To y'all panicing about kernel CVEs: don't.
CVE != Exploitable Vulnerability

I still can't believe that Microsoft rebranded "Microsoft Visual Studio" to "Microsoft Visual Studio (Not Responding)"
it bothers me a bit when people talk about large dependency graphs like they're somebody else's problem. if your software has 1000 deps that's *your problem* don't palm it off on the ecosystem for having packages! i would be much more receptive to people complaining about the dependencies of software they're using, usually having a gigantic dependency tree just means you're importing a 'framework' or three. (and yeah i realise this is a pedantic distinction)
Since the vast majority of libscopehal shaders are memory bound, if I can manage to fuse several shaders into a single one and keep the intermediate results in registers, there should be a massive imp...
@nprofile1q... welcome to raytracing shaders! (Beware the compile time explosion if they become too large)
Every time I see "9front" it makes me wonder why somebody's posting a link to some nazi shit. Idk if it's just me but it feels like a name with exceptionally bad associations (stormfront, 8chan, etc).

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... this is really easy to explain though, they shipped an image based on the development image and they forgot to remove the config / didn't think about it. Almost all these kinds of things are "what is the most convenient configuration for dev" becoming "oops we shipped it"
One of the most interesting things I learned at Microsoft: demand for cloud is not driven by performance. The most popular SKUs are cheap older-generation things because we’ve already reached the po...
@nprofile1q... it's hard also just due to logistics. like the core foundation of the cloud is this idea of commodity compute, but that means in order to actually use a new sku it needs to roll out globally, or near to it. larger, more powerful individual instances would be super useful to some workloads, but cloud providers can't/don't want to give you those kinds of hardware allocations, and if they do it's regionally dependent anyway which makes it worthless.
I still can't believe Amazon tried to make a steam competitor and they called the project "Vapor". Like it has to have been named by somebody who knew... Right?

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... nerds v.s. frat boys is entirely a USA meme tbh (even ignoring that fraternities are of course, entirely american)

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Yep! The problem with discard (and similarly, shader depth writes) is that it means the GPU does not know statically ahead of time whether the fragment shader should write depth or not, so it can no longer rely on that information for all the early depth rejection trickery that GPUs do for opaque surfaces based on their geometry alone. There's a lot more subtlety but basically it just turns off optimisations.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... yes I believe so, minimal changes across the existing platform and it magically works for larger worlds. But with a perf hit and still having world space dependent precision.
