FEC must investigate apparent Trump campaign cover-up of settlements

https://www.citizensforethics.org/legal-action/legal-complaints/fec-must-investigate-apparent-trump-campaign-cover-up-of-settlements/

The Federal Election Commission must investigate whether Donald Trump’s campaign illegally attempted to hide settlement payments by routing the payments through third parties, according to a complaint filed today by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

New demo (and last new test case) for the upcoming https://thi.ng/geom release (and related packages): Here parsing a SVG path, converting to an SDF, deforming the SDF and sampling/converting the SDF back into SVG at multiple contour levels... all in just a few lines of code!

Demo:
https://demo.thi.ng/umbrella/geom-sdf-path/

Source:
https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/blob/develop/examples/geom-sdf-path/src/index.ts

(Ps. I will add more comments to the example tomorrow...✌️)

The success of ballistic missile defenses will encourage militaries globally to invest in the systems, experts say — and intensify arms races. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/04/world/politics/missile-defense-global-urgency/

According to chatter on #SDF #bboard MetaArray (ma) machine is down. This is affecting the gitea as well as hosting for those who use ma for their personal pages.

I'm sure eventually someone will notice and give it a whack eventually. Patience.

If my MagicaCSG modeling posts have attracted your interest in the SDF modeling method, you might like to have a look at Womp, a free online SDF editor (with a "Pro" subscription option).

I've just played with it for a few minutes, and you can export your scene as an OBJ file, complete with textures for recreating the Womp materials in Blender, as you can see in the screenshot.

Following my previous SDF modeling application tip (Womp), I just discovered that Adobe's Project Neo is accessible as a public beta.

Math genius Inigo Quilez, the father of SDF modeling, is working on Project Neo, and it looks promising. We'll have to wait and see what the subscription price will be though. 😏

The Womp online SDF editor has gone from alpha to beta stage, adding some new features, such as import of meshes. I like their renderer, materials and textures…

Womp is accessible for free via most browsers on any operating system, and offers more functionality to paying subscribers.
