Back on my bullshit rn

I really dislike how very few people online have their own unique voice, as algorithmic metric chasing has caused writing to become like a Gaussian blur of thought

does anybody else hate Microsoft Windows as a platform. like i'm not even a Linux diehard i just really don't like Windows

I think deferred shading is a 720p-era technique that's being dragged kicking and screaming into the 4K D3D12 feature level era.

SFall took the classic Fallout engine into very interesting places, I think there's room for a modern engine like this that's easy to build a CRPG for with a good amount of jank tolerance

@randomascii.bsky.social Hi Bruce, I have a puzzling performance issue that has me stumped for a few days and was wondering if you would have any pointers. I'm on an Alder Lake laptop with an ELAN 0406 touchpad and the mouse cursor lags but only when I'm charging...

a new era has begun

and that's why I'm on Bluesky well done Twitter

rookie numbers (I'm on my 14th)

So I put a cache into the hashing and hash every file we see exactly once. I clear the cache at the very beginning of the build, then use it for all build steps. The cache keeps track of what's requested. We are hashing the same file 19922 times, and not much else.

Inspired by some recent work build times, I was looking at Unity's "MegaCity Metro" sample in Unity 6. I got curious about at its build times. In particular for incremental builds (fancy speak for "I pressed the build button repeatedly but only made minimal changes inbetween.")

I don't know about AGI but ChatGPT is smarter than most website writers, reading a website feels like the authors have a deep communication issue

tried cross compiling in Go for the first time and it’s really amazing how “GOARCH=amd64 GOOS=linux go build” just works immediately

speaking of laptops, I'm very good at systems and I think if I had access to hardware design and docs and lead a team of skilled engineers I can build a better laptop than most - why isn't anyone doing this other than Apple?

one USB port on my laptop, if and only if I leave the mouse receiver in it, causes very high interrupt latency after wake from sleep. other ports work fine. after this happens if I unplug the receiver it won't be recognized in that port again, but other devices work in the same port...

look at it stutter

with AVX-2 / AVX-512 and PCIe 3.0 x16 or above, it's feasible to do skinning on the CPU and stream it every single frame at 60 FPS and even 144, judging by a few test scenes I wrote with Ozz Animation. async copy queues and modern APIs are really low latency.

Two years later Sony Santa Monica seems to admit they were wrong. I won't mince words, it takes a special kind of idiot to assume testing in a vacuum under NDA is representative and to expect a pass rate of 100% after < 30 seconds for the entire game.

why use a simple incrementing sequence number and an event queue when you can do whatever this is
