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.

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 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 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 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…
