Took the kids trick-or-treating last night and met up with a family who's son (3yo-ish?) loves to ring doorbells. I have never seen a more pure manifestation of joy than watching this young doorbell enthusiast be let loose on his neighborhood on Halloween night.

Needless to say, I wouldn't pay any amount to retain a checkmark. The fact that I have one at all is something of a fluke. I happened to ask for it in the one week when Twitter was really legitimately trying to open it up to everyone.

$20 a month for a blue check strikes me as an absurd amount for your average user, given what Twitter provides in return, and an enticingly low amount for a scammer that wants to project legitimacy.

Bind Groups are probably one of the hardest parts of WebGPU to wrap your head around, especially if you're used to WebGL's style of uniform setting. To help onboard new developers, I've written a doc to explain bind group use and best practices:

I give it about two years before this sites new owner realizes "Social Media is Hard, Actually", gets bored, and sells off whatever's left for a fraction of what they paid.

Had the opportunity to give a guest lecture at the University of Pennsylvania this week on WebGPU! Had a great time, and I appreciate the invitation to speak. The recording we did has a few issues, but it's up on YouTube now if you're interested:

Is your overhead slower than a super Mario bros 3 speed run?
Quote Tweet
The Mario game that can be beaten the fastest is Super Mario Bros. 3, which can be completed in 19 frames, or 0.316 seconds, by pressing buttons very quickly during startup to execute unintended code. Below is every frame from starting up the game to finishing it.

Just got off a plane, turned off airplane mode, and my phone promptly drowned in a tsunami of political fundraising emails and texts. Almost makes me jealous of the UK getting no say in their new PM. Almost.

Ah, yes! The two genders: people and popsicles with power sockets in them.
A restroom placard where a male figure is a boxy abstract human and the female figure has a single leg, has a torso made of a circle stacked on a semicircle, and has two lines to indicate arms but which resemble a US electrical socket.

Going into work today and an allen wrench just fell off of me. I have no idea where it was on my person or how it got there. Just *clank* now there's an allen wrench at my feet. I'm just going to assume I've discovered a latent superpower to spawn small bits of bent metal.

More seriously, I don't understand the motivations behind why a party in power would move for a General Election early? Especially if they're doing an awful job, seems like they would just not vote for one to keep their seats as long as possible?

Apple's love/hate relationship with USB-C continues to get weirder with each new product release.
Quote Tweet
This is one of the weirder things Apple has ever done. Iโ€™m assuming the iPad Pro doesnโ€™t have a landscape camera because there isnโ€™t room for it and charging components for the second-gen pencil in the same spot, but forcing regular iPad owners to do this is just bizarre.

Excellent thread. I do love me a good graphics breakdown. ESPECIALLY when it's about older games! (Last decade's high end console/PC techniques are this decade's mobile/VR/web techniques.)

Okay! Here's the bulk of geometry rendering, not including particle effects and postprocessing:
