I recommend anyone who finds this topic interesting watch the video The Continuity of Splines . It's a detailed discussion of how you derive Bèzier and higher-order curves to serve…

I recently started a new job and opted for a mac thinking "it's a unixy system, so it'll be more like my home linux setup". I have some regrets. The forced scroll acceleration is p…
