What Your Favorite Map Projection Says About You

Dymaxian

You like Isaac Asimov, XML, and shoes with toes. You think the Segway got a bad rap. You own 3D goggles, which you use to view rotating models of better 3D goggles. You type in Dvorak.

That can't be right. Nobody likes XML.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

XML is fine when used in spaces it suits, though JSON is generally better

Ooh so this sent me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole and it's so fun! I'm deciding my favorite between:

  • Strebe 1995
  • Robinson
  • Goode homolosine
  • Waterman Butterfly

They seem intuitive without much if any distortion. Really cool stuff!

Funnily enough, I typed in Dvorak for years before I ever selected Dymaxion on that comic, but I have never viewed VR goggles in VR (my first 3d goggles were in the Pentium-1-with-small-hundreds-of-MHz-of-clock era)

I needed a Trinitron monitor to get 60hz refresh in each eye

Psh, I haven't used Dvorak for a decade now
