Fractal Kitty

I have posted the 238th Carnival of Mathematics!

fractalkitty.com/238th-carniva

If I missed something please let me know.

There is an extremely slow bit of javascript for untouchable numbers that hopefully won't make the post untouchable.

Thank you @aperiodical for organizing this.

This month we have posts from @mjd Peter Cameron, @two_star, @j2kun, Brian Clegg, @fortnow @KarenCampe, Amédée d'Aboville, Ed Vogel, @standupmaths

There was also an amazing amount of math and art being shared on blueSky with @Ayliean 's math art March prompts

what appears to be a grey circle made of circles, but is created from a K238 graph where there are 238 dots around a circle that connect to every other dot.

I hadn't heard of it before, but it turns out there's a style format called XSLT that allows the browser to translate an XML file into HTML with CSS styling for display purposes.

Since my feed is Atom rather than RSS, I had a bit of trouble, but this post was helpful:

How to Style an Atom Feed with XSLTAndrew Stiefel

I figured out how to get my RSS feed to be human-readable and nice-looking!

I'd been wanting to do this to give people who aren't familiar with RSS an easier on-ramp to the stuff I care about.

I figure if someone new to RSS clicks on the link and just gets raw XML, they might think something is “broken” and not stick around, but now there's something human-readable and with instructions on how to follow it in a reader.
