clouds -> difference clouds a few times -> invert -> ctrl+L and compress = lightning is still a recipe in my muscle memory.

I enjoyed the "independents taking control of their education, never stopping the learning for success and profit" section. Specifically for "product", apparently every independent product who is taking control of their

I'm making a game around the pretense that people would enjoy watching someone do this online. It's cool that people are into it in person. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1537490/Tentacle_Typer/

Thank you! I'm always trying to plug things into the wrong things when it seems like they might work in a fun way. PIDs have been a remarkably versatile hammer for lots of things that aren't nails.

My twitter is full of animations ( https://twitter.com/LeapJosh ) Not many other cool uses of pids specifically. Each tentacle is rigged to a chain of bones, somewhat ironically. The bones are physics objects I apply torques

PID controllers are so fun. I experimented with using them to animate tentacles for a game I'm working on. They're great for all sorts of controllers in fiddly physics based systems. ( https://twitter.com/LeapJosh&#

This reminds me of generating signed distance fields from bitmaps by rendering a cone at every target pixel with a vertex color of white at the point and black at the base. I like the method because not only is it silly, it's also very

My first job out of college, I had a manager sit behind me for 8 hours a day with the ol' "move that one pixel to the left, no, 2 pixels to the right.. no back again" after I had impressed the customer with some fast results.

Ah yeah that's a good idea. Assuming there's no reasonable way to do an iframe breakout, that is. I suspect any way I attempted to put this together, ner-do-wells would upload a game that adds upvote/like/subscribe/

Surely somebody has written some verilog somewhere to blow a fuse if something starts oscillating too fast! Because that wasn't her only lie, I'm not going to give her the benefit of the doubt that she was giving good faith retent

My intuition is that the answer is "uhh, no." -- is there any secure way to run untrusted javascript on a page? So that we could have those awesome newgrounds style wildwest galleries where people upload their weirdsies again. I&#

I'm making an FPS game right now that is comparatively an extreme technical challenge for players. You're a first person tentacle monster with a mechanical typewriter, and the words in your heart, as your weapon. No multiplayer pl

Isn't affecting that outcome, for good or ill - the primary work product of our lives? What else can we do?

I'm using Unity3d. I appreciate the guidance!

I'm 200~ days into making a game/text editor hybrid (you're a tentacle monster with a magic mechanical typewriter). I've spent some effort making things accessible. Some fun unexpected things occurred during this process

AFAIK there's GPU analogs for everything physicsBody2d's can do, but not directly. Per particle gravity and forces are batteries included. If you want GPU particles that can collide with other particles there's Fluvio, it&#x2

Ehh, I could put together a thing that could display several million dots at 60 fps in unity in a few minutes. (a recent example of some dots I moved) https://twitter.com/LeapJosh/status/1378056437105049603 Not sa

I've been making a thing called Tentacle Typer for the last 6~ months I'm hoping it'll be a basis for something like you're describing eventually. I've created lots of systems that can enable it. Prolific content cr

Some things about me are probably pretty atypical, but I'll say starlink beats every one of those (for me specifically!) handily. Wikipedia comes closer. Maybe I live long enough to benefit from CRISPR, but I suspect that's for ot

Sounds like peaceful mode is for you. I happen to like the biters. They give a nice "pay off" for all the industry you're creating. They're a chaotic externality that changes how you have to design things. I think they&#

A lot of these comments read kind of like the ones when dropbox did a ShowHN. "Why not just use rsync?" I suspect starlink will change the course of human history in substantial ways. It already stands to be the most positive tech

This is cool to read. I'm about 6 months in making a game 99% myself, full time. Writing all the code / making all the 3d models / sfx / marketing etc. A friend has recently been helping me with music. Reading what you j

Where's one find a reputable broker? I've wanted an isuzu npr elf for a long time. You can get them, but the prices seem vastly higher than they go for overseas. Your shipment cost makes direct import seem down right sensible.

This would be an amusing peripheral for a text editor I'm making involving a 3d mechanical typewriter. https://twitter.com/LeapJosh/status/1340080257399988226

I'm a huge fan of caustics and weird light setups. I'm loving that slab that polarizes out a painting, that's incredible. My tool of choice is luxrender. ( https://luxcorerender.org/ ) can anyone explain how

Sorry about that. My marketing hat is my shabbiest hat. I've been posting nearly daily updates to twitter. If you follow me there you'll have almost as real time a view of development as my cats. If that's anathema, what&#x27
