    While I don't have a problem with this in theory, wouldn't someone already have to have your password in order to sign in?   I'm not sure how switching to the email address makes it any more secure, unless you're going to set up an option for 2FA.

    Here is the explanation from the makers of the forum software...

  2. Hey @Jason Simonds,

    I just tried logging in with my email address (it's already an option) and it doesn't work.

    When that gets sorted out I recommend that some very visible alert to the change be added to the standard sign in screen. I think most people will not notice the mere absence of "Display Name" in this box.

  3. Remember that annoying kid in "Temple of Doom"? He's an Oscar nominated actor now!
     

    Quote


    “Everything Everywhere” represents a major career comeback for [Ke Huy] Quan, who rose to fame as a child actor in films like “The Goonies” and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” but quit acting for decades when he found roles for an Asian actor hard to come by. While watching “Crazy Rich Asians” in 2018, Quan began to mull a return, and two weeks after asking an agent friend to represent him, he was sent “Everything Everywhere” and went out on his first audition in years.

  4. We are still open to people wanting to try C++.

    We have potentially three eager-to-start-C++-ers so far.

    The basic plan of the course is this...

    • There is free Udemy course with videos (10-20 minutes) for each lesson and a small programming project associated with the new thing taught in that video
    • You watch the video. Probably re-watch it.
    • You code the program
    • You bring your finished program to our meeting. If it runs, great! You can show us what you did that was creative or unusual. If it doesn't run. we look at it to figure out what went wrong and get you back on track for the next lesson.
  5. I get ads on Facebook for AI noise reduction programs.

    I tried one on A:M Radiosity renders which have noticeable noise (speckling). It's pretty good. Better than Photoshop noise reduction.

    You'll need to click on them to see it at 100% to see the original noise clearly.

    Notice the loss of reflection detail in the wheel...

  6. I recall when radiosity renders took hours. Now it's a few minutes.

    I dropped some old models from the AM CD into my tiny house room lit with radiosity. All the lighting is just that one bulb light near the ceiling.

    Space Marine. Something about the surface specularity on this model and the previous one is causing the conspicuous bright spots in the room ( I think).

    Is that Slugworth from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the newspaper there?   Sure looks like him.

    Different actor, different century.

    Wilfrid Brambell seems to have already been a well-known TV actor in Britain by 1964 but outside of the UK he's just "that guy in 'A Hard Day's Night'"

    According to Wiki he starred in a Broadway play that closed after one performance. Ouch. :D
