in my opinion, (although the counter-argument is clear), the reason to donate to the FOS movement in the short term instead of long term endowments is because it feels like we are at a critical turning point in the history of technology with respect to its role as an equalizer or a way for the powerful to become more powerful. A large push now is worth more than a small push every year for infinity.
their point is that this is a package meant to financially aid those in the process of learning, but it's restricted to learners who are already privileged enough to be part of the expensive system (maybe some of them through grants or loans).
Isn't it worth mentioning that a package meant to give people access to expensive learning resources isn't available to those who need it most?
good idea! this project was partially inspired by math classes spent in high school plotting pretty polar functions on my graphing calculator instead of paying attention to trigonometry... I'm not sure that mojulo in it's current form will be a useful educational tool but I think that toys similar to this are a great way to impress upon kids a sense of different functions they usually only encounter on paper
Fan is (y-50)/(x-50)+time/5, sin is to add texture. Multiplying x by cos and y by sine of the same frequency would simply rotate the fan centre around top right corner, slightly off periods (19 and 21) degenerate that circle into a more interesting Lissajous curve.
fantastic effect! One of my favorites today, thank you. Quick question - do you think that I should refine the gallery formatting to include attribution? It's a bit of a "discovery vs invention" type quandary
Just wanted to mention, that gallery link is barely noticeable because of the blue color. I didn't notice it on multiple visits till you mentioned there was a gallery.
