I’ve been mostly off Mastodon (and almost completely off Twitter).
For now, I’m signing in occasionally and following back people whose handles I recognize – no disrespect if I don’t recognize you.
My head’s been in some side projects. E-mail (charlie at planet dot parts) is the best way to catch up with me for now.

Brief reminder that if you're in the US and have family members who object primarily to mRNA vaccines, Novovax (non-mRNA) is available as a primary and in some limited cases a booster vaccination for covid.
People getting the shots *this week* should have strong protection by Christmas. Might be a good week to nudge nudgeable folks to add some layers of protection for elderly and immunocompromised friends and relatives.
What’s the best way to to a mastodon version of https://twitter.com/salkjorts/ ?
https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2022/11/14/the-unnecessary-peril-of-the-fuller-projection/ is really unfortunate; I think the Fuller projection is useful and should be used more seriously.
I do suspect that you could find better projections on similar principles by (practically) exhaustive search of polyhedron rotations on Earth’s landmasses.
https://medium.com/vis-gl/unfolding-the-earth-myriahedral-projections-in-webgl-6b2bcfd00a30 goes in that direction and I think its octahedron is already arguably better than Fuller for its simplicity.
I’ll tell you what I would pay $8 for is a tier of YouTube where the tutorial videos didn’t contain self-deprecating laughter at bad jokes.

@meetar There’s no way this is right.
@meetar If math humor is wrong, well, I’m not surprised.
Sometimes you’ll encounter a scale-related image processing problem and think “I know! I’ll use pyramids!” Now you have 1.333 problems.
