A couple weeks ago, I got to present my art at Bridges in Eindhoven! It was an amazing time meeting other artists and even seeing a special preview of an upcoming video by @3blue1brown.com โ€” plus everyone loved the Pinski pins!

Iโ€™ll post some follow-ups about the second half of the trip soon!

In November of 2016, nearly 60 years after the paper was published internally, I had discovered the joke.

A few years later, I filed to have the paper declassified, and the NSA eventually agreed, and even put it up on their webpage:

I've seen several Godot developers now annoyed that they have to either silence the warning or clutter their global signal list with warning_ignore. If that's you, use warning_ignore_start and warning_ignore_restore (version 4.4 or higher).

It's #FractalFriday! This is Alluring Pollen:

"By one of the soft, blue plants that covered this planet, the crew could see someone who hadn't been as careful: Mask removed, the Pollen had dragged them in -- only their feet were left dangling from the feasting bloom."

Just got my first contribution merged into Godot, coming in 4.5: Autocomplete won't duplicate characters when typing string literals or node paths anymore!

It's a small bug fix to start, but I plan on contributing even more in 4.6 and beyond.

Archetypal numbers are always interesting, especially looking at which ones different cultures perceive as meaningful! 3, 4, and 7 are particularly common, and most archetypal numbers are understandably 10 or less.
