Bezier Curve as Easing Function in C++

This is a guest post from my friend Łukasz Izdebski Ph.D. Intro It’s been a while since my last guest post on Adam’s blog, but I’m back with something short and practical—think of it as an epilogue to this earlier post on Bézier curves in animation. The last post focused on the theory and mathematics behind Bézier curves. What it lacked was a practical perspective—an opportunity to see the implementation in action. I wanted to share with you a simple library that I have created. Its purpose is

Scientists Find a Tattoo–Cancer Link—But It’s Not What You’d Expect

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-09-21 16:25:08

You may have heard lately that tattoos can potentially raise your risk of skin cancer. Recent research might complicate that narrative, however, suggesting that tattoos aren’t as harmful to our skin as assumed. Scientists at the University of Utah led the study, published last month in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Contrary to their expectations, they found that people who had multiple tattoos actually had a lower associated risk of melanoma. That said, the findings don’t provid

How Apple used ANC to build its best AirPods features

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-22 16:00:37

Once upon a time, noise-canceling headphones primarily existed for one purpose: air travel. Bose and Sennheiser were among the first on the scene commercially, blocking unwanted sounds for pilots long before wireless headphones were even a thing. Today, active noise cancellation (ANC) is not just commonplace, it's practically expected for any consumer headphone. During the development of its four sets of AirPods with ANC, Apple has harnessed the power of its noise-blocking system to create a na

EVs Have Gotten Too Powerful

wired.com Jason Barlow 2025-09-23 05:00:00

Mass is still the enemy here, and EVs typically have lots of it. Factor in bigger brakes and wheels, and the result is an increase in unsprung mass. That puts the springs and dampers under more pressure, which results in an increased amount of energy that needs to be managed, and unwanted oscillations when a car hits a pothole, for example. A car also wants to pivot around what’s known as the center of yaw. If you can locate as much mass as possible close to that point, then the car will rotate

Classic recessive-or-dominant gene dynamics may not be so simple

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-23 02:52:21

In brief A new Stanford study explores how fruit fly populations maintain genetic diversity amid changing environments, which is crucial for survival against future challenges. The research provides direct evidence to support the theory of “dominance reversal” in genetics. Findings indicate that genetic variants can act as dominant or recessive based on environmental conditions – which gives the flies long-term pesticide resistance. Populations live in rapidly changing environments – droughts
