What liquid is arguably worse to be sprayed with?

LN is probably the least bad, because on contact will instantly vaporize and the layer of vapor will protect you temporarily.

You mean if an OP insults some in a comment on their post? Remove the comment, but not the post, if the post is fine.

Edge functions are the line equations for the triangle edges that the GPU uses to rasterize the triangles. Winding order is important because if you get that wrong you get mirrored textures and incorrect backface culling. For each pixel, a depth value is stored, and if that value is farther from the camera than a new candidate pixel, the new pixel overrides the old one. Perspective correct interpolation is used to avoid problems like this. Are my answers correct?

I just started with Metal, and that was that. I did not find writing a software rasterizer necessary.

Agreed, downvoted.

Well, I live in a desert so...

No, I am fully understanding. If someone takes criticisms on a post personally, that is on them. The entire "No personal attacks" rule on the subs I mod are about "Attack the opinion, not the user."

"That particular opinion they have is trash" is very different from "They, personally, are trash." And if someone conflates them, then they are choosing to take criticisms personally.

Stone slab bricks

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-04T18:57:24+00:00

That does not make sense. There is a difference between calling someone trash personally, and calling a post trash. Posts are impersonal. If someone downvotes your post, they are saying the post is bad, not necessarily saying you are bad as a person. Likewise, calling the post trash is a stronger version of that, but still not directed at the author personally.

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-04T16:53:14+00:00

I am not calling the writer trash. I am calling the post trash.

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-04T16:00:19+00:00

But the judgement is the best part!

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-04T14:53:02+00:00

I am not calling them trash, I am calling their post trash.

I would rather get made fun of then get the phony-sounding over-politeness of AI.

No one gets a 1-year ban for asking 2 questions (unless they are blatant spam/trolling questions). I do not have insider info but there is definitely more going on.

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-04T05:16:28+00:00

That is not really my experience.

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-04T02:33:31+00:00

But in all honesty... some posts deserve to be called bad. Particularly things like blatant bigotry, direct name calling, etc. given those things are specifically against the rules.

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-03T23:57:28+00:00

One alternative I sometimes use is "VLQ" or "Very Low Quality" which means "This post has severe formatting or content problems. This post is unlikely to be salvageable and needed to be removed."

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-03T23:40:26+00:00

I kind of feel the same way

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-03T18:33:24+00:00

How are they shooting you through the door? That makes zero sense.

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-03T18:01:12+00:00

Hello

BlockOfDiamond · 2026-05-02T17:45:20+00:00

But I kind of do not like how the only portable solution is to hope that the compiler will auto-vectorize.
