If you consider the patterns in nature to be art (which I do!), you might enjoy the book "The Computational Beauty of Nature" by Gary William Flake. [0]
The subtitle is "Computer Explorations of Fractals, Chaos, Complex Systems, and Adaptation".
It's a wonderful book to own as a physical copy, and the contents are very inspiring for generative art.

Looks nice! Any chance of a side-by-side mode?
I am experiencing problems with API requests.

Andrej Karpathy made an interesting comment on the same paper: https://x.com/karpathy/status/1980397031542989305
This story reminded me of the "BeBox" [0] PowerPC computer from the 1990's, which had Blinkenlights on its front bezel.
(It ran the very cool "BeOS" operating system[1], which was eventually ported to Mac, then x86.)
As a C programmer, declarations in Go appeared "backwards" to me when I first saw them.
IMO the Go syntax is a vast improvement as it's much simpler and avoids the clockwise/spiral issue: https://appliedgo.com/blog/go-declaration-syntax
Yes, this is indeed a different situation and my comment doesn't make that clear. Thank for pointing that out. I've made an edit.
America/Nuuk does daylight savings at -01:00 (yes, with a negative)
Somewhat related: Europe/Dublin has a negative DST offset. Irish DST runs through the European winter (i.e. the opposite of the other European timezones).
(More details here: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/56743#issuecomment-13157... )
Edit: To be clear: the quote is referring to a negative DST start, rather than a negative DST offset.
The music at many concerts and nightclubs is unfortunately loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss.
Ear plugs reduce the volume to a level where you can still hear the music, but the risk of long term damage is reduced. (You can get "musician's ear plugs" which attenuate all frequencies equally, so they don't make the music sound weird.)
But not over a cable.
Submarine cables are clearly marked on nautical charts, and even recreational boaters know not to anchor in those areas.
A professional trawler captain is not going to accidentally trawl over such an area.
Fees such as trading costs are a percentage of trading volume.
Therefore, the more money you are managing, the higher your trading costs. (i.e those costs are "fixed" but its a "fixed percentage" rather than a static number.)
Endlessh periodically sends data so the read timeout won't trigger. Specifically, it draws out the crypto negotiation stage indefinitely by exploiting a feature of the SSH protocol.
(Of course, the bot author could detect that behaviour too.)
There's more info from the author of Endlessh: https://nullprogram.com/blog/2019/03/22/
For those wondering how they transfer the generated energy from the tidal kite to the shore:
The turbine shaft turns the [onboard] generator which outputs electricity to the grid via a power cable in the tether and a seabed umbilical to the shore.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a clear and succinct readme.
I really liked the layout:
- Why
- How Lockbox helps
- Main benefits
- Drawbacks
- How to run
- Design philosophy
Out of interest, what did you use all that compute for?
I've been using GIMP for well over a decade, and the UI still deeply frustrating.
When I see what Blender has achieved over that time, I wish GIMP could have done the same.
Here's the Twitter thread (by Gergely Orosz) that TechCrunch got the news from: https://twitter.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1640585325192912898
An explanation of what GNUstep is (and what it is not):
Really interesting read. Especially the suggestion for how to support iterators.
It should be noted that the writeup is a year old, which (understandably) means that the comments on generics are a little out of date.
Agreed. Anything that simplifies the build process and leads to less custom tooling is very welcome.
If there are projects where you don't want to reveal this info in the binary, you can turn the feature off with:
-buildinfo=false
In case any readers were wondering, Blender LTS Release 2.93 has native support for Apple Silicon.
I haven't read The Embedded Entrepreneur yet, but I can recommend "Zero to Sold" by Arvid. (Zero to Sold isn't specifically "audience first", but TEE is).
FWIW, apart from his books, he also does a lot to encourage and promote other founders. He seems like a decent guy.
This is great. I particularly like the Bauhaus styles. Excellent work :)
Kudos for the SVG download option too!
Agreed.
The adoption rate is even higher in Oslo. I've seen some residential streets where 80% of the parked vehicles are EVs.
Sad news :(
His work was incredible. He was also impressively prolific. Wikipedia lists 77 albums.

In the article they say:
The “punk” in Solarpunk is about rebellion, counterculture, post-capitalism, decolonialism and enthusiasm. It is about going in a different direction than the mainstream, which is increasingly going in a scary direction.
For anyone unfamiliar with the term (like me!), Wikipedia says Eproctoring is:
[...] a form of exam proctoring which involves monitoring student behaviour during exams administered electronically [...]
