[Playbit] We are looking to hire a contractor to help us with implementing Vulkan and WebGPU/Dawn on Linux DRM

https://playb.it/careers/linux-gpu-contract.html

Playbit uses a resolution independent UI and we are thinking about how to represent UI graphics (think: icons) for the computer.

A key challenge with truly resolution-independent graphics is how to maintain sharpness (pixel alignment) where necessary (like a border or ruler) while at the same time keep the general shape & identity of a graphic.

Is there a vector image format out there that fits the bill? Ideally we would use an existing format rather than inventing our own.

Any ideas?

Inter version 4.0 → https://rsms.me/inter/

After two years of work on a new version of Inter, I'm so proud that it's finally released. (It's been in beta for the past year)

The changes are vast. Most notably there are six additional "Display" designs for large delicious type

Gave Compis some attention this weekend, giving it Python-style whitespace indentation. It’s pretty neat as it’s done completely at lexeme time, ie the “source text scanner” synthesizes “{“ and “}” tokens as the indentation rises and falls. As a result it’s both very regular (predictable) and easy to disable (in the scanner, without having to change any other code.)

But is Python-style WS-sensitive structuring ultimately a good idea..?
