About evenly spread both sides of the Iron curtain, I’d say. Lots of demoscene in eg Germany, Scandinavia too. Netherlands, UK and France also have sizeable (though smaller) scenes.

Just to clarify for readers who didn't read the interview, not a live set, it’s a 64kb demo that looks and feels like a recording of a livecoding competition. So “live set demo” is technically correct because it’s a “live set” themed d

Appreciate your response. I think I agree with all of it, great points.

Does anyone understand why people do this? I mean, really why? It's similar to eg climate protestors quoting all kinds of outrageously incorrect statistics as fact, or saying that $TECH can supply "4% of all households" with

Just to add to a sibling comment, they are optional and not in a “optional but if you dont use them it really sucks” kind of way. The Lit authors tried hard to use vanilla JS everywhere they could, and it shows.

Wow thanks, this makes so much sense! I spent way too many brain cycles wondering about that button when I was a teenager.

can you elaborate a bit? how do you use d3 but not have it render svgs?

Cool story! If I may rant off topic a bit though, it boggles my mind that people put stuff like this: > [This patch] fills holes in executable sections with 0xd4 (ARM) or 0xef (MIPS). These trap instructions were suggested by Theo de Ra

I feel like the JS community solved this problem by and large by standardizing on Prettier. Love it or hate it, there's nearly no discussions of the kind the article is about anymore. Have an opinion about automatic semicolon injection

It’s… just the common name for this way of getting things done (as far as I know at least). Propose something preposterous, so drama ensues and it gets watered down, but in the end you still get more than you would’ve otherwise. I believe t

It's standard Trumpian negotiation. Ban lots of books, outrage ensues, courts get involved, some books get unbanned. But not all!

I agree with you but I don’t think your confrontational tone is helpful. I think this comment does roughly the same thing, better: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44890782

Personally I feel like the big thing to come out of rationalism is the insight that, in Scott Alexander's words [0] (freely after Julia Galef), > Of the fifty-odd biases discovered by Kahneman, Tversky, and their successors, forty-

Hahaah yeah true. If I had been commenting earlier I might’ve written “lol rationalists”

This article is beautifully written, and it's full of proper original research. I'm sad that most comments so far are knee-jerk "lol rationalists" type responses. I haven't seen any comment yet that isn't alrea

You'd enjoy the Finnish language, which has separate words for OR and XOR (and also has only one word for he/she/xe/etc, as a bonus)

I do. Google Drive is not an option to me because I don't trust Google at all, ie when some Google robot decides to lock me out of my account for unspecified reasons, I can't talk to a human to resolve it etc. The idea of putting

I'm not a native English speaker, but to me "try and" has always conveyed a sense of more deliberate trying, of getting over yourself, in the sense that the "try" means the choice to give it a real proper go. So fir

Yes and I was responding solely to your expansion, which I believe is inapplicable here.

Yeah it lets you put code that goes in "catch" all over your function body, right next to where it's most relevant. It lets you go "hm but what about errors? ah handled! ok i can forget about it" when reading a func

Seconded, Hey Duggee is a fantastic show. In a way it's the anti-Bluey - same delightful vibes, just as playfully animated, but intentionally ridiculous (and, to me, hilarious) stories.

why not? if you control the font and the font size then can't you have harfbuzz tell you how wide each glyph is going to be, and it'll fit precisely? (assuming the browser also uses harfbuzz for this, which it does)
