First bit of interactivity! Spent the weekend refactoring most of the code from the last two weeks, significantly improving the responsiveness of the keypad hander and simplifying the drivers. Now it’s all integrated with the embedded-graphics crate for consistent color typing.

Adding pyo3 to td-rs for Better Python Integration charlotte, for your information

wrote about some dirty hacks i did last year to integrate pyo3 with td-rs, providing i think the best ergonomics for writing custom python extensions in @touchdesigner.bsky.social www.charlotte.fyi/posts/td-rs-...

super exited for this release! ✨ this cycle, i worked on the following features covered in the release notes:

A photo of the Tangara, a small music player that is reminiscent of the classic iPod. It's shown sitting on a desk next to the box it comes in and a keyboard. It's playing "No Problems" by Ginger Root.

My Tangara arrived! Look at that cute little thing! And it's @oshwassociation.bsky.social certified open source hardware!

Fantastic work, @erinrose.bsky.social @buzzyrobin.bsky.social @jacqueline.id.au @ailurux.bsky.social!

Good morning, I published a new blog post:

It's ostensibly about continuous integration, fuzzing, and panic safety (but secretly, it's about the desire to do good engineering)

One of the tedious aspects of modeling SDFs with raw shader code is adjusting the position of objects, so I'm adding transform gizmos into my tool

They write changes directly to the shader on disk, so I don't need an external object hierarchy

I've just announced my new (blazing-fast) kernel for implicit surfaces: mattkeeter.com/projects/fid...

It's got something for everyone: Cool graphs! Multithreaded WebAssembly! Terrible mesh topology! JIT compilers!

After three years, I'm excited to finally show it off to a wider audience 😎

Two cups of hot cocoa, one is much wider at the top and both are filled with mini marshmallows

If you use a shorter, wider mug you can have as much cocoa and 3x the marshmallows

all right i think the structure is going to be just like, what if your data is shaped like X but plot likes Y. here is my first attempt at documenting an @observablehq.com Plot data-shape conundrum and its solution observablehq.com/d/8e978837f5...

Dataviz accessibility principles, demonstrated by the 2024 presidential election dashboards. by Sarah L. Fossheim I tested how well different election dashboards implemented common dataviz accessibility princples, and explained where things went wrong (including lots of demos).

WOAH! @fossheim.bsky.social has just published the single-best piece I've *ever* seen on how to apply principles of accessibility to data visualization. My jaw is on the floor.

Seriously, if you only ever read a single thing for accessible visualization, let it be this:

Geomys, a blueprint for a sustainable open source maintenance firm Announcing Geomys, a small firm of professional maintainers with a portfolio of critical Go projects.

In 2022, I left Google in search of a sustainable approach to open source maintenance. A year later, I was a full-time independent maintainer.

Today I’m announcing the natural progression of that experiment: Geomys, a small firm of professional maintainers with a portfolio of critical Go projects.

Bluesky is built to give users control over their social spaces online. Today, we’re open sourcing Ozone, a tool that lets users collaboratively inspect and label content on the network.

Later this week, we’re opening up the ability for users to run their own independent moderation services.

Finally got around to uploading my visual set with @r-tyler.bsky.social at CCRMA!

You can add alt texts to figures in #LaTeX with `alt={...}`.
The alt texts won't necessarily appear in the generated PDF until new versions of LaTeX but let's start with this good practice now.

I stumbled across this post today while doing research for work. And MAN is this a good lesson for all software development teams.

TREAT ACCESSIBILITY AS BUGS, NOT FEATURE REQUESTS!!!!
