@digitalartform: #onthisday splines were thin strips of wood that ship designers used back in the day to plan smooth curves. They were held in place by ducks, and they relaxed into fitting minimal energy curves between important points. Nowadays we use computers and math to calculate splines.

The name of the weights has always bothered me. Every one I’ve seen either looks nothing like a duck, or a little bit like a duck but EXACTLY like a whale
