The sensation of being governed by a digital system (measured by it, priced by it, recognized by it over months) is the same phenomenon at longer exposure, and it gets even less credit.

🚀 Discover this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Today I want to talk about my journey writing a 3D software renderer for the Playdate.
At the beginning, I didn't have any performance baseline. I had no idea how feasible my idea was, so I started with a simple test: a raycaster.
I had written one many years ago, based on the code examples from Ken Silverman's webpage, and since then it has basically become what I write whenever I want to test the 3D processing power and screen drawing performance of a low-power device.

💥 Explore this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: This is my WIP fork of Bun, based on the last commit before their Rust rewrite. It is still very early in its development and is nowhere near ready for production. I saw that a similar project had already been posted on Ziggit, so I am posting mine to avoid duplicating any development effort, though I have not looked at the other project as of this writing. I have ported Bun to build with the current upstream Zig (with minor patches to get incremental rebuilds…
