The nice thing about Linux is that there’s a DE or WM for everyone. Personally I can’t imagine running a whole desktop environment when all I want is to draw some windows and a status bar. But, to each their own!
A good chunk of early science was basically funded by nobility sponsoring scientists as sort of… conversation pieces, basically, right? I’m not sure if that gig is still available.
One could argue all science is still funded that way. My team is funded by a philanthrophist. NSF "royalty" re-distributes the peasant's taxes to do science. Etc.
This is pretty cool, and also seems pretty accessible for a “graphics thing.” Just a little calculus.
It would be kind of neat to have an example of a physical situation that produces each of the example functions (although I’m sure that isn’t always possible).
Can the effect of multiple fog emitters reasonably be modeled as the sum of their outputs? I guess for high densities, probably not (eventually the air will get saturated), but for low densities, probably yes…
For simple models (constant incoming radiance), you can indeed just add the optical depths from the different fog 'layers'. (90% sure but the maths is easy to check anyway, see https://forwardscattering.org/post/72)
There’s a decent chance the national parks will still be there in a couple years anyway.
Well, I guess, they might have been auctioned off to some billionaire at that point so… the tickets will probably be pricier but the facilities should be shiny and new.
If they choose to open them to the public, that is. Hopefully that billionaire doesn't just open it to their friends and us commoners don't get to use it.
Everyone should just use something like DarkReader to make these problems go away. Web devs who fiddle with the colors are annoying, but at least they are easy to ignore.
