    Taking a course on OpenGL Graphics programming in university right now. We use GLM. It seems pretty good. If I'm not mistaken this is a (potential) replacement for GLM? If anyone k…

    Why do you bring this up? Is this more ideal? I thought writing inline css was an accepted awful thing to do. Or is that just a simplification for new developers? Why do you benefi…

    Wow, I guess this is what would have happened online during World War II if it happened in modern times. Interesting historic landmark as far as information dissemination during co…

    Maybe my view of NLP is more sci-fi than reality, but I think you're missing what I meant. If you can use NLP to prove that your comment - ie the intent - which IS invisible to the…

    Do you really think the time spend writing a comment is comparable to improving the code? Personally, I can't think of an occasion where that would have been true.

    I don't mean this negatively, but in my experience as a high schooler and in college, the programming crowd tended to be lacking in written (communication) skills. This is certainl…

    Brings up an interesting point about perhaps using natural language processing to determine correctness of a comment. That would be prettty cool.

    So in this article, the author says this is not supported on chrome. But in this stack question [1], chrome is clearly using it. Is the only difference the author is discussing tha…

    Then you misunderstood, or I am perpetually misunderstanding. The comment that I responded to asked for a way to use this product to send actual text messages. He wanted to relay a…

    I mean, I know it's not secure. But I had no clue it was down-vote-not-secure!

    It could be a whole lot simpler than this. (And a whole less secure.) In high school I had a server running that scanned email for a keyword and my cellphone number; I didn't have …

    Could you elaborate on why you think it would be a good HDL?

    The biggest problem I've had with bootstrap is that it is so large. There is so much overhead. My company is working on a project and it would have taken a ton of work to port to b…

    Ok! Interesting. Are web workers gaining traction? This is the first time I've heard of them. Are there any major users/libraries that depend on ww?

    Hm, could somebody explain the multi-threaded part to me? I'm a little confused. I didn't think multiple threads were possible in js. Furthermore, does this only work on Firefox?

    No I agree. As soon as I heard the music I instantly started thinking about it. "Is music always this distracting? Is this louder than normal? What is he saying. Oh well, I'm sure …
