As someone who has spent a lot of my life editing bezier curves, this is really fantastic.
The one sticking point is instability in the middle of s curves which seems difficult. We're getting better control for every fully convex or non-convex path in exchange for chaos at the boundary between the two. I wonder if incorporating some other error term of the curvature in those regions might help, perhaps guaranteeing that the curvature derivatives are close to continuous whenever the curvatures themselves get too small?
One other thought is that you could use a saturating function of the tangent circle radius so that 0 curvature points don't have to have their control points go to infinity, perhaps making the saturation point a function of the distance to the nearby nodes to keep the scale reasonable.
Personally, I decided that being ambitious at work wasn't as important to me relative to being involved in my kids' lives, and intentionally pulled back. I'm fortunate that my work offers part time options, so I went down to 80%. I take two half days per week to spend the afternoon with my kids after school.
The title is fine, a little ambiguity isn't a bad thing.
If you ever find yourself surrounded by Crows, Magpies, Parrots, and Corellas (and Cockatoos in general), you might start thinking about both attributes.
Jet black crows have that intensity that Douglas Adams wrote about:
This is awesome. Are ordinary objects bright enough to register their spectra in it?

After doing this I was looking for some way to do spectrophotometry with a small enough amount of equipment that my wife would approve of, so that I can add more things to the list and confirm their color.
i-Ready has two products, i-Ready diagnostic and i-Ready learning. The diagnostic is solely used for adaptive testing. The learning software is used for classwork, homework, and lessons. The learning software is what this is about. Lots of schools just use the diagnostic tests.
That is how the teachers described it to us (the testing software being adaptive). As far as I know, we only use the diagnostic software. I wasn't aware of the existence of a learning version of this software.
My child's school is the same, they use the diagnostic software. My question was more toward wondering if the diagnostic is as anemic as the learning version in terms of being adaptive.
Wow! Great suggestion. Whether to count coconut milk as milk is a decision I had not yet had to make.
My thinking at the moment is that I probably would not. It seems like further research would reveal a whole new region in the upper left, clustering with Dan Bing, of "asian milkless crepes."
Egg nog is listed on the triangle as away from flour, but it is extremely high in carbs. When I was a kid, I loved egg nog and a couple of years ago I decided to purchase some. I liked it so much I drank the whole half gallon in a day. That night I had horrible painful bloating and looked at the ingredients label to find "sugar", "cane sugar". "corn syrup", and "high fructose corn syrup".
It's not so much that it's high in carbs, it's extraordinarily high in fat. Its main ingredients are egg yolks and heavy cream along with the sugar. What you're describing is like eating an entire cheesecake or drinking a pitcher of melted premium ice cream. The bloating is from the enormous amount of fatty calories that are slow to digest. Not really about the sugar. (And of course it has sugar, it's essentially a dessert drink.)
