Nice article. Lots of useful ideas.

It would be nice to know how much WebAssembly actually optimized here vs just writing WebGL in JavaScript. There are too many changes here to know if the speed ups and size gains are related to wasm or just to dumping three.js, and switching all the previous canvas 2D rendering to webgl rendering.

In fact (maybe I missed it), if they're using AssemblyScript is it possible to just run it through TypeScript and check?

Interesting point and in my case yes and all writing is attributed to the person who wrote it in print. And everyone got a book and a special private forum. In a way it was a community effort of mostly old timers who were there in the beginning.

I'm curious about your point of view. What is your take on these.

- If someone posts something in your forum. Can you legally repost in twitter saying.. so and so just posted?

- When you post in a public forum do you automatically assign the copyright as public domain by virtue of where you posted and who can see it?

- Facebook owns all of the content you post (pictures/posts/videos). Doesn't this apply to all/most sites with user generated content?

What is the difference between them posting on your forum and them posting on their on blog/site? Both are visible to the public. If you have some policy written "anything posted here becomes public domain" when maybe but if you don't I suspect it's at best undecided and at worst, "no, it is not okay to repost"

>It aims to shift the usable daylight hours to correspond with human activity.

But it fails miserably at it.. Here in NYS all winter long it gets dark at 5PM. Summer, 9PM.

It's useless and just causes inevitable confusion every year.

I love the extra hour of daylight in summer evenings and anytime I'm anywhere where it gets darker early in the summer I feel like I'm giving up part of the fun of my life.
