Cool resource, haven't seen this before
I agree that mipmapping is an optimization, but I also don't really consider it incorrect or misleading to call it a technique for mitigating aliasing - it's a practical technique for doing so. Fair point though, and…
I have close to zero experience with web development, I guess it shows
There simply isn't another way to access registers from one 'thread' on another thread without using an intrinsic. You need that to calculate finite differences. For a long time, the only option was ddx()/ddy(). Now we…
Author here - I imagine this is a bit too niche to get much traction on HN. There's a bit of discussion on bsky https://bsky.app/profile/pema99.bsky.social/post/3lotdtgowf2...
Not really. Exceptions usually imply unwinding the stack, and the ability to catch at any point throughout the callstack. Result types are just 'dead' data.
I do actually agree with you. The goal for me was just to understand the connection to CT a bit more precisely, not to imply that it isn't useful. I guess I didn't convey that part very clearly, which together with the…
Feels worth mentioning that Learn You A Haskell is about 1/3 the length of the book you mentioned. I agree that it won't teach you all you need to know to be really proficient with the language, and also wish it didn't…

No, we can use SM 5.0. It's all DX11. It's not that the framework the game is written in doesn't support such features, we just have no way to bind UAVs for example. What you can do on the CPU is very very limited,…
Unfortunately true, but also not the experience that most people who continue to play the game have with it. Public instances, especially those in popular worlds, are pure cancer. Anyone who has played more than a few…
Honestly, the game starts at the point where you meet a group of people you enjoy interacting with and stop visiting public instances. Much easier to get in to with a friend to guide you along the way.
