- ginkoOh but reaching zombo.com is only the beginning. You can do anything on zombo.com!
- I expected this to be about Plankalkül or something devised by Babbage.
- I mean sure, this should be nice and easy.
But then game/engine devs want to use the vertex shader producing a uv coordinate and a normal together with a pixel shader that only reads the uv coordinate (or neither for shadow mapping) and don't want to pay for the bandwidth of the unused vertex outputs (or the cost of calculating them).
Or they want to be able to randomly enable any other pipeline stage like tessellation or geometry and the same shader should just work without any performance overhead.
- I was bracing for the proposed replacement being integrated in systemd.
- I used to have a Knoppix disc signed by Klaus Knopper. Wonder what happened to that one..
- Maybe a negative sign got dropped?
- I think the most straightforward way to make a DIY focal plane shutter would be a cloth shutter actuated by electric motors. That'd get rid of most of the mechanical complexity and all the needed materials are readily available.

- Yeah, the camera probably hasn't been in functioning condition for decades and people at Kodak likely didn't see much historical value in archiving those tapes.
- That's still very cheap for an interchangeable lens MF rangefinder. A Mamiya 7 will cost you around $2000 just for the body.
There's the Mamiya Press which you can get for cheap but those are very large and heavy.
- Very very cool. I've been thinking about doing something like that before, but didn't really have the time or skills. Awesome someone went through with it.
- What shocks me even more is that TSLA is still about 10% up YoY. What path to (hyper-)profitability are investors seeing?
- Why do you think it's a communist thing? Communist countries (both historically and current) tend to protect their borders fervently.
I'd say no-border cosmopolitanism is more of a classic liberalism thing.
- The most annoying thing is when you search for instance for "Chinese restaurants" and Google maps shows me Japanese restaurants while hiding actual Chinese restaurants.
- As someone who was team N64 I do agree PSX has more of a "trademark look" compared to the N64 which is pretty much just a very limited version of a modern graphics rasterizer.
- >Even back then many games were preferable on the N64 like megaman legends
Huh, I generally see megaman legends cited as an example where the PSX version looks better due to the crisper textures.
- So just drop off a patch somewhere by "accident" and have someone else merge it. What are they gonna do?
- The distorted textures and weird triangle clipping issues are exactly what you'd expect from an unoptimized port to a platform that doesn't support perspective correct texturing or depth testing.
- I simply can't fathom why anyone would spend extra money on a "smart" fridge. Let alone one that shows ads. Why would you even want one of those?
- There were cat burials 10k years ago?
- >That relationship we have with cats now only gets started about 3.5 or 4,000 years ago, rather than 10,000 years ago.
I wouldn't have thought cats were domesticated 10,000 years ago, why is it implied that's a general assumption?
