I wish more designers thought this way. I have a blog post draft called, “5 principals of interactive animation” aping the “12 principles of animation” from the 80's that I thought every would-be UX designer might learn from. It mirror

The report says that includes two full-time infrastructure engineers. Which isn’t crazy given Rust infrastructure’s userbase and traffic. $15k seems pretty lean to me for Zig since it includes hardware purchases.

Artists call this practise "master studies", which is a nice term for music, code and other disciplines too.

Interesting, thanks, you might be right: xcrun stapler validate /path/to/DogWalk.app …shows: DogWalk.app does not have a ticket stapled to it (But spctl --assess --type exec --verbose /path/to/DogWalk.app shows

Agreed, didn't mean to take away from that. I subscribe to the blog and have learned a lot from the Blender Studio team to see their process: https://studio.blender.org/projects/dogwalk/production-logs/

Played this for about an hour on release day. Pros: charming character and environment design, beautiful modelling, animation and sound. A good demo of what Blender and a talented team can make. It's worth downloading to experience. Co

Great start! Gentle feedback: - Text hints should probably be off by default, they give too much of a hint. - Auto-advance to next puzzle would be helpful, clicking “next puzzle” gets tiresome. - Typo in the puzzle categories list: “Egnlish

I did not expect 2025 to be the year K-pop finally hooked me. Completely see why Demon Hunters has taken the US charts. I watched it for the animation (same Sony Pictures Animation studio as the Spider-Verse movies). It's breathtaking

I ended up switching from Zig to C# for a tiny game project because C# already supports cross-platform hot reload by default. (It’s just `dotnet watch`.) Coupled with cross-compilation, AOT compilation and pretty good C interop, C# has been

He's right: Markdown was built for web editing in an era where physical keyboards outnumbered virtual ones. It doesn't really make sense for Notes outside of export. There's little benefit to it as an input system on iOS/

Time isn't that much of a handicap. High-level players just have much better pattern recognition and intuition. It's the same reason they adapt faster to weird positions in Fischer Random than lower-rated classical players. Even w

I don't think books and tutorials help that much. Playing and making games — a lot of games — might help you grow more as a designer than reading and watching YouTube. 1. Do master studies. Take a tiny environment or mechanic of a game

It’s not memory safe. People say, “oh, it’s safer than C because tests can warn of missed deinits” but the fact is it isn’t memory safe by design and it’s not a priority for the language. There are still reasons to use it and there are doma

Last time I tried it was missing both speed and incremental compilation. That still looks to be the case due to no linker support. https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/21165
