jayeshsalvi | 4 years ago | on: Arcane director of animation on how they did it

Just what I was looking for. IMHO Arcane marks a milestone progress in Animation technology.

Also glad that the article confirmed that they don't use MoCap. It was such a great choice. I recently watched another visually exquisite animation movie on Netflix (the one in the Bright universe). There they used completely flat shading to achieve toon look for characters and environment, but made the characters move with MoCap animations. It looked very eerie.

Good read. America today looks like the crumpling world described by Ayn Rand in `Atlass Shrugged`. Ironically the reason of this downfall is the adoption of naive form of capitalism that Ayn Rand popularized.

jayeshsalvi | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Are books worth it?

A general rule of thumb is the older the written word, more valuable it is. Accordingly, the books that have been around for a while and are still well-known they give highest value from the time you invest in reading them. The content on Internet is mostly about current events and it lacks the depth that old books have. News or opinions on current events will most likely become irrelevant and obsolete. The stuff worth reading will survive the test of time and you can read it in future. Staying up-to-date with current happenings is overrated, because most of those things don't happen our daily life. Therefore best invest your time reading meaningful books.

There is a more serious impact of downgrading if you were hosting a static website from a private repository on github with a pro account. Apparently that's not supported with free account. My personal website went down as soon as I downgraded to free. I didn't mind making the repo public, so it was an easy fix, but may not be same for others.

The news item is based on single study performed in single country of small size with 3346 men as sample set. Hardly representative.

I believe there's not much value in making games that run in browser and served from website. But real value of Babylon like Javascript libraries lies in their portability. I would use Electron like framework to create desktop app for my Javascript game created using Babylon, then sell it on Steam. Unity and Unreal are good portable options, but they lack the complete open nature of web technologies. They have their own private scripting languages that are not portable. A game engine written in Javascript is therefore more valuable.

It's not Electron that has performance issues, but the apps aren't probably coded properly. I've been developing my app using electron for a year now and haven't seen it hog cpu/memory unless it's a bug in my application.
