Damn, I have a plethora of #geminiprotocol tabs opened in #lagrange and my entire system is still comfortably using less than 300MB of RAM

I'm onto something, comrades 👩‍🔧

I’m tinkering with #geminiprotocol. I’ve installed #Amfora so I can use sites that require identity certs. The whole trust first on use (tofu) is batshit (says the idiot who always blindly trusts ssh host verification), but it’s kinda neat. #lagrange definitely has the whole ergonomics of identity certs lock down not a whiff of openssl command line magicks. Would’ve preferred to stick with bombadillo (it’s suports #GopherProtocol and #fingerprotocol), but can’t do certs). I would love to see a tui that can renders images using #sixel

Je fais mon tour de ce qui a été posté depuis hier sur #Gopher et #Gemini dans #Lagrange en écoutant cette #webradio #lofi avec #MPV lancé depuis un terminal #Guake, et c’est cool :

Tiens, tiens… Mon TU (topic unique) sur #Lagrange sur HFR a été déplacé de la catégorie “Windows & Software” (à laquelle il appartient, puisque je parle de logiciel) à la catégorie fourre-tout “Discussions”… Je me demande pourquoi, et je viens justement de poser la question aux modos. Mais vu comment la modération (ou plutôt modocratie) est menée, je m’attends pas trop à une réponse qui tient la route.
🤓 Ah yes, the riveting tale of #Lagrange Interpolating Polynomials—a math nerd’s wet dream! 📈 Just what the internet needs: *another* 5000-word novel on fitting curves to dots! 🤯 Because who doesn’t love a good bedtime story about polynomial coefficients? 🙄

Notes on Lagrange Interpolating Polynomials - Eli Bendersky's website

"La Grange" is a song by the American rock group #ZZTop, from their 1973 album #TresHombres. One of ZZ Top's most successful songs, It was later released as a single in January 1974, Although Some Source indicate January 19, 1973 Or April 1, 1974 as The Original Released Date It Was received extensive radio play, rising to No. 41 on the #Billboard Hot 100 in June 1974. The song’s title and lyrics refer to a #brothel on the outskirts of #LaGrange, #FayetteCounty.

Schiller’s friend Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) was also aware of the aesthetic value of mathematics, writing in ‘Wilhelm Meister’s Journeyman Years’:

‘The mathematician is complete only insofar as he is a complete human being, as he is sensible in himself of the beauty inherent in truth. Only then will his work be thorough, transparent, perceptive, pure, clear, graceful, even elegant. All that is needed if one would be like La Grange.’

Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736–1813) found mathematical beauty in many of the fields in which he worked. Here I present some examples from solid geometry.

He considered beautiful Albert Girard’s (1595–1632) theorem relating the area and the angles of a spherical triangle:

The area of a triangle ABC on the surface of a unit sphere is A + B + C − π.

Jean-Étienne Montucla (1725–99) had earlier called the result ‘very elegant’, but had complained that Girard had proved it in a ‘quite laborious and obscure’ fashion. Lagrange thought John Wallis’s (1616–1703) proof was beautiful.

Another result that Lagrange admired was the following:

In any stereographic projection of a sphere onto a plane, any circle on the sphere that does not pass through the point of projection is projected to a circle on the plane (see attached image).

Hence to find the image of such a circle under projection it suffices to find the images of three distinct points on the circle. This fact Lagrange thought a ‘beautiful property of the stereographic projection’.

Antes de nada, bienvenidos y bienvenidas a la Geminisfera.

He reorganizado mi cápsula de Gemini, incluido el gemlog. A partir de hoy solo publicaré mi blog (ahora gemlog) en el protocolo Gemini.

Si queréis, podéis visitar mi cápsula directamente a través del navegador Lagrange (https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/) o, en el terminal, a través de algún navegador tipo Amfora (https://github.com/makew0rld/amfora).

La dirección original de La Cápsula de un Absolute Beginner es esta:

gemini://abslutebeginner.flounder.online/

Si, por lo contrario, no queréis visitar la versión original de mi gemlog, podéis hacerlo sustituyendo "gemini://" por "https://" en la dirección que os he anotado arriba.

Es mi granito de arena para crear una internet más sencilla y más justa.

Ya no volveré a escribir en la instancia de Writefreely Sopa de Letras (https://sopadeletras.club). Agradezco mucho a sus gestores y mantenedores que me dieran en su momento un pequeño espacio y la posibilidad de publicar un blog con ellos. Y, de paso, les aconsejo a todos y a todas que usen servicios como Writefreely, si es que no se quieren venir a la Geminisfera, lo cual les aconsejo aún más.
