No sound on firefox on mac or ipad, and glitchy sound on safari on mac


I don’t disagree, but it also seems possible to identify periods that are more unusual compared to their neighboring periods, and useful to talk about them.


Thats really convenient, but probably not the most discoverable.


Fair point. At least it's mentioned in the README. My goal was a lean and efficient tool without any extra fluff, so discoverability took a hit.


That being said, it does provide some recourse for those who can show they’ve been discriminated because of their caste against the perpetrator. It doesn’t fix the root of the issue, and cases might be difficult to prove, but seems like a net good to add this protection. Might force discrimination on these grounds to be more subtle, but that means blatant discrimination would have consequences. Which again, seems better than the status quo.


Better to have the law then to not have it sure.

But from a practical perspective all of this is already done and kept on the DL even before the law was in place. The social pressure already stops the blatant treatment from occurring.


They actually link an article they wrote on some drawing exercises. https://ralphammer.com/a-quick-beginners-guide-to-drawing/ Remind me of a lot of what we did in some of my old beginner art classes.


Perhaps the reason they keyboard feels worse is the keyboard getting too “smart” already rather than being too dumb. But could also be an uncanny valley style curve, where “a little bit smart” is worse than both dumb and very smart.


It was built to interop well with obj-c which is a c superset, but it’s not a c-family language more than something like c# or kotlin


Since when is group selection a defunct theory?


Since we understood that it is the individual gene that is the unit of selection. Even Wikipedia reads: "The vast majority of behavioural biologists have not been convinced by renewed attempts to revisit group selection as a plausible mechanism of evolution."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_selection#Criticism


Group selection is as obvious as the nose on your face. So many, many animal populations have non-breeding members that benefit the community. Individual selection cannot possibly be used to support that.


Name one where the system is not contingent on immediate family helping immediate family, or to be more precise, one which is not explained by Hamilton's Law.

There is no individual selection either, by the way, that's another commmon misconception. You don't push out copies of yourself. There is only the selection of individual genes.


And the genes are in a population pool, not standing by themselves. So the only selection is group selection, that is, the survival of that part of the group that contains advantageous genes.


SFML isn’t perfect, but for 2D in the c++ space, that’s what I have reached for


A very interesting concept. I really like the idea of a "triangles as control" for GPU rendered curves. I think having multiple primitives is less pure but very practical. Too bad you don't get the continuous curve for free like you do in a Bezier curve, but it seems like something good tooling could really help with.

One thing that came to mind: It's pretty easy to encode or include addition points within the vertices of a triangle. So as long as the constraint that the whole section of the curve is contained within the triangle, it might be worth thinking about adding additional control points related to the triangle-control/Gkurve-primitive
