roombarampage··on Aliasing Your Git Commands for Maximum Developer Efficiency
thanks, I hate it.

For me, the seconds this saves in typing don't outweigh the annoyance of trying to pair with another developer who only uses their own special aliases.

I also have one of those: https://jonathan-potter.github.io/hilbert-curve/

roombarampage··on Newegg has a bit of a scandal on its hands
I buy new computer parts somewhat infrequently these days, but in the 2ish decades I’ve been buying from Newegg I’ve never had a problem.

Once, when I royally screwed up an order (I double bought a whole desktop worth of parts) they took everything back without any problem at all.

Additionally, they have been one of the most prominent companies fighting patent trolls.

I’m sure they have screwed up in big and small ways over the years, but they’ve also been serving the tech community well for a long time. Companies are large and difficult to manage. Hopefully they learn lessons from this and improve.

very cool :) that tutorial was very helpful
roombarampage··on WebGL Julia Set
I like the stop button idea, but there are some considerations that I need to work through before I can add it in.

the intention behind using the url hash for application state is to allow sections to be debugged and sent as links. that said, I may rip it out in place of a smooth zoom when I get time.

roombarampage··on WebGL Julia Set

roombarampage··on WebGL Julia Set
This project was built using code I wrote previously for this pure javascript fractal renderer: http://jonathan-potter.github.io/Mandelbrot/

Jamie Wong's post on hacker news earlier this week was a massive help in allowing me to switch to using WebGL for the rendering portion. His post can be found here: http://jamie-wong.com/2016/07/06/metaballs-and-webgl/
