Daniel Holden ☛ Let's talk about Animation Quality
Attending both CVPR and SIGGRAPH this year it was interesting to observe and discuss the difference between how vision and graphics researchers approach the field of animation. There was a sense from some researchers that the reviews from the graphics communities like SIGGRAPH could be too tough, and rejected papers based on petty irrelevant issues like shadow quality. While on the other side there were feelings that the vision community are willfully ignoring problems in their results while marching forward to develop new models. And I think both of these feelings really come to the forefront on the issue of animation quality, so I thought it might be a good opportunity to examine that subject a bit more.

Knorr ☛ Replacing nginx with axum
Axum is a Rust library to write web services, and I'm maintaining one at $work that is using it. I'm a big fan of axum, because it makes it incredibly easy to create webservices. Nginx is not super hard to configure, but it's also not easy. With these two evaluations in my head, it seemed like a good idea to replace nginx with a server using axum.
This way, I would only need to do a basic server setup (sshd config, fail2ban, etc.), copy the server binary onto the server, place a single service file, and call it a day.

Nolan Lawson ☛ The greatness and limitations of the js-framework-benchmark
I love the js-framework-benchmark. It’s a true open-source success story – a shared benchmark, with contributions from various JavaScript framework authors, widely cited, and used to push the entire JavaScript ecosystem forward. It’s a rare marvel.

Medevel ☛ 12 Powerful Animation Frameworks for React, React Native, and Next.js
Animations are essential in modern web development to create smooth, dynamic, and engaging user experiences. With React, adding animations can become complex if handled manually.
Animation libraries simplify the process by providing easy-to-use APIs, fine-tuned control over animations, and optimized performance, all without overwhelming your codebase.
