I suspect the easiest way to do it is to create the voronoi diagram and then partition based on coordinates of the county seat.

Who Would Jesus Kill?
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
Catholic Vice President Vance takes to social media to justify killing of Renee Good
After the tragic shooting of Renee Good at the hands of ICE, the Catholic vice president of the United States took to social media to justify the killing.

Christopher Alexander wrote a pair of fascinating books about this, but in a lot more depth and detail.

If you ever complain that your TBR pile grows faster than you can get through it, guess what you could be doing instead of doom scrolling here?

We've had to go back to in store shopping because our shoppers are reading challenged.

I don't mind so much, since I try to do it at 7:00 AM on Sundays.

So good! It's on my list of favorite books/series from last year. (Along with Snake Eater, of course).

Other noteworthy books/series:

A Drop of Corruption, the next book in Robert Jackson Bennett's Shadow of the Leviathan series.

The Twelve Houses series by Sharon Shinn.

The Rook and Rose series by M.A. Carrick (pseudonym for Marie Brendan and Alyc Helms)

So pardon me if I read this similar to "Is there any use for percents?"

I am, BTW, completely willing to accept arguments that the answer is "None, and we should stop teaching them."
January 5, 2026 at 12:58 PM
For periodic functions, you can think of shift before stretch/squish the same we do for percents - it's a shift in terms of a fraction of the whole (period) rather than some absolute value. It's just that we use 2pi as our whole rather than 100.

Situations where you care more about phase than displacement.

The only obvious one I can think of is when converting from phase to orthogonal sum.
January 5, 2026 at 2:29 AM
F is commonly written as φ when don't like that and it's used to represent phase. It can either be between 0 and 2pi or -pi to pi.

Call your reps and tell them that if they don't put forward and support a no confidence vote in the current leadership, that you will support, both financially and by volunteering, their opponents to the best of your ability in the next election.
Stop saying that all Schumer and Jeffries ever do is write strongly worded letters. Bullshit. They're not strongly worded at all.

The River has Roots by Amal El-Mothar

Royal Gambit (the latest in the Chequey series) by Daniel O'Malley

The Tuyo series by Rachel Neumeier which I am savoring and drawing out because I don't want it to end.

And finally, the very healing (for me) Snake Eater by T Kingfisher.

I read this at the beginning of last year, and it felt like it might be the best thing I'd read all year.

I'm not sure it was, but only because I've enjoyed so much of what I've read this year.
THE RAVEN SCHOLAR has me in an absolute chokehold, what an incredibly well-paced jewel of a book, I love the feeling of looking at the 400 remaining pages & feeling the anticipatory loss of it coming to an end

Part of the obvious pattern is the "opposition" party whose main job is to be complicit and use token resistance to prevent any actual opposition.
January 3, 2026 at 5:58 PM
Well, I've found that a lot of teaching math is explaining that previous courses lied to them. Just another one to add to the list.

I mean, composite fractions are a thing that are a clear counter example.
January 1, 2026 at 8:54 PM
Why?
January 1, 2026 at 8:53 PM
Sure.

It depends on what learning you want them to demonstrate. But it's pretty clear to me that they understand the importance of both denominator (having found a common one) and the numerator. To that end, I'd say they've demonstrated proficiency in analyzing fractions.

Sorry about the weird warning. I'm on vacation and on mobile. Will post an update once I'm at a proper computer again.

Desmos version I made a while back. It transforms the space between dots into Reimann rectangles to find position from velocity.

I love how adding a layer of complexity (pun intended) has an associated cost.

Going to octonions costs you associativity.
