Do you have a reference for that? Struggling to find one, and very interested.

Looks like so, with a clever rotation, clipping, and drawing twice (had a cursory look at 'lenses.js', look for 'draw_blade')

I think the question is how is this drawn on a canvas. It's not trivial, if I draw 6 shapes successively, one will be on top and another at the bottom, you would not see the tip of one at the top and the other part of the same blade at

Yes, that's why I thought OP's idea of explicitly separating the derived "better" questions interesting, instead of allowing anyone to edit the original question and steer the discussion in a different direction. This is

Sometimes the asker is missing a concept, and it's not always impossible to comment about it and rephrase the question to make it answerable & more useful to keep for posterity. It's far from the majority of questions, but not

I upvoted because I find the idea of an explicit third stage interesting. But SO does offer the ability for experts to edit questions already, in order to keep the simple Q&A format with two stages, so it's "by design". I

First one was aptly closed IMHO, much too vague. SO is not the right tool for absolute beginners to seek guidance when they have no idea what they're doing: the format asks for a reasonably specific answerable question. Would be nice i

Yes! Unit test code! I avoid humor in main code, but in unit test code when you have to come up with dummy bits of test data or variable names, I love getting funky there :)

It's not just about code. In any non-trivial system you have a bunch of components, and any minor occurrence of "bad design" that affects boundaries, protocols, configuration, deployment, persistence schema, upgrade procedure

Wow look at those plan names: "go unlimited", "beyond unlimited", "above unlimited"... WTF does that mean?

I was wondering the same, but I thought the number of illustrations would be 7!/2 = 2520, that is, the number of permutations for 7 different elements, divided by 2 because symmetrical sequences generate the same drawing. Is it incorre

Sometimes you want to access the application from outside, available via some corporate proxy, and all do not support WebSockets, and even those that do on paper are so complicated to set up that some admins abandon the idea (looking at you

Not just an American thing... At home I got a bare bones one with 2 mechanical knobs (even the "ready" sound is produced mechanically I think). But right now I'm standing in front of a sophisticated one in a Taiwanese home, i

Ah, yes, right, sorry. I understand now what you were after. Agree there would have been (is?) an interesting potential there too.

Yes I think that's exactly what Stratoscope meant, and it was funny because that expression is a classic language peeve, as it is an illogical deformation (of the phrase "I couldn't care less") that is becoming the norm.

Higher cohesion and modularity. I'm glad to see this in an article for JavaScript projects. Here are a few articles for Java projects, that go in more details (I think the concepts still mostly apply to JavaScript projects): http:&#x2

Good point. While I still don't think this general idea can be applied universally, lately I've come to realize it can help a lot. But I feel I only have a blurry/incomplete understanding of what exactly "it" is or

I work on such a system, to organize data processing (HPC) projects in the oil & gas industry, and I try to follow this space. I remember I got excited when I heard of Airflow for the first time, but quickly got frustrated with its &quo
