Frankly, I never quite understood the deal with the "you'd all be speaking X language" argument. If I spoke German, Japanese, Russian och what have you, it would hardly change my life at all. Living under a Nazi regime though, that'd be a terrible prospect.

In the alternative Universe where Kamala won the election, the war in Ukraine is already over. It was prolonged by Trump helping Russia under the guise of "trying to end the war". Still is.

In honour of its proponents, I suggest that the Dmitriev-Witkoff proposal should henceforth be called the Dim-Wit Plan

RenderDoc v1.41 is now available! It adds threaded support for shader debugging, enabling debugging of shaders that use subgroup/wave operations and simulating all threads in a compute group. Full release notes: github.com/baldurk/rend... Binary builds: renderdoc.org/builds

Sometimes I think back to the bravery of that one Iraqi guy that threw his shoe at Bush. Why doesn't anyone ever punch him in the face?

An escalator with more backbone than congress.

Dear President Trump, say after me: "Russia would not have dared to attack NATO member Poland with drones if Joe Biden had still been president."

I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code. (And yes it's really been 10 years 👴). therealmjp.github.io/posts/ten-ye...

ARREST PUTIN THE WAR CRIMINAL

After 18 years later, the domain name humus.se is finally mine! 🎉 When I moved back to Sweden in 2007, it was taken, along with most reasonable alternatives. Ultimately I settled for humus.name out of a handful of terrible choices. I was never really happy with it. Finally, order is restored.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

After a quick test, I found that the best way to deal with enemies is not to use the gun. Just look away and they're gone.

Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

Waltz reminds us that even with end-to-end encrypted apps like Signal, the greatest threat to data security is the donkey between the shoes and the smartphone.

C4310: cast truncates constant value

Well, if anyone was still interested in buying planes from the US, Trump really wants to rub in the message why it is a bad idea.

Resuming military aid and intelligence sharing won't restore trust in US as a partner for delivery of arms. The US defense industry just missed 1 500 billion EUR in defense contracts during these days. Trust can take decades to build, minutes to destroy. The art of the deal ...

Buy European - the next country being blackmailed by the US might be your own.

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

An Ukrainian soldiers message

Russian fascists pictured on the right side of the table have committed over 150,000 war crimes in Ukraine.

An even better option IMHO, is to not have the user wait for this at all and thus not need to inform them about something they don't understand. One way is to preload all shaders in the background during startup, so that once the user is beyond initial cutscenes and what not, it's all loaded.

JCGT announcements are now on BlueSky: bsky.app/profile/jcgt...

The new DirectX 12 Agility SDK 1.615.0 and 1.716.0-preview adds some exciting features! I plan to write more about it on my blog soon. D3D12 Memory Allocator library and D3d12info tool will need an update. devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/agil... #directx12 #dx12

I’m telling you all again… …we could get a massive brain gain in Europe from all this if we play it right. 🧠

Elon Musk be like www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvgZ...

I posted a few days ago the shader ISA code for the atan2() instruction, the size of which appeared to catch people by surprise. This inspired me to write a blog post to discuss the “hidden” cost of shader instructions a bit more. interplayoflight.wordpress.com/2025/01/19/t...

I got a great deal on some flickering lights. They were about 50% off.
