@willeastcott @BeachLTC @playcanvas That’s incorrect, Matterport has had 3D meshes for years

@SnipeJohnson2 @aerockrose I admire the hustle of engagement-baiting without a blue check

[Gavin Higham @GavinHigham]

@SnipeJohnson2 @aerockrose Uh, have you looked at his Wikipedia page? Like, pre-Microsoft?

@ccallac7 Good inverse checklist for that true indie feel:

- no SSAO
- no tone mapping
- no IBL
- gamma correction issues

@SirMichaelRocks All the bot posters ignoring/not understanding your question and instead posting mild variations of the current spin-of-the-day.

Propaganda machine could not be more obvious 😃

@MaximeHeckel Also I think it’s possible to allow content to be visible underneath the URL, ex. this.

In any case, apparently “Hide Distracting Items” worked on the progress indicator, for anyone else reading on a small iPhone

@lerripunc @justasquidd00 @theogramme_dev Probably Halo 2

@cmuratori I don’t know the methodology but it could include VMs, machines under load, etc. Not sure how it could possibly take 100ms to render that, so there’s got to be some waiting on I/O or locks or IPC.

[Gavin Higham @GavinHigham]

Not bad

Looking forward to when I can just hand an AI a bunch of legacy code, and it'll rewrite it to be maintainable. Even if there are bugs - well, now they're easier to fix, because the code is maintainable. Maybe the AI can give me some tests too.

@nbevans @takeshi_no_uta @tomwarren Usually we don’t run full debug builds, we’d swap in a few debug binaries. Tracing is not likely to add significant latency unless you’re tracing a massive amount, which is unlikely for this scenario. My guess is telemetry shows this as median across many (possibly slow) devices

@TheMirzaBeig This is astonishing. How are you layering the transparency? Painter's algorithm?

@KillerOrcaCos @Romy_Holland Link 2-line dgaf

[Gavin Higham @GavinHigham]

@WA_CommonSense @matteing @jeffwilcox People mostly agree that 1 line between SeaTac and Seattle is great, right? Those are the areas below peak growth, but they’re a vital connection for everything else. Most of the areas around new stations are currently at peak growth!

[Gavin Higham @GavinHigham]

@WA_CommonSense @matteing @jeffwilcox Agree expensive, disagree unnecessary. Highways hit a bottleneck you can’t resolve with more lanes, and they’re also expensive. If we don’t have a transit “relief valve” then we’re going to be SOL as the region continues to grow and develop.

@WA_CommonSense @matteing @jeffwilcox Capitol Hill tunnel seems to be packed, northbound, southbound, 1 line and 2 line trains. If the 2 line were just a little faster between Redmond and Bellevue I’d probably prefer it for my commute.

[Gavin Higham @GavinHigham]

@WA_CommonSense @matteing @jeffwilcox Each person could have instead occupied a car on the road, slowing trucking, emergency vehicles, and people on trips to or from locations impractical by public transit. I5, 520, I90, traffic around UW, traffic around SeaTac, downtown, sports games. All hugely improved with Link.

@WA_CommonSense @matteing @jeffwilcox My son is 2 and likes to watch the trains. I often go into the light rail tunnel with him in the afternoon, and we observe train after train after train, minutes apart, all nearly full.
