Just to add to the above: It's not a comprehensive answer, but this always was a polyglot project. There're parts written in (and for): - OpenCL interop (e.g. https://thi.ng/raymarchcl , https://thi.ng&#

Not at the moment, but I was originally planning to put out the tooling for generating these visualizations. All created from local Git repos and some additional JSON metadata, completely dogfooding various thi.ng packages/projects...

#1 It's just stinky me responsible. No AI's been used (btw. the site is from 2020), neither on the website nor for any of the projects... #2 This is potentially a Safari bug with interactive SVGs on iOS. JS usage on this site is m

FWIW this website is almost 6 years old and this is the first time I'm seeing this issue. The cubes are just simple 3D CSS animations/transitions, so not quite sure what would be causing this...

Author here. The move to TypeScript was due to multiple reasons, one of them as you mentioned. In these early years, there were very few people in the Clojure community which had an interest in these topics (general visualization/geome

Thanks - some of the reasons for giving up on LP using org-mode are here (mainly external factors): - https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/9w8i2g/orgmode_liter... - https://www.reddit.com&#

Creative computing is just a subset of computational design though and wouldn't have sufficed... also see my answer here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25263818

Thanks, Thomas! The #1 issue is that a singular entry point simply doesn't exist , largely because of the sheer number of different projects, platforms and use cases involved. The interactive tag cloud was supposed to be the main star

I didn't mean to imply that your comments are invalid, they're fair enough. Though, this is NOT a sales website, it's a springboard/archive of a body of work, spanning 15-20 years (eventually)... My sense from some of yo

This is great feedback! I've got a lot plans for those areas, but the main roadblock is personal bandwidth. This has primarily been a spare time project for the past 4-5 years... There're ~100 examples for thi.ng/umbrella alo

Happy to entertain equally succinct counter proposals :)

Ok, I think the issue is that people really just don't read anymore :) First paragraph, second sentence: "Not a framework, nor bound to any specific use case, environment or even language, it's a vast and mature set of comple

There're about 140 TS libraries vs. 70-80 Clojure/ClojureScript projects (around only half of which are libraries). I partially stopped with the Clojure work because of lack of community/support, perf & workflow issues an

Maybe I mentioned Compdes a bit too often... /shrug From this comment and others it seems maybe not many people are familiar with the meaning of the term: Design through/by computational means, incl. procedural, generative, evolut

That one is interesting indeed. I'm a bit curious about you taking issues with "manifold" and "polyglot" here: - manifold - something taking many forms - polyglot - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

Thanks for the feedback - very much confirms some of my own issues, but it's also clear that I still have to find a better solution to emphasize some key points of differentiation: 1. thi.ng is definitely not a framework - it is a

The overhead is not fixed and the 3KB are only for the default config and based on the max number of blocks one might have in flight (256 by default).

Hey, author here - this post/thread completely hit my by surprise, so apols for late reply: 1) ta_free() is only O(n) if block compaction is enabled, else it's O(1), i.e. a simple cons of the freed block addr to the free list ( ht

Re: "This incident happened -before- the EU upload filter law had passed" AFAIK this actually is only a directive and not a law just yet. As a directive it will be down to the individual governments to decide how it will be implem

Thanks & I wasn't (aware of it). hdom doesn't use `.innerHTML` anywhere, though. So I'd dare to say less dangerous... though not saying it's out of danger!

That's the thing, though, I deeply beg to differ on that and I really think your view and statement that using HTML syntax is so much better is just very subjective. Both of our projects create and manipulate the DOM. Which syntax to u

@danpeddle already pointed out the important part, but just as an addendum... It all depends what one wants to do with a browser, doesn't it? For some of my projects the browser is merely a sandbox for delivering design tools and I rea
