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!

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.

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 (Detroit Inst of Arts) where the cabinet now sits. 1/6

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?

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/big…
