Windows Disk Management wouldn't let me shrink my OS partition because part of the MFT was in the way.
The free version of EaseUS Partition Master did the trick...
But, I realized only afterward that I probably could've used SysInternals Contig to defrag the NTFS metadata files myself.
Whoops.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Made a simple Verlet rope/cloth physics simulation with collision for my s&box Tech Jam 1 entry.
Anyone can play it here:
sbox.game/duccsoft/rop...
The integration and collision resolution happen in a compute shader. I generate SDF volume textures to support mesh collisions.

Day 10/34 of making rope physics for the
#sbox
Tech Jam.
Verlet rope isn't too hard, as there are many examples and tutorials online. The part where I needed to get creative was resolving point vs mesh collisions. It's glitchy right now, but I've learned lots about compute shaders.

Made a lava lamp simulator in s&box.
You can play it now: sbox.game/duccsoft/lav...
The lava blobs are SDF spheres with smooth min, ray marched in a shader.
I'll expose more simulation parameters to the player once I make further progress on a certain UI library...

s&box Weekly Review for the week of 2024/11/04
Better late than never, right? I talk about some more updates to the engine and gush about some experimental water.

Hopefully the video quality here is better than on Twitter.
s&box is my favorite game engine right now.
Here's an underwater scene I hastily threw together with existing assets. I made some components that use video either as light cookies, or as textures that override a material on a model.
