If you haven't seen tom7's youtube channel: Every single video at https://www.youtube.com/c/suckerpinch/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/suckerpinch/videos is a treat. Mind-bending, deeply funny, and amazingly work-intensive.
- xmprt 6y agoHis video on anagraphs is interesting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTBAW-Eh0tM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTBAW-Eh0tM) especially if watched alongside his followup video proving that generalized kerning is an undecidable problem (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_npHZbe3qM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_npHZbe3qM)
- nonbirithm 6y agoTom7 will probably be the only person ever to bring up strange loops as part of a self-referential narrative for reverse engineering an NES and programming a slideshow presentation with the diagrams of that reverse engineering... on the NES itself.
- draw_down 6y agoThat was one of my favorite talks I’ve ever seen. I was really pleased to see this today because I was just thinking of the NES talk the other day and wondering what tom7 was up to.
- kibwen 6y agoSeconded, thirded, and fourthed. My favorite is "NaN Gates and Flip FLOPS", where he dismisses 0 and 1 as being too ugly to be the foundation of all computation and reinvents computing via the beauty of rational numbers, which is to say, the horror of IEEE754 floating point (along with a working hardware implementation!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TFDG-y-EHs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TFDG-y-EHs
