Graphics programming analysis done using examples written in WebGL–genius. Hypertext that takes full advantage of the medium. This reminds me of something I'd see on https://pudding.cool/, but it goes far more in depth than anything there. Absolutely fantastic article.

I've been using MSAAx4 in my rendering engine for some time and only recently have considered switching to a FXAA / TAA implementation. I'm actually not sure I'm going to go through with that now. I definitely learned a lot here, and will probably use the analytical approach for UI items, I hadn't heard about that anywhere.

Not often you see graphics-programming stuff on HN. For anyone interested in more graphics write-ups, this list of frame breakdowns is one of my favorite resources:

Steve Wittens also does a lot of these kinds of articles (math with WebGL-infused illustrations, etc.) at https://acko.net/

One of my favorites: https://acko.net/blog/how-to-fold-a-julia-fractal/. This helped me understand the relationship between trigonometric functions and complex numbers like nothing else I've ever seen.
