I came here to say exactly this. Delighted that it’s the top comment (or at least it was when I saw it!). Other examples are Parry (ap Harri), and Pugh (ap Huw) I wonder if there a…

> This is completely false. It's not completely false at all - but it does depend greatly depends on which country you're based in. Where I am, in Spain, your network, and your rep…

For rendering an individual piece, maybe not; but as part of much larger scene with many objects, animation, and rendering effects, it would place an unnecessary burden on the GPU.…

This is explicitly a simulation of ocean waves, and ocean waves do not break.

This reply is very true and should be higher up. Squatting occurs almost exclusively in second residences, abandoned properties, and places reclaimed by the banks, etc. If you can …

No, we can’t explicitly establish that. It is of course true that many squatters do so out of financial necessity, but others do so for other reasons: a lifestyle choice, a politic…

I disagree. Anyone with a basic understanding of how perspective projection matrices work will understand the article, especially with the code samples and equations. (Edit: and an…

I suspect what the author takes joy from is more the satisfaction of learning a new skill. Like many things, bike maintenance eventually becomes a chore. Most of my (many) bikes ov…

This is very Japanese. My experience was that if you ask for help directly from a stranger, they will stammer and be flustered and not be so helpful; but if you stand around and lo…

I suggest, respectfully, that you make an effort to understand the wider context before you make such an aggressive comment. Many people in BCN do not own a car. If they do own one…

Not necessarily, but it doesn’t solve the problem - if you calculate MVP on the CPU with double float precision, when you pass the final matrix to the shader, it will be cast down …

Serious answers (from someone who just raised €10M from European VCs for a pre-revenue, pre-launch company): 1) While US investors can and will invest in Europe, they are more like…

I rarely post on HN, but I’m breaking my silence to say that this app is amazing and I can see it changing my life!

Specialized and other major bike brands spend a lot on R&D. The reason that you can buy a reasonable quality open mold carbon frame direct from Taiwan these days (and rebrand it as…

I think at many (most?) universities, an “hour” of tuition is officially recognized as 50 minutes.

> in-game virtual goods. But as certificates layered on top of collectibles... I'm not so sure. I agree - the problem with most NFTs at the moment is that you can't actually do any…

> If I develop something, I am the owner. Funnily enough, it's precisely this attitude which has led to the creation of the product owner role, and Scrum in general. Most developer…

Step 1: write hello world in console. Step 2: draw the rest of the fucking owl?!

I agree the water was weak point, which is why they didn't spend much time looking at it!

You're better off using Unity for such projects.

Unity pays lip service to AAA but its primary market segment mobile game development (which is nearly half of the entire gaming market).

It is very trendy for Barcelona residents (I am one also) to moan about the MWC or ‘gentrification’. It is less trendy to complain about the relatively low unemployment and well-ma…

Of course they can take a cut, just like any physical copy second hand reseller takes a cut. The trick will be demonstrating ownership of digital goods, which is the industry is be…
