The problem with plastics is that they encompass such huge range of materials that you can't really make any reasonable generalizations for them. The most you can say is that they are mostly hydrocarbon based, which is almost completel

One of those things that to me is frustrating is how there is no clear unambiguous definition of what is correct in font rendering. Presumably typeface designers have some specific intent on how heavy strokes and stems are, but then that so

That Zimmermann paper is far more useful than the article. Notably LLVM libm is correctly rounded for most single precision ops. Notable omission are crlibm/rlibm/core-math etc libs which claim to be more correct, but I suppose we

Well, I think it is fair to say that regexes alone do not provide any facilities for editing. You have groups, but you have to use some other language (like sed) to compose those groups.

It is still bit odd considering tha in the actual benchmarks the preliminary version is significantly faster than the old one. So there seems to be fairly large discrepancy between the cycles estimation and actual runtime

kinda surprising that it still makes sense to develop your own new build system, and then do the migration to it, instead of adopting an off-the-shelf one like buck2 (or bazel/etc...). Not saying that these fancy build tools are easy t

I'm bit surprised that browsers did not get a mention here. They are one of the big examples of how an application can be split into gazillion small processes, split along trust boundaries, while also being pretty performance sensitive

There is DM42 hardware[1] and the DB48X/C47 firmwares for it. I feel that they are very much pushing the boundary on what makes sense on a formfactor like that. For something more powerful, you'd probably want something more in th

circle packing feels slightly different problem, especially as it doesn't tend to have any obvious algorithmic solutions available; circle packing produces irregular packings which I'm not sure I'd call super uniform btw what

Having one point at the center does not feel intuitive. For example the N=19 feels like it would be more uniform as same as N=20 but without center point. Similarly N=3 could be just the points on the outer circle, similar to what N=4 is no

Other big problem is one demonstrated also by the article; openscad is not great at any rounded shapes because it is mostly polygon based. So even if you write out the maths explicitly they might end up being wrong because of the difference

Wouldn't a mono camera and filter wheel be ideal setup for this sort of purpose? Assuming you are interested more in the mineralogy than pretty pictures.

I do kinda struggle to understand the geometry here though. Especially in the picture with the black-out fabric, how is the camera rotating to track stars?
