Sorry, I wasn't clear (and have edited the post), I absolutely do believe that usability is important, and to be honest I feel like it's the main problem with graphics APIs (at least for my skill level). Where I'm at now is t

Looking at the code examples (e.g. the cube[0]), I can’t get away from the idea that this looks very similar to standard OpenGL bindings, just with a different style of boilerplate. At some point (for basic rendering examples at least), you

I wonder what the dev/CI process looks like on this. Will it ultimately be manually loading a build into specific hardware each time, or is there a level of automation that can be done here?

Thanks for the detailed answer :) All this does for me is raise the question of why they chose to use the `.` for so many different uses. I'd be fine if it was just to infer the type, but it seems very overloaded.

Yeah, after looking it up, it looks like it is basically only used as either field access or an 'infer operator', is that right? I thought it was used in four completely separate ways: · normal struct field access · anonymous stru

The dot syntax used everywhere really confuses me. I get its use in struct fields, or for defining anonymous structs, but what is this one for? (Some kind of module-level enum space, where .sampler and .unknown are defined previously?)

Great stuff! I can imagine the financial modelling side is a particularly difficult balance, yeah. Mod support sounds amazing though, I'll keep a look out. :)

This looks great. I've had a quick look through the docs and can't see anything about bikes under transport, or, under housing, anything relating to modes of tenure that aren't private rentals (e.g. Vienna-style social housin

Nice project! I’ve been doing something very similar recently[0] with slightly different goals (still a tiny bundle size, but fully typed uniforms, deeper control over buffer bytes and layout, and less setup than raw gl). Some in the commen

The point of civilisation, however loose that idea may be, if it’s anything at all, is determined by people. Technology exists today in a way that feels like it could be defining its own path in a sense, but much like oral tradition, neithe

This is an insane claim: > The entire point of civilization and society is that we are all "addicted" to technology and progress. Technology is like much of material reality, in that we can think whatever the hell we like about

Is there a general preference for serifs, or a local style in Finland for this reason? German certainly has typographic preferences that err toward taller x-heights and narrower forms due to heavy use of portmanteaus. It’d be interesting to

This sounds really interesting, do you have any more info or a repo to follow?

I’d go further than this and say globally-scoped CSS is fine as long as you’re using a decent naming pattern (e.g. BEM), or @layers. For me, back in the JQuery days, the problem was always globally-scoped JS/DOM, rather than CSS. The b

rsync needs some love on this. The most memorable args for me are `-mrchivas`, because together they sound somewhat like a name (“Mister Chivas”) (I drop the -a depending on whether archive is needed, Mr. Chivs sounds fun too)

Ooo nice, I didn’t know about this. Thanks for posting, looks interesting, and framework agnostic to boot :) (Edit: well, potentially at least) I did try to make something like this a couple years back to deal with multiple renderers and a

That’s a shame, I’ve also been through much the same process. Astro is pretty good too, though. I’m not 100% sure on some of the decisions it’s made, and personally don’t enjoy the need for new file formats and domain specific languages, bu

I don’t disagree on that front, the React ecosystem is huge, and rebuilding a load of complex components is often beyond the budgets of many greenfield projects. I also don’t believe a React monoculture is good, so a growing Preact or Solid

Deno Fresh seems like it has the right approach. It’s not complicated, the docs are refreshingly simple, and it handles both server and client logic without getting confused. It’s just a shame it’s Deno-only (although I completely understan

Clearing the waste sounds like a good thing, I guess. Haven't got time to read the study, but can this have beneficial effects to do while awake? It certainly feels quite strange after watching the prototype for 8 cycles.

Composer’s means of including packages doesn’t do the language any favours imo — it doubles down on namespaces (and complex PSR 4/7 ones at that) and the cli isn’t particularly intuitive. To me, what PHP needs is a simple module system

Great paper, thanks for posting. It reminded me of a lot of themes present in my design education, of political downstream effects created by apparently neutral technical decisions, and therefore the inherent responsibility of creators when
