@omar,
I wonder if there is a shared error of MS/Apple seeing the success of the iOS and Android app stores and thinking they can just copy that model onto desktop Windows/macOS

@omar,
Hmm it looks like some sort of fascist flag
![Measure program geometry. Now we need to tell Folk the exact geometry of an average program page how big is
the tag in each program? how far is the tag from the edges of the sheet of paper?).
Print a program that outlines itself, if you don't have one already. Fold the program in half if you want half-height programs. Measure the inner tag side
length and tag distances to the edges of the sheet:

@omar,
Debugging 3D calibration... had weird issues where it produced homographies with det(H) < 0 which totally messed up the rotation and translation (you'd have a couple calibration poses that have z < 0, so 'behind the camera' or 'behind the projector' and reflected, which I guess makes mathematical sense but not physical sense lol). I just set H = -H and then it fixed everything

@omar,
All computer vision stuff is like
Step 1. Do some linear algebra that makes logical sense, uses a rational scientific model of how we believe the world works, looks reasonable
Step 2. The result of Step 1 is basically garbage. Feed it into a nonlinear optimizer to make it actually good
