Subdivision surfaces as implemented in RenderMan have been a thorny issue in VFX for many years. Most production facilities wind up implementing their own version of subdivision surfaces for other production tools, but still rely on Pixar's

If the top 0.1% do indeed manage to destroy the US economy, and, say, China becomes the preeminent economic superpower, does anybody happen to know if China's financial system would be able to resist the same sort of abuse? (If, indeed, it'

But that world does still exist: I often find myself ssh'd into a desktop tmux session, via my laptop tethered to my phone's internet connection. In that situation, I am highly appreciative of vi's 300 baud history.

It's great to see examples where code can be side-stepped in favour of a quick-n-dirty, 'designer'-type solution - different ways of thinking about the problem. I have fond memories of my first years in the VFX industry being made a fool of

Hey! That's exactly how my jQuery code looks! I think I just got seduced by all the closurey goodness that comes with Javascript (my day-job languages don't let me do that.) I'm not going to ask how to write good code, but I think this is a

True, I'm thinking more of the dullards who might go from squeezing out more kids so they can collect the welfare, to squeezing out disabled kids in the hope of a bigger payout. It's perverse, but it's hardly as if the first case is rare. I

They should, and I imagine they do, have enough support to ensure the children are clothed, fed, schooled and enjoy a minimum standard of living. However, incentivizing childhood disability opens up a whole new and rather dangerous gray are

It's surprising how the disease crept up on him despite the annual checks. One of the benefits I imagine successful executives must have would be super-duper, executive-level healthcare. All the check-ups and screenings the rest of us miss

What's the point of having it if you don't enjoy it? This article doesn't seem to do justice to those who: - have enough savings on hand to cover a few months' living expenses - have a sensibly invested pension plan - spend their surplus ca

Seems quiet in here... The trouble is, side projects go unfinished and become dormant, but they never really die - they haven't been born yet.

The scariest thing about that video is how easily they refer to Soylent as 'it', as in 'it cuts down your text', 'it fixes grammar errors', even though when Soylent is in use it's clearly a 'they'. Or perhaps that distinction is as nonsensi

Why do you want to be good at programming? You'll only get there if you are driven by your intrinsic interest in the problems you are trying to solve. Becoming a 'rock star' is a side effect, not an end goal. The way you've phrased your que
