 ![](https://m.stacker.news/107906) Are you shipping textures to players as PNGs? The goal of this post is to convince you that this is suboptimal, and walk you through a better approach. I’ll also share my implementation of the suggested approach, but if you’d rather do it yourself I’ll also provide you with the information you need to get started. If you’re using a game engine, it is almost certainly doing what this post suggests automatically, but it doesn’t hurt to double check!

 ![](https://m.stacker.news/107904) Design Operations is all about helping designers do the best work of their lives. Our job is to clear the path so designers can focus on what they do best: design. At many tech companies, you’ll find a more traditional embedded model—one Design Program Manager (DPM) per major product area. But in a lean team environment, our small but mighty Design Ops team has shifted toward a model built for scale, speed, and strategic impact. Why? Because in today’s tech landscape where business impact is under a microscope and resources are finite, we’ve learned that making a big impact means working smarter. Whether you’re running Design Ops at a startup, navigating a reorg, or simply operating with fewer hands on deck, here’s how we drive meaningful impact across business, people, and product.

Unearthing Europe’s forgotten interwar letterforms

 ![](https://m.stacker.news/107764) Europe’s rich tradition of architectural lettering remains largely untapped by the type design world, with only fragments adapted for contemporary use. Paula Mastrangelo and Ramiro Espinoza recognised this gap when they launched Brutal Types in 2024 – a foundry dedicated exclusively to display typefaces inspired by the experimental alphabets of Europe’s interwar period. Rather than reviving the same well-documented examples found in graphic design history books, the duo embarks on extensive fieldwork, walking and cycling through Dutch cities to capture forgotten letterforms on building façades, tombstones and vintage book covers. Their systematic approach to documentation and revival has uncovered genuinely overlooked material from architects, artisans and anonymous designers of the 1920s and 1930s, creating a growing collection that offers access to character-rich typefaces with authentic historical roots. ![](https://m.stacker.news/107765) ![](https://m.stacker.news/107766) ![](https://m.stacker.news/107767) ![](https://m.stacker.news/107768) ![](https://m.stacker.news/107769)

The Trust Quotient (TQ)
The Technium
The Trust Quotient (TQ)
Wherever there is autonomy, trust must follow. If we raise children to go off on their own, they need to be autonomous and we need to trust them. (...
 ![](https://m.stacker.news/107763) Applicable research in trust follows two directions: understanding better how humans trust each other, and applying some of those principles in an abstract way into mechanical systems. Technologists have already created primitive trust systems to manage the security of data clouds and communications. For instance, should this device be allowed to connect? Can it be trusted to do what it claims it can do? How do we verify its identity, and its behavior? And so on.

The matrix. Not that one, a 2x2 matrix for wallets
#127 The matrix
Not that one.
 @gbks has been trying to think of a way to be better categorize all the projects supported by the Bitcoin Design Community, now listed in the latest [5th year anniversary website](https://stacker.news/items/1085590/r/deSign_r). ![](https://m.stacker.news/107655) A simple 2x2 matrix for wallets gives us a simple framework where we can see where different projects we know, or use cases we find important, fit. Within each cell, we could also think of a few specializations. Let’s see what that might look like. ![](https://m.stacker.news/107656) A project can now say, for example, that they want to serve mobile payments use cases for power users, with a focus on security. There are still some vague words in there, like the elusive “power user”, but it narrows it pretty well already and can pinpoint the project in the larger landscape.

The first screen based interfaces combined the input and output into the same UI element, with a line at the bottom with a specific character set that prompted you for a command. And there were a bewildering array of command prompts, which reflected the kind of heterogenous design environment which is a hallmark of any early period of technology, from pre-smartphone cellphones to commercial aircraft before the jet age.

Superdiamonds with predicted hexagonal crystal structure https://phys.org/news/2025-08-scientists-superdiamonds-theoretically-hexagonal-crystal.html It's common to behave diamonds have value, even when they are made in a lab at a fractional cost? ![](https://m.stacker.news/107508) In a study published in Nature, researchers from China synthesized bulk hexagonal diamond, ranging from 100-µm-sized to mm-sized, with a highly ordered structure by compressing and heating high-quality graphite single crystals under pressure conditions as uniform as possible. The designed material, which was recoverable under ambient conditions, unveiled the previously elusive structural world of HD, opening new avenues for exploring its potential as a technologically superior material. Apart from being a dazzling element in jewelry, diamonds, due to their unmatched chemical and physical properties, are sought after in a wide range of applications, including biosensors, quantum computing, and industrial processes as superabrasives and drilling bits.

On Dashes, A.I., and Screen Readers - Vispero
Em dash, en dash, hyphen, minus symbol - what do they have to do with A.I. and how do screen readers treat them?
 ![](https://m.stacker.news/107507) This post was prompted by some discussion at TPGi about the use of em dash punctuation, on two fronts: - Is the use of the em dash making our posts look like they were generated by A.I.? - How do screen readers convey em dashes? **TL;DR:** - An em dash (or long dash) separates two thoughts or concepts. - An en dash (or dash) joins two thoughts or concepts. - A hyphen joins two words to form one word or represents a break in a word. - A minus symbol subtracts one mathematical value from another, or identifies a negative number. - Using the correct HTML entity is better for screen readers. - A.I. is not a good reason to change punctuation practice. Since there are no hard and fast rules on their use that affect meaning, and the most authoritative references agree to disagree on which dash to use — or even whether to use one at all — you could say, 1-10, this is all a bit of a storm in a tea–cup — or teacup.

The 100x Payback.
Why advising and investing can supercharge your craft, network, and perspective.
 > _The more I deep-dived into other people’s products, the sharper I became at my own craft._ > <sub>–Julien Martin</sub> ![](https://m.stacker.news/107387) Here is what my process on how I got started: 1. Asked around to colleagues, friends and VCs to send me some company names that would be willing to get some product design feedback from me. 2. Started capturing ideas, and sometimes mockups and prototypes in a Notion doc. Because I was lacking context and didn’t have any “big picture” history of vision of what I was providing feedback to, it was very naive. Which is the whole important, and which is also why it’s very valuable. 3. I mainly focused on where my core skills were. Providing feedback on a key feature. Suggesting new ones. Giving feedback on the look and feel. 4. I sent those Notion docs to the company founders. Without any expectations. Some replied, thrilled to jump on a call. I’m still talking to some of them, four years later. Others ghosted me. Either way, it was practice.
