I can't be the only one that constantly has Time Machine on my mac fuck up doing backups. It's stuck in the Preparing to Backup -> YOU DIDN’T DO A BACKUP loop again.
I have a strong dislike for magic in software, especially when there isn't a fallback button to force something to happen and/or tell me why the fuck it can't. ARGH.
As someone who likes to understand how things work, I don't really find ML interesting, but I do like to dabble to understand what's going on. Wife and I were stuck on the last word in Spelling Bee yesterday, so I was curious how it would go...
It's a little weird that "QuickTime Player" is still a thing. Who remembers QuickTime as a thing outside of us old people who lived back in the days before h.264 won? I should rename it "Smacker Player" or something.
Also it's a bit weird that it doesn't support modern features like... advance 30s, reverse 15s, etc. I feel the same way when I'm listening to music in the Apple ecosystem and want to use podcast style +/- time features to relisten to something, when I'm pedantically pointing out how great Nas is to my children.
A good reason to use colour rather than color in your code is that colour has the same number of letters as both albedo and normal so you can align your code better.
I am excited to finally share our recent paper "Filtering After Shading With Stochastic Texture Filtering" (with Matt Pharr, @marcosalvi, and Marcos Fajardo), published at ACM I3D'24 / PACM CGIT, where we won the best paper award! 1/N
@aras@BartWronski@demofox I'm also serious, come hang out in Portland with Wade & I and work for a bit on whatever out of our office. Alternatively, I'm still trying to get out to Poland at some point and take a motorcycle trip with Drobot up to your neck of the woods.
@BartWronski@aras@demofox It may be Sept or Oct, will let you know. Michal and I have also talked about doing a bike-packing trip across Scotland, we'll see what happens, and go bug @neil if we do…
Thank you to the @i3d committee and @BartWronski for a wonderful I3D 2024, was great to attend and help in a small way. And Patrick Cozzi and Cesium for being such good hosts, including letting me take two hours of calls in their offices after the conference finished :).
Random thing I ran into in London was seeing this logo on a door and remembering always eating here when visiting SF for GDC. Turns out it’s a weirdly sprawling high end chain with owners including an Abu Dhabi investment firm, good times.
@icculus@olafurw there was also the dlopen() problem in gcc back then, where global objects in shared libraries registered their destructors with atexit() and then you had invoked dlclose() and their .text segment was unloaded. Good times. Although we should have had a Codesourcery patched toolchain at that point I thought.
