It can be both art and programming! Here's a paper showing how programmers work with artists to develop the classic TF2 half lambert [0]. This shader also makes use of an efficient method for representing diffuse environmental contributions using low order contributions on a spherical harmonic basis which is similar to techniques from quantum mechanics [1].

damn, I haven't played Team Fortress in so long lol. This is a cool thread, I'm going to have to Bookmark this so I can always come back to it for foundational inspiration and as a reference key for doing artwork.
Really admirable, that is for sure. I am excited.
I wonder if teachers in Japan really discourage girls from learning about computer science and other things like that.
If so, that is crazy. I think there should be an issue with that. I guess it will be interesting to imagine Japan as a women-oriented society.

The correct response to these sorts of actions by law enforcement is for individuals to collaborate in a legal manner to collect intelligence on law enforcement and share it on the internet.
If we must live in a world with surveillance than the burden of surveillance must be carried by all.

Although I agree with equal rights for men and women, I think that she is disregarding the fact that all types of people are being hurt by this.

Stupid article. African-American is the best term to use. How can you use the term 'Black' and then refer to someone who is the same color if not darker and call them Indian or Latino/Latinx/Hispanic.
Also I agree with Coldtea^^^

Basically the paper argues that we should practice extraterrestrial jurisdiction over extraterrestrial sovereignty, the former allows private companies to claim space, the latter basically gives the UN power over the entire galaxy.
the writer says that eventually these private companies who invest in space exploration will profit highly (possibly) because the amount of resources in outer space. One asteroid may hold more platinum metals than ever before mined in the history of the earth, and eventually they will grow tired of following the rules of the governments on earth and start their own system.
