If it's in orbit, yes. I thought the discussion was based on something sitting on the surface of the Earth.

But, ignoring things like air resistance, the lower the thrust is, the more delta-V/energy it takes to escape? For instance, if you had a rocket with a fixed delta-V and it used al…

I've been tracking a number of differences between how browsers render Canvas content: http://jonathan-olson.com/notes/canvas-browser-specific-quir... , and take advantage of it to…

It's somewhat similar to a Flash-only website, since it has less support and most notably lacks many of the features HTML makes easy (search engine indexing, browser search-and-fin…

Sorry about that! I had someone else report that it fails across all browsers with the HD4400.

Sorry about that! Do you mind if I ask what browser and/or graphics card caused this?

I just checked http://www.browserleaks.com/webgl on Win 7, and Firefox 30's ANGLE uses Direct3D 9, whereas Chrome's Canary (v38, best performance) uses Angle with Direct3D 11. Fire…

I've done some similar implementations years ago (but with C/OCaml, nothing on the GPU), so I didn't refer to many things for this. Fresnel reflectance is based off of http://mathi…

Thanks!

Author here! It's very true that the GPU does the heavy lifting, although I'm not sure exactly where an "in the browser" line could be drawn (conceptually any page uses the browser…

Seems like it might make people more likely to run into camouflaged obstacles (particularly those vision-impaired). Imagine running through a park at night with camouflaged electri…

Taking test-driven development too literally?

I haven't seen it mentioned, but working for a university project funded by public and/or private grants (in my case for free educational software) is working quite well.

Very nice! I'm also working on a similar scene graph (Canvas/SVG, WebGL soon), which also has bounds, DAG-support, and implicitly inserts the needed layers for performance ( http:/…

It can also make UI code much more readable, but it also comes with the cost of making the bytecode much larger (each use of the double-brace initialization creates a new class).

So if 12 parents let their children play with knives (and the children were harmed) like the 12 instances for Buckyballs, we should ban all knives? It seems like parents ignoring w…

Any chance you have a NA account?

Typing in a particular phrase in the Google search box won't delete all of your mail and files, so you could think of it as a "safer" or "immutable" shell. CLI in contrast can modi…

You are especially unkillable if you pick a very defensible location, like "mount evans"
