The first 27 months of the programme will be dedicated to understanding the science behind ripples in both the ionosphere and the electrically neutral atmosphere below it, and then building computer simulations of what is going on. These will be tested to see if they can replicate accurately effects seen in the past.

Once the team have a better understanding of the basic science, they will proceed to the second stage: field trials. This will involve three tests at three-month intervals in which researchers attempt to locate pertinent events, such as storm cells, mining operations and earthquakes. If that works, the project will then move on to matters of military interest by spying on missile launches, tracking aircraft and even watching underground bunkers being dug. The result, if all goes well, may be the world’s first true panopticon.

Hopefully they spend more time on the atmospheric stuff than the military stuff. Exciting news, if the former.

Understanding the basics of shaders has been helpful for some audio-visual tchotchkes that I have enjoyed building. Hope to learn more, over time. And I'd really love to see more of the chapters that are planned, but unavailable.

Is there a changelog that will tell us what parts of the book were updated and when they were updated?

edit – it's all on GitHub, which is also helpful given how slow the Book of Shaders website is right now: https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/thebookofshaders

I am not an org mode user, but I've heard people gush over it.

Also agreed, much better link.

I'm a Logic user who creates modern sample-based music at a pretty rapid clip. The Quick Sampler here is pretty much perfect and it's what anyone would expect in 2020 – a tremendous replacement for EXS24.

This was a long time coming and (IMO) makes Logic almost a no-brainer for a lot of people who make music.

I'd love to be able to write some SQL and pipe to CSV or directly to a tool that will just spit out a PNG or SVG that has the data plotted.

Is gnuplot (http://www.gnuplot.info) the thing for this?

Is it this one, or another?

Didn’t play for me either on this device, but I wasn’t surprised given previous experience.

Has anyone else had this experience?
