European CommissionToday is the day. Welcome to THE charger!
USB-C is officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.
This means:
🔌The same charger for all new phones, tablets and cameras
⚡ Harmonised fast-charging technology
🔄 Reduced e-waste
🛑 No more “Sorry, I don’t have the right cable”
One charger to rule them all.

Damn. I feel this; the older I get the more my perception of time is completely wrong.
Yining Karl LiHere's a cool new paper on an energy-preserving version of the Oren-Nayar model for a rough diffuse BRDF. By Jamie Portsmouth, Peter Kutz, and @self_shadow
EON: A practical energy-preserving rough diffuse BRDF
We introduce the "Energy-preserving Oren--Nayar" (EON) model for reflection from rough surfaces. Unlike the popular qualitative Oren--Nayar model (QON) and its variants, our model is energy-preserving via analytical energy compensation. We include self-contained GLSL source code for efficient evaluation of the new model and importance sampling based on a novel technique we term "Clipped Linearly Transformed Cosine" (CLTC) sampling.

Thanks. When I review code changes, I typically want to exclude most of the changes from the things I review.
tired blipTrusting VC-backed open-source software is usually a mistake, seems to be the lesson of the past 8 years.
Fund truly community-driven software that makes its money without VC investment, or treat VC-backed stuff as "closed source timebomb, regardless of what it is currently".
