If we knew how much math goes into writing a video game, we might have paid more attention in math class. If you need a refresher, [Fletcher Dunn] and [Ian Parbery] have their book “3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development” available free online. …

I would not advise you to go there for the book because those are the not revised drafts, and I do not have the time to upload the corrected version. If you like the theme, consider buying the book. The link is on my pinned post.

Feels important to pen an #introduction post worthy of a follow or two... 🥴
A lover of #tankespjärn #books #writing #reading #curiosity #singing #gardening #coldbathing #visiblemending and much more... I would not be where & who I am today if I hadn’t learned how to be & do gentle towards myself.
📍 in Malmö, Sweden
Favorite pastime since a year back is my pod of 5x5 meandering agenda-less conversations/season.

Depresssingly, this quote from 1984 is even more true today than it was then.
Not suitable for children and puritans.

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

What I've learned so far, for the benefit of other #Elongate refugees:
1) The best way to find people is to browse the #introductions hashtag. It's like walking into a party, talking to people at random, and deciding who you want to know more about.
2) The federated timeline is a firehose of extremely free speech with a very low signal to noise ratio. Your home or local timelines are probably better bets, but if you want to look into the unfiltered heart of the internet, you do you.

You may never be a full stack developer, but you can easily be a full snack developer.

Some truths about programming:
If it's not documented, it's not useful.
To write fast software, use a slow computer.
Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
Shared mutable state is the root of all evil.
The user is always right.
Software that is designed for someone is more useful than software that is designed for everyone.
Good software can be declared complete in a finite amount of time.
Text is the universal interface.
Software should be able to outlive the author.
I might add more. Feel free to share your own thoughts too.
