i was expecting an article about farming these with claude.

thank god it wasn't that lol

LJ was huge in the Russian speaking segment of the internet well into the 2010s. Me and my friends started using it around 2007 and I didn't interact with English content on there at all.

The Orkut timeline I might be misremembering but I'm fairly sure I was already at the university back then which would put it 2006 at the earliest.

Tata and Infosys too apparently, which is actually good. Those were the real abusers of the h1b program.

I've tried doing this for a few years and it just sucks ass. Just use c++ and templates if you need proper generic data structures. C is a defective language.

Can you stop shilling your thing in the comments? One mention is enough. It's annoying behavior.

Reading stuff like this and people's reactions to it makes me want to retire from breathing.

Sounds like you have two happy well-adjusted friends?

Not really. Besides the problems with ringing outlined in the post, the number of coefficients required to capture higher frequency detail grows quadratically, requiring not only more storage but also operations to evaluate. Which makes straightforward cubemap replacement impractical.

Author here. Please let me know if the sample code doesn't work for you. It's all single threaded dumb JavaScript which makes it very easy to read, but definitely not performant. I decided to stick with it for didactic reasons, but still worried that it may hang someone's browser.

you literally don't have to. you can literally just keep doing your job the way that you always have.

I don't know, I'm not convinced with this argument.

The "ugly" version with the switch seems much preferable to me. It's simple, works, has way less moving parts and does not require complex machinery to be built into the language. I'm open to being convinced otherwise but as it stands I'm not seeing any horrible problems with it.

sucks that opera is no longer with us. used to be my go-to browser before Firefox and eventually chrome...
