The Basics Learn 3D Graphics fundamentals then progress to more complex studies. The idea of 3D graphics has been around since 1961 and has significantly evolved over the years. I’ll walk you through the basics of 3D graphics development. Primary Use Cases Video games and movies Planning real-world architecture Interactive software experiences Modeling reality Learning My primary use case is building interactive software experiences. The following content is tailored with that in mind, but will stay abstract enough to help you learn fundamental concepts....

The Basics The systemctl command on most Linux distributions controls the systemd system and service manager. I’m writing this article to explain systemctl and journalctl. I’ve used the service command in the past, but it has gone out of style. It’s time for an update. Without systems, the systemctl and journalctl commands would not exist.

Introduction Missing context plagues both prose and code. Both writers and programmers have difficulty setting context. I’m guilty of cutting things short in the name of efficiency. I recently presented Structurizr and PlantUML without specifying the context for my team and dove directly to the code & tools....
