Peak "lifelessness era" was arguably the early 2010s. At the time there were leaps in graphical fidelity every year, and celebrity mocap and voice acting was a thing. Mechanisms like regenerating health were very popular to create

I'm not trying to be sarcastic, in my experience my definition is actually spot on. My opinion on the conflict in Ukraine is that one crooked state is fighting another, each side is fighting dirty, and neither side deserves my tax mone

Little known fact! "Whataboutism" is an expression in English which means "I realize your example undercuts my argument, for it reveals it is not based on consistent, defensible principles, so I will just slap a label on it a

Clicking "reject all" isn't sufficient though. In many cases you need to go into some sub-tab and click "object all" to legitimate interest, or even uncheck a bunch of individual checkboxes that default to on. This

Use.GPU handles this just fine: it uses a subpixel SDF mask with a plain color image. You get crisp edges, just the interior is a bit blurry.

I don't know why I would replace JS code I can quickly mod and extend with a stack I have to compile and write in a whole different language in. How am I supposed to ship plugins for these new rustified frameworks and build systems?

A canonical lerp is a linear interpolation. What this post describes is repeated linear interpolation towards a target with a fixed interpolation ratio, i.e. exponential averaging aka a 1 pole lowpass filter. A more serious treatment of the

Your sheer, naked bias that only men abuse children and partners while women always protect them... while simultaneously questioning established narratives. Phew. That takes a special kind of stupid.

Is this a satirical comment about how people try to inject blatant guilt by association under the guise of "context"?

I'm personally horrified that the normal response to this isn't "if I catch you using ChatGPT again, you're fired". What are you paying people for if not their unique contributions? What do they think they're d

Ebooks are a joke to this day as a result. Complex layout, formulas, navigation, ... the bar is set low at being a poor imitation of a paper book. Movies and TV have turned into subscription fatigue and content so bland they are now turning

Being able to handle arbitrarily polygons isn't insane complexity, it's actually the minimum viable complexity needed to handle any basic shape a user might want to use. Limiting them to a handful of precomputed ones is the kind o

Pfft. AngularJS 1.0 was the first time I felt I could try to build a real quality app with web tech without going crazy. Then I hit the wall with its crusty 2-way binding system, learned react, and never looked back. Now I can do state mani

The example of using shape area seems like a poor choice. First off, the number of problems where having an analytical measure of shape area is important is pretty small by itself. Second, if you do need to calculate area of arbitrary shape

The point is that adding "context" to an initiative by associating it with fringe politics with negative connotations does not illuminate much at all... and in particular, after the last 3 years, people should be very careful to t

Hmm, this is a fun game. "To add some context, the group that promoted this initiative is a fringe ultraprogressive one. Among other things, in 2020 they were first calling border closures racist, then denying the harmful effects of lo

Good interfaces have 1 to 1 mappings between the available levers and the user's model of the tasks they wish and need to perform. Bad interfaces require you to care about implementation details that are arbitrary. Like whether the ind

This is a lesson about mental models. From the brew devs' point of view it doesn't make sense because they are different commands. From the end user's point of view it makes perfect sense because brew is just a tool to instal
