Computer graphics is a vast field that is becoming larger every day. It is impossible to cover every topic of interest, even within a specialization such as CG rendering. For many years, Noriko Kurachi has reported on the latest developments for Japanese readers in her monthly column for CG World. Being something of a pioneer herself, she selected topics that represented original and promising new directions for research. Many of these novel ideas are the topics covered in The Magic of Computer Graphics.Starting from the basic behavior of light, the first section of the book introduces the most useful techniques for global and local illumination using geometric descriptions of an environment. The second section goes on to describe image-based techniques that rely on captured data to do their magic. In the final section, the author looks at the synthesis of these two complementary approaches and what they mean for the future of computer graphics.

提昇TypeScript技術的83個具體做法 「Effective TypeScript探討使用TypeScript時最常見的問題，並提出實用的、結果導向的建議。無論你的TypeScript經驗如何，都可以從本書學到一些東西。」 ―Ryan Cavanaugh，微軟TypeScript工程主管 「本書滿載著實用的撇步，專業的TypeScript開發者都應該把這本書放在桌上。即使你認為已經熟悉TypeScript了，買下這本書也絕對不會後悔。」 ―Yakov Fain, Java Champion TypeScript是包含型態的JavaScript超集合，能有效解決許多JavaScript惡名昭彰的問題。然而，TypeScript有自成一格的學習曲線，開發者往往需投入大量時間來實際操作才能有效運用其強大功能。這本實用的書籍採取《Effective C++》與《Effective Java》（皆由Addison-Wesley出版）風糜已久的寫作風格，提出83條具體建議，明確說明哪些做法值得採用、哪些應該避免，以及如何深入理解這門語言的設計思維。 作者Dan Vanderkam將透過實際範例指引你如何實際運用每一項建議。無論你是TypeScript的初學者，還是已掌握基礎知識、希望更進一步的開發者，本書都將協助你晉升為能熟練運用 TypeScript的專家。 第二版內容更新至TypeScript 5.X，並加入了兩個全新章節，深入介紹型態級程式設計與各種進階的 TypeScript技巧。 •學習TypeScript型態系統的運作細節 •使用型態推斷，以最少的型態註記來獲得嚴密的安全性 •設計型態，讓程式碼更安全且更容易瞭解 •使用泛型型態與型態級設計來定義複雜的API •瞭解依賴項目與型態宣告檔案在TypeScript之中如何運作 •將JavaScript程式順利遷移至TypeScript

A bold reinterpretation of economics and history revealing why technology does not inevitably lead to shared prosperity, and how we must redirect innovation in the age of AI to benefit all. A thousand years of history and contemporary evidence make it clear that progress depends on the choices we make about technology. New ways of organizing production and communication can either serve the narrow interests of an elite or become the foundation for widespread prosperity. At no point has this been truer than the crossroads we face today. The transformation of work by digital technologies and AI could make life better for most people, or possibly much worse - depending on the economic, social, and political choices we make. Through powerful, illuminating examples, Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson fundamentally change how we see the world. The wealth generated by technological improvements in agriculture during the European Middle Ages was captured by the nobility and used to build grand c

Whoever controls our memories controls the future.Janelle Monae and an incredible array of talented collaborating creators have written a collection of tales comprising the bold vision and powerful themes that have made Monae such a compelling and celebrated storyteller. Dirty Computer introduced a world in which thoughts - as a means of self-conception - could be controlled or erased by a select few. And whether human, A.I., or other, your life and sentience was dictated by those who'd convinced themselves they had the right to decide your fate.That
