Security does not depend on code review. They have stronger sandboxing and have granular permissions that the user must allow. My point is running untrusted code securely should be…

I don't understand the push to make the browser a tool for securely running general purpose applications. This is the job of the OS. We keep building layers on top of layers of abs…

> The web is fascinating: we started with a seemingly insane proposition that we could let anyone run complex programs on your machine without causing profound security issues. Isn…

physics is not easy. its pretty challenging and has unending scope. audio can also have unending scope if you want to do physically simulated Spatial Audio. Im not sure if AI/pathf…

yep, Im not saying its a bad design or a dealbreaker it is probably find for the vast majority of games and can provide a nice api for people coming from web games.

animation blending isn't that bad. If you have a two poses represented as lists of quaternions and positions, all you have to do slerp between the quaternions and lerp between the …

does anyone know if densified wood can be used as exterior cladding? Does it handle moisture/sun etc well?

Speaking of async coroutines, my belief is that they don't get used enough in other game engines because their lifetimes are not tied to anything - you have this danger where they …

Because we can't opt out of taxes that fund this. If it is clearly personal and you do not have an objective answer then let this be a cause we can choose to donate to based on our…

Agreed, engineering is about building stuff, not making discoveries about how the universe/existence works. Engineering often results in scientific discoveries but this is incident…

Mathematics isn’t a science, it seperate thing entirely. Science is about trying to understand how the real world works. Make falsifiable hypothesis then do repeatable experiment d…

Why don’t we just burn plastic for energy. We burn hydrocarbons for energy anyway, why not substitute some coal for plastic waste. Not an expert on this matter but I am pretty sure…

Please change electric to battery powered... I don't think the largest mining trucks are battery powered. They have diesel generators that power an electric drivetrain.

I watched this talk a while ago and it initially blew my mind and made me very upset with the state of OSDEV. The speaker basically says OSDEV ignores the reality of modern compute…

Code can be parsed into an abstract syntax tree. Structural editing is editing code at the tree level. You probably already do it using expand/shrink selection. If you have a selec…

Most VIM proponents mention the power of VIM's editing grammar as a selling point. I think the idea of having an editing grammar is good but VIM does it at the wrong level; text, i…

I tried switching from jetbrains to various modal editors (neovim, doom-emacs, kakoune, helix). The fast startup time and continuity when working in a terminal environment was very…

> Breaking backward compatibility ought to be considered the cardinal sin of open source/free software, and they get away with it too much. It depends? It's not like there is any a…

You can beat physics. Big cars means more energy to dissipate in a crash. If the regulators had half a brain they would of taxed cars based on volume + mass. Large cars also reduce…

Being concise and to-the-point is just as important as using simple English. That blog post is too long for the ideas it conveys (kinda ironic?). Here are some things I found tirin…
