Today I learned there are only two known polyhedra in which each face shares an edge with every other face.
One of them being the timeless beauty of the tetrahedron and the other one being whatever the heck this is

I think the best way to think about the Omarchy stuff is not a bunch of companies donating millions of dollars to a Linux dotfiles project. It’s a bunch of companies donating money to a political advocacy project with goals like getting minorities out of open source and eliminating the Roma.

I just posted a blog post on my hyperbezier curve: linebender.org/blog/hyperbe...
I've actually been working on this for years, and only recently figured out a solution to the parameter mapping problem. I think this curve is potentially better than cubic Béziers for 2D vector graphic design.

Counter-intuitive VFX win: more vertices → 2× faster transparent effect.
Large empty quads waste fragment shader time. A custom mesh that hugs the actual visible content kills the invisible overdraw.
