Why I'm Leaving NixOS After a Year?

Why I'm Leaving NixOS After a Year? Around a year ago, I published a blog post explaining my overall experience Switching from Arch to NixOS. You can read it if you’re interested in my early experiences, but, to give you a spoiler, that post ends with me saying: Unfortunately, though, I don’t think the benefits I’ve gotten in this one month of using NixOS so far justified the cost I’ve initially spent and continue to spend learning Nix and NixOS. — Ultimately, whether the benefits of learnin

More is less: I can’t make myself use Nothing’s Glyph Matrix

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-14 17:30:59

Nothing’s original Glyph Interface was the perfect level of gimmick — it added a bit of flair to the back of its first few phones, but always felt like it had a purpose. I trusted it for everything from following the charge of my battery to watching for an incoming phone call, and it was one cool thing I could always show off to my iPhone-toting friends. Unfortunately, the Nothing Phone 3 took everything I loved about the original Glyph Interface and sent it back to the drawing board. It replac

Perfecting anti-aliasing on signed distance functions

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-16 11:55:47

← index Doing anti-aliasing on SDF is not as straightforward as it seems. Most of the time, we see people use a smoothstep with hardcoded constants, sometimes with screen space information, sometimes cryptic or convoluted formulas. Even if SDFs have the perfect mathematical properties needed for a clean anti-aliasing, the whole issue has a scope larger than it appears at first glance. And even when trivial solutions exist, it's not always clear why they are a good fit. Let's study that together

A dive into open chat protocols

A dive into open chat protocols I’m between projects right now, so as is my idiom I’m going to take some random topic that has caught me on a manic swing in my little bipolar life, and dive deeper into it for a few days.

Gemini Will Overshadow the Best Upgrades to Google’s New Pixel Buds and Pixel Watch
