opengl graphics folks… have you ever needed to read the state tables section in the specs, and struggled against the vertical, rotated, heavily abbreviated pdf? perhaps you wished it were machine readable?

hi there.

on 2016-11-07 i was inspired to create this pair of diagrams, and posted them to my then twitter account. the tweet is long gone, but they must have struck a chord with some people, because the diagrams have long outlived it! i guess they're as relevant today as they were then.

so let me repost them here, in never-before-published high resolution.

i changed the nginx configuration of my gotosocial instance again, maybe my posts will be delivered more reliably now 🤞

megacorp-scale software projects are so unsustainable. if your project's source code is larger than a gigabyte or takes more than a few minutes to compile… god, i'd rather sacrifice a months of my time writing a smaller alternative than have to suffer through building it

after the success of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Crimean_Bridge_explosion and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Crimean_Bridge_explosion, I'm sure the Ukrainian intelligence services are looking forward to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Crimean_Bridge_explosion and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Crimean_Bridge_explosion

okay everyone i've got a great idea. we'll let the uk back into the eu so long as they go back to speaking middle english. this will promote harmony with the other germanic language-speaking nations of europe,
