There’s #demoscene, and then there’s this abomination of nature and genius

Somebody must have bet him that he couldn’t make a demo without the computer itself

Many years ago, I wanted a 3D game engine for mobile platforms, a cross-platform alternative to SceneKit.

It took a decade, but it is finally coming:

@Quinnypig Kubernetes is the Greek word for infrastructure toil

Fun random fact: the sample rate of Audio CD format is 44100Hz. The Nyquist frequency for audible sound is roughly double the upper limit of human hearing, which is 20kHz.

So why is the CDDA sample rate more than 40kHz, but only a little bit more?

The prime factorization of 44100 is 2^2•3^2•5^2•7^2, which gives a LOT of options for computationally cheap downsampling and playback speed reduction. 😁

Edit: See replies for more reasons this sample rate was chosen! 💙

Ideally, I'd like to see libc get ported to another more sane programming language, but that take would get me pilloried by neckbeards that insist that C is possible to write safely.

At least I don't have to be pager bitch for THIS time when the entire internet broke due to C.

Is it less bad here than on Shitter? Of course.

Is it non-existent? Nope.

Delete, and move on.

PSA: some people have inane takes on the most fundamental of topics. Some see it as a chance to shoehorn A Topic In The News onto their own lived experience to the point of losing any direct relation with The Topic. Some might even be on your local instance.

Some might be baiting. Some might simply be unaware. Some might simply be wrong

Delete that reply you wrote and move on. If it annoys you some time later, just mute the person for a week or eternity when you next see them

Life's too short

The telemetry dashboard for Japan's #SLIM lunar probe uses @grafana !!

I used shelter via f-droid and that worked. Thanks for the suggestions!

First time in my life using #WhatsApp and it's a cesspool of dark patterns, forced "consent", and deliberate lies. I expected it to be bad, and it still managed to negatively surprise me.

Good thing I won't have to touch it again after this.

I like how this developer effectively made himself a private software modchip to play PS1 game xD https://www.gamesradar.com/after-23-years-developer-reveals-he-snuck-a-cheat-code-past-sony-that-turns-a-cult-classic-horror-game-into-a-godsend-for-retro-enthusiasts/ #gamedev #retrogaming
