lesson for progressive candidates who care about winning: don't let pieces of shit like Hasan anywhere near your orbit.
The only thing it does is give your opponents ammo against you. Hasan fanbase is a marginal group of terminally online troglodytes and you don't have to appeal to them.

i love the poppy field mission in stalker 2. may be the only time a game made me feel actually quite emotional. the poppy field harbors echoes of the past - you can hear Mityay's family. and let me tell you, as a child of refugees, that shit hits like a ton of bricks, especially in ukrainian dub.

another day another reminder that dynamic linkers are hell.
a linux .so loads and calls vk entrypoints in a function
a linux program calls the above-mentioned .so
if the program uses `dlopen` to work with the .so, all good.
if it links against it - immediate crash.

update: moved to nvidia texture tools. once you get past the account barrier, it actually has an ergonomic api and docs that people somewhat care about.
when you find typos like this in a library you're using, do you keep using it?

For anyone who's tried to use spherical harmonics for lighting and found the notation- and terminology- heavy definitions confusing, highly recommend this classic: grahamhazel.com/blog/2017/12...
I think Graham Hazel's blog was down for a long time, years maybe, but works now!

I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code.
