I just bought book The Ray Tracer Challenge - A Test-Driven Guide to Your First 3D Renderer and in the upcoming months I'll be developing my own ray tracer, in .NET Core. I will also document my learning experience on the blog. Here the first intro post.

UEC has released the following press release

"The Union Européenne de Cyclisme (UEC) informs that the photo-finish system used at the 2026 UEC Road European Championships (EtherLynx Vision PRO X) records the finish line thousands of times per second (13,000 in the specific case of the European Championship races), making it possible to determine the finishing order with extreme precision, even when the differences are minimal.

It is important to clarify that a photo finish is not a traditional photograph. The final image is composed of the chronological sequence of recordings made at the finish line; for this reason, the horizontal axis represents time, not distance. This can create apparent distortions of wheels, bicycles and riders, without any impact on the accuracy of the result.

In cycling, the determining reference is the most advanced part (tangent) of the front wheel at the moment it reaches the finish line. At the European Championships, two independent photo-finish systems were used, providing two separate images to verify the result.

The UEC will make no further statements on the matter."

@carlfranklin Impossible for government with all the procurement processes. Where you need a quote and purchase order. For 200€/yr it will require additional 500€ of processing costs in time.

We in tech need to stop normalising apps and accounts for one-off actions.

I don’t want to:
• Create an account to pay €2 to enter a beach pier.
• Install an app to see a restaurant menu.
• Install an app to pay for parking.

Let me just pay and move on.

@ItakGol What does Israel has apart from genocide?

@dcrainmakerblog That it was dumb was pretty obviously. But I doubt pro were using big units anyway.

GitHub Copilot just shifted to usage-based billing and it already burned through my entire month of AI credits in a single day.

What used to last a month now lasts a day. Now pay for extra credits or wait until the 1st.

Worst billing change ever, @github .

Soon we'll find out the real cost of all these awesome AI tools we've been using. It won't be fun.

[Damian Saez @saezbaldo]

Bye bye Copilot. Hello Codex. Anyone else cancelled Github Copilot running out of tokens on day 1 / 2?

[Simone Chiaretta @simonech]

@DanWahlin Shall I spilt the testing over 2-3 months to be able to use it within the included credits?
