I was curious and looked up what European languages other than Danish use the Latin 'origo' for a coordinate system origin. It seems like it's just the Nordic languages: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/origo#Danish

@pervognsen Weird that German is so close yet I can’t find a good equivalent for the time prefix Ur in Danish. Urzeit, Uralt, Urahn, Urzustand, Urvater or Urwald all translate into something that often has a counterpart in German.

Uralt with Google is particularily funny, it just drops the Ur and turns into gammel (alt).

It's December 31, I couldn't close this year without posting a new article on my website. ;)

I wanted to write a recap (and some additional thoughts) on all the work I did building my own game engine called "Ombre" over the past year: https://www.froyok.fr/blog/2023-12-ombre-dev-blog-1/

@froyok Nice blog! Could you add RSS/Atom feeds so we could subscribe to it?

@froyok Would be super nice. I have a bunch of blogs like yours that I’d love to read regularly and I only stumble across new content because of a random boost or mention somewhere. Thanks for considering!

@froyok This is fantastic, thank you so much!

Btw, you can add this to your header and every reader software will autodetect the RSS feed from just your main URL:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="Froyok RSS feed"
href="/rss.xml" />

@froyok Do you use a static page generator?

I'm looking for people who could help me test Spark on exotic Android devices. Some examples:

  • Galaxy S22 - the EU version with RDNA chip.
  • Huawei mate 60 - really curious to see how this performs.
  • Adreno 5xx with drivers between 490 and 331.
  • Chromebooks
  • Oculus/Meta Quest
  • Any other unusual or known to be problematic device.
    Please, message me directly if you could test on any of these, or help me spread the word!

@castano I may be able to help out on the Mate 60. Devices are currently hard to get, but in my team we have some. Just a friendly reminder: The Chinese version is switching away from Android. APKs are still running, but only for a certain period until transition to a new OS is complete.

The GPU is, from an architecture standpoint, similar to Mali and should reaxt similar to the same optimizations.
