I absolutely prefer "boring" tech. Thanks for the kind words.

Let me know if you do anything cool with it! I just got text working, which is very exciting. It was surprisingly easy, too. 1) Render text to a high resolution 1-bit array using PIL 2) Compute the distance transform using scipy 3) Do some

Yes, I'm well aware of libfive! I'm not doing anything special for sharp geometry. For now you just need to use sufficient resolution until it looks "good enough." Normals are just based on the triangle normals.

Hi HN. Well, I wanted to make a 3D model and 3D print it, but I just didn't want to use OpenSCAD. So I ended up making a whole new 3D modeling library based on signed distance functions. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out so

BigQuery has a sample table, natality, that has all recorded births in the US from 1969 to 2008. It includes apgar_1min and apgar_5min fields. https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/public-data (Fun fact: I was actually abl

How will this get into the hands of those who could use it?

Wow, even with definitions! That looks like a better version of a game I made years ago where you have to pick out the real word from four options. The three "non-words" are generated by Markov chains: https://www.micha

The emissions test study is interesting to me because in college I had a shitty car that overheated during inspection. The inspector seemed to go out of his way to help (fiddling with the radiator) and the inspection passed.

You should explain what kinds of fractals these are (are they L-systems?) and how you go about crossing them.

To be fair, the # of infected never died off completely (the simulation didn't run long enough)
74.
by fogleman 7y ago
It also doesn't consider that many of the infected are asymptomatic, so they won't be "revealed" within the 11 day period.

A little weird that you didn't mention Go, which seems to fall exactly in the category of "a simple, modern, well-designed C"

It'd be nice to be able to "unlock" this heightened awareness after you've become dulled - any ideas how to do that?

And Go put a lot of effort into the standard library by the looks of it.

Funnily enough, I'm getting a "Service Unavailable" right now (on the front page).

Higher resolution images are coming, and some will have better shadows that will reveal more detail.

Thank you!

Haha, fair enough. There's certainly a balance to be made.

In an alternate reality, I made the solutions more performant and you criticized them for being too verbose.

OP here. I really enjoyed reading through Peter Norvig's AoC solutions a while back: https://github.com/norvig/pytudes/blob/master/ipynb/Advent%2... I'm no Norvig, but I thought I'd t

Indeed. I mentioned that in the README: https://github.com/fogleman/primitive#inspiration

The core of Primitive is open source, written in Go. https://github.com/fogleman/primitive Only the UI is closed source. It's written in Objective-C and basically shells out to the Go code.

Try running server.py locally. Then check out builder.py which will send commands to your server to change blocks. You can rapidly build all sorts of shapes with a few function calls. https://github.com/fogleman/Craft&#
