yelnatz··on Preact, a fast 3k React alternative

yelnatz··on Milligram: A minimalist CSS framework
I see. So I don't have to do anything, just include the stylesheet and my buttons will look like that?

Neat.

yelnatz··on Launch, Land, Repeat
I agree, here's the comparison of what BO is doing compared to SpaceX. http://i.imgur.com/Z81NgAk.png

yelnatz··on Engineers demo first processor that uses light for ultrafast communications
> The photonic I/O on the chip is also energy-efficient, using only 1.3 picojoules per bit, equivalent to consuming 1.3 watts of power to transmit a terabit of data per second. In the experiments, the data was sent to a receiver 10 meters away and back.

They mentioned this, but didn't compare it to classic electrical chips.

Does anyone know what we have now?

yelnatz··on The Alzheimer Pandemic: Is Paracetamol to Blame? (2013)
Depends if you believe the study or not.

Its conclusion is: Alzheimer disease is primarily a man-made condition with paracetamol as its principal risk factor.

yelnatz··on Gene Amdahl has died
I finished undergrad 2 years ago.

It never really came up until I took the Parallel Computing course late into my degree.

yelnatz··on Activision to Buy King Digital for $5.9B
Smart guy.
yelnatz··on Facebook iOS App Battery Explanation
I really want access to the code base so I can diff the changes.

yelnatz··on SpaceX CRS-7 Failure Investigation Teleconference Thread
"What really happened was typical I think in large bureaucratic organizations, and any big organization where you’re frankly trying to be a hero in doing your job. And NASA had two strikes against it from the start, which one of those is they were too successful. They had gotten by for a quarter of a century now and had never lost a single person going into space, which was considered a very hazardous thing to do. And they had rescued the Apollo 13 halfway to the moon when part of the vehicle blew up. Seemed like it was an impossible task, but they did it. … So it gives you a little bit of arrogance you shouldn’t have. And a huge amount of money [was] involved. But they hadn’t stumbled yet and they just pressed on. So you really had to quote “prove that it would fail” and nobody could do that." -McDonald

I just listened to a Freakanomics podcast about the person who raised a red flag and wanted to cancel the launch. Very interesting listen. Episode was "Failure Is Your Friend".

Mirror. Thanks.
yelnatz··on Pause Me – Apply the 20-20-20 rule to prevent eyestrain while working
Is this even usable as a developer?

Seems it'll be annoying for something to break my concentration every 20 minutes, losing my flow all the time.

yelnatz··on Bunnyhopping from the Programmer's Perspective
Source video for the gif: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYEyIGLRqW0&t=47

It really shows how much of an advantage it was if you knew how to bunny hop.

yelnatz··on The Day I Lost a Shit-ton of Money, Part I
He got me reading the whole thing and then it stopped abruptly.

The guy basically just posted the introduction.

yelnatz··on Parallel In-Place Merge Sort
Can you clarify what you mean by that?

Article said they got 2.2x improvement using their parallel method compared to STL. Trade off was having 100% CPU utilization vs 12.5% with STL.

yelnatz··on Atlantic.net launches $0.99 SSD-based VPS servers
I'm actually waiting for their call right now.

That fact actually blindsided me since I already gave info and couldn't just login and start up the server.

I wish I'd have read stuff carefully before blindlessy jumping into a deal.

yelnatz··on Ragnarok MMO open-source HTML5 client
Hasn't it been free to play for years now?

yelnatz··on Vancouver tech surges as U.S. immigration reform idles
If you can imagine Seattle's weather, that's basically Vancouver.
yelnatz··on Why filipino startups fail in the Philippines
Quick Summary:

* Government is not startup friendly.

* Current educational standards are producing graduates with inadequate skills for what the current market is demanding for.

* Students are not at the same level as students in North America, Europe, and other places. Graduates finish a lot younger and have relatively no experience in life, what more in work or business. They are eager to learn and from my own personal experience with my own employees, they have the smarts.

yelnatz··on Go 1.3 is released
Very excited about Sync.pool and the contiguous stack.
yelnatz··on Maze Tree
Where do you see the loops?

The algorithm uses "loop-erased" random walks.

It starts at a node that isn't in the tree and randomly walks.

If it hits itself while randomly walking (remember it isn't part of the tree yet), it erases the loop that it created and continues walking from that node again.

If the walk hits the tree, connect the walked path to the tree, pick another node and start again.
