"The virtual worlds in computer games provide a realistic backdrop to the action. But step too close and the effect is lost - you'll see that textures and patterns are usually displayed on flat surfaces that look dull and artificial. A simpler way to add depth to textured surfaces could change that. The new technique can reconstruct the depth of a surface simply by taking two photos of it - one with a flash and one without (see video, right). Merely analysing the resulting shading patterns can capture the surface's 3D texture. Until now making realistic textures required the use of bulky and expensive laser scanners, says Mashhuda Glencross at the University of Manchester, UK. And the process is really time-consuming, she adds." - Michael J. Cohen (mjc) via Bookmarklet

"We present a framework for automatically enhancing videos of a static scene using a few photographs of the same scene. For example, our system can transfer photographic qualities such as high resolution, high dynamic range and better lighting from the photographs to the video. Additionally, the user can quickly modify the video by editing only a few still images of the scene. Finally, our system allows a user to remove unwanted objects and camera shake from the video. These capabilities are enabled by two technical contributions presented in this paper. First, we make several improvements to a state-of-the-art multiview stereo algorithm in order to compute view-dependent depths using video, photographs, and structure-from-motion data. Second, we present a novel image-based rendering algorithm that can re-render the input video using the appearance of the photographs while preserving certain temporal dynamics such as specularities and dynamic scene lighting." - Michael J.

"It is widely accepted that fast-loading pages improve the user experience. In recent years, many sites have started using AJAX techniques to reduce latency. Rather than round-trip through the server retrieving a completely new page with every click, often the browser can either alter the layout of the page instantly or fetch a small amount of HTML, XML, or javascript from the server and alter the existing page. In either case, this significantly decreases the amount of time between a user click and the browser finishing rendering the new content. However, for many sites that reference dozens of external objects, the majority of the page load time is spent in separate HTTP requests for images, javascript, and stylesheets. AJAX probably could help, but speeding up or eliminating these separate HTTP requests might help more, yet there isn't a common body of knowledge about how to do so. While working on optimizing page load times for a high-profile AJAX application, I had a chance to investigate how much I" - Michael J. Cohen (mjc) via Bookmarklet

really neat stuff in here. - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

"This site currently exists to test out usage of the HTML 5 video and audio elements with the Ogg codecs. You'll need a browser that can playback Ogg media using <video> and <audio>. Firefox 3.1 nightly builds, Opera experimental builds and Safari with XiphQT installed can playback videos with varying degrees of success. Support for non-HTML5 compatible browsers may follow to test fallback options. Check back later." - Michael J. Cohen (mjc) via Bookmarklet

"Sometime in December 2008, WordPress version 2.7, will be released to the public. For information on the bug-fixes and enhancements in this version, see Changelog for 2.7. Currently, WordPress version 2.7 Release Candidate 1 is being tested." - Michael J. Cohen (mjc) via Bookmarklet

Playing with the release candidate on MAMP. Very nice work. Haven't found anything weird yet. - Chris Baskind

Need I say more??? - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

will def. watch, thanks! - Mohomed=genieyclo

btw- when I say "aren't really sure what SCMs are supposed to do" this includes things like putting more than one project in a repository. if you use git or any other SCM like this (without using submodules, or svn's analogue, svn:export), you will hurt yourself. - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

Linus _is_ a git! :P - ·[▪_▪]·

damn right he is - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

Can we finally agree on the pronunciation of Linux (Linus' pronunciation wins)? - Jack Carlson

I would actually suggest he use an image gallery of his own first - to prove that they are his own (eg if he must go to court) and crossposting them to deviantart - I think there might be some export scripts. googling, one moment - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

Really, Michael? I never thought of that, thanks! - Mohomed=genieyclo

hah! - Nicholas Kreidberg

No, you have to add it as a blog. Here you go.. http://www.utterli.com/u/rss/g... - Rodfather

Oh...ok, gotcha. Thanks. ;) - Derrick

interesting little app. - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

the numbers are really pretty staggering, even for simple tasks like copying a fresh branch. - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

to paraphrase @jowyang from a moment ago on twitter, "How did we do version control before git?" - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

What the script does * parses your lastFM data * looks for matching tracks in your iTunes library based on Artist/Song * if track found it updates the iTunes play count only if it is less than the last.FM one. Update the last play date too. * if enabled, data can be saved into a csv file - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

there probably are better tools btu someone asked a specific question - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

includes branches so you can do (for example) git checkout -b 5.3 origin/PHP_5_3 - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

mysqlnd is the MySQL Native Driver for PHP. What does this mean? For those who are already very familiar with PHP’s MySQL support, a single sentence should explain it: mysqlnd is a replacement for libmysql, distributed under the terms of the PHP license and tightly integrated into PHP at the C level. This means you no longer need to have MySQL installed on a machine if you merely want to use PHP to access a MySQL server that’s on a different machine. Those of you who would not call yourselves C-level PHP hackers should read on. - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

"A lot of the WordPress lists are going to point out the features you can see or will eventually see. However, that does little for those of us who care about what is under the hood.
