The BigQuery DataFrames just launched partial ordering mode. In this post, I show an example of where this has a 4,000,000x speed up in terms of bytes scanned. friendliness.dev/2024/09/04/…

I use polarised filters to explain (some) quantum mechanics to my kids. How is it possible that adding a 3rd filter in between (the one at 45º) some light get to go through the otherwise black rectangle in the middle?

Update on the pixel art created c.1875. There was a lot of speculation as to how this panel was made, so I decided to ask an expert. And who better to ask than Benjamin Colman, curator of American art at The Detroit Institute of Arts (@DIADetroit) where the cabinet now sits. 1/6

Found some really cool pixel art... on a cabinet made over 140 years ago! c. 1875, attributed to L. Marcotte & Co. Collection of the Detroit Institute of Art.

I was inspired by a recent post from Rich Aucoin to make a #pixelart version for the Anime Chicago Anthology. See him play live if you can!
