It still won’t work ootb on linux!!! It worked fine in my testing - maybe some failure to initialize device sometimes. I haven’t touched webGPU since right before last summer. Hopefully firefox is also working on that since it sounds like chrome has deprioritized it.

It’s been so long. Previous employment we were trying to get WebGPU support in but we couldn’t get CTO approval because a lack of adoption and our lead engineer didn’t want it if it didn’t support XR.

I saw this post and immediately googled WebXR support and had a little deja vu moment when the first github discussion I opened was from you 3 years ago.

Had some fun replacing the processor in this vintage serial trackball. There was some existing examples for Arduino Micro but I want to eventually make this Bluetooth so this is an esp32.

This ingests the Vulkan specs xml file and creates an in memory representation for custom generators to generate whatever you’d like. Heavily influenced by VulkanHPP. The goals in the future are to make some friendlier nim features atop the basic vulkan api so nim devs can easily try vulkan.

GitHub - DanielBelmes/VulkanNim: Vulkan bindings that take more influence from VulkanHpp Vulkan bindings that take more influence from VulkanHpp - DanielBelmes/VulkanNim

Something I like doing to challenge myself is using less known languages so I don’t have too many references I can copy and paste from. My main challenge is Vulkan rendering. A couple weeks ago I finalized my Vulkan Binding generator in Nim!

My older cat wanted them to stop. Grey cat also wanted them to stop. The dark tuxedo void that is the middle shelf was the only one interested. Every time they would all perk up and look around. Especially at the start with all the panic meows.

The cat noises caused a lot of cat confusion in my home. But I think everyone, the cats included, enjoyed the film.

Couple years ago I got my feet scanned at a fleet foot on a machine made by Volumental. They provide you a 3d viewer and I was able to extract out the mesh data to 3d print! Now I have to convince my wife these human sized feet would look great on the office walls.

It’s so wide. I was shocked. The real shock was the bagmag. It’s about 5 pounds because all the septums have an aluminum plate for rigidity. Hopefully I can 3d print some replacements.

I’ll start with my niche interest. Graflex cameras. This is a 5x7 Graflex Auto. It’s a fixed landscape SLR. With a 12 shot bagmag to hold film. This has exited my home and went to Jerry Gordon for repair as it was to much to refurbish at home.
