You are right, actually. I blindly trusted the computer to figure this one out, but just looking at it I found a better solution by hand. Maybe there really are some better solutions for the 22 monitors problem.

To answer your question: fitting more monitors into these gaps would not result in the optimal placement for that amount of monitors. 23, 24, and 25 monitors all have “expected” results. And closing the remaining gap would not result in a smaller bounding box square.

Here you go. 22 16:9 monitors.

I chose 22 monitors, because all other numbers have very expected results:

Nope its in CoM

Yes, the reference is at exactly 17:40 in the movie.

You are probably thinking of the Pink Floyd reference at 17:40 in the movie.

Yes they should have. Fuck Mike Brown.

At 1:40 he defines his minimum hole size, but I chose a minimum size that doesn’t count tear ducts.

Also I just found out, I may not know what a hole is. If I puncture a plate twice, it now has 3 ways to tie a string through it, so 3 holes? Can anything have just 2 holes?

Am topologist, I’m counting 6 holes. 3 from the ass to mouth, and each nostril, one each from each nostril to the mouth, and one from one nostril to the other.

Blender calculates this as the optimal packing. It’s smaller than the ideal, but I’ve seen Blender be wrong before.

The Hindenburg with 90 year old tech had a cruising speed of 122 km/h.

Thank you for your in depth explanation.

due to the structure of the page it’s a very attractive crawler target

Would you say the old “mlmym” design is more attractive than the new design?

I don’t have the historical comparison to fully understand the chart. Are you saying most of the blue requests are bots? Can you estimate how much it would cost to serve all the bot requests, and enable js-free old.lemmy.world? How much a prestige old web tax would be?

Do you know why you apply this logic to planets, but not stars?

I also can’t name all the planets outside of our solar system, but that seems to be less of an issue for you.

Thank you. Will javascript or this cookie be needed forever now?

I can’t.

I think Pluto having been widely regarded as a planet before and having a visible heart shape on it’s surface is an easier sell. I say they are both planets.

What’s the problem with having many many planets in our solar system?

You also can’t find a good problem with this, can you?

What’s the problem with having many many planets in our solar system? You don’t have to remember them all.

We also have many many stars in our galaxy. We don’t have to know their names for them to still be stars.

Pluto was

Because Pluto is the 9th planet?

How are you counting?

Pluto and the others are planets even without including them all in the mnemonic. The mnemonic is for the first 9 planets, just like you only remember the first few digits of pi.

the people who decided Pluto’s no longer a planet

Yes. Fuck Mike Brown. I don’t know why many people still let him dictate what to think of as a planet. The concept of “planet” is entirely man-made and doesn’t follow any god given or universal criteria. While some astronomers argue that our moon is a planet too, the current criteria would even de-classify earth as a planet, should it get knocked out of our solar system.

I see Pluto as a Planet, and have yet to see a good argument against it.

Thanks for explaining, as a digital artist I always feel out of place in these situations and I never know where to put my stuff or how to work alongside all the analog artists. Sometimes I just sit on the floor, with everyone else, towering (almost tripping) over me, standing by their easels. Very out of place.

But how do you set your devices up on the easel? Or do you draw on your lap? Do you draw standing up or sitting down?
