This is an experimental, plain ES2015 JavaScript WebGL library for loading and animating textured 3D models. Somewhat raw. Very much value a few upvotes and social shares if it's of any interest.


I like that. Big fan of D3


Just finished this little application that shows the current time in any zone and a sort of animated daylight clock that adjusts according to map coordinates. Value any feedback and a few social shares if it's any good. Thanks for looking.


This is absolutely brilliant! One thing what I would love to see, next to the timezone info is the actual timezone in UTC+2, etc. format. That way you could for example immediately see why does Portugal and Spain have a one difference in sunsets the western parts, for example.


I can't see the blue shades in the daylight clock with µblock running (in Chromium on Linux), so at first I didn't understand what the purpose of the website is, but it looks great in an incognito window — and thus without µblock — in the same browser.


Hi. Thanks. Don't know how to address that. Must be something to do with the XHR for the timezone info.


Did you change anything? It works now, outside of incognito mode, with µblock running.


That's good. No, nothing changed


I hate when software gets creative…


A mouseover quick summary of the differences between the times would be really useful.


took me awhile to understand it. maybe make the crosshair a little more visible.


I'm a self-taught web developer. I think every web developer was when I started out.

I'd like to add a defiant similar question and an answer to go with it.

What do non-self-taught web developers lack?

Experience :)

Tongue in cheek. I still have gaps all over when it comes to CS, paradigms, patterns, and I'm perpetually at odds with all the tooling around these days.


I agree that having someone tell me I'm wrong is useful, but it seems to me that we couldn't possibly all be dependent on someone telling us before we know. What about the scientific method?

Reminds me of a famous video clip, "Feynman on the scientific method". "If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong"


Good point. Maybe it isn't always a human that tells us. Something or someone informs us we are wrong. We just have to pay attention and keep an welcome the information.


Thanks for the link. I had similar thoughts but was struggling to find a way to express them. "The only thoughts we're capable of are bound by the restraints of language", or something similar. It's a nice hypothesis. I think the same words can sometimes mean different things to different people, even where the context is fixed. I've often wondered whether we all see colors in the same way.


Security updates should be available as readily for Debian.

I think you should use whichever you're most familiar with and most comfortable using.


I prefer BSD due to the slightly higher permissive factors ;[and so forth


The Google restructured the days of the week in 2034, removing Mondays and renaming the other days in accordance with the kolakube organization for standardization, so it's actually 2058 by a 2015 western calendar.

But, of course, that didn't happen. There was never another calendar.

Not much has changed. Oceania is still at war with Eurasia, etc etc. Worker bots get one day off a year on St Jobs' day. There was never more than one leading company. There will only ever be one : )
