Oh I was thinking about something else and should have worded my question differently: for a given number of vertices, how do you find the coordinates that cover most of the area. So for instance for 3 vertices (triangle): where do you place the three points so that you cover as close as 100% of the area as possible? Overshooting would be allowed, ie a triangle that has an area of 120% of the US would be better than one that has 70%.

What's a systematic algorithm for finding the best approximation (minimal under/overshoot of area) when you are given a raster or vector image representing the "real" borders? Or it just trial and error?
Geheimtipp um die Geburtenrate anzukurbeln: Männer, die Familien mitgründen und unterstützen, nicht in sinnlosen Invasionen verheizen.
Bonustipp: Keine sinnlosen Invasionen anzetteln. Ist es nicht wert, wenn dann Millionen an Menschen, vor allem junge und fähige, aus dem eigenen Land fliehen.
Nice. I'm wondering how often this cycle has played out so far ...?
That was a wild ride. Well done 👏
Never knew about transparent web proxies. Neat. Do they play a part in commercial DDOS protection? I'm thinking of those please wait while we're evaluating your request messages that you get on some sites. But also about any methods used to prove that you are human.
Ah yes, this book used to be somewhat of a staple in German households with children. I dare say whole generations were traumatized 🫨. Up until today the character names are used (pejoratively) for misbehaving children: twitching Philip for ADHD, shockheaded Peter for unkemptness, soup Kaspar for those who play with their food, etc
Good to know. It was a common problem with XCOM 2 for me.
Whenever possible I tried to get around this distorted audio noise after resuming from sleep by first opening a pause menu and then sending the deck to sleep. It seems to occur less the less audio channels are used by the game engine at the moment that you sent the deck to sleep.
What's the difference between run time program data and temporary files? Is /tmp
just for system level processes but not for user space?
These creatures look adorable 😍.
This has some real draw the rest of the fucking owl vibes, well done.
I recently learned that the Mormons settled and resettled in several states before finally staying in Utah. It's quite an interesting story, especially given that most religions are so ancient that it's very hard to track their origins today.
Johnny Harris has great videos about it, this one for instance.
