Benoit Blanc-ing my way through this memory allocation bug
one of the few things that gives me hope for humanity is the fact that we managed to move away from XML and adopt JSON as the most common text serialization format

The attached image from my recent curve explorations gives an interesting insight about cubic Béziers. It is an optimum curve fit for a sine wave (using fancy math to determine optimum subdivision points).
Any human designer would put the subdivision points at the peaks and troughs. But that's not actually optimum. A Bézier "wants" to have its curvature maximum just off the endpoint, not right on it.

Our Paint 0.1 is released for Linux! Yay!
Download at https://ChengduLittleA.com/ourpaint
Borderless canvas, nodes brushes, color management, wacom support, and more!
(I have no idea if it runs on your machine, but there's an AppImage if anyone wants to try, otherwise you can compile)

@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?

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
