@aeva i wouldnt use SDLMixer which is a higher level API and not general enough, but vanilla SDL has a sound callback so if youre ok mixing your own audio, this is the way to go and then you can just use whatever other sound calback API that is available on other platforms.

Happy birthday @Blender !
Today is Blender's birthday again. Happy birthday to this 29 years young program :)
The screenshot was made on my old SGI Indy, because Blender was initially made by @tonroosendaal on an SGI machine.

Y'all want to see a cool shader?
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/dls3Wr
This is mashing up two ideas:
- @iquilezles@twitter.com's closed-form "signed distance to a quadratic Bézier curve" solver
- using winding number to determine inside/outside-ness
Putting these two ideas together, we can render a Bézier font from its raw control points, as a single (huge) closed-form math expression!

lol now I have to go somewhere in person to hand in paperwork because they are so backed up with "faxes and email" that they wouldn't be able to process it for 2 months
Transferring energy service to new apartment: type in the new address online and hit ok
Transferring gas service: spend 20 minutes on hold to talk to a guy just to dictate the new address and then listen to him breathe for 20 more minutes while he types it into his computer

yo nancy pelosi stop emailing me
@nasser @toxi to be fair, the right way to work with AI is to actually build it yourself. None of that stuff is magic or a black box when you actually dig into it, but the way it is currently being hyped, as a consumer-facing prompt interface to a pre-trained model, is pretty boring indeed. Building and training your own models, especially if you write things from scratch is an explorative and intentional process no different from any other kind of creative coding.

second star placement prototype 01:
shape function. the code for generating stars in each sector now uses a socketable function which governs density.
this function could be anything, with arbitrary complexity (spokes, clusters, etc.) but this test is a simple linear falloff.

High On Life spoilers
not me at 2 a.m. watching half of "Tammy and the T-Rex" on a TV inside of High On Life thinking it's some kind of AI-generated interdimensional cable fever dream
