I still have more features from the first pass of my renderer to add to my ongoing experiment, this time it's texture mapping. Along the way I find a solve some bugs that I didn't see in my first pass: youtu.be/vc7g46s7qBo

In this conversation I talk with Evan Ovadia, John Austin, and Ryan Fleury to discuss how improving development tools can help us be more effective programmers, and where more tools may not be the right answer to our problems: "Investing In Tools" youtu.be/5JKJfiTnzsI

In the second part of this conversation, the round table and I discuss the possibility of future paradigm shifts in programming tools; some reasons to look forward to it and some reasons it may not work out "Invest In Tools" Part 2 youtu.be/cqe379U6KhQ

Here is a special episode of my codebase series in which I go slightly mad trying to achieve a rigorous understanding of sRGB colors and anti-aliasing techniques. Was it a success? I sure think so. Was the video that came out of it useful? You tell me. youtu.be/MzJwiEIGj7k

In this conversation I talk with Ryan Fleury about the way he designs a UI system. We start off with some of the content from his UI blog posts, and then move past that to talk about what his iteration and design process was like: youtu.be/ueWE7qDbZ2w

Great talk! UI blog series mentioned in the video were main inspiration for writting custom UI system for Disk Voyager. If you're serious about UI, you should go read it!

I'm really excited to finally announce Orca, a new platform for WebAssembly apps. This is a major new Handmade Network project led by @forkingpathsdev. orca-app.dev It's very early, but we've already got a working prototype and are excited to share more soon!

If you're someone who has spent time implementing programming languages (of any flavor) what resources for learning the topic were most valuable to you? Looking for anything, text books, tutorials, videos, talks, etc.

Tweetdeck hasn't been able to load new tweets for the last day or two. When I hit the logout button it sends me to a page with an error message and doesn't log me out. Is it finally the end for me on twitter?

On Handmade, polarizing Internet debate, rational discussion, controversial personas, tribal conflict, and how they relate to the future of computing. rfleury.com/p/the-marketpl…

Here I talk with Matthew Crews of the Fast F# YouTube channel. How does the Handmade ethos translate into F#? And what can the Handmade community learn from that unique perspective? That's what we get into here! youtu.be/HiIngzckYWE

This channel has a lot of cool animated simulation videos, and lately they have been putting out some lectures on how some of the simulations work. Pretty heavy use of differential equations so not for the feint of heart, but very interesting! youtu.be/lgYW2nVn8vk

If you don't enjoy programming, don't worry, it is not your fault. Thousands of people around the world work hard day and night to make programming as miserable for you as possible. It's not suppose to be like that, really. 🫂

Let’s talk about DoD, or data-oriented design. There’s a lot of misconceptions what DoD is and how to apply it to your architecture design. DoD is not a data structure or algorithm. And it is certainly not equivalent to ECS with batched inner join queries. Thread…

Weird... I'm still using tweetdeck just fine. But I suspect my time left here is limited. economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/pana…

I think now is as good a time as any to admit Twitter is more of an addiction than a valuable addition to life. I don't think I'll be heading for a replacement so if this is the only way you can contact me, shoot me an email me at: [email protected] 👋
