  2. The #Mathober day 6 prompt is ‘Partial sum’, and so I offer a diagram of the #Fractal ‘blancmange curve’ or ‘Takagi curve’ and some of the partial sums that converge to it. It is defined on the unit interval by
    \[
    y(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{s(2^n x)}{2^n},
    \]
    where
    \[
    s(x) = \min_{n \in \mathbb{Z}}|x - n|.
    \]
    (See the Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blancman)

    In the diagram, successive partial sums are shown in darkening shades of grey and (an approximation to) the curve itself in black.

  3. You can't be "free". No matter what, your environment and the people around you will impact your available choices. The question is can we be less negatively impacted and limited by the physical world, and can we find compromises with others to maximize everybody's experience in this limited lifespan.

    Or can you somehow dominate such that the trade-offs are almost always nearly 100% in your favor. I guess that's what the never fucking done billionaires are trying to do. #asymptote

  4. There are two things that always fascinated me. One, the graphics language developed in And second, connecting various libraries from different sources.

    With that in mind, here's another proof of concept of an interface for loading asymptote paths expressions into .

  5. CW: New Rosetta Code task

    I wrote a new #RosettaCode task of interest to both #ATS fans and #fonts fans:

    Steffensen's method - Rosetta Code rosettacode.org/wiki/Steffense

    Incidentally, before being smart and using #MetaPost for the graphic (the only SW I should have considered, aside from #Asymptote), I tried using the software formerly known as FF, but which did nothing but crash. I mean, really, it did nothing but crash. FontCrash, it will be called.
