   Thanks, though I think part of longhard feeling labourious these days is RSI sadly. I did try to correct my scrawl for effort and legibility a while ago, but it just wouldn't stick!

   I got PT Mono in the game, but this gave me the kick I needed to remember about ProggyClean[1] and track it down. Used to love it many years ago, time to give it another spin and see if it holds its own. There's a vector version[2] now

   I love taking notes by hand for better retention, but (my) longhand is just too slow. It's also an inconvenient format for representing a hierachy or graph of connections. Anyone else into what my high school biology teacher loved refe

   This is lovely. I'd hoped to see The Coral Beach on the Isle of Skye[1] featured. In retrospect the bits are maybe a bit large[2] to be called "sand". I'm sure it's very much frowned upon these days but somewhere I

   Bit twitchy indeed but still fun. Instantly took me back to "rubber glenz vectors" in classic Amiga prods[1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZTnR3FpUEA&start=413

   Really cool idea, will try to have a play later. The concept reminds me a little of some books available in the 1980s that combined a story with little BASIC type-in programs[1]. More modern alternatives along a similar line are also availa

   If you just see the conclusion I think it's hard to immediately grok how rotation can arise from this. This is a great technique for cheaply doing 3D starfields etc on 8-bit machines. Look ma, no sine table!

    I've been thinking about this since [1] the other day, but I still love how rotation by small angles lets you drop trig entirely. Let α represent a roll rotation, and β a pitch rotation. Let R(α) be: ( cos α sin α 0) (-si

    This is fantastic. I have a TUF-3 but to use one to tune an acoustic was a real trip :)

    "hey why'd you make that bid?" is a valid question that must be answered during a game of bridge..

    Good article, but I really really enjoyed the (non-deterministic!) falling objects with physics engine at the top of the page.

    Looks really cool, I'll try it later. Just wanted to let you know that for me, on FF and Chrome, your blog is rendering rgba(235, 235, 235, 0.64) text on white BG, and I'd really like to be able to read it. Edit: Also immediately

    Possibly unhelpful for OP, but for MSVC try /NODEFAULTLIB for specific libraries, or IgnoreAllDefaultLibraries to remove everything not explicitly specified to the linker. On x86 only, if you need to cast floats, try /QIfist (depr

    in bitcoin terminology it is actually called policy rather than consensus, meaning you can choose your own config and still meet consensus rules.
