Thanks for the reply. I was really drunk when posting this, sorry :) I know how things are done in different languages. The thing that stumped "drunk me" was how much harder it would be to explain them. "sober me" realiz

Hah, I did almost the same thing recently! Precision and rounding was not that important though so i just went with log2 to get the exponent, normalize and cast to int to get the mantissa. Then I realized I could do it properly by just usin

Small bug report: This works very poorly (not useable) in Chrome Version 21.0.1180.90, which is the last one available on macosx 10.5. You probably want to fall back to form fields on untested browsers.

This issue just does not pass the rubber hose test. If the NSA wanted and got a backdoor in intel chips there are so many better ways to do it than introducing a bad hw rng. If you wanted one exploit in the chip, why would you pick a hard t

I like the API style! Some questions I did not see an immediate answer to on the site: - does it deploy to apps (cordova?) - what about sound? - what's the browse compatibility? (desktop/mobile)

I really like your Utopia but it is missing many things in my opinion. Mozilla is a luxury afforded by Google finance wise. There are much darker futures ahead as well. The entire rise of the Company over the State is rather scary. Arguably

As I put in the first sentence, I might be missing a lot there. Could you please point me to the definition you are referring to? I probably did not express myself very well. And I already learned a bit by thinking about this differently. Y

Don't under sell CircuitLab! I thought it was the only cool and useful engineering project of the batch! You actually have deep technical skills that are not easy to replicate. And you can go both ways: web based, educational, makers or go

Hm. maybe I am missing a lot there, so I would be happy for people to correct me. But in my book a linked list is like a worst case to make "lock free". For me the first step to make something lock free is that all the frequent operations o

Disclaimer: I worked on the original Flash version of this same demo two years ago. Big congratulations to Mozilla for pulling this off. Feels good to have such a great demo, doesn't it? :) But a lot of the credit also needs to go to Epic f

There are some big mistakes about Flash Stage3D which makes an article that pretends to be an informed overview very suspect. Stage3D allows dynamic shaders even more than any other platform and does work very well on mobile via AIR. WebGL

Not quite that simple. Google does at least partially own the platform and made a lot of noise about html being a better platform for being open before. Everybody else just makes a business decision what they need to support. Native, Flash
