i used millions of files from @archive.org to make a website where you can watch how the internet evolved

scroll through home videos and news stories, unedited selfies and collaged memes, all merged in one timeline

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.

A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

We're excited to shine a light on Karim Maaloul today!

He's a true creative force who turns art, design, and code into living, playful experiences. His work reminds us why the web is still a place for wonder!

Try/catch is the em dash of code

Oh, the fantastic code that people write because react hooks can't be called conditionally ✨️

someday i need to do a writeup or a video about why the "dark object system" is so great. but not today. today and tomorrow i am working around a quirk in thief's npc behaviour.

A dev team commissioned me to lead a training course on animation and creativity on the web. It would have been strange to lead a training course on "creative" development and web animation without a presentation tool being part of the theme!

Can anyone recommend JS libs that have a good approach to managing Wasm/WebGPU/WebGL resources?

We have more options these days (FinalizationRegistry / `using`) but I’m curious how people are making use of those in libraries.

A comment on Hacker News: "We can't see software. You can see if a motherboard has twice the necessary components, or if a robot arm just looks wrong, but if your algorithm to process 1000 records takes a thousand times longer than it should (but still finishes in 100 milliseconds) no one notices."

Please, optimize prematurely

Cheers to 10 years of making videos 🥂

I've build myself a new portfolio - let's start a new chapter! 🚀

A tribute to the 80s arcade video games where you'll need to play and interact with the site to unlock all the content and features.

Will you reach the 100% mark?

At this point I consider three.js to be a standard

A QR code in the form of a Truchet tiling

As I was walking home today, I had this idea: Is it possible to turn a QR code into a Truchet tiling that's still a functioning QR code? Yep.

Last one.

I think I have reached the limits of this toy language.
I should add a `sort` function to the language to draw the faces in the correct order, but I think more and more about completely rethinking the language and the environment.

Progress

When I decided to only support HSL for colors I definitely didn't have lighting in mind

- Mom, I'd like to go to SIGGRAPH!
- We have SIGGRAPH at home.

SIGGRAPH at home:

Still only edges, but only drawing the ones where z < 0

Anyway, starting from a linear y (left) rather than phi (right) was a mistake. I removed that code.

And do what? sin(acos(y))
I try to avoid trig as much as I can.
Maybe doing so at the cost of a sqrt is ...irrational 😏

This is just sqrt(1-y^2)

Not being able to chain math operations is definitely in the top 3 of things I hate the most about my language.
