What type of light do people recommend one purchase to counteract this?

SDF 2D fields are fun though. Give you can create them from any cubic curve and it gives you offsets from it. https://www.iquilezles.org/www/articles/distfunctions2d/dist... If you…

Tablets are important, so native apps for tablets makes sense if you think this is the main device people will use. ProCreate, Autodesk Sketchbook, etc. live on the tablet and nati…

> The GPU’s hardware-implemented tessellation is (a) not compatible enough. I am unsure why we are talking about GPU-based tesselation again. I said do it on the CPU in my comment …

The video I linked to in my original post was directly relevant to this other take on Peter Pan and philosophy. I'd like to understand why my comment is being downvoted by you and …

I think you can tessellation on the CPU in an adaptive fashion (e.g. based on curvature or similar) and update that on a per frame (add, remove tessellation points) basis rather th…

Peter Pan figures big in Jordan Petersons lectures. Here is one sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-ckxQSutO4

Amazing, but this really should be a web-based app and not desktop based. Or a hybrid strategy where the desktop-based app is actually running JavaScript in an Electron shell or so…

Are you using BTC as a currency? What was the last thing you bought using BTC directly? Does it meet the 10 characteristics here? https://simplicable.com/new/money I think that few…

BTC is designed to be highly limited in supply and thus all prices denominated in BTC should drop over time by design of the currency. Everything else in society, if it was all on …

> Aaand you just moved the goal posts. Notice how you switched your argument from "currency" to "good currency". So dishonest. I think you want a binary world where things are eith…

> Is Bolivar not a currency then? It doesn't meet the requirements of a good currency. There is hyper inflation and they have redenominated it a few times now and are planning on d…

No one knows... I was being facetious in my earlier comment.

You want stability. There are many ways to achieve that. Your example above shows a 1% swing -- which is nothing. Yesterday BTC dropped by 14-18% depending on how you define it. Im…

Hindsight? I am pretty sure that is what people are using for the definition. If the new high didn't hold, it was speculative, if it did hold and it went up further, it was its nor…

Wait, is BTC really only doing 4 transactions a second? I knew it was bad, but I didn't realize this bad. Bitcoin is like a 1960s mainframe computer in an old bank headquarters tha…

"Crash" of an asset/currency is always against other assets/currency -- you need to define what its comparable otherwise you can not measure it. Was it a "crash" though in scope? B…

Which is why BTC is an asset and not a currency. Currencies need stability of value so that everyone doesn't have to update their prices ever few hours: https://simplicable.com/new…

That never holds. Arbitrage will cause prices for goods to be equal in USD and BTC. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/arbitrage.asp Unless you control the whole market via price…

Borax doesn’t do that. It actually affects the nervous system of insects, see here: https://homeguides.sfgate.com/insects-borax-chase-away-kill-... I think you are thinking of sili…

Another solution is the spray them with isopropyl alcohol. I do this with sandals if they ever start to smell. Works great. Smells for a bit while it evaporates but then it is fine…

100%. Pawnshops are basically high interest collateral loan shops. This is saying that Amazon is a fencing operation. But then again this has been a major use for eBay and similar …

50% chance it is actually legit and Banksy is just trolling this guy - because that is what Banksy does.
