After reading a lot of mathematical proofs, I've come to the conclusion that every mathematician really wanted to be an English (or in my case, German) professor.
Also, the subjunctive is now my best friend.
It's really interesting, that almost all of them at least got the position of the minute and hour hands (mostly) right.
Today marks the official start of my bachelor's degree in math! I'm beyond excited ๐
Just released heerich.js, a tiny voxel engine that renders 3D scenes to SVG

I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026.

Even working through only the first few problem sets, I realized how much I love (and missed) chewing through difficult problems. There's something so satisfying about really having to think hard about a problem
It has begun!
I'm especially looking forward to "Introduction to Imperative Programming" (I had to take CS as a minor) ๐ At least they're using Go!
Cocaine
I just flopped on my bed and took a sip of coke and my fitness band excitedly told that I had just reached my calorie goal for the day. Alright then.

I've written up my understanding of SDF and MSDF fonts, and how to use them with msdfgen+webgl: www.redblobgames.com/articles/sdf...
(I'll post it on my blog soon too)
It's the denim shirt, I'm telling you
wow ok
I misread this as "I'm still routinely intimate [...] some people in tech". Not gonna lie, I felt a tinge of jealousy.
FYI, the site should be back up again. Let's hope I don't get any more fraudulent takedown requests ๐ฅฒ

@joe.codes Dude, first you play in Vulfpeck without telling me, now you randomly show up on my YouTube frontpage again. You're a man of many talents, Joe. Or should I say NICOLA?!
Part of the magic of people building stuff pre-AI for me was that no matter how silly the project, someone actually had to think about it and spend their own time building it. "Claude spit this out in 3 minutes" really doesn't hit the same.
The problem with all these AI projects is that they're all so fundamentally .. uninteresting (to me). "My agent built an agent harness so that my agent can agent even harder (with AI!!)". Yeah, cool bro.
My biggest personal annoyance with AI is how no one seems to be building interesting things anymore that aren't AI-related. There's really only a handful of accounts left that I follow which feel like the pre-AI hacker space I used to love.
I put some more info in the issue on GitHub github.com/ksassnowski/... tl;dr: I've sent an appeal to my hosting provider and am waiting for a response. Unfortunately nothing else I can do at the moment :(
I dunno, Marty. "My cats love it" isn't really the strongest selling point to me ๐

So I tried Vegemite for the first time recently and have a question for all my Australian friends: this is a giant practical joke yโall play on the rest of the world, right?
Yeah I noticed. This might take a little bit to resolve because apparently the server's IP got blocked by my hosting provider for some reason ๐ซ
Diablo 2 just got a new expansion. The world is healing.
