You could make a “spherified icosahedron” which outperformed the “spherified cube” if you wanted to have triangles with more uniform area. Having the areas of the triangles vary by a few percent really isn’t a big deal though.
I have an HN question. I submitted this link over 12 hours ago. It got no comments or upvotes. Now it's showing as being a 2 hour old link with 12 points. I don't understand. What does that mean? Can someone explain?
It happened to me too. I think recent changes in HN allow a link that got no attention to be resubmitted. Then the timing does the rest :)
