dassreis··on Show HN: Mini JavaScript WebGL lib for loading and animating textured 3D models
This is an experimental, plain ES2015 JavaScript WebGL library for loading and animating textured 3D models. Somewhat raw. Very much value a few upvotes and social shares if it's of any interest.
dassreis··on Show HN: New time and daylight application
I like that. Big fan of D3
dassreis··on Show HN: New time and daylight application
That's good. No, nothing changed
dassreis··on Show HN: New time and daylight application
Hi. Thanks. Don't know how to address that. Must be something to do with the XHR for the timezone info.
dassreis··on Show HN: New time and daylight application
Just finished this little application that shows the current time in any zone and a sort of animated daylight clock that adjusts according to map coordinates. Value any feedback and a few social shares if it's any good. Thanks for looking.
dassreis··on Ask HN: What skills do self-taught Web Developers commonly lack?
I'm a self-taught web developer. I think every web developer was when I started out.

I'd like to add a defiant similar question and an answer to go with it.

What do non-self-taught web developers lack?

Experience :)

Tongue in cheek. I still have gaps all over when it comes to CS, paradigms, patterns, and I'm perpetually at odds with all the tooling around these days.

dassreis··on Why being told you are wrong is a gift
I agree that having someone tell me I'm wrong is useful, but it seems to me that we couldn't possibly all be dependent on someone telling us before we know. What about the scientific method?

Reminds me of a famous video clip, "Feynman on the scientific method". "If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong"

dassreis··on Ask HN: Why aren't there more missing words?
Thanks for the link. I had similar thoughts but was struggling to find a way to express them. "The only thoughts we're capable of are bound by the restraints of language", or something similar. It's a nice hypothesis. I think the same words can sometimes mean different things to different people, even where the context is fixed. I've often wondered whether we all see colors in the same way.
dassreis··on Ask HN: Debian 8 or Ubuntu?
Security updates should be available as readily for Debian.

I think you should use whichever you're most familiar with and most comfortable using.

I prefer BSD due to the slightly higher permissive factors ;[and so forth
dassreis··on Ask HN: It's 2065 – What does history say about the software industry today?
The Google restructured the days of the week in 2034, removing Mondays and renaming the other days in accordance with the kolakube organization for standardization, so it's actually 2058 by a 2015 western calendar.

But, of course, that didn't happen. There was never another calendar.

Not much has changed. Oceania is still at war with Eurasia, etc etc. Worker bots get one day off a year on St Jobs' day. There was never more than one leading company. There will only ever be one : )
