It's complicated. It's sort of colony animal, like a slime mold or a portuguese man-o-war. Either way, you shouldn't touch it.

They changed the format in the last season and did a bunch of smaller myths and the build-team was less involved. They basically knew they weren't going to do any more, so none of the cast were invested.

Since this is a practical application (and many straightedge problems don't allow measuring), you could do the same but with two parallel chords.

Bisect both chords and the line formed by those points must also pass through the centre.

Scribe a tangent to either circle. A line perpendicular to the tangent that passes through the intersection of the tangent must pass through the centre. Do it twice and where those two lines intersect is the centre point.

Not sure if that will work for your practical application - getting it truly perpendicular might be hard.

A few things to note:

JavaScript is not a "batteries included" language - if you need math functions or cryptography or any kind of utility, you need to load it along with your script (usually from npm).

Loading a lot of small files is slower than streaming one big combined file, so tools like webpack will stitch all the files in your node_modules directory and minify it, so it's not unusual to have big files like this.

Does the site actually need all this code? Probably not! The ridiculous part is that every one of those npm dependencies has it's own list of dependencies, so just grabbing a small handful of libraries can result in huge trees of files!

Even more insane is that many of these probably have shared dependencies, but very slightly different versions, so multiple almost identical packages get downloaded.

Worst of all is that is most packages probably don't use 90% of the code in the dependencies that they do need - e.g. if you want a "sin" function from a math library then you'll be downloading "cos" and "tan" too.

There are tools like tree-shaking and pruning that help to remove unused packages during the bundler step, but I rarely see them used. It's a lot of extra configuration and setup when mostly the products aren't affected by a few extra KB or MB.

Anyway that's why js and node and npm suck to both work with and to use. The site probably doesn't need all that extra code, but there is no easy way to prove it so you get everything "just in case".

I shall ponder this thoroughly

Well, that answers that question.

I had to study the diagram a few times to figure out what the core point was, but I think it boils down to this:

Democracy: Highly equal, 1 person = 1 vote, everyone is included ("inalienist")

Capitalism: Different levels of power, 1 person = $X, some people can't participate as much as others ("alienist")

Does this mean that Democratic Capitalism is somehow an oxymoron? Only in situations where we allow both types of power to coexist - hence the absolutely critical need to:

• Keep money out of politics
• Ban bribes and "gifts" at every level of government
• Fund institutions that prevent corruption and promote transparency

That would have made a better meme
