#MakieCon is over and I've had the pleasure to meet quite a few nice people. A gathering ground of interesting personalities and bright minds alike! Already looking forward to next year's installation of it and maybe until then #OSM #Makie will have more to show and I can present it. :) Thanks for organising it @LazaroAlonso and everyone else!

First day of #MakieCon is over. Great start and excited to see where our journey takes us tomorrow. #JuliaLang #Makie #DataViz

https://github.com/Ferrite-FEM/FerriteViz.jl/pull/69 rewrote the whole plotting object and found some bugs in #Makie, that were fixed by one of the core devs. Now all custom plotting recipes are of orders of magnitude faster 🚀 #julialang

A quick tutorial about how to reproduce @ed_hawkins warming stripes in #Julialang using #Makie #showyourstripes https://nbviewer.org/gist/ruboerner/a273217b54c42c346f2093db1f42228e #climatechange #climatecrisis

Having fun with Makie.jl and Ferrite.jl in FerriteViz.jl. My colleague Dennis and me added support for gradient/flux visualization based on a known finite element field: https://github.com/Ferrite-FEM/FerriteViz.jl/pull/51

We started FerriteViz for teaching purposes and this PR adds very nice possibilities to it. With this PR, instabilities in mixed forms or singularities in the fluxes can be visualized. 🎉

A few weeks ago, I found an old blog post by Paul Hsieh (http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/sqroot.html#distance) and had fun playing with his proposed approximation for the norm of a 2D vector. Yesterday I finally took some time to check the derivations and had fun finding a closer approximation!

Have a look here: https://klafyvel.me/blog/articles/approximate-euclidian-norm/

The figures are drawn using #julialang and #makie, and I have included the notebook used to make them!
