This only took 2 hours, but I derived and debugged it.

My Equal Area Hemi-goofball #Projection .

I promise I'm going to make bad use of it.

// c = [r; φ]: [0;1], [0; τ]
// return [φ, η]: [0; τ/4], [0;τ]
// hemisphere only!
vec2 myEqualAreaCircleToSphere(vec2 c) {
if (c.x > 1.0) {1.0 / 0.0;}
float r = c.x * sqrt(2.);
float q = 1.0 - r * r * 0.5;
return vec2(asin(sqrt(1.0 - q*q)), c.y);
}

PS. Take breaks for thinking.

KDE Plasma is great. GNOME is awesome. Window managers are wonderful. Everything has quirks but I love all these options we have. I can't wait to see where we take them.

Sun printed the names of the design team on top of this TurboGX (cgsix) sbus graphics card. I'm so curious why some of the names are crossed out! Curtis, Chris M, or Bruce - are you on the fediverse?

Trying to map a surface onto a whole (hemi)sphere, covering it as uniformly as feasible.

(This is another crazy secret #SDF project.)

Lambert Equal Area projection only has 2 sources: #Wikipedia and #PROJ . The equation doesn't nearly cover the hemisphere :/

Just look at this junk!

I'll have to derive the correction factor myself...

It sounds like the Librem 5 is making good progress in its performance. I am also seeing pictures of bluetooth from @todd, and gaming videos by @dos
