In my previous three posts, I have developed a simple WebGL application using react-three-fiber and three.js. In this post, I am adding texture loading and proper lighting to the application. For reference, here the links to the previous versions of the app: * Version 1: Just being able to drag

I have recently been working on small example application using three.js and react-three-fiber. In the first two iterations, I first developed a simple draggable shape floating in space and then supported multiple shapes that can be moved on a physical plane. In this post, I am going to be

Following up from my article published a few days ago, I have now extended and improved the simple WebGL application that I originally developed using Three.js and react-three-fiber. Version 1 of the application allowed dragging a simple shape around on the screen: App: https://react-three-fiber-draggable.surge.sh/ Source Code:

I recently became interested how to render 3D graphics in the browser. I think WebGL is an extremely powerful technology and may one day become an important way of rendering content on the web. There are various frameworks and tools available to use WebGL such as Babylon.js and three.

I recently read the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. One of the interesting ideas presented in this book was that in order to bring about personal change, we need to start with our identity, then change our practices and processes and thus achieve better outcomes; as in, I am

In life, things are bound to happen to us. Sometimes they are caused by our actions or inaction but, more often than not, things just happen for no apparent reason. I believe that how we think about the latter affects our well-being tremendously. Given that seemingly random events play such

As written before, I have adopted a new system for tracking my habits. This primarily involves keeping track of whether or not I am getting to do certain activities in a day or not and recording this in a simple table. I have already reported my success in tracking my

I have recently been asked what goals I have for my life. I think I am someone who deeply cares about leading a purposeful life and the very purpose of this blog is finding such. However, I don't think I have recently articulated what my life goals are
biology
It is obvious that there are a number of fundamental differences between humans and other animals on this planet. Humans have a language whose complexity goes far beyond ways in which animals communicate. We have writing. We use very sophisticated tools. We live in large groups made out of individuals

Given that there does not appear to be a way open to us to determine what the purpose of life is, and therefore no way to know what is ultimately good and bad, it is only natural that there is some disagreement among us what it means to live a

I have previously posted about a new system I have adopted for tracking my habits. In the month of July, I think I did reasonably well in sticking to the habits I have set out to adopt. My system is designed to make it easy to enter data (simply use

I think it is usually better to focus on positive things, on how good things could be, instead of how bad they are or how bad they may turn out. But, notwithstanding this preference, I also think it is necessary to discuss a few key properties of nature and human
