An update on rustls performance: it’s still pretty fast.

I'd love to read a write-up of this tech!

I like to think of 2D scene lighting as approximating a top-down orthographic projection of a 3D scene -- so there's a light source offset from the plane, being reflected towards the camera.

Would representing the functions as spherical harmonics help?

They solve different problems. Will you ever need to abstract over the set of types which can be printed? If so, then you'll likely end up reinventing traits no matter what you do. Simple type-directed name resolution is great regardless though!

Encrypt with a passphrase + backblaze? Layer borg in-between if you need deduplication.

Grateful for my trans friends and all the wonderful trans folk I’ve met in the Rust community and elsewhere. Hoping with all my heart that the world becomes a better, safer place for trans people

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source.

It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks.

I think it loses a lot of points for thoroughly obscuring its sole actual function: wrapping audio encoding around an async sample stream. Even the crate docs didn't make this clear!

*bewilderedly* Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone?

*with growing ire* It has to be made, like bread??

*shaking with indignation* Remade all the time??? Made new?!

Maybe it's the success criteria? I think most definitions of "a good game" set a high bar, whereas the space of things that can be called game engines is large, and includes things which might not support a good game at all.

I have this problem but I'm pretty sure it's because I've spent twenty years programming and ~none designing games.

I wonder if this would be a practical solution for numerically robust mesh booleans...

always figured that's where we were headed tbh

Tracking Issue for NonMin and NonMax types. · Issue #151435 · rust-lang/rust Feature gate: #![feature(nonmin_nonmax_types)] This is a tracking issue for rust-lang/libs-team#721 NonMin and NonMax are niche types, like NonZero, that provide niches at T::MIN and T::MAX respect...

To the contrary, this has been making progress without the feature creep!

Let me just exec this handy portable error dialog tool...

A pegboard at a hardware store, festooned with tools, with smoke closing in on it from above and below.

When you think of a legal loophole, you probably imagine a drafting error (or perhaps a sneaky insertion) that creates an advantage for a specific person or group of people.

I'm honestly mixed on this. Linking the world into a monolithic binary isn't always the best, though exec isn't a great ABI either.

Have you looked into treating it as a tonemapping problem?

It’s actually a great time to care about the craft. I don’t know if people realize this but you can actually write whatever you want into the prompt box. You can use the AI to get the function just right instead of making it generate crap as fast as possible.
