It seems to me that code gets ugly because the incentive structure rewards coders with a large feature velocity. If they write garbage that mostly works but will be very hard to maintain or expand, they can write on their resumes that they

This is my first indie game, which I made in reaction to the pandemic. I'm not aware of any bugs, but I know the game play still needs some work to make the game more compelling. Please share any suggestions you have! The game doesn&

You have made the standard comment that tells me I need a better video explanation. The primary goal is to decide what geometry to send right now, which is a different question than, "What optimization techniques can I use to cull geom

This is pretty cool. I sent the link to a professional author friend with a dated website.

Please try the "New Proof of Concept," and let me know what you think. The source code is available for the "Old Proof of Concept." The demo intends to showcase the "visibility precomputation" concept. I real

The article seems laden with strawman arguments. A lot of FOSS software is exceptional, and it isn't made by Google, et. all. For examples: Ubuntu, Blender 3D, etc. (I realize that Ubuntu includes binary blobs, and Blender gets money

I created a video and proof-of-concept demo of "visibility precomputation." The goal is to determine what geometry, in a 3D world, is visible from a given volume. If you know the answer, you can deliver the world as streaming ge

The company was not profitable, and I decided not to exercise my options. It was an eye opening experience when I started trying to look at the company objectively without the startup Kool-Aid flying around. I get the impression that it is

That's a fair comment, but I'm certain I don't possess Lebron-like ability when it comes to equity analysis. For me, the moral of the story is that people should go to the source material--contracts, laws, etc.--rather than

This pitch reminds me of those commercials for weed whackers where people are shown acting like replacing the string is on the level of rocket science. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p22T3ZypQtA After I left my last job, I

If I ever resume working on the project, creating a visual editor would be a priority. I have an open "issue" on my Github repo to do that. My inspiration is the Glade GUI editor for Gnome. The visual editor would output the XM

Hi, all. Thanks for the upvotes. This little demo is something I created in 2015 because my then-girlfriend liked to play point-and-click games, and she had an idea for one. The idea never got off the ground, but at least I got a fun por

Were you able to get it to work? (I'm the developer of the demo.)
