Sorry for maybe asking a stupid question, but if i understand correctly, the nounce is just a secret as the private key. But the nounce is not needed for the signature check? So, it can be choosen random and then simply forgotten after signature generation?
After first quick google search, it looks like there is also the term nounce use here but it is deterministic and just counted up which does not seem to fit with the article: https://developpaper.com/the-nonce-of-ethereum/
Am I missing something?

if you are interested in rendering, don't miss out John's talk at 5pm dallas time today: "Principles of Lightining and Rendering with John Carmack"
http://www.quakecon.org/event-schedule/
Should also be streamed on the quakecon twitch stream.
according to the keynet video, it is supposed to be a talk he has given internally at id before and was urged to redo it at quakecon.
"John will present a lecture-style presentation on the physics of light transport and rendering. He will discuss how light behaves in the real world, and the approximations and compromises that are involved in simulating the behavior with computers. Note: not for the technically faint at heart."

Anybody knows how other companies like universal's animation department (ice age, despicable me, ...) stand technology-wise? From the visuals, i always assumed pixar is setting the standards but now knowing that they just start to use unified raytracing, the gap might not be that big...

i am not anti-java. not at all.
but to be honest, creating this simple web service shows really how complicated some things are in java.

I also found that its definitely the best guide. A good companion to look at some things from another angle are also these tutorials: http://duriansoftware.com/joe/An-intro-to-modern-OpenGL.-Tab...

thanks for the clarification. that helped a lot to get the understanding straight. always thought I am missing something fundamentally. Looking forward to the read.
in the end i also think super-calls are not a very good concept as you normally don't know what the super calls are doing internally, but somehow it seems like the way to go as almost every mainstream language/framework is supporting/doing it... but i guess that's the general bitter taste i get from classical inheritance...

I never find an answer to my most daunting question: how is the pattern for doing something like a super call in this prototypal model?
bar.prototype.methodname? what if the method is only defined in the proto-prototype? I.e. Foo? Do I then have to explictly know this and write bar.prototype.prototype.methodname?
I hope you know what I mean. This concept of super-calls does not transfer well to prototypal inheritance for me. Are there other patterns that should be used instead?

not 100% on topic, but as the author is doing his mod because he likes to have a voxelized and fully destrutable word: I remember Red Faction. Is there any in-depth review/interview on the technology they used at the time? Looked like "simply" carving out destructed structures from a polygon model; But would be interested in the details...
