Thank you for playing Wing Commander! :-) Hits the same nerve for me.

I've been using MoneyMoney for over 12 years now (started Nov. 2013) on Mac and have never regretted it. I am automatically importing from all my bank accounts, including all state…

Pretty much on point. I liked it. You're a seasoned freelance software consultant with a deep passion for C++ and computer vision. Your contributions on HN are a mix of technical i…

Isn’t arcball rotation the gold standard for rotating 3d objects?

My rule of thumb for code comments is to comment what's not in the code.

As pointed out in my other comment, using a single image for point coloring is prone to errors due to noise, specular reflection and occlusion. I'd consider using a (normalized) cr…

I don't know about you people, but this whole twitter thread pretty much sums up why I don't bother engaging too much in online communities whatsoever. I don't care what happened t…

I understand the criticism alongside _if you know one, two programming languages, then you know it all_. However, what seems to be overlooked at times is that there are different c…
