"hitbox" vs "hurtbox" is so ambiguous in my head, is it established which is which?
hitbox is either the box that can hit others, or it's box that gets hit
hurtbox is either the box that can hurt others, or it's the box where you get hurt
are there better names for these?

I am still confused by how in a modern OS I can't trivially limit how much CPU time, disk bandwidth and network bandwidth an app gets to use. It should be right there in the Task Manager. Like - that's the whole point of an OS - to manage that stuff. So why not let ME THE USER manage that stuff?

The z-buffer and depth testing (aka z-testing) have been the dominant way of hidden surface elimination for over 50 years, introduced but not implemented in W. Straßer's PhD thesis in 1974, and actually implemented in Ed Catmull's PhD thesis in the same year. 1/4

ooo it's so interesting seeing how dual quaternion splines solve extreme rotational differences!
I made it prefer the shortest path within the quaternion double cover, so when control points pass the 180 degree switch with its neighbors, the path also changes its shape!
