Wow such a cool educational piece on dithering! Unreal threejs skills on the animations.
finally published this visual article on dithering (part 1)!
I had so much fun and learned a lot while making this. not only about dithering, but also about @threejs.org shaders.
as usual, animated with @animejs.com
enjoy!

Plurlbus' premise is so out there the plot does not hit that hard. The cinematography is so good though, I'll watch the first season till the end though.

My partner is always surprised when I pause a movie or show to nerd out about a firearm on screen. I blame growing up in the US, playing Call of Duty, and watching Forgotten Weapons.

Got a headset so I could play games with my nephew. Arc Raiders did not disappoint. Great mix between exploration and shooter tension.

I’ve been enjoying making arch diagrams with ANCII Flow. Makes it easy to enclose them as comments in code.

For more eye catching presentations FlossFlow looks good. Going to try it next chance I get.

More sites need sepia color modes. Also this framework for building rougelike games with Love2D looks sick.

Been enjoying the Lagrange app for browsing Gemini protocol.
Took me a while to find it since it is not released in App Store, but distributed via TestFlight.

I love jj for version control on my personal projects.
Only gripe I have is the default `jj desc` command does not put the diff in the editor so writing the commit message can be tricky.
Here is a little script to fix that.
