Orthographic projection gives you the "globe photo" look; parallel rays, no angle distortion at center.
But what happens at the edges? That's where things get interesting.
Both projections side-by-side in the article ⬇️

The stereographic projection preserves circles and angles, that's why it was used in astrolabes for 2000 years.
Hipparchus figured it out around 150 BCE. Now it's a few lines of TypeScript.

🌍→🗺️ How do you flatten a sphere?
The same question that plagued medieval astronomers still matters today.
In this article, I build stereographic & orthographic projections from scratch; with interactive demos you can drag around.

How long would it take to realize that training machines to kill human is not a good idea?
From math to visualization, from sky coordinates to code.
How do we calculate Local Sidereal Time and turn it into something you can render?

This is also a creative coding project.
We build and draw a star plot step by step, and translate the astronomical concepts into JavaScript.
In this tutorial I break down Sidereal Time and show how to predict which stars you will see from your location at a given moment.
It is less magic and more Earth rotation.
Time is fundamental to understanding the position of a star in our sky.
Our clocks follow Earth’s rotation relative to the Sun. But how do we measure time relative to the stars?
Your call to stay silent, your call to be complicit.

#BeHuman #SpeakUp #Epstein
I know that you would rather prefer me to talk about non-divisive topics. I think this is one of them. We should all be united on what is good and what is bad.
Are we scared to improve the world while knowing exactly what is good or bad?
I know we like to talk about positive things, but isn't aiming for a better society a positive thing?
Today my coffee was particularly bitter.
Maybe poisoned by the silence I am surrounded by.
This is just the beginning. More articles are coming, and soon an npm package so you can draw stars locally too.
Let’s go stargazing 🌌
ideable.dev/starplot/01-...
Now I’m resharing that process as living articles. The code you read is the same code that runs.
Built with www.orgp.dev
So I built my own.
That decision turned into a year of coding, experiments, and prototypes, until I arrived at a solid, reproducible flow.
The alternatives felt wrong, either cheap in quality or expensive without justification. A 50€ poster that didn’t honor the moment of a newborn never sat right with me.
It started as a personal project.
I wanted a truly meaningful gift for friends who had just welcomed a newborn, something that actually honored that moment.
I’m sharing the first article in a series where I break down the concepts and formulas needed to actually understand and draw star maps yourself.
Have you ever wondered how to draw stars?
Not cute five-point shapes, but real maps of the sky above you.
Fight the evil!
If you stay silent you’re part of it.
No pedophiles in power.
#EpsteinFiles #NoPedosInPower
So now to the liberals.. that often sell this narrative of self regulated markets… would the market just accept pedofile in power or would regulate? Should these people be wealthy?
Please join and share the word!
Let’s make the world a better place.
All profits will go to NGOs dedicated to the safeguarding of children around the globe.
I am looking for collaborators who want to volunteer to help build this. Please send me a message if you are interested in joining.
The working group will be in English.
I am building pedofree.com (not live yet), a listing of all the people involved, as well as the companies and political entities related to them, with links to the files that make this visible, and to promote companies that are free from such practices.
As a father, I can’t stay silent. As a human, I need to stand on the principle that vulnerable people should be defended. There is no politics, no ideology. It is simple: pedophiles should not be in positions of power, and we should not pretend to be immune to such scandals.
In light of the new events around the Epstein Files, and given the complexity of our political and economic structures, I have lost the little trust I had in regulated and self-regulated entities, both political and non-political.
Hi @ddbeck.com thanks for the talk I just went trough the slides, I am the guy who give you the flyer about orgp.dev
