Python 2 and Python 3 are not the same languages. They are neither backwards nor forwards compatible. Both versions are the current version of "A python flavored language" with one (2) being used everywhere, and the other (3) being somewhat

Can you shoot me an email to pyalot@gmail.com I'm probably gonna write a conformance test for it eventually, but since it works on my 3 platforms (mbp, ubuntu 12.04, win7) I'll need some help figuring out how to write one that reproduces it

I agree 100%. But I would rephrase it slightly: - Failing to deliver news to your website (for whatever reason): Just a failure, as in, you failed, period. - News App: not a substitute for doing your job (delivering news to your website), n

Right, got it. That was a small error in the auto update on addPoint check, index off by 1: https://github.com/pyalot/webgl-heatmap/commit/8d04627cba4a3... Example/blog post is updated. Let me know if that fixes the issue for you.

That's an interesting bug. - Does it work in chrome? (please state chrome version) - Do you have any error on the javascript console (ctrl+shift+k in firefox, ctrl+shift+j in chrome). - What GPU/driver are you using? - Please paste the cont

Nope. That's the idea. The library gives you a high performance drawing engine. What you feed it is up to the respective use-case.

- Please post documentation on flash being able to on-line compile. - Both Direct3D and OpenGL (any variant) are moving away from requiring people to supply bytecode (or native code) to an on-line compile model of a high level language. Sta

Brandon Jones does a bit of Unity 3D exporting to WebGL, you should read up on his blog: http://blog.tojicode.com/ I've heard rumors Unity 3D is thinking of a full blown WebGL exporter as well, no idea if real/soon/at-all.

There was a bug ticket about that a while back: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=162634 If you still have the problem you should note down your GPU, driver/version and OS/version and comment on that ticket. I will follow

I did say that I won't talk about the gotchas in this article up front though :) It's already a wall of text, I think it's better to pick one topic and limit its scope for one post.

I have, intensely. Yet I came to believe that the root cause (the external situation, real, perceived or otherwise) and the emotional reaction to it (self-doubt, depression, sense of failure) do not need to be intimately connected. In other

That assumes that a compelling argument can be made that all the legacy stuff you have can be made to work with it. Which it can't. - No application you've written to date will run on it - No application you're now going to write will run o

WinRT/WinPhone are not B2B OSes. B2B lives off the ability of a business to deploy their inhouse software that they (or somebody they contracted like Accenture) deploys on their infrastructure. A lot of these applications did move to the In

The accepted answer to this question nailed it. Btw. this post should be labelled "Why a boss should not always listen to his junior programmers" :)

Just wanted to mention that my demo (Deferred Irradiance Volumes) is not three.js. The credits for it would be http://codeflow.org/ (but don't worry, I've put that link on the demo long ago anyway). Fortunately I've fixed a bug with the d

There are two problems with callback based frameworks. #1 In python specifically, we do not have proper closure and no anonymous blocks, this makes operating it tedious as the definition of the logic for a callback is always somewhere else

Deferred processing is fine, until it isn't. For instance it's fine for things that don't have a lot of non-local changes, such as addition, subtration, multiplication, etc. as in brightness, contrast, compositing and so on. It breaks down

There are other limits you'll hit long before you'll hit the computers raw storage capabilities. CPU <-> RAM access takes time, CPU <-> Disk access takes ages compared. As your dataset grows you'll exhaust page caches, cpu c

In and Out of context, there's no such thing as instant and unlimited. There might be fast, and there might be a lot, and there might be faster and more than you usually need. But I repeat, stop claiming utter nonesense.

Right, unlimited everything, got it. /me wonders why he even tries to point out the folly to people with no clue about how computers work...

Sorry to burst your bubble, if you think there's such a thing as unlimited and instant you're sorely mistaken. It might've been fast in simple cases compared to the alternatives, but there's no two ways about it that all computation takes t

Becoming better isn't the same as becoming great. I don't think there is such a thing as an identifiable personality trait, not in the way you mean it. Yet I'll propose to you a simple proof of two points. The first point is that there is m

It's a fact that you cannot become better at something without doing it. But it is not guaranteed that you become better at something because you're doing it. The personality traits that let you become a great writer or programmer are not i

Let's clear some facts first: - You're not born a programmer, there's no such thing as "talented" - Different people have wildly different levels of skill/proficiency in programming. - Skill in programming invariably takes time to acquire,

The purpose of a captcha (as flawed as the concept may be) is to filter out spam (comments etc.) The idea behind a traditional captcha is to present a task that is easy for a human to solve (ha-ha) but hard for a computer. As far as I can t
