    I'll answer questions related to C++, OpenGL or computer graphics in general to the best of my ability. DM me.

    The implication is that now I'm much more willing to write ugly horrible hacks, duplicate code with slight modifications, and commit other programmer sins if the result is a better end user experience.

    Over the past couple years, my approach to software engineering has been undergoing some transformation which I can't quite articulate yet, but if pressed I would put it this way: as a programmer, the binary that your code produces is a more valuable artifact than the code itself

    Experimenting with manually writing SSE intrinsics for the first time, and got burned by the alignment requirement (my vector wasn't aligned properly)... but what's odd is that it only crashed when compiled with no optimizations, with -O3 it worked fine. Can someone explain why?

    At least at Google there was no such requirement to begin with (I assume at others, too). To get an H1B visa, you still are required to have an undergraduate degree in the relevant field. In other words, nothing has changed at all.

    This is a big deal. ⁦⁩ all drop college degree requirement from hiring criteria.

    apparently russia has this meme where they @ elon musk in pictures of super stupid bootleggy lifehacky "inventions" captioned "and how do you like this, elon musk?" so as it turns out, no one is better at memes than the russians

    After a heated argument with parents, stormed out and slammed the door so hard the glass shattered and cut a vessel in my foot. The giant puddle of blood in my linkin-park-poster-plastered room looked extremely edgy. I was thirteen, I think...

    Well, I guess everyone needs to write a Sudoku solver at some point. Here's mine (blog post): (approx 5µs per puzzle on average, so pretty fast).

    The light this morning had a slightly reddish tinge from the particulates in the air - a nice demosntration of rayleigh scattering. While I lowkey dig the semi-ominous atmosphere it creates, I wish the fires would stop :/

    me: wow why do i feel so bad after being outside seattle:

    In 2012 I took a course in computer graphics. Things like these were spoken about as if they were science fiction. And now, six years later, here we are.

    Aaand here we go! Nvidia Quadro RTX has just been announced! This is one of the best moments in my life! Real-time ray tracing comes to life! I’m so glad I was part of it!
