The UAE’s space story is unfolding at @expo2025_japan.
Within the UAE Pavilion, “The Explorers of Space” continues to draw global attention, blending tradition and technology, ambition and craft. Space42 plays a key role by showcasing its contributions to space innovation and the integration of smart technologies with terrestrial applications.

@luke_pighetti @theo More like "we just can't take capitalism seriously anymore" :) ... In case you want to blame it on something...
English
It is insane that this is still a thing. Spain's government fucked up immensely. There needs to be a reset.

In Spain, ISPs are waging a crusade against football piracy that is causing a lot of collateral damage. Right now even Google Fonts is being MiTM, they are even serving a self signed cert and a custom block message. #laligagate @eastdakota @theo @rauchg

@SebAaltonen So.... What I understand from this: take out my Android phone on the first date to filter out toxic woman.... :)
English
Could somebody explain why US women behave like this? Never heard anything similar in EU.
Windows and Android here are common options for people who want to customize their tech. Which is more common among men. iPhone/Mac are seen as non-techie options. Women don't like nerds?

@PierreTerdiman Exactly! I started to hate that expression, since if we look around, there are tens or even hundreds of different wheel types... So yes, it needs to be reinvented sometimes.
English
It's not about reinventing the wheel, it's about inventing better tires.
Till Krueger@tillkruegerDEV
why do many developers love to reinvent the wheel instead of just using a library? 😂
English
@SebAaltonen @AntonMigulko I mean... If the goal is to make the driver enjoy the ride more, using vibrations, I think there are other, well tested methods to do that ;-)
English
@AntonMigulko There are significantly better ways to transfer information to the driver than fake vibration.
English
Yet another stupid tech. This makes the car weigh more, uses energy on needless vibration, and wears out the parts faster due to vibration. Loud noises and vibration are signs of poor design. Energy is wasted for not moving forward.
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
Aston Martin EVs could get vibrating bodies to feel like the cars have a V12 engine. CEO: "If you mapped the telemetry of the V12 engine from the Valkyrie, measured the frequencies and built those into the body structure of the vehicle, linked them to the throttle position and suppressed the electrical frequency noises, you would feel exactly like you were in a Valkyrie or another 12-cylinder car. “So I believe without fake noises but by actually oscillating body structures and other structures with the frequencies that you get from a combustion powertrain, you can create an emotional connection.” Source: autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-c…

@UAEEmbassyUS @NASA Uhhh .... I was already created about 43 years ago ;)
English
The UAE announced the formation of a Supreme Space Council to oversee the nation's space sector. With recent achievements like @NASA's Gateway Project to the creation of @space42, the council will help ensure the growth of an already robust space sector. uaeinusa.co/4h1Lh3b

Maybe Switzerland has the right idea there, can we have a 3rd option please? :)

Only 8% of Finns would vote for Trump. Both Trump and Harris are right wing by our standards. All right wing conservatives in Finland support free healthcare and free schools/universities. There's never any debate about those topics here. They are considered basic rights.

@FreyaHolmer In one form another yes... However it's still very annoying that macOS is stuck in pre-compute shader version... But at least there's Vulkan with Moltenvk :)
English
I did intentionally avoid it for Shapes back when I started it because I didn't want to restrict functionality by platform, but I'm pretty sure StructuredBuffer and compute is supported on *most* things these days right?
English
ok now that I've started looking into compute shaders, graphics buffers, and procedural primitive mesh drawing properly these past couple of weeks, my third eye has opened and I now have NEW POWERS 🔥
like damn this is,, like idk, there are so many new possibilities!!
English
@FreyaHolmer You got me an idea... I shall start using the word natïve, just to confuse people.... Mwhaahaahaaa
English
"naive" is a weird word bc you're supposed to spell it "naïve" but then it kinda looks a little too pretentious for my vibe
but if I just write "naive" then some people think it's a typo for "native" because the sentences in which I use it often work either way
English
@cmuratori Well... Technically 0 is also a value... As well as negative numbers... ;)
English
When was the last time you felt like a valued customer at a business whose phone system referred to you as "valued customer"?
English
@paul_snively I disagree :) IMHO git is good because it's simple and powerful, once you understand how it works. I had a lot of issues with it at the beginning, but now I love it. Granted, I used only cvs, subversion and some other commercial software I already forgot as alternative
English
@Jonathan_Blow @ComputerMouth Sweden has one of the highest game developers per capita, and unions are strong here (after a certain size companies NEED to have unions by law)
English
@ComputerMouth Unionization would just drive your company out of business faster and ensure there are fewer overall jobs total. As it has done elsewhere.
English
It's been a difficult year for the game industry but I'd guess we are < 1/4 of the way through the current layoff wave.
If you work in games, the best way to deal is just to be excellent. Even if your company goes down, you'll be first hired elsewhere.

A response to a student who was surprised that I still bother working on "old" (non-AI/ML) topics in graphics.

At Ubisoft/RedLynx (2015) we developed a new ECS system for our new engine. It had super nice query API.
The implementation was a massively complex variadic template monster. Only a few people in the studio could maintain it. Debugging it was hard. Compile time slow.

At HypeHype we are pushing unfinished features directly to dev branch behind feature flags. This improves iteration time compared to long lasting branches, and avoids regressions when people land their long lasting branches at the same time (never cross testing them).
