I love this! Happy to see I'm not the only crazy out there trying to port modern renderers to the Spectrum :D I've been meaning to experiment with assembly, but haven't gotten to that yet. This has some good ideas I'd lo

No need to resend inputs with seq IDs <= the last one acknowledged by the server, right? 1-2 seconds sounds like overkill. Unless the server updates themselves are lower than 0.5-1 Hz, but what kind of game is that? A very sparse world w

This is so well made! In the car racing track there's an overpass, and the cursor correctly Z-orders depending on whether you're coming from the upper or lower part of the track. Respect.

Hahaha, good observation :) I ran out of my childhood books (in Spanish) to fix, then I ran out of my GFs childhood books (in Latvian), so at that point I offered my services to anyone in the Google Zürich office. I got books in all kinds o

I'm into book restoration, here's a gallery: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1oNxCfKJp4k6yjoZ9 Much less niche, but I'm also really into acting: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=do5PicgU0Jw

Can we also ban anything where the second line is "let that sink in"? And anything claiming that "X is a masterclass in Y" (especially for (tweet, empathy))?

Can't help but think of George Clooney orchestrating the heist from his villa in Lago di Como (with a perfect alibi somehow). Maybe Brad Pitt was hungry.

That's just, like, your opinion, man. I loved the book and I loved the movie.

Nice, but I'm going to need some ND filters :)

"Brute force" would be trying random weights and keeping the best performing model. Backpropagation is compute-intensive but I wouldn't call it "brute force".

May I add Computer Graphics From Scratch, which covers both rasterization and raytracing? https://gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scratch/i... I have to admit I'm quite surprised by how eerily similar

I used ordered dithering in my ZX Spectrum raytracer ( https://gabrielgambetta.com/zx-raytracer.html#fourth-iterati... ). In this case it's applied to a color image, but since every 8x8-pixel block can only have one of t

Pretty sure they're gone, that's why gphotos-sync and the like have stopped working ( https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync-discussion/discuss... )

I switched to Gmail in 2007 or so. I used to have a gzipped mbox of my previous emails, dating back to maybe 1996 or 1997 when I got my first email account. This file was lost at some point, and I'm really sad about it. In some ways, i

OP's link is a good one, but if you want a different perspective (heh), there's https://gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scratch/i... , also from scratch, also for free. The name clash is unfortunate

My degree was 5 years back in the day. Was it worth it? Maybe, probably. But these days people seem to get a bachelor's and a master's in 5 years, and it kind of pisses me off to have that CV disadvantage when my degree could have

I learned to solder as a pre-teen so I could make a nullmodem :) Then I learned that resistors were a thing when I made a parallel port sound card (this thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covox_Speech_Thing ). Fun time

Great presentation, loved the format! Looking forward to the other two parts. I did a bit of ordered dithering on the ZX Spectrum Raytracer ( https://gabrielgambetta.com/zx-raytracer.html#fourth-iterati... ), it was surprisin

St Peter's Basilica is probably the most mind-blowing for me, even just because of the scale. The intricate facade of the Duomo in Milano, the green and while marble exteriors of the Duomo in Firenze, the (neoclassical?) architecture o
