news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-30 05:00:52

Your React app might be 40% slower on first render than it needs to be. Not because you wrote bad code. Not because React is slow. But because styled-components never implemented React 18's useInsertionEffect hook: a feature specifically designed to solve CSS-in-JS performance problems.

Randomly selecting points inside a triangle

If you have a triangle with vertices A, B, and C, how would you generate random points inside the triangle ABC? Barycentric coordinates One idea would be to use barycentric coordinates. Generate random numbers α, β, and γ from the interval [0, 1]. Normalize the points to have sum 1 by dividing each by their sum. Return αA + βB + γC. This generates points inside the triangle, but not uniformly. Accept-reject Another idea is to use an accept-reject method. Draw a rectangle around the triangl
