I'd recommend https://webglfundamentals.org at least as a starting place

As for using OpenGL ES references, there are enough differences what I wouldn't recommend that route. 85% or 95% of the info will be similar but WebGL has a bunch of minor gotchas and changes to the spec to make it secure and consistent and those ways will be no fun to discover when you're copying code from a C or C++ OpenGL ES example.

Employees get cash, that's the compensation like any other worker.

Why should equity be a default option? Most startups fail so that's like saying workers should get something that has a high probability of being worthless while suffering all the tax implications. If anything equity should be decreased. Startups are better off competing on cash and other benefits like work flexibility and increased responsibility.

"deserve" doesn't really mean anything. As for why founders get the most equity, it comes down to the most risk. They have the most to lose and are usually are paid last compared to employees who get cash and benefits. It's easy to claim the profits and yet ignore all the risks and losses incurred by founders.

I've yet to see someone who thinks otherwise actually go out and start a company. Perhaps it's because the calculus changes when it's your business and livelihood on the line.
Parent does not dispute this. You want what you want, i.e., selecting the people who are most capable to put the capital into good use.

But note that this game is not as much costly for you as the founder. Founder takes bigger risks in terms of their time and opportunity costs than you as a VC. You will probably find your successful pick in the other founder you fund and designate that other guy “the most capable”.
Is there some kind of demographic data for HN or is this based on your impression from comments? I wouldn't expect a large amount of traditional media workers.
Worth noting that Kahan summation works under the assumption that, at every step of the summation, the current sum will be larger than the term added.

It is not too hard modify the algorithm in order to remove this assumption and it increase the accuracy of the algorithm sensibly (but sadly a test, as suggested on the wikipedia page, is not the best way to do that).

Here is a Rust crate (not mine) that offers various implementation of increasing accuracy and an exact sum (slow but it will return the floating point that is closest to the sum of your inputs) : https://crates.io/crates/accurate

Except almost all major APIs, even from those days (e.g. Glide, QuickDraw 3D, Warp3D) used structs to contain state, instead of a global state machine.

Had not been for miniGL and Quake, and GL would have had other relevance in history.
WebGL 2.0 is a version of OpenGL ES 3.0, which does not have compute. That was added in 3.1.
These are for the most part considerably harder than noticing a backwards protection diode or a missing base resistor.

Employment in general protects workers. If a worker makes a mistake that costs money that is the employers problem.

Perhaps that gets at my intended point, which is that different people have different comfort and stability thresholds.

If someone doesn't feel comfortable leaving a job to bet on a startup project with 20 years of mortgage payments in the bank, it is unlikely they ever will.
> I’m super curious how customers ended up seeing other people’s accounts.

I don’t know anything about this particular case, but the usual cause of this is over-zealous caching (usually by an intermediate load balancer or the like) that returns cached pages while ignoring the session data. The result is that one person logs in and gets their account info, and then everyone else who tries to view the same page gets that person’s info instead of their own. For example, this happened to Steam in 2015: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/12/valve-explains-ddos-i...

Of course, there are also other possibilities, but this is the most likely. Alternatives that come to mind (though I’ve never seen any of these actually happen):

- A bad RNG creating the same session token for multiple users

- Concurrency bug in the web server returning results to the wrong connection

- Messed-up migration causing account IDs to be associated with the wrong credentials (maybe IDs from the old and new systems got mixed up)

You‘re absolutely right, but we all can be talking about different subjects here:

- database restore
- database migration (your case)
- data migration to a different platform and presumably different data model (the bank‘s case, or my answer here)

Not sure which case the question was reffering to, though...

So instead of requiring the callee to be async or not you have to make sure your caller is executing in the right effect handler context?

Ask HN: Will Facial Recognition be ever commercially successful?
There are tens if not hundreds of companies investing millions of dollars in facial recognition, only to find majority of them are biased.Further, each effort to commercialize is met with resistance via privacy, legal and ethical issues. In this scenario, why are these companies spending so much money on facial recognition research. Will they ever be able to make money out of this research?

Edit : Grammar, Excuse my English.
Misspeling "atrocious" was a nice touch.
The cities I mentioned (St Louis, Minneapolis, Raleigh) and comparable cities like Austin/Columbus etc are not podunk small towns. They are all major metros that are host to big universities and local colleges and as such producing a large amount of talent. I don't disagree that many devs from these cities move on to bigger cities, but I'd wager that a large majority of college grads from universities in these cities stay there and work for local companies (and them staying there is not a reflection on their talent level but more about the ties to the local community).

Even if I concede to your assertion that a vast majority of the top 10-20% of developers from these cities leave for the big tech centers- most startups are not doing the kind of work that requires their tech team to be made up of "rockstar" top 10-20% developers.

The issue here is that unless you have checks that your values dont over or underflow at every stage of the calculation, you can never actually know if your answers are accurate, even if they might be repeatable.

Perhaps half way down the list inject, advert style, "Three from /newest:" add in three rows from newest, styled slightly differently so viewers can continue to scroll past.

Fascinating video,

The prefered learning process reminds me a lot of the book Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - find the "sweat spot" between certainty and uncertainty, seeking contradictions to things you are learning. Etc. Indeed, a lot of the points are talked about a lot by various "human potential" psychology systems.

Other parts of the video give me the impression that belief-formation processes are well suited for interacting with the real world but not at all suited for processing the stream of information available online.
Ah ok good to know, I’ll keep looking for a little smoke. Thought that might mean the taste was getting a little warped. Also might look into making some clarified butter. Great thread.
Small business does not equate to a startup. It's not nearly as huge of a gamble starting a small business as most aren't pursing new ideas in unproven markets, and trying to find product market fit/scale rapidly.
Cities that I've been in, maybe precisely because they aren't "actual cities", have high rises downtown, but mostly that area is too expensive for ordinary people to live there. I don't understand why, given that the center of any area is necessarily relatively small, it shouldn't be reserved for commerce, because that is what requires everybody to come together. And it is!

But one thing I don't get is: once the dam is built and filled up, shouldn't the water be back to flow regularly? It seems the dam should only act as a buffer, but not cause a dramatic decrease in water flow. Is it because evaporation at the water basin is much higher than on the river?

And in my experience, when you do finally get the update, it sometimes ends up breaking a lot of existing features. Pixel users have reported multiple times about degraded battery life after an update, and my last experience with Android 10 release was that the software was full of small but annoying bugs.

I've been an Android user since 2.2 and have favored Google products (Nexus phones and now Pixels) exactly because of the vanilla experience and in my case quick updates. I just bought my first iPhone because of the frustration that the recent updates have caused me with Pixel 2. I feel like Android is taking huge steps back in refinement and that is really sad. Even the latest Pixel products look the same as two years ago and have taken steps back in battery life. I wouldn't have believed if someone told me a couple of years back that I would by an Apple product this year.

I had my fingers in SAP, a lot, some Odoo and tried out Dynamics 365 for my startup. SAP is great for larger companies or even smaller ones if they resist the urge to customize the ship out of SAP. Can't say too much about Dynamics, only that without manufacturing there are more specialised WMS and TMS solutions out there.

Odoo on the other was just a big pain. None of the workflows was automated. The consultant had no idea how goods receipt works. Not sure how much of it was the fault of Odoo and how much was due to a bad installation and bad custumizing. Regardless, this experience kicked Odoo of my list potential ERPs right away.
You're not wrong, but consider that there are plenty of atrocities, including slavery, happening right now around the world.
I've used it twice. Once when inverting large matrices, where the built-in dot product algorithm was inaccurate, and once when working with a very small process noise with Kalman filters, with 32 bit floats due to platform restrictions, where the process noise could only increase uncertainty to a certain point after which there was underflow.

Both times it has worked brilliantly, allowing a targeted increase in accuracy on only the components that needed it, allowing to choose the memory / computational hit desired, similar to using extra bits in certain temporaries when using fixed point.

Ask HN: Astrology? Yay, Nay or Meh?
For a ‘pseudo science’, astrology and horoscope chart making is heavily dependent on the gifts of CS.

What would a marriage of AI and Astrology come up with..?

Example:

1. astronomy says Jupiter, Saturn and mercury will be in the constellation of Sagittarius on Christmas Day.

2. Vedic astrology marks dec 25th as a day when a cluster forms in the house of Sagittarius with 6 celestial bodies(three planets, sun, moon and Ketu, the imaginary south node of moon).

I don’t know astrology and so I don’t know what it means. And let’s assume that it is significant for some world event.

A rational non believer would say that any events on that day is common place and a coincidence.

But can AI map ‘coincidences’ to come up with a pattern? If it does, would it be able to transform a pseudo science into a valid science.

In other words, what’s the difference between pattern recognition and prediction by AI vs pattern recognition and prediction by old world knowledge?

I am instantly suspicious - Research & Development conjurers an impression of lots of research and a hint of development.

However a mining corporation developing a new coal mine site counts that under their R&D budget - it is development. And I suspect the 'development' part of R&D is both substantial and possibly defined differently in different parts of the world with different norms depending on the industry.

I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but this evidence is unreliable. It might be a straight proxy for industrial development.
Are you an analog EE? If so that’s surprising. Did you have any microelectronics classes where you essentially build up your own opamp, one stage at a time? Bypassing is usually covered in this class, or in its lab, especially when discussing PSRR of the system.

Digital systems classes can cover it too, when going over power distribution, but that’s usually a graduate level class.

The digital VLSI or signal processing tracks of EE might not require this stuff anymore.

"Most of Silicon Valley isn’t working on ad tech, yeah, I get it. But for crying out loud what the hell are they working on? Thats my point. How this is interpreted outside of tech circles is that “tech” is just a thing to make “tech” people more rich."

If you are being left behind, if you're smart enough to know that, certainly it's not going to make you feel any better to know more about what people are doing that you can't do.

I wonder if anyone has written about the strangeness of the world being taken over by social media, specifically juxtaposed with the general belief that the people who develop tech lack social skills. That seems like a deeper challenge to what people believe than just nerds getting rich.
This point needs to be stressed. It took less than 5 years for the Soviets to figure out the nuclear bomb, despite the great novelty of the idea, the many unknowns surrounding nuclear physics at the time, the scarcity of the ingredients, and the fact that U.S. research was conducted under total secrecy.

Meanwhile, the entire international community of scientists has been thinking about fusion for decades, publicly sharing their results, and scientists in every country know what the rough obstacles are. A big leap forward in fusion wouldn't even take 5 years to disseminate across the community, it would take weeks.
