How does one effectively use these kind of services (eg. I use org roam)? There are several ways to record the data, but the process is really somewhat difficult. Do we create a routine where each day after work, we go through what we have

The entire ray tracing in one weekend[1] series is really good book for getting into computer graphics. It covers a simple implementation of path tracer and getting the image is really satisfying! Modern hardware and light simulation makes

I tested the HQU. It definitely is powerful enough to bring various emotions within the visitor. At first there was rage, then silence followed by smile and realization. It felt refreshing. Finally, I could understand how it transcended to

Insider fact on why this makes sense. The intention here is not to make "physics based" because we are approximating a lot of things. The idea of having it named "physically based" is because it is as close it can get to

Totally, you can do it. But the book is so huge that you will miss most of the details. However, you can use it as reference. First follow the ray tracing in one weekend to get the overall idea of path tracing. Then you can start with PBRT.

I am eagerly waiting to buy one. I am extremely lucky that I took stellar graphics courses during my university years. These have by far been the most awesome things that I have done in computer science. The high one can get from having a g

Without any disclaimer, can you hint on the topic you studied on your own? I am quite curious about it! Thank you!!

This feeling hits home! This may sound very cliche, but one conversation with my dad changed my entire view of life. In that conversation when I questioned him how he was so happy, he replied that he had never expected anything out of life.

This. Doing things you want to do just because you enjoy learning it. I didn't realize that I liked making irrelevant things (out of date tech, some idiosyncratic language etc.), until I started making one! It may seem like I am workin

There is this video of Steve job's quoting, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." [0] That one hits me the most. To steal an idea you really have to understand it and find ways to integrate into the system and design. Cop

Yup, search is terrible when looking up for very specific/ niche topics. It only works as a fact machine now. For example search for "Who is the father of the president of USA?" I think majority of this problem arises from ac

This is very much like me. Going through same process until it gets into the head. However, I feel like I need to remember some fundamentals every now and then. As time passes, our brain can barely hold enough information. I do not want to

I don't know if I have ever learnt anything or not and at this point I just know that no matter what I do, I am never enough. I have a knowledge base of concepts and mostly importantly where to find these concepts. I sometimes wished I

You hit the nail with this one. All these productivity hacks or tools misses the crucial point. _Human psychology_. Sure, it is fun to have these, but at the end of the day the users require discipline to execute them. Nothing beats getting

That would be nice! Despite being a CS major, I get so much information from Hackernews on implementation, hacks, industries, motivation. So I believe sites like these would definitely help newcomers get into a completely disparate interest

It is really interesting to see how these are tangled together! One simple experiment you can do is, think of a cup then a image pops up. That image will likely be the image of recently used cup or something you cherished deeply. Now after

They asked the fundamentals that is necessary in the field. I applied for junior role and most of the junior role ask for leetcoding. But here, I was asked the concepts and understanding of the domain! Very rare to have such interviews...

Short story: I was lost during the early college days. I already had the book in my home for a while and decided to go through it. Once I finished it, I adopted some of the ideas from the book. Immediately, I realized how powerful the conce

Thanks for the awesome post! Really insightful. Most people in the tech hypes about US. Is it really worth as the hype to go through all these burdens and immigration process? Does it really make a difference being somewhere else (for eg. F

I used one of the variants of the Nokia 100s model for 3 years. (2017 - 2020). After using these dumb phones my habit changed and I don't exclusively rely on my phone anymore. Even though I have a smartphone now, it is practically usel

I think that pineapple topping on the pizza meme is designed by pizza elitist to fool normal people from trying it out. Once you try pizza with pineapple toppings, it gives this extraordinary taste. Sweet, sour and salty. All at same time!

Nobody writes it, but it's okay to have average job, with average life and average family as long as you can enjoy your life! Why burden yourself with idea of success and setting expectations. At this point I am sure life doesn't
