HTML is Dead, Long Live HTML — Acko.net
Reinventing the DOM to ditch all legacy baggage could coincide with redesigning it for a more multi-threaded, multi-origin, and async web. The browser engines are already multi-process… what did they learn? A lot has happened since Netscape, with advances in structured concurrency, ownership semantics, FP effects… all could come in handy here.

3D tracking will never be the same for me again… (COLMAP workflow) – YouTube

This tutorial covers the entire process from downloading the necessary tools (COLMAP, FFmpeg and a custom script I’ve put together) to importing the final animated camera and scene data directly into Blender.
