Meta: If I had to rank software features of an NLE when I was employed as an editor, key-to-photon (or click-to-sample, etc) latency would rank #1, far outpacing all other concerns. It's fundamental to the rhythm feel of the result, an

I really have to hand it to these companies for making these sensors. They're thin margin, not a sectorial revenue driver, but still fundamental to the industry in a "who else is going to do it?" sort of way. Every once in a

The proprioception on the index finger while bending on guitar is worse for me than locking the ring finger and using the wrist to control the magnitude of the bend. Useless backfill-ass finger.

This is wonderful. Truly the spirit of the 2000s internet. I wish designers helped modernize the looks. This needs to be well-used

Every "Perception for VR" class I give focuses on understanding proprioception. Designers ignore it until they experience spatial planning just with proprioception: • Start by closing your eyes and touching your nose. Why can you

To those who use Unity currently: • Has the engine improved in any capacity in the past 5 years for your usecase? (IL2CPP is the only example that comes to mind) • Are workflows faster or more reliable? • Has any AI tool become available fo

I'm usually surprised when no-nonsense economic incentives fly under the radar nowadays. You'd expect this, much like subsidized education or any other workforce support utility, to just be a hot topic in a media landscape that lo

Layoffs always suck, and the things and people Epic are getting rid of will hurt everyone, but credit is due for allocating the budget to take care of everyone, including accelerating the vesting schedule. The communication around the layof

The most fun part of these projects is seeing people quickly build ad-hoc renderers for E-Ink. Very quickly you find out you need render passes, dithering, debanding, etc. Here's my weather E-Ink board (which consistently gives a faste

This is a reminder that we can, in fact, have Nice Things – if there only were a market for Nice Things. I'd love to have a decently integrated watch with low battery usage (and generally low stakes for wearing/replacing) which I

I think this is the biggest mental shift to make when considering OpenUSD. It allows splitting the data representation from the render pipeline. On the data side, OpenUSD can support BIM just fine: • Can store the geo representation, will r

OpenUSD has a plaintext encoding mode, which by convention gets saved as .usda. The standard OpenUSD SDK contains two command line utilities `usdcat` and `usdedit` to do plaintext editing, but most programs using the SDK have better editing

Brad was one of the first users of a program I was working on, which he used for his work at Sandia National Labs. He would send me frequent, detailed feedback - respectful and kind, inquiring about possible solutions he'd thought of.
