So your coworkers, presumably health care professionals, refused to accept the most basic public health measure, and expected to keep working, presumably in proximity to vulnerable populations? I hardly think their employer is the unreasona

You might also like "Fluid Engine Development" if this stuff is your cup of tea. I believe there is complete code with it. https://fluidenginedevelopment.org/

The most recent Times Higher Ed world university rankings for Computer Science put Toronto at 17, Waterloo at 23. The QS rankings give Toronto 11, Waterloo 26. You can debate the merit of rankings, but there's simply no credible way to

This is just concern trolling. Obviously all these issues are important to address; simply pointing to another issue does not contribute to solving either of them.

Yes, there is a fair amount of similarly and connection in the underlying mesh data structure. In fact, we published a paper on that aspect of the framework at SIGGRAPH a couple years back, which heavily cites the Surface Evolver work. htt

Thanks! At this point, since this is really the first version of a new and different technique than is typical in graphics, the method is not near real-time. As you suggest, the offline setting is probably the most relevant for now. We are

FWIW, I created this site 7 or 8 years ago during my PhD, just as a way to keep track of and organize all the papers coming out in my research field. Happy to answer questions or comments if you have any.

Agreed, very nice. I've heard the speed issue mentioned as well, although slow compared to what, I wonder? I don't see offhand any fundamental reason why it would be dramatically slower than, say, a standard FLIP-based fluid sim

I'm all for free software making inroads in government and elsewhere. I just wonder if it'd be better off recommending someone a little more, let's say... pragmatic, than Stallman as an advisor.

I would take some of this with a grain of salt; I distrust a religion prof who says academic research needs to solve more practical problems. The main practical problem he's trying to solve is selling more copies of his book.

Phew. For a second there I thought this was going to be about an obscure new Meyers-Briggs category.

As someone pursuing a PhD, I can tell that you that if you say "I'm doing a PhD in computer science" or "I'm doing a PhD in human geography," you still get the follow-up question, "so what exactly are you studying?" It's natural for people
