Consider owning an ETL system where users can create periodic jobs, like calculating a "daily active user" rollup table from a bunch of event source tables. Now consider being asked to switch the query execution engine…
This got me interested as well. I couldn't find the specific incident they were referring to with a brief search, but I did find this, which implies that toll data can be and has been used in child custody disputes,…
There is a rule variation that disables confirmation of whether the person you're voting off was a crewmate or imposter --- this variation makes the "kill, self-report, blame other person" strategy viable. It's a simple…
Here is a GIF demonstrating the tangent line as a point traverses a curve: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/courses-images/wp-content... The "pencil" (the short line representing the tangent) is green when positive,…
This is really cool, thanks for sharing! It would be great if the hover text for the tools also displayed the keyboard shortcuts that I found in the nice and easy-to-read JavaScript :)
Here's a GIF of the belt trick they're talking about in the paper: https://www.gregegan.net/images/DiracAnimation.gif
Don't be afraid to put unfinished code or code without tests up on GitHub -- just mention in your README that it's not production-ready yet or something. It still has educational value for the community. Maybe someone…
I too miss Flash games, but there are still tons and tons of free indie games on the web. Have you checked out itch.io, for example? There are ~90k free HTML5 games [1]. [1]: https://itch.io/games/html5
There's a billiards simulator/game[1] that uses event prediction instead of step-based physics for realistic and reproducible results. It solves the equations of motion to find the next event, animates to that point,…
That looks like it's from 2016 -- is this still the case? (I'm not a Dropbox user, but would like to know)
The author was a mechanical engineering professor who loves pool. These slow motion videos are more physics demonstrations than instructional. Not many people know how to jump the cue ball legally, and even fewer know…
Dr. Dave is awesome. If you like this, you might also like "Amateur Physics for the Amateur Pool Player" -- http://www.sfbilliards.com/Misc/Shepard_apapp.pdf

Hammerspoon can do this (and way more!) for free :) https://www.hammerspoon.org/go/#winresize
These are called "pangrams". Here's a fun one that's short and makes sense: Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex!
This is correct, they released the source code a couple years ago under a reference license. https://blogs.unity3d.com/2018/03/26/releasing-the-unity-c-s... https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference
My Lua isn't strong, but I think this is what you're looking for: Data structure initialization: https://github.com/rxi/lite/blob/master/data/core/doc/init.l... How insertion works here, which illuminates how the table…
AutoHotkey can do this "caps lock as both escape and control" thing too. I use this, from http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Map_caps_lock_to_escape_in_Windows : ; Author: fwompner gmail com #InstallKeybdHook SetCapsLockState,…
I agree that it would be nice if the learner was given some instruction on how to experiment right away. I'd recommend https://regex101.com/ as a tool to complement this (or any) regex tutorial, as well as when you're…
And interestingly, not everyone sees the illusion: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27847925
One of the featured games is Kine, a cool looking 3D puzzle game. The creator, Gwen Frey, just did a great GDC talk, "The Kine Postmortem": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDG_EvHCIxQ
I'm not into 3D printing, so I'm unsure of what viable means in that context, but for photogrammetry in general, I've had success generating 3D models of little figurines/statues with just a bunch (~15-20) of photos…
tl;dr: "Not because chemical weapons are immoral. Because they are ineffective" :'(
Another sports sim that is incredibly close to real life is Virtual Pool 4. It looks quite dated, but no other game has more realistic billiard physics that I know of.
There's an issue open for this, so they'll probably have it pretty soon: https://github.com/apple/swift-argument-parser/issues/8
