He said it might melt your processor... but on a macbook m3 in arc runs great, like every one of those was amazing.
That's because transparency limits how you can batch draws on the GPU. With opaque draws, you can use the depth buffer and draw in any order you like e.g. maximizing batching. With transparency, you need to draw things in the right order for blending to work (painters order).
> However, using a transparent color significantly slowed down the number that can be drawn too which doesn't make as much sense to me. I'd imagine that with hardware today transparency should be somewhat free. That's because transparency limits how you can batch draws on the GPU.

On Safari iPad, I lose the ability to scroll or do anything somewhere in the middle of the article.
Any references to learn more about these hacks?

Can't you mathematically work out how to change the colors/opacity to rearrange the job?

> It also turns out that some smart people figured out maths hacks to draw rounded boxes for super cheap which UI peeps love because with this hack boxes can be so round as to appear as circles Any references to learn more about these hacks?
