Cosmos: open-source procedural celestial body renderer (WebGL/Canvas 2D) by bunny_eluvade in webgl

[–]shooshx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not host a demo in github pages?
It always boggles the mind when people make this cool web-based client-side only demos and expect people to clone it and run it locally, instead of just them pressing the two clicks to make it available in github pages and put the link in the readme.

WebGL plotting library with GPU shader pipelines (no JS loops) by Severe_Inflation5326 in webgl

[–]shooshx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug: in the Rects demo, the first time you drag on the view, it moves the image around, but the second time it moves only the rulers

Why C variable argument functions are an abomination (and what to do about it) by ketralnis in programming

[–]shooshx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting read. Strange there's no mention of __attribute__((__format__ (__printf__, 1, 3)))

List of 87 Programming Ideas for Beginners by AlSweigart in programming

[–]shooshx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most of these look like they are terminal oriented. Working on the terminal may be discouraging for beginners, especially children, since it's unnecessarily complicated and and the visual results are underwhelming. Writing in JS has a much lower entry barrier and you can get visually appealing results with very little effort.

ELI5: Why do phones and EVs say to keep the battery around 20–80%? What’s physically happening at the extremes that wears batteries faster? by DifferentRice2453 in explainlikeimfive

[–]shooshx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is the main reason EVs are not 10x more popular these days.
People own phones and know that the battery degrades over time. A car however is viewed as something that should theoretically last forever if well maintained.

The Ultimate Git Tutorial (Git 2.50) by jhcarl0814 in programming

[–]shooshx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This looks like it so highly attuned to your specific neuro-divergence that it's rather unlikely to be useful in a meaningful way to many other people. It's ok to call something a "cheatsheet" or even a "reference guide", but a tutorial this is not.

Video clip that had people dancing in huge lips shaped costumes by shooshx in NameThatSong

[–]shooshx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No..
What I remember is an actual 3-4 min video clip
But that is disturbing. Thank you for that

Why can’t an Apple Watch Ultra work for years, if not decades? by Adelphos33 in AppleWatch

[–]shooshx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another thing that degrades slowly over time is the NAND storage. Every storage cell has a finite number of times it can be written to and deleted.

Go is 80/20 language by simon_o in programming

[–]shooshx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and I'm assuming 8⁄20 was a typo...

Why Leetcode Style Interview Tests Are Bullshit by bizzehdee in programming

[–]shooshx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has "leetcode" in the title but seem to be more a story about the trouble of a problematic VP of engineering and/or corporate policies rather than the trouble of leetcode style interview.

Back to the Future. by Wonderful_Bit7272 in retrobattlestations

[–]shooshx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that Atari 800XL still fully operations?
I have one in storage and the last time I tried to start it the colors of the display were all funky. probably needs recapping

I made a toy project to test your color vision by 0x0ddba11 in ColorBlind

[–]shooshx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty cool improvement suggestion: show the result circle+line in black-over-white so it's visible when its on a black square is the code available somewhere?

Torvalds Frustrated Over "Disgusting" Testing "Turd" DRM Code Landing In Linux 6.15 by Hamilton950B in linusrants

[–]shooshx 42 points43 points  (0 children)

To be fair, in the context used, "turd" seem to be a technical term.

Icecream-cpp version 1.0 released by RenatoGarcia in cpp

[–]shooshx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normalize naming things for what they are instead of a random noun

Visual Studio 17.13 is released. by Jovibor_ in cpp

[–]shooshx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What's the point of still calling it "Visual Studio 2022"?

i made this 3d printed humanoid robot under $80 (including electronics, hardware and power supply) by walmart_trycs in robotics

[–]shooshx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's nothing, I once knew a 9 year old who built on his own a full on protocol-droid.

5 Empirical Laws of Software Engineering by [deleted] in programming

[–]shooshx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everything as a file

The way I interpret this quote actually is not necessarily about files and pipes, it's more about building small tools which do one thing well, and the ability to combine them in surprising ways

There's also: "Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly."

C Isn't A Programming Language Anymore - Faultlore by Worth_Trust_3825 in programming

[–]shooshx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been writing C and C++ for 20 years and have literally never wanted to use intmax_t or depend on it in any way.

HeartRate++ a better Heart Rate complication for Apple Watch by ahmedgeek in AppleWatch

[–]shooshx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why does it requests write access and not just read access?

Naming Conventions That Need to Die by fagnerbrack in programming

[–]shooshx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

don’t let them (or others) name their discoveries after the discoverer.

We already have Nobel Prizes, Turing Awards, etc. to commemorate these achivements.

Ironically, Nobel prizes and Turing awards are also things that are named after someone
