ASTC has support for 3D blocks. But, I don't know how widespread support is for desktop GPUs... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_scalable_texture_comp... For example, apparently support in OpenGL is simply n

In an ideal world, I would sit down with an espresso or a beer, and review collections of research papers on a regular basis. In reality, between work, sleep and family, I rarely have anything resembling that kind of time and mental energy

I’ve heard that a while back Google had a change to their algo that heavily prioritized widely used websites as “trusted”. The very most well known sites in the world, such as cnn.com, would be treated as the best results for anything they

Do they transmit this information anywhere? A lot of this can be attributed to the anti-burn-in tech that dims your screen if the image is mostly-static for a long time.

For a long time eating many small meals throughout the day was advised to keep your metabolism high. Looks like that was completely counterproductive… Now the advice is to limit eating to an 8 hour range of the day, and possibly fast for a

Coming out of the games industry, I am constantly amazed by how rarely people outside of games use debuggers. And, how slow they are to debug everything because of that...

If you can get the work done fast and hurry the processor back into a low-power sleep state ASAP, it can actually be power efficient too!

I don’t have the code handy, but I know it’s pretty easy to Google up the bit hack to convert an integer to a position in a Morton order curve. The new thing I found long ago is that once you have done that, it’s pretty easy to figure out h

I'm guessing this paper is more about "It's neat that this works at all." rather than trying to improve on the state of the art.

An issue with EDSF that WASD dodged was that some keyboards had groupings that could only register a limited number of key-downs simultaneously. I believe EDSF was in one group. But, WASD spanned two. So, on those keyboards you could get ig

There was some grumbling a few years ago that game engine devs were hard to retain because they keep getting pulled away by FAANG cash to optimize servers. I did game engines for a long time. Now I optimize robots.
