A circle should have the greatest area per perimeter and I can’t think of a regular polygon with more sides that tessellates.

Abraxiel [any]@hexbear.netto World News@lemmy.ml•Macron opposes gender-inclusive spelling as he inaugurates language museumEnglish11·2 years ago“Inclusive” writing involves writing both masculine and feminine forms of words, separated by dots – for example “francais.e.s”.
The proposed law being debated by the Senate later Monday would ban such phrasing in education and all official texts, from work contracts to court documents to instruction manuals.
Macron appeared supportive, saying: “In this language, the neutral form is provided by the masculine. We don’t need to add dots in the middle of words to make it better understood.”

Abraxiel [any]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Did your basic education (i.e. pre-college/university) cover proper research skills and media literacy?English4·2 years agoThis is all to my fallible recollection.
I remember having to do a research project in middle school. We all got shuffled into the computer lab to start researching a topic to ultimately write an essay or presentation or some such on. The problem for me was that I was kind of blindsided by it.
I all of a sudden had to not only learn how to use a scholarly database to find good information on a topic, but had to pick a topic as a preteen that was interesting and had information available to digest. I don’t remember what I ended up doing.
There were other instances of this in my pre-university education though that went better, with more constrained topics or scope.

Abraxiel [any]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?English171·2 years agoI don’t think video games would be as big or as developed as a medium and hence as an industry without piracy. For every dollar “lost” because someone pirated instead of buying, there’s probably a greater factor of money “gained” from people gaining and maintaining interest in the medium. Maybe even especially for smaller games, the number of people introduced to the idea that indie titles can be really good, who play something they wouldn’t have if it meant foregoing a more reliable large title, and then go on to talk about it online, and maybe buy it themselves is a big factor in growing the audience for those games and the medium itself.
I also don’t believe in intellectual property as it stands today and believe in the end of capitalism and market economies as a necessary feature for human development, so hopefully the idea of piracy will be moot eventually.
I hope to make commercial games and while that would seemingly put me in conflict with pirates, I’m convinced that my attitude won’t change, for the reasons above.
I tend not to hold grudges because I don’t see the point of holding anger. If someone wrongs me I might increase the distance between us socially or not trust them with certain things if I feel it would be unwise to continue. Sometimes there needs to be some kind of reconciliation for things to be close again. I’ve definitely stopped being friends with people for reasons that were unlikely to change or where it wasn’t worth continuing, but it’s very hard for me to stay mad at them or wish them ill. Even the people who’ve done awful things to me or who are now contemptible in many respects, I just kind of hope they do better in the future, far away from me.
I’ve never considered this to have anything to do with my adhd, but maybe? It would definitely be something more complicated than just forgetting though.
Abraxiel [any]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Whats your favorite free open source software that everyone should try?English22·2 years agoBig fan of Krita as a painting program. You’ve gotta learn some different hotkeys and all that, but it’s better laid out and easier to learn than like, GIMP or Blender ime. Lots of good tutorials, plenty of free brushes, quite customizable. I really like its alpha-locking and groups as an alternative system to clipping masks.
