    I wonder if any of the Rendering Light Transport work includes work towards a spectral renderer.

    The Sims will forever be one of those magic games to me; one that inspired me to learn MAX to get my own items into the game, non-perspective rendering, sprites, z-buffer, iirc. I …

    The software has evolved significantly since 2022, I'd even say that the dev has been flexible and enabled functionality to bridge some more traditional CAD use cases in modern ver…

    My only experience with Mercurial was in game development. What’s used these days in arenas where large file versioning is needed? I think the ultimate answer is maintaining an ass…

    As someone who spent a lot of time sorting, collecting, and selecting typefaces in a print shop, as soon as I saw the details in Berekeley Mono it was a similar experience. (Take m…

    Berkeley Mono is my favourite! It's the crossed seven that matches my handwritten style which I really appreciate. Not very common in other monospace fonts I've tried. I really enj…

    419 Eater was a place to show-off, coordinate, discuss tactics, etc. Topic: Scambaiting I believe it's origins were going directly after the scammers behind an advance-fee scam, a.…

    I’d really like to consolidate my FX8350, 32GB, 2xsata ssd, 4xhdd, 4port gig pcie nic server into a lower power consumption device. I think if it had dual 2.5g nics and dual nvme, …

    I had to shell out for another app[0] on the iPhone to allow for a fairly seamless GitHub workflow. Not sure if it’s changed in recent times. It works great, but I’d imagine someth…

    I always thought peak of popular culture had a bit of a negative effect on the body image of the rest. Now we’re going to let ai define the ideals… this might be slippery.

    I take a trip to the bulk-barn often enough to get “Butter Salt” it’s powdered and yellow. I suspect it’s what goes into the packages for the movie theatre.
