I also do this! My personal top 3 are:

Jesus - Jesi

Bus - Bi

Penis - Penorum

Technically, unless procedurally generated with nodes, there would be a normal map texture/bump texture applied to the soup to get those reflections.

Is this true?

That's just to make sure people don't actually sit down on the ham, as it's collecting aroma.

Here you go. 22 16:9 monitors.

I chose 22 monitors, because all other numbers have very expected results:

::: spoiler spoiler 17 monitors:

What are the requirements?

I trust you. But you also seem biased about somebody eating chicken, considering your name.

You are right, actually. I blindly trusted the computer to figure this one out, but just looking at it I found a better solution by hand. Maybe there really are some better solutions for the 22 monitors problem.

::: spoiler spoiler

This better not end up in any scientific papers, ever. :::

To answer your question: fitting more monitors into these gaps would not result in the optimal placement for that amount of monitors. 23, 24, and 25 monitors all have "expected" results. And closing the remaining gap would not result in a smaller bounding box square.

This tweet is going to be 11 years old very soon!

For the anniversary I wish she would tell us what movies her boyfriend possibly could have meant, and how she liked them.

It's the genitive! Genitive! Which makes the plural.. um! Penum! Penum! Romanorum penum amplitudines non magni sunt!

c===3, c===3, c===3.

Poetry was made today.

Blender calculates this as the optimal packing. It's smaller than the ideal, but I've seen Blender be wrong before.

They look incredible. Is this digital? Is this Gimp or Sketchbook? Can you share your setup? How do you judge the brightness of your screen when in a brightly lit room?

Now it makes sense.

Can you explain them? Not having worked with them, I'm still in the "but why?" phase of complex numbers.

Am topologist, I'm counting 6 holes. 3 from the ass to mouth, and each nostril, one each from each nostril to the mouth, and one from one nostril to the other.

Nope its in CoM

Yes, the reference is at exactly 17:40 in the movie.

it crashed on me occasionally and/or felt sluggish.

I am surprised to hear this. I have used Inkscape for years, and I do not remember it ever crashing on me or it feeling anything but snappy. But I am using it on a very capable machine. I am not saying what you say is untypical (or untrue), just that our experiences with it are very different, and that could explain our different views on it. Do you remember how much free RAM Inkscape had to work with when you used it? Maybe that could have been a limiting factor for Inkscape that caused the sluggishness and the crashes.

Sometimes developers simply do not know about bugs or limitations that only happen with specific hardware, that they just do not own. That is why they really value people telling them about these things.

But then why use Inkscape at all?

The value of Open Source is more than just "it is free" and "you can look at the code". It is the only software that you truly own. It is the only software that humanity truly owns, forever. It is the software that emerged from humanity, yours to use however you like. Nobody (not even the developers themselves) can ever take it away from us, not even a little bit.

Developers contributing to FLOSS often just want to help make really good software. That is their end goal. Not profit, not user numbers. Just good software. Is it going to be the best software there is, right from the start? Of course not. But when you keep working on something with the sole goal of making it good, it will become better than anything that is made for profit.

I believe that in the long run FLOSS becomes un-compete-able. Free and Open Source Software can have years or decades of hard work put into it. Trying to compete with that is an uphill battle right from the start, even within the Open Source world. Proprietary software trying to compete with established Open Source Software? Forget it. Nobody would switch to a proprietary for-profit SSH, even if it were faster. What if something breaks? How do you maintain it? If something breaks 10 years from now? 500 years from now? With Open Source Software, people can look at the code, and fix it. Unlike with proprietary software, where you rely on the original developer maintaining the software.

why switch to Linux in the first place

For me it is reliability.

Something that can be maintained and patched by anybody is much more reliable than something that can only be maintained by a few. Open Source can always be fixed. Does Open Source Software break? Of course it does. Every bigger piece of software has bugs, or develops bugs with changing hardware. But with Open Source Software anybody can fix the bug. Being able to rely on this, is very valuable when you need something to work, and can not afford it to break forever. This is why Hollywood loves Open Source Software.

free software has a quality problem.

I am reading this as "a quality control" problem.

I do not think FLOSS has a quality control problem. The most reliable software in the world is FLOSS. It has a lack of variety in contributors problem (including bug reporting for when something does not work on specific hardware!). Most contributors to FLOSS are software developers, not UX/UI designers. I do not want to say that software developers can not make good UX/UI designs, but the limited time that FLOSS contributors dedicate to this results in users experiencing a lack of polish in many smaller projects.

You are probably thinking of the Pink Floyd reference at 17:40 in the movie.

How did you UV the poles?

No, Inkscape is not good.

What are some areas that you think Inkscape can improve? (Other than "be more like what I'm used to".)

I use Inkscape all the time, and have created amazing things with it.

But how do you set your devices up on the easel? Or do you draw on your lap? Do you draw standing up or sitting down?
