Project mention: I have a few months to prepare for an interview. Is there a project that would get me at least part of the way there for the interview? | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 2023-01-23
In terms of a project which would be worthwhile, I think building a software rasterizer from scratch is a useful first step. TinyRenderer is a great place to start. Looking at the high level overview of many graphics subjects, ScratchAPixel is a valuable resource. Theres also just great information in some of the rote graphics programming textbooks (Michael Abrash's Black Book fully available online from Jason Gregory, and this book is really interesting). The "RayTracer in a weekend" series is also (seemingly) very illuminating (no pun intended).

Project mention: What are the state of C++ audio, 2D graphics and contract in C++23/26? | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2023-01-08
I thought we were discussing audio and graphics? "Multimedia" is a broad umbrella term that encompasses those things (e.g.: Simple and Fast Multimedia Library, Simple DirectMedia Layer).

Project mention: Ask HN: Is WASM (WebAssembly) getting adoption in real use cases? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-29
Not specially something that you cannot do without WASM but at $WORK we are using a WASM build of Skia [0] to render canvas from nodejs.
Why use WASM ? Because we wanted to stay close to our stack (ie. calling wasm from nodejs). Do it work ? Yes, memory consumption is quite heavy though (each WASM module have its own heap that can quickly grow).
However we are looking to directly use Skia now and avoid the overhead of WASM so i think its a nice solution in the beginning but you might want to ditch it later on.

For some reason, that reminded me of this.

Project mention: Nvidia GPUs don't support VK_KHR_performance_query? | reddit.com/r/vulkan | 2022-12-21
I'm running the official Vulkan samples from Khronos (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples) and I'm surprised that I was getting no GPU stats. Digging a little deeper, it seems 'VK_KHR_performance_query' which the samples use, aren't supported on Nvidia cards which surprises me!

Project mention: Post-mortem of a long-standing bug in video Game Path Of Exile, which was caused by a stale pointer | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2022-06-01
I started in 2001 with OpenSceneGraph which made extensive use of intrusive pointers. This was 10 years before C++11 note. That codebase continues to be relevant and as performing as ever.

VS 2022 has seen a massive increase in performance especially after its move to 64-bit. It lints even the largest headers (ahem, Vulkan-Hpp) in a matter of seconds whereas CLion just chokes and crashes.
