"Caffeinate", my first 4KB Executable Graphics piece won the executable graphics compo at @inerciaparty 2021. Yay!
Lots more of these to come I feel.

@fizzychicken Also, I want to be able to run the whole game unoptimised for debugging _at interactive FPS_ Even just perf in optimised+assert build, say loading into a map takes 10x longer… killing iteration times, testing farm runs slower etc. Often an afterthought and C++ abstractions hurt

[Karl Davis @karltechno]

@fizzychicken Take away threadrippers and people will start to care a lot more ;) There is certainly lots of room for improvement eg https://t.co/Mdcef95WCe https://t.co/ZjPY8NOMxs And ofc C++ isn’t exactly helping

How users use software

@savage309 Just need another cat to make it multiple importance sampling

[Blago Taskov @savage309]

There are plenty of good algorithms for finding the lights in raytracing these days, but has anyone tried using cats?

Bizarre bug report: My cat sitting on my keyboard causes lightDM (display manager running in Ubuntu up to version 16.04 LTS) to crash. https://t.co/e9GVaXHkCz

“I'm just going to fix this lil' bug in the legacy codebase real quick...”

Implemented tree height reduction/balancing - eg expressions like this now fold properly: "x + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + (y * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 1)"

Fun weekend project, little expression parser which JIT compiles to x64 from scratch
