Shaders have long been on the list of possible subject to study for Jappie. The potential of both creating beautiful art as well as doing parallel processing seem incredible valuable capabilities to have. This post comments on the effort of porting a JavaScript WebGL fire to an

Working at Daisee, Jappie uses a lot of Haskell programming. Although Haskell is obviously as amazing as the stereotype asserts, the tooling can be a bit challenging. In this blogpost we explore these challenges.

One’s understanding start with the fact that there is not one unified

Yesterday the Reddit Poster plugin for pelican was finished. This is an initial step towards providing Reddit integration with pelican.
