Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Blender has done far better than most open source software but Maya is still very much the industry standard. I don't think we can realistically say that Maya is beaten until Blender is battle-pro

They don't name names but it's probably due to the ongoing Cloudflare explosion. I know the DigitalOcean Spaces CDN is just Cloudflare under the hood.

It validates the object shape at runtime, much like you can do in Typescript with a library like Zod. The key difference in this case is that Rust makes it scary to not validate data while Typescript will gladly let you YOLO it and blow y

What did ILM work on? I'm looking but I can't find anything regarding them even using Blender at any point, nevermind contributing back to it. Blender has seen more success than most open source art tools but it still seems to be

Also consistently the most played game on Steam by a fair margin. That doesn't necessarily make it the most played PC game since some big titles like League and Fortnite aren't on Steam, but it's at least close.

That build uses a 13 year old CPU from AliExpress, there's no accounting for taste but I think most entry level builds are aiming a little higher than that. Some newer games won't even try to run on a CPU of that vintage since it

I assumed they meant an entry level gaming computer, not something with potato-grade integrated graphics, but I agree it's vague.

That's great as long as it works, but D3DMetal is a proprietary, closed-source Apple library so you can and probably will get rug-pulled by Apple neglecting or deprecating it as their priorities change. They've only ever positione

Valve could implement a separate Metal backend for Proton, what I'm saying is they probably wouldn't want to spend their resources on that.

Pretty unlikely as long as Apple refuses to support Vulkan. Even if they did, the whole Proton project is about Valve controlling their own destiny rather than being chained to someone else's platform, and Apple is just another Microso

(rewriting this comment because the spec sheet has seemingly been updated) Looks like it can do 4k 120hz, but since it's limited to HDMI 2.0 it will have to rely on 4:2:0 chroma subsampling to get there. Unfortunately the lack of HDMI
