In the W3C process, in order for a TR to upgrade from a Draft to a finished specification, it needs two shipping implementations. Firefox and Safari are both working on theirs. We hope the only changes involved in this process will be minor

Chrome is switching to using Dawn (Google's WebGPU implementation) for its Skia backend. This would render all UI elements across Chrome using WebGPU. You can find plenty of projects that are using WebGPU today. In the web space, Babyl

I mean, it's still happening to them, one whole year later. To be completely honest, are you unable to recognize that from their perspective, you are shit, because they're having serious issues with your product, and you stopped h

Talking about a serious bug where thousands of people appear to be kicked from rooms that's been going on for over a year is not a "pile-on". It's a very bad experience for everyone involved, and people are just pointing

Stack blur is a fast, discrete tent filter (weights are 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, normalize, it makes a triangle/tent shape). You can find tent filter blurs all over, including in Apple's own image processing library: https://deve

No, it's about replacing the static shader register allocation with more of a cache, allowing for more dynamic occupancy usage of the GPU. Memory is still memory.

PBR is not really a new rendering stack or a new framework, but a way of thinking about the asset creation process and shader development that allows for more of a separation between material models and lighting. There were a few things ass

You can improve your antialiasing, assuming you're willing to use the well-supported OES_standard_derivatives extension (or WebGL 2). Instead of doing smoothstep(0.0f, 0.01f, dist); with the constants picks sort of at random, instead d

There are "clipboard managers" that will internally copy the last copied thing as best it can from the clipboard owner, and then when the application exits, will mark its copy as the clipboard owner going forward. If you aren&#x27

Ever since Apple rewrote their WebGL backend in Safari (and even a bit before then), it's been fine. I even do a 5-tap PCF which works just fine on iOS for me.

Also, while looking at your Which Way Round, I notice you're using cascade shadow maps with 4 cascades, which seems a bit overkill considering I can only spot 2 cascades on the page. It seems you're also rendering depth to an RGBA

A couple notes: 1. For blur, rather than the ARM approach, these days I recommend just going with the Jimenez blur filter [0]. It's basically the same thing, but with smarter choice of weights, and the quality is better. You could also

Right, so "f" and "i" are two separate grapheme clusters (and always are), but might map to one rendered glyph under certain fonts that combine them into a ligature. Grapheme clusters have a specific definition that does

I mean, Porter-Duff only specifies coverage, and the blending modes affect the actual colors. Porter-Duff is more like the mask tool than it is the blend mode.

It's because OpenGL is a dying specification based on an outdated, horrible programming model, and Khronos's conformance tests are weird and ridiculous. The conformance tests are not open-source (there's a separate "conf
