Silly Doom trivia question for anyone who ISN'T following my tumblr:

So someone implied Doom (1993) rendered triangles. I pointed out that it does not, it's solely rendering line strips for walls and sprites, and weird horizontal strips for floors.
HOWEVER: I was wrong. Doom DOES render triangles. But where does it render them? Because it's only one specific place.

(Outside of level designers making triangular rooms. That doesn't count)

@foone is the chainsaw platform which lowers a triangular prism

I finally figured out what's wrong with my dryer!
There's no drum to put the clothes in. This is a rookie mistake, Samsung.

@foone I applaud your commitment but I'm worried about latency, mostly

also where you you plug in the monitor it sounds uncomfortable

@foone this sounds delightfully inefficient can we also somehow use a blockch^H^H^H

Bad idea: a CPU that only executes cryptographically signed memory pages.

Someone needs to make a version of doom that works like those 1960s flight simulators that NASA used, where it's a physical model and the controls are just driving a video camera around it

Terrible idea: Christian programmer who comments their code with references to Bible verses which are applicable to the code's situation

Properly photographing a 3.5" floppy disk for archival is annoyingly complicated. The label has THREE sides!

I've already built an automated system to take a picture of the front of a disk, but really I need to take THREE photos if I want to get the whole thing.

That means either three cameras or I need to rotate the disk 90° and then 180°, which is going to really stress the limits of my mechanical engineering skills.

@foone if the discs are at any time stacked you could take a picture of all the labels on the edges at once and then use software to carve it up?

you just have to sync that image with the front and back images

It's a pity that the technology never aligned such that we could get an e-ink pda

Here's a weird question: so Dynix made a text-based library catalog system that used Wyse terminals, and they shipped them with custom keyboards. They had four keys above the numpad: one of these keys was Start Over/New Search.

Does anyone remember having used these terminals, and recall what those other keys were?

you know what'd be a cool feature for an image editor?
"export last action as code"

where it looks at the last thing in the undo/redo buffer, and saves it out as a program (in C/C++/whateverscripting) that uses an ImageEditorLibrary to do the same thing
