Just remembered ShaderToy existed again. Always a joy to browse

My favourite web framework is Luau.

I'm aware of a DMCA takedown from Mojang over Blox Classic. I'm working on it.

Been experimenting with Cursor to see whether the hype is anything at all. It's not about to replace a Real Programmer but it sure does make it far less of a pain in the ass to make MSAA work in webgpu

looking forward to the next samsung update:

what's old is new again

i love these caves

blur is a cool effect in UI but I feel like frosted glass is overplayed where's the opaque but shiny UI at. make things look like they're reflecting something in front of them

beg for mercy

undertale was really good, wish it had a sequel

This has to be the nerdiest photo I've ever taken.

Light flowing between cascades :)

I am disappointed in the AI discourse steveklabnik.com/writing/i-am...

adobe: so you want to rent a car from us? :) me: ..yes? adobe: okay so jake over here- jake: im READY 💪 *reloads rifle* TO RIDE!! WOO adobe: jake will be in the car at all times, with a gun to your head :) me: adobe: he will shoot you in exactly 30 days if the car is not back by then :)

these days it feels like android vendors differentiate themselves solely by control centre design

Steam Deck is a real challenge to optimise for but it's looking possible with some caching and spreading work across frames :)

re bsky: imo having a centre-left space with the same unpleasant social dynamics as twitter doesn't make those social dynamics actually pleasant. you just can't do a "global town square" and expect it not to be awful. if it was ever possible it's long since stopped being so.

New blog post - Out and about: distractionware.com/blog/2025/05...

I can't believe we're going to get subprime burrito crisis. www.ft.com/content/6c4b...

oh neat they added Fusion scopes to JavaScript v8.dev/features/exp...

as much as I love blaming capitalism on things I think the "lazy devs more money" discussion around computer graphics is borderline cult insanity

A new blog post on our N64 demo: 30fps.net/pages/palett... It explains the normal mapping technique and how baked lighting was stored and composited at runtime. Also reveals what a hack the specular effects were!

itertools::iproduct! is incredible for iterating over grids and I want it in every other language

I really have trouble lending credence to this criticism of "XYZ YouTube circle is such a *clique*" because whenever you ask people to elaborate, it seems like they are just describing the concept of Having Friends

doing a small EGG-themed jam with @increpare.bsky.social #screenshotsaturday

why do you keep on showing up when i explicitly close you every time I open a new workspace I don't even have copilot installed as an extension
