@ilovecomputers Given his tone-deafness, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he is in fact a bit of a nerd...

The alliance between the Christians and the right wing has always seemed to me like an unholy one.

It just doesn't seem credible to me that Jesus would vote conservative. Jesus was a radical progressive.

In America specifically, it also seems exceedingly unlikely that he would love guns and hate gay people. He would take one look at an American megachurch and proceed to disrupt the ceremony, because merchants have occupied God's temple.

Oh man, reading this thread about networking on Hacker News physically hurts. So many geeks saying things like "Getting ahead in life is about meeting people at random, not skills? That doesn't seem like a very good system.

Holy balls, Batman. 3:40 AM? Why am I not in bed? Kids, don't try programming without adult supervision.

I don't think I could ever use VR glasses alone at night. I'm anxious and jumpy enough without blocking my entire vision.

Got occlusion working in my WiFi simulation app.

White: 0 dBm
Yellow: -30 dBm
Green: -60 dBm
Blue: -90 dBm

Gray: Concrete
Beige: Drywall

Okay, I've got the obstruction rendering and the decibel free-space loss formula working in my WiFi coverage simulator.

Next it's time to use flatten-js to find ray intersections, measure how much material the ray passes through, and multiply by the resulting transmission coefficient in order to get occlusion working.

Also, there's about a dozen articles about how "hot" the dad from Inside Out is...

CGI movie animators have this concept of a dad as a guy with dark hair and a moustache.

My dad looks more like a somewhat slimmer and more serious version of Peter Griffin...

@tmy I reckoned it wasn't a simple either/or case. Maybe I'll ignore reflections in the software I'm writing and just handle simple line-of-sight occlusions (ray casting instead of ray tracing).
