Archimedes proved:
Vol(cylinder) = Vol(sphere) + Vol(cone)
So I made this hourglass.

🎶 Reuben Reuben, I’ve been thinking,
What a great world this would be,
If perhaps there was a sandwich,
Sauerkraut and pastrami.

🎶 Rachel Rachel, I’ve been thinking,
What a wonder this will be!
I’d prefer that it be corned beef,
And we name it after me.

Hey @NYTGames , your two most popular games have the Enter and Delete buttons on opposite sides.

Could we consider swapping the locations in Spelling Bee so that they more closely match Wordle?

@cs_kaplan So, to confirm that I follow the implications: if someone made a bunch of Spectre tiles that were flat on the bottom and had some weird bumpy texture on the top, they could make lots of different aperiodic tilings that are all flat-side -down?

@pablohidalgo And it rhymes with Mumbai.

@pabl0hidalgo Wait, that book isn’t about Saint Arwars?

I’m traveling seven miles per hour faster than that truck.

@divbyzero It is interesting how long it takes to locate the ten squares where the two colors are the same.

Iain Neil received the Gordon Sawyer award tonight for his long history in lens development.

“Remember that lenses have been here longer that any type of movie camera”

His lenses have been used on thousands of films.

And I’ve been a few times.

@WillFaucherVFX Color pipeline can be challenging to succinctly document for all use cases. So please DM if you have specific questions.

[Rod Bogart @RodBogart]

@im_thatoneguy @WillFaucherVFX Thanks for the proofreading. I’ll forward the info to the doc maintainers.

@PaladDosBoliN @WillFaucherVFX That checkmark is for sRGB color encoding, not for the color space. That is why we have separate overrides for color space and color encoding on the texture import now.

[Rod Bogart @RodBogart]

@anodinidades @WillFaucherVFX That was true in UE4. In UE5 you can set a Working Color Space for the project. Then you can optionally use OCIO for output to the viewport and MRQ output files.

@isonno For example, there is a popular puzzle out there which is ten coins in a square tray. The answer is nice, but not too hard to find. I made a version with a small piece that I call the Challenge Diamond that also needs to be fit in. It requires arranging the coins “just so”.

@isonno I’ve definitely spent time looking closely at the different packings here: https://t.co/8mavik5sfA

@tvaziri PDI did a bunch of wire removals and a few comps for this show. It was fun to go to the crew screening, with lots of applause from folks that knew what was happening behind the scenes.
