I'm Unsatisfied with Easing Functions

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-03 16:24:28

I'm unsatisfied with easing functions You've probably encountered easing functions before. If you're a creative coder, you've likely heard of them or used them. If you're a user, you've certainly interacted with them. They're everywhere, and they give a little more life to computer generated animations. Taking it easy For the uninitiated: let's say you've got a circle that you want to move from left to right over the course of a second. We can conceptualize this by converting the time into pr

The anticipated reveal of Apple's newest iPhone is just around the corner. For months now, rumors have been swirling about what the upcoming device, likely called the iPhone 17, could look like, from a redesigned camera module to fresh colors to a slimmer "Air" version of the handset.

AI coding agents are removing programming language barriers

news.ycombinator.com Stan Lo 2026-01-07 11:39:13

For a decade (2014-2024), I was a Ruby-only developer. I worked across the Ruby ecosystem—from Rails development to Ruby’s core tooling like IRB, RDoc, and the debug gem. But while I moved around the stack, I stayed within Ruby’s boundaries. Ruby wasn’t just my primary language; it was essentially my only language. That changed in 2025. This year, I’ve contributed to Sorbet (C++), worked on RBS’s parser (C), and am now diving into ZJIT (Rust). A combination of factors enabled this shift—someth

After watching this year’s EmacsConf and seeing Guile Emacs being resurrected I thought to myself - why limit ourselves to Guile? Sure, Guile isn’t just a Scheme implementation, thanks to its compiler-tower-based design. Other languages exist for Guile VM, such as Emacs Lisp, and Guile manual lists the following languages with various stages of completeness: ECMAScript Brainfuck Lua Ruby Python Sure, it would be nice, if Emacs could natively run all of these, but we have to understand, tha

In 2023, the California Forever group, a company backed by a gaggle of Bay Area billionaires, announced that it wanted to use some 60,000 acres of Solano County farmland north of San Francisco to develop a brand new city. The effort was pretty much an unmitigated disaster from start to finish, and the group eventually rescinded its plans.
