Does it? In monospaced fonts, you can use width to know how many characters are in a ligature.

This is amazing, thanks for sharing!

I might be taking you too literally, but I think “just wait” is bad advice. Many of my peers at college graduated without ever building anything of substance on their own. Don’t know where they ended up, but I doubt they got good jobs.

I think it’s super important for CS students to pursue their interests beyond what’s covered in school. It’s the only way to gain the skills you need to get a good job out of college.

There _is_ a major disconnect! You’re studying computer science and wondering how it applies to software engineering. When I studied CS (graduated a year ago) we never went over things like building a GUI, reverse engineering an API, or designing a UI. Those are software engineering topics. By the time I graduated I learned how to do those things, but it was by learning them on my own. If you want to learn these things you’ll need to take the initiative yourself.

Here are some links to get you started:

Maybe it looks like it’s orthographic, but it’s actually a perspective projection. You should be able to tell if you use the arrow keys to move around.

Check out drawLine3D() in until.js to see where I apply the perspective projection.

If you’re interested in learning graphics, this is a great place to start!

From a performance standpoint it’s definitely not better. I just built this for fun.

Probably so it’s human readable.

I think it should at least know which thread handles mouse movement.

I think we should encourage that. If students can catch their mistakes early and learn from them, I think they should.

What we should discourage is students using Wolfram Alpha to just get the answers without any initial work. That robs students of the chance to learn and would definitely be cheating.

For those who don’t know there’s a data structure called a HyperLogLog (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperLogLog) that does something similar. Just learned about it last week.

You describe him as if he happened to be a genius who was discovered by the right people. My interpretation of the article was that he worked hard to become skilled at code and through persistence and determination managed to convince people to take a chance on him.

A single point

It seems like an awesome tool for groups that focus on teenage mental health.

In these studies what kind of exercise did the participants do?
