NVK is now ready for prime time
I totally agree, and so do the people working on it as well as some of the volunteers who write tutorials.
There's an ongoing effort to create beginner friendly introductory material which was discussed in the recent Vulkanised conference. And an effort to make a better documentation site that's easier to browse than the specification.
On the volunteer front, there's a Vulkan 1.3 -based introductory tutorial (work in progress) over at https://vkguide.dev/
I think there should be a Vulkan tutorial that doesn't start with the boring stuff of initialization and window creation. It's stuff that you write once and forget about, and nothing particularly interesting happens in it.
Looking at my hobby project, excluding the boring stuff (which is reusable), a "hello compute" example is around 100 LOC and a "hello triangle" around 120 LOC. GLSL shader sources included.
Maybe someday I'll get around to writing a "learn Vulkan the hard way" blog post with examples.

What are the best textbooks/resources for learning graphics programming practically in 2023?
Once you're beyond the "introductory" phase, resources become more specialized based on what you'd like to learn -- there are Vulkan tutorials like https://vkguide.dev/ which will teach you the API and also give a bit more insight in how modern GPU hardware is structured, there are books like the "GPU Zen" series that do deep-dives on specific techniques, and there are tons of recorded GDC and SIGGRAPH talks on interesting new techniques. :)

Yuzu Ea 3608 is out!
Personally, I'm a hands on learner who actually wants to use this stuff in my career, so I'd recommend these tutorials: https://learnopengl.com/ https://vulkan-tutorial.com/Overview https://vkguide.dev/

Theory on structuring graphics projects, building interfaces, and designing abstractions?
vkguide teaches some good practices regarding code/renderer structure, but I'm afraid it doesn't go as deep as you'd like. It's certainly deeper than most other tutorials, though.

"reportedly Apple just got absolutely everything they asked for and WebGPU really looks a lot like Metal. But Metal was always reportedly the nicest of the three modern graphics APIs to use, so that's… good?"
https://vkguide.dev/ This is my favorite.

Trying to write a simple example of a synchronization problem in Vulkan
Context: I just want to better understand synchronization, semaphores, barriers, render pass dependencies, etc. I am fairly new to Vulkan but watched this excellent Vulkan Lecture Series (all episodes), took notes, followed the Vulkan Guide tutorials, played with a couple of code examples for post-processing, raytracing and subpasses from this repo in order to practice, etc. In other words, I am a Vulkan newbie, but have started putting the effort to learn.

std::string_view, std::string, char const*, and char const* const*
Also,this guide was better when I ran through Vulkan. Also also the Vulkan C++ wrapper was just pure jank just not worth it, but it was a couple years ago so it could be better now.

Name it Better (ideas for making more informative names)
Here's an example file tree from a part of the Godot game engine source code.

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
Godot [1] is a very nice game engine. There's a game on Itch.io that teaches the scripting language it uses [2], and a ton of great tutorials on YouTube for beginners and experts alike.

Show HN: Mutable.ai – Turn your codebase into a Wiki
The Bitcoin and Mastadon links don't seem to be working! (wiki not found)
Would love to see this for Godot (https://github.com/godotengine/godot). Maybe Maplibre too (https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native)!

My thought on different engines
Godot Engine is a free and open-source game engine. The story started as an in-house engine of an Argentinian studio in 2007, and since 2014, it's been a community-driven project with a lot of contributors.

I want to learn some low level typed language, should I learn Go or Rust?
Fair enough! I’d personally recommend Godot, because it’s FOSS, has a really nice way of doing things (in my opinion), and a language that’s similar enough to Go that when I was first learning Go I’d frequently use terms from GDScript! It’s the kind of think you can learn in a few hours. Give it a shot if you’re just getting into dev!

Can we make games using react native? Im new to this and I just made some to do, and video player apps. So I'm just curious so I can make iOS and playstore apps.
I believe most game developers would rather focus on making the game though, instead of figuring out how to make things work in React Native. In those cases, the best option is to just stick with game engines like Godot.
