Occasionally reminded that Georgia added a “post tenure review” process bc they were so certain that professors became deadweight once they had job security, and all the outcomes have proven JUST THE OPPOSITE! People work harder and in more complex ways when they feel secure in their employment.

Bugs in your code? Want to learn some cool debugging tools and systems programming skills from the comfort of your home? Join me for my workshop part of C++ online on Friday, April 17th!

I was starting to do some work, but now I am watching a man climb a skyscraper -- impressive feat for humans! #skyscraper

Someone might know better than me though 🙂

Can have different index buffers depending on the task (one for streamed data, one for static, and dynamic). But your right, need to effectively map to buffer and update chunks as needed if doing lots of dynamic geometry stuff (i.e. malloc with handles into different preallocated chunks).

The first iteration of the D Language Symposium of 2026 will be hosted at Yale University. This is going to be a 2-day event: day 1 is talking, day 2 is about action!

I sat down with Lewis to talk about his game engine in #dlang and #gamedevelopment. Enjoy! #artofreflection

To add context, it is a prompt about whether or not to trust and run some script 😂

@kevlin.bsky.social found a wild terminal screen at the airport! 😂

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

One of my favorite things about bluesky is that when I refresh the tab 'following' it keeps the same content and in chronological order. I can just be done and move on after a quick scrollif nothing changed🙂 Efficient for me, and more considerate of my time

This was fun, and credits to the dhwem3 team for making the port much easier on linux

This has been an excellent conference to listen in on -- I've made it through about 5 or 6 talks on YouTube, and they have all been enlightening. The speakers care, and have the real world experience to back up their topics bettersoftwareconference.com #GameDev #IndieGameDev #BetterSoftwareC

I think Blender3D 's video editing might actually work well here as you could have shapes follow a path with a bit of work. So if it's something you'll do more than once, you could create some infrastructure there

I use kdenlive for my video editing as of now. So you could basically use keyframes for shapes to represent the current. There may also be 'path' tools or plugins.
