The work thus far has mostly been on a seamless mobile UI, & to make engaging with the LLM like less of a chat and more like browsing an interesting dynamic wiki about your own life. But also, yes, a highlight for me re: having your jou

Curious—Do you have a best Metal project to learn from? Foveated rendering and temporal reprojection important here I imagine.

Fear that postmodernism "infects" the humanities has always read as condescension to me: "this idea is too dangerous and 'normal' people won't be able to see the ways it will be abused, so we'd better reje

At some point (not sure if it is still true) Jai had or was going to have language-level implementation of relative pointers, i.e. a 16 or 32 bit relative offset from “this field’s memory address.”

Actually, you can use DevTools to inspect DevTools. Hit option-command-J to bring up devtools, make sure it's in "window mode," i.e., in a separate window from the browser itself, and then hit option-command-J again to DevT

Using React every day has me sold on functional reactive programming for UI. But there's definitely some friction at the boundary between the nicely declarative React tree and the rest of the world with all its mutable state. I'd

Have they been working on compilation speed? About a year ago I was trying some WebGL "bindings" that had definitions for all the constants and functions, and the game I was hacking on would take 20 seconds to compile on a fairly

I like to imagine at least that our consciousnesses are abstract enough, and derive enough pleasure from art, and music, and conversation, etc., that they don't need arbitrary goal conditions like "death is relatively imminent, so

There are figures on page 6 that answer the OP's question directly. And there's also this money quote: "Building an accurate model for modern processors is virtually impossible."

+1. Why does it matter? It's totally his right to remain (pseudo-)anonymous. Plus, it might be part of the fun. I wrote about _why for this reason, too: http://kevinw.github.io/2013/04/30/why-did-why-the-lucky-sti...

Are you sure about your examples? I think you're confusing "xbox live arcade" with "xbox live." You don't have to create games with XNA to get them on xbox live. I specifically remember C++ code in Indie Game: The Movie (for Super Meat Boy)

Wow. I was one year old when this was published. Stallman's combination of sort-of-maddeningly-precise nerdspeak and revolutionary zeal has always made me cock my head and listen--if not to every word, then at least to some of his more apt

I'm with Gruber. The display is sexy. And good typography is beautiful on it. But my experience with Safari at the Apple Store was that the FPS when scrolling through pages is noticeably low. (Also choppy enough as to be frown-inducing were

I use Vim because I'm faster in it than anything else, hands down. But I do think there's probably some vague psychological argument to be made about the elegance and simplicity of your tools mirroring a state of mind conducive to elegance

I've been really tempted to fork and contribute to MacVim and steal some of the nicer visual things ST2 is doing. Namely, 1) rounded corners on selection boxes 2) nice glowing, fading cursor 3) smooth scrolling with a feeling of vel

Cool stuff! Really like the template handler that "notices" which attributes you're interested in and registers listeners for you. Is that implemented with a proxy "this?" or with actual Javascript parsing? gulp Any reason the GitHub link

This is so true. Although I'm not sure it's entirely about density--I think part of it is just that you're so alone as a pedestrian. At least if you're walking around my hometown, you might be the only one on the sidewalks, barring neighbo

One alternative that works for me is vim, with the syntastic plugin ( https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic ). It comes with a coffee syntax checker.

Coincidentally, this is exactly the kind of thing Google's recent Zynamics acquisition is meant to find automatically through binary code analysis.
