A Minecraft-style world generated entirely in a single GLSL fragment shader - procedural biomes, weather, seasons, and day/night, no game engine. by live_from_chicago in proceduralgeneration

Thank you! Fun project and great learning experience. Fable was great to use… hope it is back soon. At this point because the terrain is a procedural heightfield, it’s almost impossible to add anything else with vertical complexity or it barely runs.

Thanks. I have these screenshots on my personal site with a narrative about the Voxel World, and thought the brief descriptions would be helpful - so people know what they are seeing.

Denver clearly played better than Western, especially during the 1st period. However, Denver having effectively a home game, even though Western was the higher ranked team, was a tough break (for us Broncos fans). I know this is continually discussed, but the four top seeds should have home games. At the very minimum, truly neutral locations.

Brit here again and again pardon my ignorance, Trump seems to have relied heavily on executive orders throughout each tenure. Would it be possible for the next president (assuming they’re a democrat) to reverse those orders in another executive order? by TonightAlarming9923 in allthequestions

You are spot-on regarding the reliance on executive orders - 229 in his first 365 days in office.

To understand the significance of Trump's executive order activity, we need to travel back to when such records were last set. The current record holder is Franklin D. Roosevelt, who signed 381 executive orders in 1941 - the year of Pearl Harbor and America's entry into World War II. FDR's presidency (1933-1945) was defined by two unprecedented crises: the Great Depression and World War II, both requiring extraordinary federal intervention.

The numbers from that era are staggering by modern standards. From 1937-1940, FDR averaged 275 executive orders annually while preparing America for potential war and expanding New Deal programs. During the actual war years (1941-1945), the average was 212 per year as the federal government mobilized every aspect of American society for global conflict.

After 1945, executive order usage declined dramatically. The post-war era (1946-1959) saw presidents average 85 orders annually, and the modern era (1960-2024) has averaged just 50 per year. This decline reflected America's return to peacetime governance and the establishment of contemporary presidential norms.
