We're expanding again! Check out the new roles at our Edinburgh office: kpv-lab.co.uk/jobs/

@marcinignac @KPV_LAB @EdinburghJS Later this year - at some point ;)

@subblue @KPV_LAB @EdinburghJS Is there a talk explaining what are you up to at the lab? Or is it still stealth mode?

This evening I'm giving a talk at @EdinburghJS in CodeBase: 'Techniques, Tools, Tips & Tricks' - how we do things on our projects at @KPV_LAB Doors open at 6:30pm

@alecmce's @EdinburghJS Introduction to WebGL presentation is now online: kpv-webgl-talk.onrender.com which is itself made in #webgl (Github repo link inside)

We're proud to be sponsoring @EdinburghJS for the next 6 months. Last night our @alecmce gave a very nice intro to WebGL (the entire presentation itself a WebGL app - repo link to follow soon). Followed by @glennjones with a nice intro to various machine learning tools for JS

After years of work my dad has an expanded and free to read Jupyter Book version of his huge textbook online: Applying Maths in the Chemical and Biomolecular Sciences applying-maths-book.com/intro.html #chemistry #maths #ebooks

Models in engineering & science have *way* more complexity in geometry/materials than what conventional solvers can handle. But imagine if simulation was like Monte Carlo rendering: just load up a complex model and hit "go"; don't worry about meshing, basis functions, etc. [1/n]

@adonaldson I just came across this infographic visualisation, which puts a real tangible perspective on the issue: realworldvisuals.com/blog-1/a-new-c…

the Bézier video is now out!! 🎉 I've spent the last month working on this - I hope you'll like my audiovisual exploration of these math noodles! 💖 youtube.com/watch?v=aVwxzD…

Some tests of the Fortress </> shader for #magicavoxel

@rsms @blixt Ahh yes, Chrome has made the warning less intrusive than it used to be and it only shows the first time in a session, which I had missed.

@subblue @blixt You can’t avoid the warning. Figma ships an electron wrapper app though where the warning banner is disabled.

As a little side project this week I’ve put together a simple playground for learning about input pointer latency in web browsers and experimenting with the idea of using path prediction, as demonstrated in this video. Play here: rsms.me/pointer-latenc…

@rsms @blixt I'm intrigued how you enabled the alt+click drag of a number field in Figma without it triggering the large pointer lock warning when within a browser?

@blixt Yeah! I actually implemented it in Figma a few years ago (if you hold ALT and click in a numeric input field and drag, you can “scrub” the value.) Did lots of research on latency and in Chrome at least, there’s no difference at all compared to pointer events.
