Dolphin, to me, is the model open-source project: constant improvements, total developer transparency, detailed documentation, and a lively community. It is the most reliable and most professional emulator out there, for any platform.
Also, that hybrid ubershader thing was pretty clever.
Seems to me that classes generally replace structs in such languages. I know they're not the same thing, but classes have the features of structs (and much more) at the cost of performance.
Even if the article is outdated with respect to LIGO, it's mostly still relevant. Quantum gravity is a major unsolved problem in physics, and one that we have no idea how to solve.
Seems to me this can be handled the way the open-source community always handles such drama: fork the repo a bunch of times. I'll probably start keeping local copies of filter lists as well.
I have no major gripe with NPM, but it does seem like the programmers who favor it don't even think about what they're calling. The way I see it, the more code you write yourself, the more code you understand easily.
