I could not agree more. When trying to understand the distinction between "declarative" and "non-declarative" code, I came to the same conclusion: it's all relative.

If you find the right organization that uses the funds effectively, what's with donating your wealth as opposed to creating your own charitable organization? Also, I'm sure the tax…

How do you deal with false negatives when using Hilbert curves for nearest neighbor searches? Based on my limited understanding, points close on space can be far from each other on…

A function f(x) whose growth rate at x is proportional to f(x). So anything where growth rate is proportional to the current value.

Could you compile to wasm, or is there extra work involved in making that possible? One reason I shied away from learning Common Lisp is that none of the popular implementations se…

If that were true, text books wouldn't contain any diagrams. So I think it's fairly uncontroversial to say that there are cases when text is not the best way to incept ideas. So wh…

Canvas already uses double buffering. OffscreenCanvas lets you issue draw commands from a separate thread.

From my understanding, OffscreenCanvas and double buffering are unrelated. OffscreenCanvas just lets you execute draw calls in a separate thread (in a WebWorker). I believe the bro…

Oh that's cool, using fork() to create checkpoints. Thank you again for taking the time to explain!

As bhackett confirmed, you're right about recording at the system library call level. I wasn't sure if it was more of an analogy or only referred to a version of Replay targeting b…

Thanks for the explanation! Do you ever run into performance issues with replaying from the start on each backward step or is this not really in issue in practice? I imagine for mo…

I read the medium post ( https://medium.com/replay-io/how-replay-works-5c9c29580c58 ), which gives an overview of how Replay works, but there are a few things I still don't underst…

I had the same issue; I think the error message is wrong. The reason it's not working is that tracking protection is blocking XHR requests to www.reddit.com. If you disable trackin…

Would an animated SVG work? Might be the best of both worlds, faster user experience and probably a better score.

Currently, WebAssembly doesn't can't directly call any of the browser APIs; it has to call back into javascript to make any network requests, make WebGL calls, read to/write from t…

They didn't ignore that fact, they explicitly mentioned it in the article. > Stern and Rogan are already super rich. The difference between $50mm/year of profit and $100mm means ze…

I wouldn't recommend playing games in an attempt to build mental endurance. I used to play a lot of Starcraft 2 and Dota 2, and it mostly just sapped my motivation for other things…

If your requirement is compiling to native binaries, then perhaps dlang with GC enabled? Admittedly it would be a really poor choice in 2020 though given the lack of adoption. Gola…

I also don't quite understand the appeal of Rust for applications that can tolerate a GC. Other than perhaps borrow checking, I don't see the benefits over statically-typed, GC lan…

I agree that with the rapid change in the language, it's probably premature to standardize on one API for networking. But as a newcomer to Rust, it's really overwhelming when there…

But if a rare, global event like this happens and companies' emergency funds are mostly investments, isn't everyone going to try to liquidate their investments, crashing prices to …

Could you elaborate on your what your stack looks like and what tools you use other than Guix? What made you choose Guix over Nix?

How does the fed determine which corporate bonds to buy and how much it's willing to pay for those bonds?
