Two small pleated ink cap mushrooms grow between dewey blades of grass in my lawn. A droplet clings to one green leaf to their left. All photos by me

It’s really something watching all the tech people who used to be so enthusiastic about the Internet and how it democratizes knowledge and gives people access to free publishing give it all up for a Skinner box and fascism

Today doesn't mark independence day. Not anymore. It'll forever mark the day democracy died.

While we usually try and keep a brave face, todays reality is sufficiently grim as to demand exception.

The dream that was once America, has fallen to the @GOP

How we respond, echos in eternity.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

As I continue to hear about more and more cool projects being canceled and friends facing trying times due to our chief executive's petty brinksmanship, I wonder how long before the "no politics" people will be forced to finally realize that politics do affect our hobby?

Shabby politics doubly so.

Bilinear interpolation on a quadrilateral using Barycentric coordinates A new algebraic method for hardware-accelerated bilinear interpolation on convex quadrilaterals is presented, using the Barycentric coordinate feature of modern GPUs.

πŸ”Ό Triangles may have won the hardware-acceleration rendering battle ... πŸ”Ό

⏹️ ... but the method in our latest blog enables emulation of quadrilateral rasterization, through bilinear interpolation of quadrilateral vertices! ⏹️

See how it squares up: gpuopen.com/learn/biline...

The cover of a calendar featuring Morris, the ginger cat mascot of the food company, stood up in front of a desk on which a computer keyboard and monitor rests. Looks like its an integrated PC and monitor as the keyboard cable, one of those old curly ones, goes into the bottom. There's some floral wallpaper and a vase of pink and white flowers in shot too. No idea what computer model it may be!

A Cat For Our Times - Morris, 1986

Vector-green moggies and retro-tech. This ginger techie was one of the many Morris mascots for the 9Lives brand of cat food over the decades.

"Chips and salsa while you wait" should be a thing everywhere, not just Mexican restaurants. Trip to the bank? Chips and salsa. Oil change? Chips and salsa. Therapy session? CHIPS. AND. SALSA. You can't tell me we don't deserve this after the last few years.

A black book cover. Top right, an 'IP' logo, intended to mimic the Usborne logo but not sueably so. Top, the title "Creating Adventures on your Commodore 64," in white sans-serif angular block font. Center, a black dragon hoists a sparking blue ball in its clutches. At bottom, in the same font but in yellow and smaller, are the authors: Clive Gifford and Robert Young.

I could make a whole sub-bot based just on programming books with dragons on the cover. (Source.)
