aaaaaaaaaaaa (i just solved a stack corruption bug i’d been hunting since the latter part of yesterday)

anime samurai diagonal cut where the halves slide apart, but it’s with the sound effect from Space Cadet 3D Pinball when you’re sliding down the board

IMA ADPCM is an extremely cute audio compression format. the reference algorithm is a few lines of C code with no multiplication or division, let alone floating-point. just bitshifts and two constant lookup tables <3

you know, it’s a shame that C is designed by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG14 and not the OpenGL Architecture Review Board. i’m sure we’d all rather write:

glDisable(GL_MASKING);
glEnableClientState(GL_SOURCE_DATA_ARRAY);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glSourceDataPointer(1, gl::UNSIGNED_BYTE, 1, dst_ptr);
glEnableClientState(GL_DESTINATION_DATA_ARRAY);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glDestinationDataPointer(1, gl::UNSIGNED_BYTE, 1, src_ptr);
glCopyBytes(0, num_bytes);
if (glGetError() != 0) {
   // fuck
}

rather than

memcpy(dst_ptr, src_ptr, size);

breaking news: “unsafe function is unsafe”. here’s our reporter rustc with more on this story

OpenGL question: is there some way to share the storage between a renderbuffer and a texture, or directly convert a renderbuffer to a texture? note: I know I can construct a framebuffer and use it to copy a renderbuffer to a texture, I’m just wondering if I can skip that step

test depth buffer please ignore

sorry but stalin was a tankie and thus he has been cancelled now

gonna piss everyone off by writing a tty driver that emits backspace characters on truncation, so you must open the device file with append rather than truncate mode
