That's really great! I'm surprised it didn't make it onto the front page. Oh well.
I wouldn't have thought so if it had made it, but I think think maybe the name should be changed to something like "Awesome Uncanny Design" or something, and perhaps the logo could be something that evokes the uncanny valley or the twilight zone or something. The current one might make it sound like we want to ban this stuff, which is not the idea. I just want people to be aware of it. It also isn't all crap, so maybe an upside down smiley face would be a more fitting emoji, or a horse, parachute, butterfly, or another example.
Yeah, I admit I was stuck on what to name it too! Uncanny evokes a nature of mystery, which I'm not sure is totally approproate here.
Haha! I literally just Google'd "something that is attempted but misses the mark", after writing the above paragraph, and I found this article on Wikipedia [1]. It means "tragic flaw" or "to miss the mark". Feels quite apt! Perhaps "Hamartian Design" could work.
I very rarely comment, but I just wanted to say thanks for being awesome!
After showing my mum the video you did with Numberphile, she bought me one of your Klein bottles for my birthday. It's still one of my favourite nonorientable surfaces. ;)
I wanted to figure out the importance of that value you found, so I went and did some further research. It turns out the greatest date you can create in Javascript is Date(8640000000000000). Interesting!
From the ECMAScript Spec [1]:
The actual range of times supported by ECMAScript Date objects is slightly smaller: exactly –100,000,000 days to 100,000,000 days measured relative to midnight at the beginning of 01 January, 1970 UTC. This gives a range of 8,640,000,000,000,000 milliseconds to either side of 01 January, 1970 UTC.
If you have any other good examples I have missed feel free to contribute with an Issue/PR! :)
