Yes, I feel the same way. I met Andrei once on a Meetup in Munich, basically telling him that he taught me how to think which led to a somewhat awkward conversion. Fun times nonetheless :-)

Isn’t arcball rotation the gold standard for rotating 3d objects?

My rule of thumb for code comments is to comment what's not in the code.

As pointed out in my other comment, using a single image for point coloring is prone to errors due to noise, specular reflection and occlusion. I'd consider using a (normalized) cross-correlation approach with several images.

I did work on this as part of my thesis quite a few years back at the university. One other optimization would be to process the points in parallel. Regarding the coloring of each 3d point, it might be feasible to not use one camera image,

Interesting, my first interpretation was letters for rows and numbers for columns, but apparently you noted it the other way around.

Judging from the table of contents it seems that the first half of this book covers basic CS stuff (what is an algorithm, Big O notation, sorting and searching, data structures etc) and then discusses some machine learning basics before loo

I happen to know the guy from the linked article from several meetups here in Germany and while I stick to the old saying that if you don't have anything nice to say about a person it's better to say nothing at all, I just want to

I have switched to Operator Mono about 10 years ago. This font is not free though. However it was the only font (at the time I was looking at at least) that had a monospaced italic version which I found looked slick. So I ended up buying th

I happen to have read her book on Cracking the Coding Interview which I found was a nice refresher for interview-type like questions. She writes: > And for all of this I still blunder my way through an exercise to write a function which

I did something similar over a decade ago as part of my master thesis back in university [1]. IIRC this was before most of the tools existed that were mentioned in the article. If you don’t have anything else other than a camera at hand (an

I understand the criticism alongside _if you know one, two programming languages, then you know it all_. However, what seems to be overlooked at times is that there are different categories of programming languages, where your experience

My point exactly was that I don't even necessarily disagree with his opinion. However, I would not trust anything he's writing either because of his bias. And with bias I mean the same bias a mother may has to her child if it&#x27

I still cannot fathom how one can take anything seriously when it comes to the author talking about Apple, given his biased opinion regardless. Maybe it's just this irrational and unconditional excitement. In any case my mind just has

Why did the pins stay in place once they have been pushed into the correct position with the lockpick in the first example (for the old regular lock). I didn’t understand that and would assume that those pins fall back down once the lockpic
