Just found a (pretty dumb) one for 32 bit uints. All Fermat numbers are primes in the U32 range:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat_number
The first Fermat number that isn't a prime is 2^32 + 1. So, by quite a narrow margin, all the u32 Fermat numbers are primes :)

Thinking about random math things... I wonder if someone has studied the number theory gap between regular numbers and IEEE 754 numbers.
Things like: which prime number theorems do not hold in general, but do hold for 32 or 64 bit floats?
Or, do complex numbers have some nifty extra properties in IEEE 754 that do not hold for normal numbers?

After a couple months of falling behind on people's toots, I just managed to catch up.
There's toomuch toot.
The toots are through the roof.
The tooting must stop.

Oh God, someone made a Garmin watchface that looks like the N64 Goldeneye watch. Nostalgia overload!

Although I stopped using it years ago, I had been stalling on closing my Twitter account so far, out of nostalgia.
Twitter is a big reason my work life turned out as it did. That community of extremely online Twitter gamedev folks was amazing. A huge source of knowledge, inspiration, and community. I'll be forever grateful for that.
But it's time to stop letting the present taint those precious memories.
Goodbye Twitter.
I won't miss what you've become.
But I will miss what you once were.

So if executives travel more than the rest of the population, and they generally travel to go meet groups of people in small rooms.... This would likely mean executives get Covid a lot more often than the rest of us.
Does this mean most big companies are led by a bunch of folks with recurrent covid brain fog?
That would explain some things...

Really disappointed that a Leibniz Zoo isn't some kind of mind-bending topological nightmare, to be honest

The fact that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been well-received is nice... but I'm just here for all the screenshots and comments about how nice the hair looks and moves :)
Bioware did an amazing job.
James, Jill, Elena, and everyone else involved, this is awesome!

Our kids loved this one, so of course we had to buy it :)
So, sorry folks, that one's taken!

Like, look at this! It's like she's doing procedural art, but she's doing it manually with watercolors. It boggles the mind

This morning we went to see an exhibition by the wonderful Margot from watercolorpatterns (https://watercolourpatterns.com/), and it's just insane the precision, dedication and just sheer amount of care and detail she puts into every single one of her watercolors.
And it's all just this wonderfully enthusiastic lady doing everything herself!
Give her a hand if you have the chance, she's wonderful

Remembering the day I was told it was reasonable for a web page to take 40 seconds to load, because "it loads a lot of data. At least 10MB"
Page was on a server in the same building.
On gigabit ethernet.

There... there is a Jean Luc Picard soap.
It's Earl Gray-scented.
And it's called "Make It Soap"
This is too much

Hah! Just found out someone followed our strand hair tech talk from Digital Dragons from a few years ago, and did a WebGPU implementation. Nice!
https://www.sctheblog.com/blog/hair-software-rasterize/
It's a bit of a shock, though, seeing how we've kept making the tech better to the point that the talk is quite outdated now! 🙈

LOL. I gave my testing talk at REAC to spark a discussion about testing, hoping to learn about some company that could be doing things in a very different way from us.
Little did I know some companies were already copying our system, as some of our ex-colleagues had pushed for something like it as soon as they joined another team 😅
Loose lips share tips!

Our kids have classmates named: Bella, Nell, Nelly, Ellie, Ellis, Elise, Ellen, Ella, Stella
My brain keeps trying to sort them to minimize Levenshtein distance between adjacent names.
This is normal parent behavior, right?
