    I can recommend OpenTK [0]. I've used it recently to create a 3D renderer, and I have not run into any issues. [0] https://opentk.net/

    I personally avoid Visual Studio Code as much as possible due to the scroll latency, so I think it is noticeable as long as you know what to look for.

    There was a production car planned called the Lightyear One [0], originating from a Dutch student team, but if I recall correctly it was quite difficult and expensive to manufactur…

    I personally use Skia, in combination with a very thin platform layer. I do use C++ so that might still be a bit too low level, but after having set up everything, the Skia API is …

    That wasn't my intention. The intention was to share the joy of working on a single project for a long time, and holding myself accountable to keep working on this project instead …

    Hi HN, I’m working on a 3D modeling app, and landed on a simple approach to implementing undo for a mesh graph data structure. I’d also love to be pointed to other techniques or ap…

    I think it’s a bug in getting a useful outcome, but it’s a feature in creating engagement with the post.

    I have the same issue. For many of the questions my answer is "all of the above, but A in context A, B in context B, etc.". Many are also not mutually exclusive. Take this example:…

    I get “A problem repeatedly occurred on ” on iOS Safari.

    I didn't know about Feather 3D, but it looks super aesthetically pleasing. I'll have to try it out. I tried uMake a while back, but found the 3D viewport navigation a bit hard to u…

    That's a good way of looking at it! I'm definitely aiming to build a more focused app compared Blender, as I want to focus explicitly on modeling, e.g. BRep or NURBs. What kind of …

    I haven't used picocad, but I came across it once before. It looks adorable! I'll definitely check out its UX.

    I'm currently in contact with the Blender team to see where I could contribute, but you're right that there is space for multiple projects. I think I'm going to focus more on CAD /…

    I'm building my own polygon modeling app for iOS as a side-project [0], so I feel a bit conflicted. Getting fully featured Blender on the iPad will be amazing for things like Greas…

    To add to this list, Apple has MSL, which uses a subset of C++

    I think this is indeed the advantage of this paper taking C++ as the language to compile to SPIR-V. Game engines and other large codebases with graphics logic are commonly written …

    What is the main difference in shading languages vs. programming languages such as C++? Metal Shading Language for example uses a subset of C++, and HLSL and GLSL are C-like langua…

    Could you elaborate on why you think libraries are an anti-pattern? Is the alternative just one library or executable, with namespaces and directory structure being the source of t…

    For me, Docker Desktop is simply an easy way to launch the Docker daemon and inspect some created images and their corresponding logs. Other than that, the cli suffices.

    At the company I currently work for we also use C++, and I am quite proficient in it. But the amount of times I have slowed myself down by simple lifetime issues makes me want to s…

    Although there are excellent alternatives to C++ such as Rust, C++ is still widely used as many open-source and commercial codebases are built with it. Adding features to a languag…
