Normally you just replace a d6 with a d12, map 2 to 1, but save the 11 for normal 6 and 12 for critical 6.

#Windows11 everybody. gives a tooltip when hovering the weather widget that just has the same text as the widget, but covering itself.
Also, this shows up in Swedish even though I have Windows set to English, with only my keyboard layout set to Swedish. 30+ years and still wrong.

I just released my video about the engine (and game) I've been working on.

The engine is based on dynamic SDFs, and the video describes how it works and what it makes possible.

Link in the reply!

This is my first YouTube video and it took forever - please repost!

New company nickname #Microslop reflects the quality decline of Windows and their failed attempts at applying AI slop.

The best examples I've seen of mastering the borrow checker, does so by avoiding it, using indices into arrays instead, just like you can do in any language.

So would you prefer C++ or Rust without borrow checker?

People claim rust is great because of the package system, stdlib, compiler warning messages etc.
If that's true, then the language would have value even without the borrow checking part, and would be so much easier to work and prototype in.

HDMI-out on the laptop stopped working when switching from one tv to another.
Guess what move fixed this problem and so many other problems?
... Disabling fastboot in BIOS.

I had a better experience writing school reports in MS Word 35 years ago than updating + moving markdown files with images in gitlab "issues" and a git repo today.
Now we lack wysiwyg and image copy/paste.

To reduce the number of ray-marching steps needed to find the surface of our morphs we generate a proxy from the constituent meshes. It must fully enclose the morphed surfaces while remaining as tight as possible to maximize throughput. We want to minimize the red and blue regions in the debug view.

PowerToys had a Light Switch enabled by default which suddenly started to enforce Light Mode theme instead of my Dark choice.
In case you wonder wtf happened after last nights enforced Win10 reboot.

Super Mario World has an extremely eclectic art style whereby many enemies are drawn in completely different ways. Development files reveal Mario went through many stylistic changes; it is possible that all the enemies were made to fit Mario, but at different points in time.
