Reading stuff like this and people's reactions to it makes me want to retire from breathing.

Sounds like you have two happy well-adjusted friends?

Not really. Besides the problems with ringing outlined in the post, the number of coefficients required to capture higher frequency detail grows quadratically, requiring not only m…

Author here. Please let me know if the sample code doesn't work for you. It's all single threaded dumb JavaScript which makes it very easy to read, but definitely not performant. I…

I don't think that is true.

you literally don't have to. you can literally just keep doing your job the way that you always have.

I don't know, I'm not convinced with this argument. The "ugly" version with the switch seems much preferable to me. It's simple, works, has way less moving parts and does not requi…

sucks that opera is no longer with us. used to be my go-to browser before Firefox and eventually chrome...

I have really just one wish when it comes to syntax: no syntactically significant whitespace. Space, newline, tab, etc. should ALL map to the same exact token. In practice this als…

the "porn" angle is very funny to me, since there is nothing pornographic or inapropriate about the image. when I was young, I used to think it was some researcher's wife whom he l…

Everybody knows that. The GP's reaction is what perplexes me. Are they saying the name of the story is inappropriate? I think it's very appropriate.

when you read this and its follow-up "driver" as a commentary on how capitalism removes persons from their humanity, it's as relevant as it was on day one. good sci fi is rarely ab…

could you be more specific?
