Like in particular real time data. This idea of “uploading data” is classified as slow. I’m not interested in preloading. I want a mouse to churn 1k pixels. This “upload to gpu” seems a major bottleneck. Where’s 1000000 particles cannot be interactively controlled

I am a flash guy. I used to do BitmapData fun (wonderfl) which was offly related to “processing”. How can I enter webgl?

Webgl and “shadertoy” is why I am in computing, I am not here for Angular but this is how I make money.

My fascination is pointless processing of pixels and without it I feel bored.

I need to learn webgl but there seems no definite guide.

That isn't true man, I was 23 before I had a GF and anything up until that was when I was ruined on ale and so was the girl and in a way didn't really count.

At the end of the day, if you really want to just have sex just pay for it like everything else in modern society and get it off your chest. Done.

I really didn't know that is what it was. "Heroin" because it is dirty? "Diamorphine" because it is clean?

I got to 500 easy enough, I suggest decent posts.

Points on HN in 2017, is like reddit points in 2012, like 4chan in 2009. It has no value and you sleep like a baby whether hated or otherwise.

No. I don't have a phone. I don't need one. No one in the world at any time for any reason may simply interrupt my current cadence. If it is good news, I can wait, if it is bad news, I can wait. If it is part of a job, I want 20k, (so I don't get issued one).

Having a phone isn't a free pass to letting business into the home that will in the end use your habits to sell you those habits at a premium.

Since TypeScript is a transpiler, couldn't it output a new "MyLittlePony Lang" for example and then WebAssembly from that?

I am still a bit baffled.

I am a TypeScript user and in the article he states:

For instance, instead of compiling TypeScript to JavaScript, its developers could now compile to WebAssembly.

Alright, so I don't need to be a C/C++ dude to get some WebAssembly goodness (maybe some day).

But now with this in my toolbelt. What occurs? What does it mean? If I have a particle simulation in TypeScript on Canvas using Shaders... Now I compile to WebAssembly, but now what? Can I still access Canvas or is Canvas like a 4th dimension? IF I can't use Canvas, how do I render to screen?

I am still playing :D

Dan Bell's Dead Mall Series is oddly depressing and he often gives some back story into their declines.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNz4Un92pGNxQ9vNgmnCx...

A common theme appears to be either struggling footfall or the fact that what I guess are major US anchor stores (Maceys, Sears, KMart) going through tough times. Once the anchors move out, it becomes difficult to run the mall.

Interestingly, in one video, the Mall was half turned into offices, and it had a thriving food hall which I thought was a great idea to keep it relevant. No other dead malls in the series appear to adapt so they become ghost towns then abandoned and later demolished.

A shame really.

Denuvo... I can't remember the game (it was shite) but it got cracked 6 hours before release. You have to laugh especially because it actually did create low FPS so all the actual customers were pissed off.

Same story since the Amiga Days

Also want to show appreciation for your work.

I tried to create a game similar to this (I spent 6 months on it). Very basic Geometry. Circles. I got the concept working well locally, but I ran into problems on how to deal with the networking. I got things running in Node with SocketIO and so on but there could be 400 players, each made of upto 8 moving pieces, and each can fire several times a second.

I spent a lot of time on a book, "Real time collision detection" and generally I have fond memories of the whole project and trying different partition and slicing up space.

However, how to package and deal with this snapshot of world "over the network" or for example "how to smooth any lag relative to the client"... this middle region was largely undocumented or ill accessible to me.

I will look forward to when/if you write any thoughts.

I honestly just expected better from HackerNews folks. I am not irritated oh_sigh, I am just very disappointed.

Can you tell me about all the useful features it has which you use? I am just curious.

It completely baffles me as well, It is hard to be a bigger complete and utter tool than invite this into the home. Not least because it does NOTHING you actually need. Just a privacy miner that you pay hard cash for. Amazon is laughing.

I got a letter addressed from House of Commons when I was moaning about snoopers charter or it's ilk a few years back. I was on holiday and it was waiting for my return.

Generic Response. I binned it and decided never to waste my time again.

This is why am not married. Signing a legally binding contact to say I will be with someone forever is as ridiculous as it sounds. You can just live that way and do 99.9% of what a married couple does.

I just can't help but sneer. Opinionated document.write() using "jsx".

Working with react has been the worst experience of my life. I had to call a meeting and laid in down in October. If 2018 is React, I am leaving on Dec 31.

So soon I am going swiftly back into the arms of Angular and I can't wait. Honestly, my eyes are blurring as I type this with pure happiness.

Enjoy the fragments guys, it will be good practice for picking up what little is left of your happiness and transferable skill set in years to come.

Not sure. If I do I have always had it. I don't go the doctors often. How would I know?

Does anyone know why I prefer being cold more than others?

I sleep with all the windows open and my other half has pyjamas, a double duvet and a hot water bottle. Like in December in Scotland.

I also dislike wearing Jackets or Coats under any circumstances. I dislike hot drinks maybe apart from Soup.

When people go on Holiday and basque in the sun saying it is perfect weather. My actual perfect weather (I believe I feel like they do when it happens) is for a low crisp negative temperature with no wind.

For a long time I have wondered why I prefer this side of the fence and wonder if I have some weird lineage from the North.

React is opinionated document.write

React is the new JQuery, I really don't see Vue and Angular being in the same world as React.

Thanks! I found a ton of old Flash Experiments on an old disk and looking to port them. WebGL isn't the easiest thing when you are new and many resources seem somewhat dated. Subscribed!

They are also boring as fuck and assume no talent for a project of this scope.

I agree. My experience is:

1. Wow it made 10k! Lets rewrite

2. Wow it made 100k! Lets rewrite

3. Wow it made 1M! Lets rewrite but let's properly think hard about the future of this product (Introduce tests and more people).

ALWAYS DO TESTING should always be given the context (if budget allows).

I think that everyone should have a 5 year stint with zero tests. I genuinely believe it offered me an insight into the deepest parts of depression.

In saying that, it was raw and I think I enjoyed my job more. There is no safety harness. You write decent working code and sign your name by it or you run home to your mothers nipple.

I definitely learned a lot about programming during that time. To take a terrible system and try to research ways to make it better for your own mental health, not the companies is a personal drive and golden age of discovery which plays a part of my programming to this day.

I get none of this from TTD. It is intensely dull and unsatisfying but gets the job done.

A pity it has to be that way.

Deez Nuts are big Worldwide

This is cool, I added some hot celebs because I am shallow.

It is quite open to abuse though and how can this be addressed I wonder? (There is a url in the celebs).

Thanks for sharing.

You know, when I think back to FFVII (I never played any others after this). Trying to breed the correct chocobo is probably the worst part of the game. For the gold, did you not need a special potion or something (and many guesses) bred with different colours of chocobo? It makes stressed just thinking of it.
