It's shader-based using a technique called raymarching.

Classy obiturary by the EFF. Cryptome seems to have been around forever in internet terms - I just checked and indeed it's been almost 30 years. RIP John, your site was Wikileaks long before Wikileaks.

I loved this tool. Always ran it with fluxbox as the WM.

>Naturally, a suspended UI thread is going to manifest itself as a hang.

The correct terminology is 'stopped responding' Raymond. You need to consult the style guide.

Written after he broke up with Lesbia. Yes it is very sad that I can instantly recall this after fifty odd years. Perhaps Latin really does train your brain and memory.

I am an emacs user. I meant moving from my ridiculously customized setup accumulated over 20 years to the Solo configuration.

Whoops. Hmm, I thought you could edit HN comments but obviously not.

I'm a long time fan of David Williams' demos on the channel. Emacs Solo was quite inspiring in that it made me want to seriously adopt it for a month or two just to see if I could be productive in it without all the zillions of bells and whistles I've gotten used to over the years.

VS Code with Emacs keybindings was another tangent I was looking at recently.

I was completely blown away when I realized that the opening cinematic was the actual game engine. First time I'd ever seen it and the scenes cleverly foreshadowed what was coming.

Lokimedes doesn't need to hear all this. He's a highly trained professional.

I'm a 20 handicap who bought AimPoint five or six years ago and it improved my green reading immensely. And I certainly do not waste playing partner's time on the green. It's just a quick feel, stick up the fingers and then putt.

I started making my grandmother's recipe again recently and it's amazing and amazingly simple. A pint of cream, a tin of condensed milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip the cream until it lightly peaks, stir in the condensed milk and the vanilla and freeze for at least 4 hours. Done. You can add choc chips or whatever flavor you want at the condensed milk stage.

Delia Derbyshire is one of my heroes: an electronic music pioneer way before her time.
