Making a javascript skybox generator to use in videogames. These skies are all made with JavaScript algorithms. Largely maths and gradients and ovals. #indiedev #gamedev #javascript
A proper launch post incoming, but I'm done - the documentation site is up and the files are on Codeberg. QJERG is in the wild now! 😁
This is my #Javascript game engine for making #retro style chunky #pixel games. It'll probably always be a WIP - scaling, rotating, and raycasting is still to come for a start - but it's totally usable in it's current state.
Genuinely hope at least one person at least starts making an at least half baked idea of a game in this thing! 🤞
Backstage access: an unauthenticated SQL injection in Front Gate Tickets
In #SQL it is possible to retrieve all data from a data store by telling the query engine to select *, where * is shorthand for everything. This is harmful not just because it slows down processing compared to selecting exactly what you need, but also because some query engines fail to update dependencies automatically. So if your greedy query depends on a specific one which then removes a field, yours will fail to run until you recreate it.
"select *" considered harmful.

A classic case of "compliance =/= usability"
Technically, this 10.25 contrast ratio sails past WCAG AAA. But to the human eye, it remains a bit of a chore to read.
Well to me, at least. Standard WCAG 2.x math evaluates relative luminance of flat colors as kind of a proxy for legibility. It doesn't account for spatial frequency, i.e. the actual stroke width of the font. At 13/14px, a monospaced font like JetBrains Mono has very thin strokes, meaning we might require much higher perceptual contrast than a thicker sans-serif to read it comfortably. Not to forget there's a background image to the page which further obscures the text by overpowering it further down.
Recently read about the WCAG 3 APCA (advanced perceptual contrast algorithm) and it's very interesting. It factors in font size, weight considers the context in which colors are used to determine their readability.
How are you handling the compliance versus reality gap in your dark mode designs lately?

Anti-vaccine changes under RFK Jr. will hurt vulnerable toddlers, study confirms
The children who get a combination shot are some of the most vulnerable.

720,000 people left the U.S. labor force last month.
This pushes the labor force participation rate down to 61.5%, its lowest level since 1976 (outside of the pandemic).
The biggest drop came from prime-age workers, aged 25 to 54.
These are peak working and earning years.
That deserves more attention than it's getting.
