Maybe a better middleground is to use an animation with transparency that you can instead overlay any background, like a looping gif.

It seems like when you change the settings, it can take 15 or more seconds to take effect.

You've probably come across it though, as it does seem to gloss over some basic stuff. But it does cover the basics pretty well, just gotta keep an eye for details and seemingly unimportant one-liners that turn out to be fundamental.

It also takes some googling for deeper explanation of some functions, which often result on Stack Overflow answers by the author himself.

Dealing with the WebGL API itself is a bit... let's say tricky, though. But working with shaders for me is a joy.

This also seems promising, though I only skimmed over it: https://thebookofshaders.com/

And also, look into https://shadertoy.com/. Both for using the shaders there as example and as a playground.

By that point I had already spent more time on this than I'd have liked, and allowing for a little blur was an easier way for it to look good enough.

I haven't been doing any "public" work lately, but I'll post anything I make on my Twitter[1], especially if I ever get to finish this updated version.

But there are some neat tricks which, while not necessarily transferable themselves, might serve as inspiration for other problems.

But it doesn't matter, I posted the code for it to be used, I'm glad to see it in the wild.

There's a lot of untapped potential in geospatial (even with Google taking most of the mindshare)

I agree with the others here that an AMA might be worth it :)

It was removed in a six hour, two surgeon operation called a Whipple. It was pioneered in the 1930s. Back then they lost about 1/3 on the table. Only about 1/3 of pancreatic patients can receive a Whipple and only about a third of those have my result. Only 9% live beyond five years.

The Whipple is considered the most difficult operation a surgeon can perform. The docs who do this are hospital all-stars.

On day one I told my doctors (with cancer you get an army of doctors) I wanted to aggressively go at it.

I had a catheter port inserted in my chest for IVs (like chemo or with my CTscans). It's been used over thirty times. When I take a blood test it's commonly a dozen vials or more.

My treatment ended around a year and a half ago. I am certifiably cancer free, though my body knows how to make pancreatic cancer and could do it again.

I am missing a few internal parts. Whipple surgery reconnects some parts of the digestive system differently than original factory specs. With half a pancreas I shoot insulin 4-5 times a day (no big deal). My right pinkie will be tapped for blood drops around 1,500 times this year.

I am the luckiest person you will meet today. And, it's a kickass diet. I lost 35 pounds.

Because I am old I am on Medicare. I subscribe to a Medicare Advantage program, which means I limit myself to an HMO's doctors in return for paying less for services. I would think my medical care had to cost over $500,000. I paid ZERO. I do pay for some drugs -- thousands a year -- but my army of doctors were paid by the government.

People shouldn't go broke or need GoFundMe because they get sick. The US needs Medicare for all. Insurance just means we all share the risk for the few that need it.

Glad to hear you've kicked cancer's ass.

I am very happy with my life and where we live. I really don't want develop a big business. Can I just be an artisinal meteorologist?

It's second nature to me, but most people are sort of stunned when they see a broadcast quality studio in my (former) garage.

Good thing we live in an oligarchy then, otherwise, we would be upset.
