New blog post: De-Googling → dubroy.com/blog/de-goog... …in which I tell you about some great services & companies that I'm very happy to have discovered.

it's a well-known secret that the alternative office of geometry prints some of IKEA's manuals

Another one from the old unfinished queue. Found a bunch of new bugs in the editor (introduced by fixing a previous bug) working on this one. Retrospective on being a mother of machines. alpha.weaver.sh/nonbinary.co...

Have you been wishing masonry layouts would just hurry up and arrive in CSS?? Well, happy holidays! webkit.org/blog/17660/i...

wait this looks sick

Taper #15 is out. Each issue contains tiny computational poems centered around a theme. The complete code must be under 2Kb. One of my pieces in the issue is an interactive erasure of Shakespeare's Sonnet 15, in which only half the poem can ever be visible at once. taper.badquar.to/15/sonnet15....

we tried so hard to make computers remember. now all we want is for them to forget

🥻Our new #SIGGRAPH2025 paper introduces a novel pipeline that captures and digitizes physical threads, predicts fabric appearance from the weaving pattern, and aids designers in exploring new possibilities. 🔗 mandyxia.com/research/fabrix.html

MIT News today features a fun SIGGRAPH paper by GDP student Ana (@geometry.gay) collaboarting w/ students @yukaryote.bsky.social @kartikchandra.bsky.social plus us old folks. This work explores what it means to do geometry processing on Escher-like "impossible" shapes! news.mit.edu/2025/mit-mes...

And with more realistic renders, we can also do better device-specific image restoration.

In my spare time, I am working on a mapmaking tool #dnd

Ray marching is a common approach to GPU-accelerated volume rendering, but gives biased transmittance estimates. My new #SIGGRAPHAsia paper (+code) proposes an amazingly simple formula to eliminate this bias almost completely without using more samples. momentsingraphics.de/SiggraphAsia...

do haskell programmers have to go to confession when they have impure thoughts

neutral infrastructure is a fallacy

Honestly all survey papers should include a graphical taxonomy of related work.

here is some impossible architecture

Extended an existing doc to explain Ruby’s VM stack, which I learned from my ZJIT work: docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/co...

Me: I wonder how DIY keyboards are going since I goofed with them during the pandemic? (kevinlynagh.com/keyboards/) Them: We compiled a BRep CAD kernel to WASM so you can generate complex keyboard geometry in your browser. Also you can scan your hands using computer vision. (ryanis.cool/cosmos/)

New: ATmosphere Report #145, with collections of links to interesting atproto articles for November This time, the links are on-protocol, as a @cosmik.network collection, with a page that lets you follow the conversations on @leaflet.pub and @bsky.app traverse.connectedplaces.online

we just added FAIRIES to tldraw.com

Finally finished that post about writing an editor. Found a few more bugs in said editor in the process. alpha.weaver.sh/nonbinary.co...

A lot of folks know me for one or two posts, and might not know I've created nine (9!) visual explanations of computer science topics, aimed at practitioners. If you're looking for things to read this Thanksgiving, I think you'll love them. Computer science is a lot of fun, when explained well. ❤️

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

- kubernetes is a database, actually

if you die in atproto you die in real life

and yet they won't verify "dan layus from augustana"

ty @natalie.sh for putting me onto this - looks super cool 🫶

fsck is great because you say it constantly while using and needing to use it

empathy is a double edged sword

Being a transsexual puts you at an inherent advantage with FPGA engineering, since you already have experience with reconfigurable hardware alongside minimizing clocking issues.
