L'administration Trump proscrit l'usage de la typo Calibri car celle-ci est plus lisible pour les personnes qui ont des handicaps liés à la vue ou à la lecture, ce qui est "DEI" — diversity-equity-inclusion.
Typeface of ‘wasteful’ diversity: Trump’s state department orders return to Times New Roman
Memo from Marco Rubio reportedly said cutting Calibri from official communication would ‘abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program’

Voici la projection que les Chinois ont adoptée depuis quelques années. Centrée sur l'Himalaya, la Chine à mi chemin entre les deux pôles. La Chine centre du monde, pays du 3ème pôle. Les États-Unis loin de ce centre. Une carte de Hao Xiaoguang. A lire : geoconfluences.ens-lyon.fr/informations...

Where I am right now.
Mesoamerican sculpture in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston: Seated couple Mexico (Nayarit), Ixtlán del Río style, 100 BC-AD 250 Earthenware with slip paint The drinking cup poised at the woman's mouth and the man's acocote drinking gourd (for sucking liquids) suggest a funerary feast or one honoring ancestors. The couple wears finely decorated clothing and elaborate jewelry, the remains of which are found in Nayarit shaft tombs.

Idly had the thought “I wonder if Donald Knuth is still doing a Christmas lecture?” And the answer is of course he is, it was yesterday. Eighty-seven years old, still on the wholly Quixotic TAoCP path, and casually spitting out TeX fascicles. www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/fasc8...
It's convenient to redraw Fig. 121(b) as three concentric rings, without crossing edges, as shown in Fig. 122(a). Then it's easy to find a Hamiltonian cycle, such as the one indicated by bold edges in Fig. 122(b). (In fact, Hamilton proved that every such cycle on the dodecahedron is essentially the same as this one; see exercise 9.) Thus we can also redraw the dodecahedron's graph as shown in Fig. 122(c). From that diagram it's obviously Hamiltonian - that is, it obviously has a spanning cycle; but it's not obviously planar at first glance. was acquired in 1911. A similar example, smaller and with more beautiful let-terforms, is object number UC 59254 in the nearby Petrie Museum of University College London [see W. M. F. Petrie, Objects of Daily Use (1927), #288]. What a pleasant coincidence that W. R. Hamilton himself would independently come up with the same concept some 1800 years later, and would proceed to find a closed cycle instead of just a path! Now fast forward to the ninth century, are equivalent to the tours of bunches aza3a4a1, a3a4a1a2, and a4a1a2a3 whenever each aj is one of the 28 wedge codes. Reflection also gives an equivalent tour, whose bunch depends only on the unreflected bunch name. For example, the top-bottom reflection of cycle (1) gives a cycle that belongs to bunch yByD. In general, let p and r be the permutations of wedge codes that correspond to 90° rotation and to top-bottom reflection. Then a → ap is the mapping discussed in Fig. 123, and we have a=abodefghijklABCDEFGHIJKLwxyz;

Petit projet perso du week-end pour s'occuper en hiver. Un vieux téléphone qui lit des histoires interactives et donne la météo, et l'heure de passage du RER. Le code est la github.com/comeetie/Mon... j'ai fait ça avec du raspberry. C'est pas nouveau cc @samy-rabih.bsky.social mais trop mignon😍

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.
