It's shader-based using a technique called raymarching.

Classy obiturary by the EFF. Cryptome seems to have been around forever in internet terms - I just checked and indeed it's been almost 30 years. RIP John, your site was Wikileaks l…

I loved this tool. Always ran it with fluxbox as the WM.

>Naturally, a suspended UI thread is going to manifest itself as a hang. The correct terminology is 'stopped responding' Raymond. You need to consult the style guide.

Written after he broke up with Lesbia. Yes it is very sad that I can instantly recall this after fifty odd years. Perhaps Latin really does train your brain and memory.

I am an emacs user. I meant moving from my ridiculously customized setup accumulated over 20 years to the Solo configuration.

Whoops. Hmm, I thought you could edit HN comments but obviously not.

I'm a long time fan of David Williams' demos on the channel. Emacs Solo was quite inspiring in that it made me want to seriously adopt it for a month or two just to see if I could …

I was completely blown away when I realized that the opening cinematic was the actual game engine. First time I'd ever seen it and the scenes cleverly foreshadowed what was coming.…

Lokimedes doesn't need to hear all this. He's a highly trained professional.

Very interesting observations. My sister lives outside Tokyo and is an assistant English teacher under the JET Programme which is a government initiative to bring language teachers…

I'm trying to remember the reason we couldn't use MQTT-Sockets. I do remember we couldn't though. Also we could not use Web sockets server side.

Reposting my comment from five years ago: I once had a client where the only port available for me to use on their firewalls was for MQTT (1883) because that's how we were getting …

The author did some very cool work with Raylib interpolating between animations to make transitions more natural. I remember being blown away at how realistic it looked from the vi…

In Devops is turtle all the way down but at bottom is Perl script.

Never stomp on the current directory when someone extracts your archive. No source so no-one knows what it's doing in the background. Needs glibc 2.38. That having been said, it lo…

Santa Cruz beachfront had one of these back in the mid 90s. Durban beachfront had one in the 70s.
