Typography nerds are some of my favourite nerds. Font specimen pages are so often screaming with design language and intention, they push and prod to evoke and present. Maybe the secret has something to do with the lack of priority to the a

I wonder if any of the Rendering Light Transport work includes work towards a spectral renderer.

I always wanted them to turn the traffic lights from Jaguar into a fully shader based orbs. Full @2x/Vector Aqua Liquid Glass in all it's glory...

The Sims will forever be one of those magic games to me; one that inspired me to learn MAX to get my own items into the game, non-perspective rendering, sprites, z-buffer, iirc. I still play and work in 3D to this day, game modding has taug

The software has evolved significantly since 2022, I'd even say that the dev has been flexible and enabled functionality to bridge some more traditional CAD use cases in modern versions. For example when you sketch shapes on a workplan

I got excited thinking rocksdb.org was geology related... it was not.

My only experience with Mercurial was in game development. What’s used these days in arenas where large file versioning is needed? I think the ultimate answer is maintaining an asset stack containing files that allow for inherit diff chunks

Same! Cannot wait. I think I learned it from cursive and carried it over to sans. Thanks Neil for a great product.

As someone who spent a lot of time sorting, collecting, and selecting typefaces in a print shop, as soon as I saw the details in Berekeley Mono it was a similar experience. (Take my money) It's homey while having the appropriate modern

Berkeley Mono is my favourite! It's the crossed seven that matches my handwritten style which I really appreciate. Not very common in other monospace fonts I've tried. I really enjoy this font for development and writing documenta

419 Eater was a place to show-off, coordinate, discuss tactics, etc. Topic: Scambaiting I believe it's origins were going directly after the scammers behind an advance-fee scam, a.k.a. the "Nigerian prince scam". 419 is in re

Classic scambaiting, reminds me of 419 Eater.

I’d really like to consolidate my FX8350, 32GB, 2xsata ssd, 4xhdd, 4port gig pcie nic server into a lower power consumption device. I think if it had dual 2.5g nics and dual nvme, plus a couple sata built in I’d be happy. But more than one

My thoughts too. I would often induce a quick g-force to get the last few drops out of the same fluid tank. I could see the same triggering a sensor under similar circumstances.

I suspect they are seeing a lot more penetration into the Product Vis/Architect/CAD markets now that polygon optimization to just get realtime isn't as much of a concern.

I had to shell out for another app[0] on the iPhone to allow for a fairly seamless GitHub workflow. Not sure if it’s changed in recent times. It works great, but I’d imagine something more tightly coupled with obsidian.md would eliminate th

Okay, agreed. I ran about 15-20 gens through the site, got mangled feet/legs, disconnected appendages, extra appendages, nudity, nudity imprinted onto clothing, just bizarre stuff. Tomorrow's "Now", maybe.

I always thought peak of popular culture had a bit of a negative effect on the body image of the rest. Now we’re going to let ai define the ideals… this might be slippery.

This was absolutely an issue back as far as XP with apps like 3D Studio Max. I remember starting to use Font management software to keep the installed system lean and manageable. I’m also talking about a few thousand font types/variant

I think I luck out and have a Steam cache in my geographic region. I often find the downloads from Steam max my net connection (1500Mbps), decompression almost takes longer than the transfer in my experience. How do you find the download sp

Gosh, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen1 and Gen2 are awful, dreadful, terrible machines. I can understand having a thermal constraint tied to the thinness of chassis, but you would think it’d maybe throttle instead of shutting off in the mid

My go-to is either gods from Norse mythology, or Transformers for servers. I set my iPhone to an emoji, and apparently it's one of the emojis that is composed of multiple emojis to render correctly. It's fun to see how every devic

I take a trip to the bulk-barn often enough to get “Butter Salt” it’s powdered and yellow. I suspect it’s what goes into the packages for the movie theatre.

Knowing full well that you enjoy the popped corn enough to develop such a method. The one thing that took my basically verbatim instructions to the next level, was to add some “Butter Salt” in with the oil so the kernels are coated as they

I wonder how much of the mainboard is essentially blank? (Just a plane or essentially traceless) With unified memory, that certainly simplifies the “desktop” format considerably.

This has always been in the back of my mind anytime AMD has some new GPUs with nice features. Gamers will say this will be where AMD will win the war. But I fear the war is already won on the compute that counts, and right now that’s CUDA a

My favourite way to spend a day or two is to turn off my iPhone, toss it in the glovebox and hit the highway to the Rockies. If more life was “disconnected” at least my inner peace would be bolstered.

Are there any active alternate shell packages for Windows? I used to run Blackbox4Windows or BBLean way back when. Very stale these days though.
