To Early-Z, or Not To Early-Z

One of the things we often take for granted on GPUs is the idea of early Z testing. It’s the main reason why Z prepasses exist at all, and it’s one of the things that has allowed forward rendering to remain viable without being completely overwhelmed by pixel shader overdraw (instead it merely gets overwhelmed by quad overshading, but I digress)...

  • It being an intentional choice doesn't make it not a stupid choice.

  • Could be because chicken, egg is in alphabetical order.

  • Interstellar is a mbin client but also has support for lemmy. It is made in flutter and has builds for linux desktop.

  • If you want an expensive camera you can use one of these Leica M11 Monochrome

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Introversion does not necessarily equal social anxiety.

  • If you already have access to the keys why bother with anything else?

  • Clearly you couldn't find the band because the government wiped any record of such a dangerous group \s.

  • My immediate answer was yeah why not, but then I read the comments about prison fences and realised I was missing some American specific context. The fence's at my schools were waist high with open gates. They were more of a boundary marker than anything else.

  • Yeah it can be hard to differentiate between criticism and insults online. Often insults will be emotionally driven or have surface level analysis while proper criticism will have deeper insight into the topic and be delivered calmly.

    I've seen proper criticism taken as an insult.

    I would assume immaturity or insecurity.

  • I would assume that anyone reacting in such a manner is immature and insecure in their own work. Insults are often not worth listening or reacting to, constructive criticism is. However if you respond to proper criticism by attacking the critic then you're an ass.

  • Interstellar is currently having the ui reworked. Probably worth making a suggestion on the github. I believe Interstellar is currently the only app for mbin.

  • What exactly is misleading about the theorem? Does anyone actually expect to setup some monkeys and typewriters and get something legible?

  • Getting fired doesn't make it any less spontaneous.
