What makes for good animation?
In the beginning there was … That’s how things start, right? And in the beginning there were punch cards. The UI was rudimentary direct machine language, so we could say there was no UI. So let there be light! In very simplistic terms that was a screen where one could type text (using a keyboard) and […]

And they all have the same solution: std::enable_if, […]
