The game uses DEM data and OSM maps to generate in a worker: 3D roads, intersections and tunnels. Everything is created in real time around you as you drive. The link takes you straight to a high speed race on a motorway in France. You can

This one is actually an SVG not a font. There was no such font but I really wanted to make this flaming Diablo logo. As a side effect now any SVG can be dragged and dropped onto the editor and all paths and shapes will be automatically extr

Until now such rich text effects required manual animation in programs like After Effects and exporting to videos. Font.skin connects GPU shaders with webfonts to allow creating real-time, browser-based animated text effects never seen befo

The premiere was just last night so you can't find these anywhere else! This is all very random but also fun to watch. I like the song in demo 33. Some demos are very high-effort and others....no effort at all :)

Using negative values would only complicate things and the goal is to have a simple solution for not losing convenience of having a unix timestamp that fits in 32bits and is very straightforward. In 99.9% cases there will be no need to keep

How does it require less implementation? It's just another arbitrary point in time and 2106 is too late.

There's nothing ambiguous when the epoch is known and the previous one is long gone. So you're confused about restarting a timer every 50 years, ok. It's not true that it's much simpler to work with two 32bit words for a

For purposes that require looking far into the future or the past we already have ubiquitous 64 bit computers. The goal is to be able to fit the measure of time in 32bits in a standard way even after year 38 to have an alternative to using

By assuming which epoch it is and it will be clearly a separate data type from the old unix epoch. Currently the assumption is the epoch which started in 1970. 50 years is long enough period of time to keep a standard and 18 years is long e

Sure and it will be used widely. What I'm proposing is how to measure the time with only 32 bit used and the solution could be a new epoch every 50 years.

Sure, using 64bits is one way but many devices i.e. IOT don't need 64bit support. 64 bit will definitely be a standard, but a concurrent standard can be implemented to allow keeping the time in 32 bits. Starting a new epoch every 50 ye

Starting a new epoch every 50 years is kind of round and leaves plenty of space in between. 1970 is epoch 1, so this one will be epoch 2 and the next one in 2070 will be epoch 3 etc. It will be easy in a few hundred years to know which epoc

We're slowly running out of time in 32 bits. It would be good to have another standard measure of time that fits in 32 bits and is agreed upon long before the old one expires

Thanks for the link, pretty cool tool. So it seems like the risk of a conflict is pretty low and if it happens then a solution is to use "npx ntop" instead of just "ntop"
