That rings true to me and probably has some truth on other platforms as well. We’re trying for transparency but it does feel like there’s a gap in perspective and goals that could only be reconciled by making space for two really different

Not sure why you would assume that. GP was on track - they wanted voice channels, many of them, before we had any demonstrated demand for it at all. They wanted additional, opt-in roles, so anyone could @ a cadre of self-appointed ‘question

I don’t know enough about these implementations to know if this can be interpreted as a blanket ‘conditionals are fine’ or, rather, ‘ternary operations which select between two themselves non-branching expressions are fine’. Like does this

This was the first thing I did when I wrote a fluid sim as well - I’ve spent a ton of time and energy pursuing ways to get subtractive color effects (the richness and light-subjectivity of pigment) in digital artifacts and have mostly come

That’s the technique I used on a piece that does inpainting across an image at a rate of about 1 image every 8 seconds - I ‘melt’ the results in for the duration until the next patch is ready: https://hardwork.party/aws-epoc

Depending on what you’re after, the common recommendation to start with book of shaders or shadertoy may be counterproductive. In my experience using shaders, fragment shaders are a place where I spend a lot of time and effort, and I do a d

To their second point, blaming the Philippines for dumping our ‘recycling’ in the ocean is a little bit like blaming African countries for burning our e-waste. We can’t pretend you can generate pounds of single-use plastic waste per person
