"Opalgate": The Opal Ruby-to-JS compiler project adopted a Code of Conduct explicitly refusing to act on issues like #Coraline Ada opened the famous #public-shaming issue about, entitled “Transphobic maintainer should be removed from project”, in which Elia Schito posted things on his personal Twitter about #transgender children.
“FlatCam: Thin, Bare-Sensor Cameras using Coded Aperture and Computation” FlatCam is a thin form-factor lensless camera that consists of a coded mask placed on top of a bare, conventional sensor array. Unlike a traditional, lens-based camera where an image of the scene is directly recorded on the sensor pixels, each pixel in FlatCam records a linear combination of light from multiple scene elements. A computational algorithm is then used to demultiplex the recorded measurements and reconstruct an image of the scene. FlatCam is an instance of a coded aperture imaging system; however, unlike the vast majority of related work, we place the coded mask extremely close to the image sensor that can enable a thin system. We employ a separable mask to ensure that both calibration and image reconstruction are scalable in terms of memory requirements and computational complexity. We demonstrate the potential of the FlatCam design using two prototypes: one at visible wavelengths and one at infrared wavelengths. #DSP #hardware #sensors #cameras #compressed-sensing
Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton want to reduce #free-speech on the internet. “Somebody will say, ‘Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech,’” he added, dismissing the objection with an arm wave. “These are foolish people.”
