While the dispute lasted only a few days, with both Synadia and CNCF agreeing that the project remains in the open source ecosystem, the dispute left many concerned about the long-term availability and support of open source projects.

In yet another sign that their bromance is coming to an end — or perhaps that it's already splintered behind the scenes — billionaire Elon Musk is now heavily criticizing president Donald Trump's so-called "big, beautiful bill." In an interview with CBS News over the weekend, Musk said that he's "disappointed" by the price tag of the tax and spending bill, arguing that it "increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing."

This is part 1 of a multi-part series on grass rendering. We’ll start by figuring out how realistic grass should look like, and how herbage can be modeled with the tools we have at our disposal in real-time 3D graphics. Then, we’ll look at how to implement different methods of grass rendering in Godot. However, most of the tutorial will not be Godot-specific aside from some node names and syntax. But before getting into any implementation details, we must first understand what grass even looks
