Most developers deal with some sort of asynchronous operation day to day. For most of us, it is I/O (Input & Output). A web developer does network calls, a systems developer could do some file operations, both are based on a submit and wait system, where program waits until some operation is completed. Different pro...

Is anyone using temporal reprojection to improve MSAA? Temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) has been around for over 10 years [8][1] and various approaches have been used to apply super resolution as well [2][3][4][5][9][10][11]. MSAA has been around even longer, so it would make sense to use temporal information to improve...

Or “How I got annoyed by a poor decompilation so I unearthed a hidden Ghidra feature”TLDR: there is a (undocumented and disabled by default) feature in the Ghidra decompiler that lets you create your own decompiler passes, using a custom DSL.

I used to always run my blog via a static site generator. For people unfamiliar with this, it essentially means that you modify files locally and then send these files to a static site hoster like GitHub Pages or Cloudflare.
