Happy Pi Day! In a certain sense, π is not a constant, but a variable. Using our usual Euclidean distance, it is 3.14159… but applying other L^p norms on ℝ², half the unit circle's perimeter will give other values. For instance, at p=1 (taxicab geometry), “π” = 2√2. At p ≈ 2.2, it's 3.20.

EVERYBODY STAY CALM! we have realtime area lights in godot, I REPEAT, AREA LIGHTS IN GODOT, this is not a drill 🚨 🗣️

if you wanna know the types of bugs I gotta deal with the one I'm currently investigating is "non binary cats with dwarfism crash the game if playing in brazilian portugese"

I always find it annoying that you can't use function static variables in a DLL hot reload system. Well, not anymore! I found a solution for that! Demo:

Lynn Conway, electricial engineer and computer scientist, co-architect of the VLSI design revolution, and transgender activist, was born #OTD in 1938. She invented Dynamic Instruction Scheduling at IBM, but IBM fired her when they learned she was transitioning. 🧪 👩‍🔬 Photo: Lynn Conway

Comission for @xubiod.net 🌟 Thank you for the commission :3

We're a little over the 15% goal in about 5 hours, thank you all so far! hope he can get to 200 so everyone who missed out can get one ^^

had to da share zo out of a party, straight up was not having a good time :/

Mandatory :

americans be destroying our night sky and possibly triggering Kessler's syndrome because ISPs don't wanna install fiber optic links

Anyways.

i fucking hate c++ std::ostream format specifiers, who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to make them stateful

💥 It's a Re;MATCH !! #ReMATCHPuzzleFighter Thank you again @brotherminggames.bsky.social for commissioning me!!

having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you: you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.

it's definitely not the year of the linux desktop when i have to kill kde plasmashell half the time i boot

Anyone saying "Scientists don't want you to know this fact" has never met a scientist. Scientists are famous oversharers. They can't wait to tell you all the nerdy details.

if you think that the precariously balanced tower of flash above is an inaccurate representation of what's going on, i can reassure you that (a) this is exactly how it looks like, and (b) SK Hynix is up to 24 layers already (not sure in what […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

Sorry for posting this so late, but here's my Samus commission from @hoshizoralone.bsky.social !! Thank you so much!!! :•)

holy fuck

So proud I get to help @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social create this incredibly important historical game, despite the powers that be in the games industry insisting that Palestinians can not be allowed to tell their story.

imagine posting the failures of your job and product like this. 'oopsie doodles I dont understand the tool I am pushing onto schools and governments worldwide so we can defend our stock price. lol! we are the smartest innovators look at us'

Wow Signal

lmao

3,488 triangle edition of the Utah teapot, environment mapped by a hardware geometry engine through my recreation of the SST-1 fixed function pipeline. Important note: because it is the Utah teapot, the bottom is missing. Wouldn't be right to add it. 100% FPGA hardware. Entirely SystemVerilog.

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

bringing this one over from cohost

i love i love math or physics explainer videos from <100k subs channels

people keep talking about the shortages like "in the future you'll only be able to rent a computer in the cloud" and i just want to be clear about the fact that i would rather fucking die

"how's ram shortage going" this is trending on aliexpress

this is the largest circuit board i've ever completely reverse engineered. 8 layers, larger than a sheet of paper, 1000s of nets, over 1000 parts. 🧵

and on a meta-level "what do you mean by X?" seems to often be interpreted as "I'm astonished you believe X, explain yourself" instead of "I'd like to know your current working definition of X just to make sure I'm understanding your statement as intended"

Do you desire the cold touch of a machine or the gentle tinge of static against your lips this valentines day? I got you covered...
