Agreed. It is so, so, so very disappointing. I was deeply surprised (in a non-pleasant way) when I first opened up a Reference Manual for one of those chips and saw that the GPU chapter was, like, four pages. :(

Oops, that's true! I should have dug harder. Thanks for pointing that out.

Very good point, thanks! The ever-popular Mr Lemire often uses this technique, I think it's way easier to follow than straight up assembly. See for instance [1], his post about prefix-recognition in strings (not randomly chosen, it was

Meta: the word "creators" is sorely missing from the title, it should read something like "[...] now requires creators to label [...]"

This is interesting, and it would be so cool with a breakdown showing number of lines of code per area of responsibility/function in the car. I guess many "main display" (entertainment but increasingly other functions too) ar

Meta: a bit late, but there is a 'y' missing from the word "playground" in the title. Also it would be useful to clarify that this is about the Playdate handheld which explains the performance perspective.

It's a waste stream, so if it can be long-term "locked" into construction and not need further processing, that is helpful. That's my thinking at least, it's a way to upcycle waste.

Tim Bray [1] is a co-author of the original XML spec so he is probably not hating on XML so much, no. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Bray

Yes, my bad, thanks. Don't think I can change it now, though.

Seconded (Firefox on Linux), it worked fine with the toggles but once it came to the map-based examples it stopped. Never saw a map scroll, and continuing down the page started to blank out the (assumed to be) maps, so I closed the tab. Ver

So uh compressed raw would be just like a regular (loss-less) compressed image format, then? I thought the distinction between raw and non-raw was the use of lossy compression formats like JPEG.

As a long-time developer against GTK (I started using it back in the 1.x days in the late 90s) this is really awesome to see. I enjoyed the side-by-side comparisons of the old vs new renderer, and especially the idea of homing in on particu

Very cool. I was interested in the use of Filament to implement an entire RISC V processor ("frisc") but the link [1] at the bottom of the readme is broken and some quick searches of both Github and the web turned up nothing. Does

Meta: you have typod the name of the microcontroller as RP4020 twice, might be worth fixing. Nice post, otherwise! Edit: typos, ironically. Mobile phone text editing ~ftw.

This site [1] claims to be a Spanish dictionary and it doesn't agree, it claims the word is "la cortadora de césped". I guess it's possible that the word has become a generic trademark [2] like Kleenex, since of course (

Great tip! I realized I was actually viewing the page in the Github app, so ... still no zoom. :/

Very impressive. One minor nit: the page is for some unfathomable reason not zoomable on mobile (Chrome on Android), making the schematics hard to read. Extra annoying when you click it and get the SVG source (which means it would zoom perf

The annual fee is $15,000 which might be a noticable chunk of money for a small operation. Not just laziness, necessarily.
