Elegant Mathematics Bending the Future of Design
EPFL researchers have developed a new way to design complex, curved three-dimensional shapes using flat materials such as paper, aluminum sheets or plastic, combining creative thinking with a new computational algorithm.
Ooh, designing type inference so error messages don't sound like the drunk rant of a confused compiler 🤯! Because who doesn't love a mind-bending scavenger hunt through cryptic error logs? 🔍💻 Turns out, it’s not magic; it's just that language designers prioritized everything else over user sanity. 🎩✨

Type inference has a reputation for causing unhelpful error messages from the compiler when there is a type error. For example, here’s a typical comment:
