clients to use cash if a card option is available, makes them more used to paying by card, and hence decreases the competitiveness of merchants that don't offer card at all - until cards become so wide spre

This works well until you accidentally have an if/else branch, then you get hard to track bugs (halting problem in the general case). I'm guessing this is why they don't propose to add this function to the standard: That fact
