Shocked that it happened, but grateful that the indirect draw structures all match across Vulkan/Metal/D3D12. Just one less thing to worry about.
Transporting them is fine until you need to turn, then the gyroscopic effects really become interesting!
At least in swift they're statically checked, and they don't involve stack unwinding. Basically a Result<T, E> in disguise, but for some reason they kept the exception syntax
This + some other existing extensions could get you very close to the API described here. Once slang support and drivers catch up it could be a good exercise. www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-grap...
Vulkan is getting descriptor heaps. Seems like a significant simplification, looking forward to driver support docs.vulkan.org/refpages/lat...
This is very good and thank you for reminding me of how much I love that game (and also Dan's goofy playthrough)
Metal is also 0-1 for NDC z, so all the modern APIs are in agreement.

I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".
The grand wooden spiral staircase in the AGO
The interior of the Gallery at the AGO, with glass windows and wooden curves reminiscent of a canoe
RIP to Frank Gehry. The Art Gallery of Ontario is probably my favorite space in Toronto, in no small part because of his design
Wait, they're using Stingray? Game development timelines really have gotten out of hand...
MSVC still defaults to permissive/non-standard mode, where templates are only checked/compiled when instantiated. If you add /permissive- to the command line it will also complain, because then templates are syntax checked at the point of definition, which is the indended standard behavior.
Ah right, forgot about that flag. Looks like I just need to fully qualify the name or alias it to make the lookup happy. Still, not an edge case I've hit before! godbolt.org/z/dKnWrezsc
Huh, I think this is the first time I've found such a major compiler difference. Feels like MSVC is right here, not sure why Clang/gcc wont compile. Note it works correctly if the parent class isn't a template. godbolt.org/z/c76exG6ha
Man, shipbreaker was so good. Played through it on my paternity leave, was the perfect zen game to play with a newborn asleep on my chest.
Blue Prince and Silksong were my GOTY, I was strictly going for the pun :). You break a lot of ground in DK.
Donkey Kong was definitely the most ground breaking game I've played this year
Could take advantage of ‘sqrt(x) = 2^(log2(x)/2)’, since those can all be bitshifts/built in ops. Might be off by a little if there’s rounding down in the division, but would be a good initial guess and could loop from there.
Worth calling out that top level statements are now a thing -(devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/annou...) but I agree that this is late to the party. Especially with projects like uv making the python ecosystem a bit easier to use, it's an uphill battle for C#
They're on different release cycles entirely. The Pro 3s are the most recent release, the AirPods 4 were a 2024 release.
What baffles me is that it's just... not a problem the federal (or state) government needs to be involved in? Like we don't need legislation deciding the rules for baseball, and it seems insane to suggest otherwise
There's an old joke about Canada just being 3 corporations in a trench coat. It's increasingly true about the USA, just with a bigger coat.
Yeah, the original court case was around whether a movie critical of Hillary Clinton could be run on TV before the 2008 primary, and I can get behind not letting the government stop that, but the court went and ruled an entire campaign finance law unconstitutional and now its a mess.
(This last bit is not particularly enforced in practice, and irrelevant anyways as it's not hard to guess what would help a candidate)
Corporations/unions/for-profit groups can spend as much money as they would like on political ads, as doing otherwise would be a restriction on their free speech. Led to the creation of SuperPACs, fundraising groups with no limits on spending as long as they don't directly coordinate with campaigns.
This actually helps, thank you
So many opportunities, so few runs, so much pain
There's some more modern/indie ones I've heard this series - Cuff The Duke, Arkells, and Tragically Hip. youtu.be/A90ph7-cvR4?..., youtu.be/vQvp6EghJ18?..., youtu.be/d18UWu4dRv4?...
On the Canadian broadcast it is a decent amount of Canadian music going into commercials, not sure it makes it into the Fox broadcast
