True... this was a conscious trade-off at Figma since it needs to support designs for web, iOS, Android, etc. That unfortunately means it doesn't map 1:1 to any of them.

I'm guessing the comment was downvoted because the suggestions are mentioned in the first paragraph of the article... > After trying a few stopgap solutions—like purchasing M1 Maxs for our team—build times gradually reverted to thei

Figma supported vector networks a few years before that thesis was written (I worked there at the time).

Hmm, why does this page say that iOS has 1.26% support? Safari developer preview isn't supported on iOS, and neither are non-Apple browser engines.

Strongly recommend either The Way of Kings or Mistborn. They're the first books in two separate series of his. The Way of Kings is epic fantasy. Mistborn is somewhere between fantasy and YA.

Neat! In my experience jump flooding on the GPU is faster than any CPU side approach for images bigger than a few hundred pixels. It's O(n ^ 2 log n) which sounds really expensive, but it requires just O(log n) draw calls. The link you

Ah, thanks for clarifying! I think someone already called this out above, but the benefit of the approach I describe is that you only need one sample per pixel. Four samples per pixel starts to feel pretty slow on my machine, and I suspect

There are definitely more physically accurate ways to render soft shadows, but AFAIK they all involve some kind of bounce lighting where light bounces off of objects in the scene and indirectly lights other parts of it. This looks great whe

Thanks! I've learned a ton from iq's writing. He's such an inspiration! I find that his articles are best for folks who already know a thing or two about computer graphics. Here's a post that I think is pretty good for b

Author here. That's a neat trick! > I mention this because the mystery of the getDistance() function is often one of the tricky parts of demos like these. I agree! In the demos I use a library I wrote to generate 2D distance fields:

The page's domain and title are disappointing to me. Using sexualized language can create an environment that is unduly hostile to women, even if this is not intended. Many of the biases against women that such language provokes are to

That depends on how you define progress. Just to play devil's advocate: what if you define progress as "that stuff" that will increase the general well-being of the greatest number of people over the next 20 years? With that

Out of curiosity, what platform do you design for? I often make designs for web and mobile web, and I want my text to look the same in my design tool as it does on the platform I'm designing for. Since mobile devices don't support

Thanks for the report - I reproduced and fixed an issue on a Windows machine. It'd be great if you could let me know if it now works for you!

Yeah! It's a pretty big omission in my post that I don't talk about other methods of generating Voronoi diagrams, but I wanted to keep it relatively short. Chris Wellons has a great article on the method that you mention: http:&#

I'm sorry that you're running into issues - I just got started with WebGL and I don't have a Windows machine to test on. I'd be interested to know if other WebGL demos work on your machine. Do you see a triangle and squa
