Here are some values that are (understandably) not listed on the blog. They happen only due to the limited precision of floating point formats. 128 = √(2 / √√(√2 - (2 / √2))) 8192 = √√(2 / ((√2

I can't recommend "return true to win" ( https://alf.nu/ReturnTrue ) enough to learn how to golf JS. I think it's more accessible to learn one 10-20 char snippet at a time than a big project like a 1k subm

In certain conditions gcc will actually generate instructions that use this same bitvector described: https://godbolt.org/z/6Gfjv6PGd (notice the funny 130159 value in there) The only thing I did was to adjust the rang

I tried the demo and I liked it! I would prefer if I could pick a color in a faster way than switching to the color picker or using the palette: maybe middle click or Ctrl + left-click (gimp does that). It would reduce the mouse travel quit

I've been playing the same 2 games for many years and I think I got pretty good at them and I've used multiple accounts - under your assumption I look like a cheater.

I was thinking the same; they have a map of their route and I see they went through Rahova, Ferentari and they somehow missed Zetari and the cemeteries there on their way to Anghel Nutu; those areas are actually the worst off of the entire

I'm always a bit skeptical about physics because whatever models we find and celebrate now will have to be adjusted at some point in the future. I wonder if there's any way of knowing that something is indeed impossible or if our

I'm going to ask a different question: so what if it doesn't handle it? Some of the hardware resources would be spent on dynamic shenanigans instead of the actual game content. In contrast a game running on the same hardware but i

Tangential-ish: I used to live in a place where we had gas resources and gas stoves. Gas pipes would be painted yellow to stand out and people always had some sort of respect and caution around them - you don't mess with gas pipes - I

Yes - for whatever reason we really like to get our own label and wear it with pride. I would be very curious to find out if we actually try to fit into this newfound label if we knew about it from an early age. When I was young members of
