Did Germany experience rapid industrial expansion in the 19th century due to an absence of copyright law? A German historian argues that the massive proliferation of books, and thus knowledge, laid the foundation for the country's industrial might.
I’m sort of obsessed about iteration speed. I’ve written about this in the past and it deserves more posts in the future, but the quick summary is that iteration speed is always going to be the strongest competitive advantage in this industry. There’s of course many ways we can iterate faster, but for today let’s focus on two particular aspects of it: testing and deploying more often.
For something that we spend a third of our lives doing (if we’re lucky), sleep is something that we know relatively little about. “Sleep is actually a relatively recent discovery,” says Daniel Gartenberg, a sleep scientist who is currently an assistant adjunct professor in biobehavioral health at Penn State. “Scientists only started looking at sleep...
This is an undergraduate textbook suitable for linear algebra courses. This is the only textbook that develops the linear algebra hand-in-hand with the geometry of linear (or affine) spaces in such a way that the understanding of each reinforces the other. The text is divided into two parts: Part I
In January of 2013, some nice folks at Intel released a Software Occlusion Culling demo with full source code. I spent about two weekends playing around with the code, and after realizing that it made a great example for various things I'd been meaning to write about for a long time, started churning out blog…
This post is part of a series - go here for the index. Welcome back! The previous post gave us a lot of theoretical groundwork on triangles. This time, let's turn it into a working triangle rasterizer. Again, no profiling or optimization this time, but there will be code, and it should get us set…
libfive is a software library and set of tools for solid modeling, especially suited for parametric and procedural design. It is infrastructure for generative design, mass customization, and domain-specific CAD tools.
