What’s your take on 2d canvas? I always see these 2d Toole using webgl and wonder how big of a difference it is. Filters of course work best in webgl. But the rest? Also, do you use offscreencanvas in chrome?

Ignorant HA requirements, will this work fine with a single beefy node in home network or would I be better off running multiple vms on that single server which then run separate Kubernetes nodes?

What would you recommend for development of some private project on a local server? No cloud cluster, bare metal and great opportunity to learn. Something on the order of 20-40 services for even the most trivial things. Development speed ab

I don’t think it affected the adoption of VR much. OTOH it might be very beneficial in the long run that VR had a slow start. Probably the most dangerous thing to happen here is if customers are forever scared away due to bad but expensive
