lornajaneThe AI assistant I thought would help me with this JSONPath refactoring task just hallucinated a feature for OpenAPI Overlays that does not exist (citation: I maintain the thing). But now I’m thinking …. maybe we DO need template based variable replacement as a feature?!?? <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/NerdSniped" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NerdSniped</a>

JinnaNerdsniping of the day (I was the victim): Are there years when the US vs ISO abiding countries do not agree on the week number?The answer as per playing a bit with python is: yes indeed, and 2027 will be the next occurrence. On this date 2 years from now, the US is living week 15 while most of us are still in week 14.The root cause is a different definition of week 1, whether it's placed on January 1st or January 4th.In addition there's the bit where we disagree on the number every Sunday and other Fun conflicts I'm omitting for brevity, but that's mostly small potatoes to almost an entire year of potential misunderstandings!<a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/nerdsniped" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nerdsniped</a> <a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/themoreyouknow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theMoreYouKnow</a>

Since it's a fundraiser, we'll assume the cake-stalleers are footing the bill for supplies/preparation and 100% of the sale price is going towards buying our new bomber.A B2 apparently ran $2B a pop, while newer B21s have that down to about $700M[2]. We'll average that out into $1.5B to make the math easier.Putting that together: $1.5B/bomber ÷ $15/cake = 100 000 000 cakes to buy a new bomber from scratch.

JP- I'm comfortable assuming postcards are rectangular in overall shape, and don't have any holes in them (any that do can be amended manually!) - There's sometimes little pieces of white-ish fluff on the black card; there would need to be made transparent too; though that's not been too tricky (it just makes the NYC example harder)No worries if you're now regretting replying — but if you're looking to be <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/nerdsniped" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nerdsniped</a> then you're welcome 😂 (4/4)

David MasonI got properly <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NerdSniped" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NerdSniped</a> last night thinking about how to create <a href="https://mas.to/tags/shapes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shapes</a>.A circle is easy and has a defined <a href="https://mas.to/tags/circularity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#circularity</a> (1) and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/AspectRatio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AspectRatio</a> (1), but how do you create a set of shapes with given values for these properties?An ellipse seems like a decent "base" shape to start with but then calculating the perimeter is not as trivial as I thought it would be.Here is the question that started it if anyone is interested in chiming in: <a href="https://forum.image.sc/t/free-shape-generator-based-on-the-obtained-data/96113?u=dnmason" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://forum.image.sc/t/free-shape-generator-based-on-the-obtained-data/96113?u=dnmason</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Maths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Maths</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Geometry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Geometry</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Mathstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mathstodon</a>
