This is super neat: github.com/Evidlo/remar... Turns a remarkable (e-ink tablet) into a wireless pen tab. Even includes pressure sensitivity if you use this (unmerged) PR: github.com/Evidlo/remar... Interesting that pen-hover still works even though it's not visible on the tablet itself.

@randomascii.bsky.social just wanted to say I tried UIForETW today and was really impressed! Also found the codebase pretty easy to extend and added custom events for GPU frequency, which is really helping me with some investigations. Thanks!

I'm not sure how widely known it is that older GDC talks are all freely available on the GDC Vault. It looks like every video <= 2022 is available. (Talks are selectively available for the 2 most recent years.) Here are the 2022 ones: gdcvault.com/browse/gdc-22/

Foam has been added and that concludes the programming work for this project, as this is the last week. There is a chance that I can take this project over into the next one, where together with a bunch of other Programmers we will develop a specific genre game engine. Looking forward to it 😁

I wrote this post about the illusion that indie is a 'superior development style' about a week ago and waffled on whether or not it was still relevant enough to post. Aftermath putting up a podcast on the same topic today convinced me to finally shove it out the door. auratriolo.com/blog/2025/01...

By request, a small follow up to my previous blog on DRS, this time covering PC specific difficulities. Interestingly due to the platform rather than the hardware. martinfullerblog.wordpress.com/2025/01/06/d...

Hey there bsky! I'm looking for an internship in graphics/engine programming anywhere in the world (I'm willing to relocate). If you happen to know any open positions or if you work at a company that is taking interns, feel free to contact me! Portfolio ⬇️

Ok for all the generative AI slop buzzwords, there’s a bunch of interesting and likely useful stuff in the longer form Nvidia blog: developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-... The compression cases are interesting, and despite how awful that pic of the AI face is, it’s at least not what I thought it was.
