is it the psychological “weight” of all that information and history, perhaps, that just makes you wanna drop a load
i wonder if it makes a difference what type of books. would you get the same feeling from magazine racks, a comic book store, or archives of bureaucratic records?

popped into the archives at the vatican for a quick shit, it’s the only way i can go anymore

A single-atom transistor is a device that can open and close an electrical circuit by the controlled and reversible repositioning of one single atom. The single-atom transistor was invented and first demonstrated in 2004 by Prof. Thomas Schimmel and his team of scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (former University of Karlsruhe). By means of a small electrical voltage applied to a control electrode, the so-called gate electrode, a single silver atom is reversibly moved in and o Th...
i just find it funny to think that a single atom can be “invented”

Intel stuck on single atom transistors for seven years while AMD launches quark transistors.

perspective hexagon reminds me of metroid prime (that’s all)
In geometry, Brianchon's theorem is a theorem stating that when a hexagon is circumscribed around a conic section, its principal diagonals (those connecting opposite vertices) meet in a single point. It is named after Charles Julien Brianchon (1783–1864).

i don’t understand a word of this, but it’s nice that things this abstract can have a bit of artistic inspiration
In mathematics, the butterfly lemma or Zassenhaus lemma, named after Hans Zassenhaus, is a technical result on the lattice of subgroups of a group or the lattice of submodules of a module, or more generally for any modular lattice.
This can be generalized to the case of a group with operators

this was a concept i could see in my head for a long time before i came across the actual definition, so it was a little euphoric
In geometry, an envelope of a planar family of curves is a curve that is tangent to each member of the family at some point, and these points of tangency together form the whole envelope. Classically, a point on the envelope can be thought of as the intersection of two "infinitesimally adjacent" curves, meaning the limit of intersections of nearby curves. This idea can be generalized to an envelope of surfaces in space, and so on to higher dimensions.
To have an envelope, it is necessary that th...
edit: looks like there’s a similar graphic on the Bézier curve article

This procedure is useful for making a monitor display images approximately correctly, on systems in which profiles are not used (for example, the Firefox browser prior to version 3.0 and many others) or in systems that assume untagged source images are in the sRGB colorspace.
In the test pattern, the intensity of each solid color bar is intended to be the average of the intensities in the surrounding striped dither; therefore, ideally, the solid areas and the dithers should appear equally bright...
Has a simple gamma correction test image
that lets you eyeball for correct gamma calibration of your monitor by seeing if the “2.2” box in the image blends smoothly with the dithered background.
It’s similar to the gamma 2.2 calibration test images I’ve always used to calibrate my monitor, roughly, for graphics work:
