Yeah, you have to simulate the attenuation from different directions - HRTFs (head related transfer functions)[1] are used to do this. They're already supported by some games, and …

That's already possible - Apex[0] provides a shim for running golang and Rust, and I'm running headless chrome on Lambda to take screenshots right now (see [1] for an example). [0]…

What happens if you need to alter the color of a texture that's been loaded? For example, if you want to do diffuse shading on a sphere with a texture mapped to it. Do you first ne…

I thought about that, but some of the results I found on Google suggest that output from WebGL shaders is supposed to be in a linear color space [0] [1]. Then again, some of the co…

This is pretty cool. I've written a couple of toy ray tracers, but always in a language that runs on a CPU, so it's interesting to see how you would do it on a GPU. And I noticed t…

How you do in technical interviews often has little to do with how good of a programmer you are. Modern technical interviews (in Silicon Valley, at least) tend to focus on a certai…

Could you use emscripten and just run bash in the browser?

It's been my opinion for a while that the "meaning" in a work of art or in the sentences we use to communicate is found where it differs from the established pattern. For example, …

Not everybody targets all their code for the web.

It's an improvement in the sense that it's more general; you can loop through any container that implements that protocol, which most (if not all) of the STL containers do. For exa…
