Does this website run at 10fps for anyone else? I'm on a mac M4 w/ safari. Really doesn't help the author's point.

You should! And you might enjoy this video about making a CPU rasterizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyJ-hdISgnw Note that when the parent comment says "software rendering" th…

RGB doesn't map to a single line, you're thinking just about the hue. RGB is a proper vector that addresses a whole 3D color space.

Does anyone know if this tech (or Iroh) is suitable for real-time networking for games? Basically, once connection is established, what's the overhead on top of UDP in terms of lat…

Take a broader view of what "building secure systems" means. It's not just about the code being written by ICs but about the business incentives, tech choices of leadership, the in…

Everyone's talking about the music but I also love the dot rendering system you're using for terrain and plants! Very neat effect, simple but it's a nice style. I'd love to see a w…

Steve put the nail in the coffin but the downfall started and was primarily caused by Macromedia being purchased by Adobe, IMHO. All the problems of Flash were solvable had it cont…

This is missing much, including that we've outsourced our manufacturing (and thus CO2 from manufacturing) but we still buy lots of stuff that requires intense manufacturing.

I've used [0] to profile WebGPU code w/ Nvidia Nsight, but yes better tools built into Chrome would be very nice. [0] https://frguthmann.github.io/posts/profiling_webgpu/

Damn, I wish they had filmed this restoration and put it all on YouTube, that would have been an incredible channel. Like Tally Ho[0] but for a plane. [0] https://www.youtube.com/@…

I've made https://sprig.land , a webgpu-based game engine and have plans to transpile the whole thing into a new visual scripting language I'm inventing but I'll eventually share i…

Roblox uses a heavily customized version of Lua, and in it they've fixed many of the pain points of Lua and JS. One example is their Lua allows value types/copy semantics, native n…

“Since” could mean yesterday. But i would like to hear more details of the corruption if parent is willing to share. This is pretty much my worst nightmare scenario.

Yup, the whole vertex and pixel stages I believe.

Pretty sure these are very different phenomena both called "ubershaders". As far as I understand it, outside of Dolphin, when people say "ubershader" they mostly mean a large mater…

I've tried many but never gotten into any Zachtronics games for one simple reason: they are all puzzle games. For me the motivation just never materializes. Contrast this to 100s o…

Yikes I hate that Thierry is using "#freefortnite". You can be completely on board with the DMA but still see Epic's behavior as entirely profit motivated and "freeing Fortnite" sh…

Upcoming there's also Vello[0][1] by Raph Levien, who has a bunch of experience w/ font rendering at Google. He's also working on a Rust UI library[2] and has a great talk on compu…

probably this one: https://gist.github.com/hellerbarde/2843375

Amazing. Now it just needs a nice wood enclosure and matching induction charging pedestal. Kickstarter please take my money!

Most indie games have a publisher and publishers have a lot of control.

I’ve always preferred the Wolfire approach[0]: animation should “do no harm” to player control, it’s only there to add flavor, never at the cost of game responsivity [0] https://yo…

A more in-depth and broader version of that talk by Michael is here: https://youtu.be/jLiHLDrOTW8?si=unfPK_k1TUHmRI7m

Yeah, definitely a sloppy analogy ironically enough. But as a woodworker I’ve realize most people when they hear plywood they’re really thinking OSB or cheap particle board. Qualit…

Words change in meaning over time. This isn't your Roman decimated.
