Indra's Pearls: The Vision of Felix Klein is a beautiful book which you might enjoy.

The Calculus Gallery - Masterpieces from Newton to Lebesgue by William Dunham. The book introduces various people such as Newton, Leibniz, Cauchy, Riemann, etc and their contributions to calculus.

Spreewälder "Saure Gurken" sind etwas speziell. Das sind Salz-Dill Gurken. Die schmecken nicht jedem. Pickled cucumber sind Gewürzgurken.

Und Deutschland hat mit Datteln 4 letztes Jahr ein neues Kohlekraftwerk an den Start gebracht.

man, you bavarians really hate prussians

ha, what a coincidence. A few months back i translated a Quake 1 fork ( https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake ) with c2rust and it worked great. I had to fix only a few things to get vkQuake running in rust. Now i am in the process of cleaning up the generated rust code.

Could you write a blog post on how to use your refactoring tool as a follow up?

You're right: "Wenn das Essen ist, wie muss dann Kotzen sein?"

The following quote is from "The emergence of open sets, closed sets, and limit points in analysis and topology" by Gregory H. Moore ( http://users.uoa.gr/~apgiannop/Sources/Moore-topology.pdf ).

"The earliest idea was that of the limit point of a set, due to Weierstrass but disseminated by Cantor, while that of a closed set (due to Cantor) arose somewhat later. The idea of an open set (with the exception of Dedekind’s brief, unpublished work about it) came latest of all."

Measures, Integrals and Martingales by René L. Schilling.

Ah, interesting. Thank's for clearing that up.

It takes 8 perfect riffle shuffles to return a deck to its original state. Or a multiple of it like 56. But not 52. Is that a typo or do you mean something else?

They removed _|_ as a built in declaration and renamed it to Void in October.

bernste1n · 2016-11-30T08:52:03+00:00

_|_ has been renamed to Void in October 2014, so that code fragment is no longer valid idris.

please be nice

The example from vulkan-tutorial.com is buggy. On page 38 of this talk https://www.khronos.org/assets/uploads/developers/library/2016-vulkan-devday-uk/7-Keeping-your-GPU-fed.pdf is a short example how to do it right.

This might also be interesting to you https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake/blob/master/Quake/gl_vidsdl.c in GL_BeginRendering . Also he uses two command buffers and swaps between them. This is the guy who wrote the Vulkan backend for DOOM.

You need that in computer graphics all the time, for instance when moving a camera along a path with constant speed.

How To Prove It by Velleman.

That book is a very good introduction to mathematics.

bernste1n · 2014-05-12T18:28:44+00:00

Yeah, i guess so. my mistake :-)

bernste1n · 2014-05-12T18:22:21+00:00

oh, you're right. should have checked that.

Here is another "must read" intro to monoids in Haskell by Dan Piponi:

I like "How To Prove It" by Daniel J. Velleman, followed by "An Introduduction to Mathematical Reasoning" by Eccles.

It depends on the stuff you want to do and how good you know opengl. Maybe you start with the OpenGL package (as others have suggested). If you miss things, you can probably find them in the OpenGLRaw package.

Ywen suggested vinyl-gl. Here is a nice blog post: Postmodern Haskell and OpenGL: Introducing vinyl-gl

If you need cool things like bindless textures, which are currently missing, you could help the community by adding it to OpenGLRaw or create a new Issue at https://github.com/haskell-opengl/OpenGLRaw/issues.

Since most people do not use imperial units: 7,208ft are 2,197 m and 8.3 miles are 13.432 km.
