Chance Miller Reviews the New A20 Pro iPad Mini

Daring Fireball @ 2026-11-03 15:51:14

Chance Miller, writing at 9to5Mac: Unfortunately, the new iPad mini’s screen has one limitation: it doesn’t support ProMotion, or a 120Hz refresh rate of any kind. Instead, it’s still locked to 60Hz. This is an incredibly frustrating decision that I c

Fraction comparison trick revisited

The Endeavour @ 2026-11-03 15:41:25

A few years ago I wrote about a curious result: a/b is usually greater than c/d when a + d is greater than b + c. And “usually” means with probability 11/12. As stated in the post, you can make this statement rigorous by choosing integers up t

Euclidean, Spherical, and Projective Geometry

The Endeavour @ 2026-11-03 13:33:10

Spherical geometry is very tangible because we live on a sphere. Projective geometry seems much more exotic, and yet they’re closely related. To show how they’re connected, let’s go back to the origins of non-Euclidean geometry. Euclidea
