Okay. I've written two separate moving collectors for dynamic language runtimes, as well as done significant work in realtime 3D graphics, and what you're saying mostly smells like…

I don't understand how you can claim that using a GC does not make a language slower and less predictable. Running a GC takes time, pollutes the cache, and is often run at an unpre…

Cool project! I viewed the landing page on mobile (chrome, android) and touching to drag the globe worked once or twice, but stopped working afterwards. The globe would appear to f…

I like this comment. The idea that animations should be able to be picked apart frame by frame and always be coherent doesn't make much sense, because the user will never actually …

Animations are highly effective tools for conveying state information. Consider a toolbar with a mix of enabled and disabled buttons. Hover effects (which I would consider animatio…

In my experience, relying on the compiler to auto vectorize your code is a path fraught with peril. It'll break eventually. If it matters, write the simd yourself. It'll probably b…

That's hella cute

Yeah, like 50 years too late.

This somehow reminds me of the days when the fastest way to deep copy an object in javascript was to round trip through toString. I thought that was gross then, and I think this is…

This should be the top comment

I read an 'i hate myself' post one time where someone encountered a variable named leghands. Obviously, it had once read legendHandles, and had since been helpfully shortened by th…

Love this. As an aside, if the author reads this, did you consider using bitfields for the superposition state (ie, what options are available for a tile)? I did a wfc implementati…

Thanks for your work on Zulip! I have some feedback that's annoyingly non-specific. I used Zulip a few years ago as a contractor. It seemed _fine_, but I didn't love it. Specifical…

Of the three, I only like cars. I'm from Canada, and I like cars for many of the same reasons I like programming. They're complicated, fickle, and go fucking fast when you get ever…

As someone who accidentally discovered the anti-depressive effects of psilocybin in my early 20s, I approve this message!
