The moment when you realize you've been looking at an upside down version of Berlin for months without noticing it. Flipped y-axis, of course.

Next post in the series about optimizing shortest-path searches on GPUs is out. Advisory: Contains GLSL and C++ code. https://www.execfoo.de/blog/deltastep_shader.html

My recent obsession has been Vulkan and compute shaders, as usual for finding shortest paths in road networks. I'm documenting my journey in a series of blog posts. The first one is up on my blog! https://www.execfoo.de/blog/deltastep.html

With all the terrible shit going on in the world, I can share some meaningless good news: My garden harvest for 2025 is 150kg (+6kg YoY). That excludes the Jerusalem Artichokes that I had no energy yet prying from the frozen earth. Caloric density is down though! Roughly one day less of "self-sustainability" (16 days). https://www.execfoo.de/garden.html

Es schockiert mich immernoch wie willig das Narrativ von Nazis einfach im Mainstream übernommen wird. Wir haben gerade ziemlich viele Kriesen am Hals aber Migration ist wirklich keine. Diese Lust an der Zerstörung und Macht ist wirklich beängstigend.

I've been tracking everything I harvest from my garden for four years now and 2024 has been the best year so far. I harvested 144kg of vegetables at around 51,000kcal (~17 days of food). That is 43kg more than last year. We ate a lot of pumpkin. https://www.execfoo.de/garden.html

I think using a dependency injection framework should be classified as code obfuscation.

Updated my garden statistics! Last year I was able to produce enough food equivalent to 12.88 days worth of calories. (+5 days). It was a lot of food, but alas I lost some of it to bad storage (both too warm and too cold, you really start to appreciate cellars more). https://www.execfoo.de/garden.html

Nicht alle Probleme lassen sich mit Eurokisten lösen, aber erstaunlich viele.
