How did they managed to pull this off so quickly? Given how long WebGPU native is in development and still not finalized, you would think it will take SDL GPU API even longer becau…

Yes, I play acoustic guitar, fingerstyle mostly. Have been playing for a few decades now.

Do people donate more if they see that the app is developed by a lone-wolf developer rather than a team?

And OpenGL 3.3 is still called "modern"

Is anyone here using WebGPU Native in production? In what state is it right now?

"No prototypes. Just make the game. Polish as you go. Don't depend on polish happening later. Always maintain constantly shippable code." - John Romero

1. Modern C++ is obviously a huge topic but if I had to describe it in one sentence I'd go for "use smart pointers and containers instead of raw pointers and raw arrays" or "c++ is…

I like "Learning React" 2nd Edition (2020) by Ranks and Porcello. Emphasis is on functional programming and hooks.

Any examples of modern apps with rich terminal GUI?

This is more of a humor (obviously), but * Blockchain - this is usually the first that comes to mind. * Rust - "hmm, where would I use it now?" is the question you'll ask if you ju…

What is the context of this question?

Go. And I'm glad I did. Feels like a sweetspot between performance of C++ and ease of development of Python.

Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, 4th edition (2020).

That's good news. I think I've read some time ago that guitar sales have plummeted all over the world because people don't play guitars anymore these days. I hope it was just a pha…

I don't think I've had any bad experience with tutorials. Probably because I have low expectations for them anyway. There are a few excellent examples though like learnopengl.com. …

Probably the same way you fight any addiction - you either starve it out or replace it with something that doesn't hurt your performance. Do you listen to music with lyrics? Replac…

I'm using both Linux and Windows, but what attracts me to Win10 is Direct3D 11 and graphics drivers. On Linux you either have to use OpenGL that feels ancient or Vulkan that is a b…
