Hey uh, just checking. It is the year 2023. Can Linux reliably mount an NTFS drive read/write yet?

Here's an integer sequence I came up with last night that doesn't seem to be in the #oeis:

1,2,4,6,3,9,12,8,10,5,15,20,16,24,18,21,14,7,28,35

I did some code on my phone in JupyterLite (https://jupyter.org/try-jupyter/lab/) to produce it, and these two images. Will wonders never cease!

If you can work out the rule, I'll be v impressed

How do "Mode 7" 3D-like graphics work? Well, it's all a clever trick using affine transformations that update each scanline to render one slice of the background at a time, creating the illusion of a projective plane in 3D space.

On the left is what the rendered output looks like when the last matrix parameters are left intact, updating each scanline. On the right is what the ACTUAL Mode7 affine transformation looks like during that scanline!

Pretty neat stuff! The SNES cant generate projective transformations without special hardware, so this is how the Psuedo-3D projective plane is generated for #SuperMarioKart

What's interesting about this is that Mode7 isn't actually what's responsible for the projective effect, HDMA is! You could technically do a *similar* effect with other BG modes, and actually Yoshi's Island uses a similar technique for its "3D" objects as well (that's also a super cool method I want to talk about later)

Don’t put game trailers with slow intros on your Steam page!!!

Don’t listen to just me; this Reddit thread is full of people who skip over trailers in favor of screenshots when browsing Steam.

I think most of these people are talking about AAA games, but even if they aren’t, a lot of AAA game trailers with lots of logos and slow intros have trained them to assume trailers will not show gameplay until somewhere in the middle.
