Choosing a text rendering algorithm depends on your needs: use MSDF for crisp scalable text with an atlas, SDF for constrained hardware, or Slug for dynamic, high-quality rendering without pre-baking. Slug computes coverage directly from glyph outlines in the shader, ensuring sharpness at any scale and under 3D transforms.
Platonic and Archimedean Solids are regular polyhedra with unique properties. They consist of different regular polygons, with Platonic having identical faces and Archimedean having multiple distinct faces.
Factorio is a game that involves building and managing a factory, with the goal of producing increasingly complex items. The game's focus on automation sets it apart from other survival games. Players can use modules to improve production, and new mechanics were introduced in the Space Age extension, including quality tiers for items and recipes.

The author recounts a common scene in 2002 Delhi where frequent power outages plagued the city, causing chaos and economic losses. However, over the past quarter century, Delhi's grid has transformed into a reliable system with minimal power losses.
Most European data centers keep their environmental impact secret, despite EU regulations requiring them to report energy and water usage. Only a small fraction of larger Dutch data centers publish this information, with many lacking crucial details on consumption.
The author created a custom checker function to ensure correct data loading between Rust and WebGPU, as the layout rules differ. The function uses facet's runtime reflection to inspect struct sizes and offsets at runtime.
The author created a cellular LED matrix inspired by phyllotaxis, a pattern found in nature, and programmed it to react dynamically to sound using an STM32 board. The project evolved into an interactive installation at Recurse Center, featuring a website for attendees to upload sketches and games.
Backblaze's Q2 2026 Drive Stats report tracks annualized failure rates, model performance, and emerging technologies. The quarterly AFR is 1.73%, with no new drive models released this quarter but deployment concentrated in the 20TB+ range.
I don't do robots. I don't do blogs. But here I am blogging on my blog about robotics. I’m a software guy, I’ve spent 25 years writing software and the last 9+ months going deep into LLM-driven software development. And in that last 9 months I’ve built more software than the previous 25 years combined. My personal GitLab currently hosts 41 projects, most of which are real products ...

The author analyzed 68 Floppy Emus that failed QA testing, identifying the causes of failure as clock crystal damage, soldering issues, and unprogrammed microcontrollers.
GPT-6.1 Sol is a new upgrade to GPT-6 Sol, offering improved performance and cost savings for everyday work tasks. It matches GPT-6 Astra's intelligence at one-fifth of its standard input and output token prices, delivering substantial improvements across complex professional tasks.
The Jev AI model has gained popularity for its ability to classify tasks efficiently and accurately, making it a viable alternative to more expensive models like GPT-6. It achieves this through a unique training method called Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated Decisions (RLCD), which enables fast and cost-effective decision-making across various domains.
The author implemented a binary tree evaluator in C, using closures to represent user-defined functions and an arena allocator to manage memory. The evaluator uses a mark-and-sweep garbage collector to reduce memory usage.
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a construction permit for the BWRX-300 small modular reactor at TVA's Clinch River site in Tennessee. This is the first permit issued in the US for this design, marking a significant milestone for nuclear power deployment.
