Still alive and kicking. You just need to know where to look.

PS6 will be written in Rust.

Case in point: don't choose a hobby that can be taken away from you on the whims of some dickhead Google exec.

Or just defining the result of division by zero as zero "for safety": https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/divide-by-zero/ It boggles the mind, truly!

>But math never decreed that sine and cosine have to take radian arguments! Ummm, actually it did. The Taylor-series of sine and cosine is the simplest when they work with radians.…

That's not really ray-tracing. That's just regular GPU rendering with physically-based materials and some ray-tracing effects for extra chrome.

Any non-trivial project would quickly reach RLIMIT_NOFILE as inotify is non-recursive, so you'd need to open a new fd for each monitored file.

This guy is very smart!

The fedora-tipping is strong in this one.

Lol! You're pretty unhinged.

It's an optical MNIST recognizer.

Wildly wrong.

More like third-party software (Slack, Figma, VSCode, anything web-based) is getting even more bloated as their engineers' machines get upgraded to M1 Pros.

Yep. I don't want mobile carriers to be anything but dumb pipes.

RCS is inferior to iMessage simply because it doesn't work on tablets and desktop computers. Since RCS is tied to mobile carriers, who don't want to give up control over those juic…

120 years ago we knew that some things can fly, because we saw birds. We just had to figure out how to do the same with humans. On the other hand, we have never encountered anythin…

I know. But the second sentence of the article starts with: "Neverball uses legacy “fixed function” OpenGL." But also you could simply remap the Z coordinate of gl_Position at the …

Couldn't you just pre-multiply the projection matrix to remap the Z range from [-1,1] to [0,1]?
