On @PixiJS's Discord this morning, a dev was having an issue with how to use HTMLText with Renderer's Extract functions (image, base64, etc). There are some gotchas because HTMLText is rendered async. Here's an example how to do it: jsfiddle.net/bigtimebuddy/v9…

Fun npm bug I found today: github.com/npm/cli/issues/70… Two identical packages, both made of 60K files and the same download size, but one is a flat list the other is nested in various folders. Install time is 5s (flat) vs 85s (nested). Yarn showed a smaller delta. Any thoughts why?

[BUG] Performance issue installing packages with large number of Folders · Issue #7080 · npm/cli

Is there an existing issue for this? I have searched the existing issues This issue exists in the latest npm version I am using the latest npm Current Behavior We have a large package (~75K files) ...

Adobe’s dev experience is garbage. Decades of poor docs, outdated examples, changing terminology every few years (CEP, CXCS), searching random forums, half-baked publish tools (exchange, developer console), bad CLI and debugging experience, horrible ES3 runtime.

Aside: AE needs an overhaul. Text layout and vector rendering are so dated when compared to more contemporary software. Preview render is sluggish and ugly. Interoperability stinks for anything other than PS. There has to be a startup disrupting this software somewhere??

By contrast, Figma’s dev experience is a delight. Complete docs, good examples, paved path tools, sane extension format, modern runtime. I wish publishing was more automated, but it’s solid. Now that they own it, Adobe should throw everything away from CC and copy Figma. Please!

A new feature of @PixiJS v7 is that I'm excited about is support for Web Workers. Here's an example: github.com/bigtimebuddy/pixi… Lots of performance opportunities here. I'd likely use this for Electron apps to not slow React/DOM rendering.

My spouse is looking for a new job. She has a PhD in chemical oceanography from MIT, has worked in environmental consulting and most recently in safer consumer products regulation at CA EPA. She's skilled in R, SQL and Tableau and analytical data and incredibly hard-working (1/3)

She's deeply motivated by a company or team that is mission-driven. She cares a lot about the negative impacts of industrial chemistry and its relationship to racial and environmental justice. She's the most thoughtful and talented written communicator I know. (2/3)

As someone who's use Adobe software for 2 decades, what the uninitiated don't understand is that Adobe is the Comcast for professional designers: bloated bundling of services, overpriced, giving users things they didn't ask for, no alternatives, and unresponsive to real needs.

Keep your dirty CEP hands off Figma
Looking for some dancing ants in @PixiJS? The project get this request sometimes and it doesn't have anything built in, so I built a demo using TilingSprite objects. jsfiddle.net/bigtimebuddy/e1…

I've been working with @hypermatic over the last month to request more features in their Convertify plugin for @figma. Adam has been incredibly responsive to our needs. Highly recommend this company and their products.
