jensnockert · 7 years ago

Yes, it's generally quite a bit nicer. It's not as nice as I hoped, but it's better. The old APIs are JSONAPI-style.

The main disappointment is that input types are not nearly as expressive as output types.

So still no fix in sight for 10.12? My personal laptop refuses to upgrade to High Sierra and my work laptop is yet able to upgrade because we have do some work with our mac management before that time. I haven't seen anything from Apple on older OSes and their status

jensnockert · 8 years ago

There is already a fix for 10.12, it was pushed in December. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208331

It makes it easier to get started, and you can often kinda-ish reuse some effort from your webpage at the cost of bad performance and non-native look/feel.

It's a trade-off for me, I use it when the trade-off feels right.

jensnockert commented on Ask HN: Which non-technology book has influenced you the most and why? · Posted by u/fernandohur

"The Twelve Kingdoms", by Fuyumi Ono. We'll count all the volumes as one.

Maybe I read them at just the right time in just the right place, but if you are in the right mood it tells you a story about leadership, a kernel of intersectionality, and most importantly why it's so hard for leadership figures to change the way they are headed even if they can clearly see that they are heading straight into an iceberg.

There's also an animated TV-series by NHK that I can recommend.

The main thing that's holding me back is the smaller battery, everything else seems pretty good to me.

Nvidia introduced a new, faster SLI bridge for the new 1000 generation, aren't they used in GPGPU setups?

jensnockert · 10 years ago

The SLI bridge is quite slow though, even the updated SLI bridge is just 2GB/s.

Why not contribute to Blender cycles instead?

jensnockert · 10 years ago

Because Cycles is a rendering engine, while FireRays is a ray intersection acceleration library. Cycles could opt to use FireRays for ray intersection if they wanted to, but most uses of FireRays probably could never use Cycles since need a rendering engine with entirely different capabilities (real-time &c.)

Why would you want proportional width fonts in Vim? Forgive me for asking, it's probably pretty obvious to you.

jensnockert · 10 years ago

Write 'normal' text for example, also if you're including CJK-strings in your app it is kind of nice if they are not rendered as teensy or on top of each other.
