msk-lywenn··on Lego says it wants to start to bring video game development in-house
1U is quite small compared to PS3 devkits...
msk-lywenn··on Nvidia emulation journey, part 1: RIVA 128/NV3 architecture history and overview
I doubt it required floating point rgb and, iirc, it came (for real) much later. GPUs used fixed point math behind the scenes for a long time. The only thing you need to get proper additive blending is saturation, so that you don't overflow, like on the N64.
msk-lywenn··on What happened to the n in restaurateur?
That makes sense too! I guess ø is actually more used than œ except for the french. ø is on option+0 btw, they didn't move it very far.
msk-lywenn··on What happened to the n in restaurateur?
On a french macOS keyboard, it's option + o, which makes more sense, imho. What does option+o do on yours?
msk-lywenn··on What happened to the n in restaurateur?
The verb is restaurer. Its gerund form is restaurant (ie. transforming a verb into a noun) Restaurateur is also a noun but its the job associated with the verb, not the verb transformed into a noun directly.
msk-lywenn··on The 20 year old PSP can now connect to WPA2 WiFi Networks
It doesn't even have an OS. The launcher would have to dynamically patch the games. Not impossible, but a lot trickier, I guess.
msk-lywenn··on Apple is open sourcing Swift Build
The article doesn't mention the differences with current swift package manager build system. The repository doesn't mention it either, just saying that swiftpm can use the new build system by adding an argument. Anybody does what does this actually changes? Does it improve something for non-Apple platforms?
msk-lywenn··on Malimite – iOS and macOS Decompiler
Isn't decompiling illegal in the US?

(in (the 'end) (will (speak we) lisp))
msk-lywenn··on Physically Based Rendering: From Theory to Implementation
It bothers me too, but I’m French. I always assumed it was some corner of the language I don’t know
msk-lywenn··on James Thomson on the Origins of the macOS Dock
Even black on white can be awful with disastrous calibration... white on #4A525A is almost white on black. It looks good on any of my screens and I don't even have that good calibration.
msk-lywenn··on Sub-pixel distance transform (2023)
That makes much more sense indeed
msk-lywenn··on Emulating the FMAdd Instruction, Part 1: 32-bit Floats
I think the link should be: https://drilian.com/posts/2024.12.31-emulating-the-fmadd-ins...
msk-lywenn··on Sub-pixel distance transform (2023)
How would you even do a boolean operation over two distances ?
msk-lywenn··on A simple way to scale pixel art games
I wonder if this could be implemented in the original OSSC.
msk-lywenn··on QwQ: Alibaba's O1-like reasoning LLM
4699$US. Quickest justification I ever made not to buy something
msk-lywenn··on Implementing Order-Independent Transparency
You probably want to render back to front. Also, that’s the first part of the problem. OIT solves the case where meshes and even triangles cross each other too.
msk-lywenn··on Implementing Order-Independent Transparency
Yes
msk-lywenn··on I Waited 10B Cycles and All I Got Was This Loading Screen
Bad performance is a user visible problem
msk-lywenn··on Adapting Plan 9's listen to GNU Guix
Rot13 is not a protocol. If you want to make a rot13 over tcp on port 13, your executable would be named tcp13. I thought the same mistake at first too.
msk-lywenn··on Starship Flight 5: Launch and booster catch [video]
Maybe the goal is to refill and relaunch immediately?
msk-lywenn··on Shrinking augmented reality displays into eyeglasses to expand their use
Back when I was working on hololens 1 stuff, I was very surprised how the bad resolution wasn’t actually much of an issue. I think since we’re always slightly moving, our brain makes some kind of natural temporal antialiasing ? And it’s not awful like VR since it’s super imposed on the real world and not a feed of it
msk-lywenn··on Swift 6
I was always puzzled by the swiftUI syntax. Thanks for pointer me to result builders, I understand better now. I can't help but thinking the whole thing could be re-implemented with macros now? (result builders appeared in 5.4, macros in 5.7)
msk-lywenn··on Oxygene: A modern language built on the foundation of Object Pascal
They also have their own swift implementation apparently? That's the first time I see an alternative implementation of it. https://www.remobjects.com/elements/silver/

Buenzli/Demodays OHP (overhead projetor) competition has many of those

msk-lywenn··on Diffusion models are real-time game engines
I’d like to now to carbon footprint of that fun.
msk-lywenn··on Random Thoughts about Unity
Isn't that just how the C# garbage collector works?
msk-lywenn··on Random Thoughts about Unity
It stands for Data Oriented Tech Stack. It's their ECS (Entity Component System) + "high performance c#" (a C# subset with their custom compiler). I used to call it Unity 2, since it was so different and incompatible with Unity itself.
msk-lywenn··on Neo Geo Dev: Fixed Point Numbers
Yes it can. I’ve seen it done properly only once though. You still have to pay attention to avoid overflows
msk-lywenn··on TR1X: Open-source re-implementation of Tomb Raider 1
I wonder how this compares with OpenLara https://github.com/XProger/OpenLara
