HAL. HAL? HAL!

Exactly this, plus consider that a whole new generation in the near future will have no pre-AI experience, thus forming strong bonds with AI and following 'advice' from their close AI friends.

The similiarity between this model and the movie 'Her' [0] creeps me out so badly that I can't shake the feeling that our social interactions are on the brink of doom.

It seems pretty bold move when you consider that V8-based browsers covers 75.5% of the market [1].

That's explain why my laptop yesterday abruptly shut down twice.

You can just check noises' svg for the source code:

  <feTurbulence type="turbulance

basically creates Perlin noise.

You can try out my CSS-only bonfire! (:

What a time to be alive!

Thank you good man!

if only two opposite faces would get polish, it will just look like transparent stone. IMO the final effect is absolutely astonishing

some countries block Reddit by default.

I work with Chrome-based addon "AdGuard VPN" and it still works fine. It will be pitty to block users from using VPN as there are countries (like Indonesia) that blocks Reddit by default.

I hear this stuff for the first time, can you post some info about that?

I worked at one of the biggest and oldest banks in Europe, and our production was often filled with these 'temporary solutions.' They were typically created as quick fixes for major issues resulting from previous temporary fixes.

Interesting observation with Firefox. It probably comes from the fact that Mozilla use different JavaScript engine than V8 (SpiderMonkey).

But thank you for the feedback - will update the post accordingly.

I managed to kill the game at the level 12 by creating an inifite loop lol.

Depending on the acquisition, I think. When my former US company was acquired by a huge Chinese company, it was not clear if my service would be part of the deal too. A lot of higher managers escaped the ship just weeks before they announced that it would be sold to another huge Indian company.

One sign that wasn't mentioned is the sudden exodus of higher team/product managers. I've seen this happen twice in my career. Suddenly, the individuals who were once fully committed to the company are leaving to "look for greener pastures." Sometimes, they hold meetings with everyone and their behavior is odd – often, these meetings are pointless and a huge waste of everyone's time, much like meeting with an ex.

amazing video! Thank you very much

Do you mean TypedArray? [0]

I just found it out yesterday [1]. It's a nice trick. I already changed all forEach (even tho it maked my eyes a little bit wet).

> some clever stuff with WebGL2, WASM or Web Workers

I already use Web Workers with async calls to divide main task into smaller pieces and not to block main render. But I am pretty new to this concept so I don't grasp fully what is the overhead of using this method.

Thank you for the video - will check it now.

It's an interesting trick with the hardcoded array! Thanks.

The video you posted is a bit chaotic, so I don't really want to watch 1.5 hours just to get something that could be summarized in one line. But anyway... I understand the downsides of promises calls, but there are also advantages, such as not blocking page rendering, which I heavily rely on.

I have a large SVG calculation occurring with every rendering. Essentially, the code generates millions of SVG polylines based on a pseudo-random generator, then needs to stringify them and post them inside the canvas.

Yeah... sadly no cat was found ):

It's just that Google search results are now full of ads, so I suggest changing the search engine altogether and not just blocking certain sites. Does it make it more relevant to you?

I am aware of this. But my daily questions these days revolve around TypeScript or something as silly as "what is the average weight of a cat". Back in a days it took like 10 sec to get this from google, but now it's just a pain in the back to open all the websites, accepting cookings... and you know the drill.

While I appreciate the author's work, I suggest ditching Google Search altogether in favor of DuckDuckGo or anything else. At this point I only use Google when I need to buy something, as Google has become an expert in finding products tailored to my needs (but not in checking knowledge/facts - my go to here is ChatGPT/Wikipedia)

I encourage the author to try any Korean city with CCTV on basically every corner, or a Japanese city where you're not allowed to do anything outside of pre-established rules.

Of course, the Western world is obsessed with "anti-terrorist acts" and similar nonsense, but there is plenty of space around that is still free from these obsessions

Can you finally pay for the metro tickets with card in those big, clumsy machines (not the one located at the central)?

I have been traveling for some time now, so I can share my experience:

Thailand - mainly cash, QR payment, bank transfer, when paying by card: +3%

Cambodia – cash, cash, cash. Dollars and Riel. When paying by card: +3%-5%

Laos – cash, cash, cash

Malaysia – card and cash, sometimes QR payment, fast transfers,

Indonesia – cash, QR codes, transfers, card in large stores, but the transaction takes a lot of time (they don't know how to use contactless payments)

Palau – cash/card

Taiwan – cash/card

South Korea – cash and metro/city cards. Regular (non korean) cards only accepted at 7/11

Japan – mostly cash. Cards accepted at 7/11 stores and other large stores

Poland – cashless everywhere. Cash is almost non-existent these days
