Maybe mentions of all the crucial peripherals would have been relevant. The enormous storage capacity, the networks, high resolution displays and sophisticated interfaces.

Just curious, what kinds of apps use 100+ database tables? I don't know too much about this stuff.

The section on "companies in the top 10 decade to decade" seemed to be a very weak argument to me. Reminded me of reasoning sometimes used by cryptocurrency investors "it crash 3 times and recovered, therefore it's guara

At my university's astronomy dept we've developed gpu software and used it to discover many new objects in the kuiper belt. It's robust enough that it can also be used to detect airplanes. https://github.com/D

I recently wrote up an explanation of the way procedural generation works, and compiled a list of interesting live demos! Repo even contains some simple code to experiment with :) https://github.com/Computer-Graphics-And-P

Space engine doesn't have nbody or collisions yet, but if you want to explore a beautifully rendered and endlessly exolorable universe, highly recommend space engine. It's also developed almost entirely by a single guy in Russia.

Choosing the "desktop version" option in your mobile browser is a workaround. Should really be supported by default on mobile though

Factorio is probably the most satisfying game I've ever played. Amazingly challenging but has a wonderful feeling of accomplishment when building things. Don't mind the graphics, it's a lot of fun :)

Nuclear power is actually safer (joules generated per deaths caused) than fossil fuel power generation. That's with old fashioned reactors, and if you include deaths caused by fossil fuel pollution the issue of safety is far from argua

I'm a fan of evolutionary algorithms, but are they really effective enough here to be comparable to an engineer tuning code? They might be able to find a good configuration of a few canned options but real optimization often requires s

A very important aspect of DNA as code the heavy use of macros. The code itself heavily influences the expression of other parts of the code.

Pretty clever! Definitely possible to beat by changing the way video is compressed/transmitted, but perhaps not without a performance loss

Ok so what if in that entire scenario above you replace "beanie baby" with "printed slip for a wallet containing 1 BTC". The value stored in cryptocurrencies do actually have a physical manifestation (whether it's t

Exactly! The "limited supply" argument for the value cryptocurrency totally ignores the fact that anyone can fork or create a brand new token every day of the week. Nothing like gold or any assets tied to the physical world.

Compute shaders are not supported in webgl, but is possible to perform vector operations by rendering to a texture with the fragment shader. It's basically a hack. The trick is rendering an image without putting it on the screen, stori

If anyone wants the "old" bitcoin back, there are plenty of altcoins that are still worthless! If you want a less popular coin you can even fork btc or anything else, that's the beauty of software. Nothing has changed. Bitc

Blockchain =! Internet Proponents of bitcoin as well as skeptics love to compare bitcoin to the internet. A skeptic will say "bitcoin is in a bubble, it has to burst because the dot com bubble did". Then a supporter will rebut say

Near the bottom he does show the results of running it on 100-D Rastrigin (and mnist before that) with stats and plots. Or do you mean something more complex even than that?

The code for these is really short and elegant! Keep in mind when you want to make some graphics that aren't owned by the "king", the much more powerful (though some boilerplate is required) open source libraries like p5.js a

This seems like an unreasonable approach given the quality of their graphics. They might as well train an GAN to replace the entire rendering pipeline if they are using just simple images! Train it to generate images directly from pose info
