#RStats x #Weaving I'm working on some generators for threading/treadling/tie-ups to take some of the early labor out of weaving design. @weaving

#RStats CRAN ideas: "R CMD CHECK --as-cran" needs the following auto checks before submission: * extra whitespace in DESCRIPTION * all functions have "@example#rstats in Rd I figure they use them as some sort of gatekeeping shibboleth in the review process - but just make them auto-checks proir to […]

#rstats CRAN Musings: Are CRAN making things harder for themselves? 1. Submitted {nara} to CRAN 8 days ago 2. Rejected 4 days ago because of * One extra space in DESCRIPTION * I didn't acknowledge author of *public domain* code I used 3. Fixed. Resubmitted. 4. Still waiting 3 days later.

#RStats x #Weaving = Now looking like a real weave! Warp & Weft both: * Wes Anderson palletes (Royal2, Zissou1) * Mirrored Fibonnaci spacing @weaving

#RStats x #Weaving Purely random weaving is not very pleasant or interesting. Looks like static for an 8-bit video game! @weaving

#RStats x #Weaving - First attempt at a twill generator Now including some R code of how this is generated @weaving

We have a fun new paper to appear at SIGGRAPH 2026, led by Columbia PhD student Xiana Carrera, that extends dual contouring to work nicely with [pure] signed distance samples. It avoids classic DC's additional requirement of providing accurate Hermite / […] [Original post on mastodon.acm.org]

#RStats x #Weaving Warp threads can now be tied to multiple arbitrary shafts, which means that this is now a fully programmable digital jacquard loom @weaving

#RStats x #Weaving Digital render of a classic houndstooth on a 2-shaft loom. Smoothing out the interface and data structures, but it's still a bit rough. @weaving

#RStats x #Weaving = #MadFun 1. Digital Weaving output 2. R code to produce weaving 3. Inspiration draft @weaving

#RStats x #Weaving = #MadFun 1. Digital Weaving output 2. R code to produce weaving 3. Inspiration draft @weaving

#rstats x #weaving realisation I can simulate a programmable jacquard-style loom just but allowing for an unbounded number of shafts and a treadle which ties up to each shaft in turn - which is easy when its all just numbers on a computer!

#rstats CRAN question - If I include code that is explicitly in the public domain, do I have to include authors as part of the Authors@R in the DESCRIPTION? The code is in the public domain. The author didn't actively contribute to the package. Nor are they a copyright owner.

#rstats x #weaving I can now render a reasonable weaving "draft" diagram in R to use as a worksheet. Here I'm rendering the houndstooth drawdown in pen on a printout. @weaving #rloom

#rstats A follow-up on the AI PR I got on {insitu} I closed the PR as "AI generated garbage". The AI agreed with me. Bloody useless slop.

#RStats security issue in {insitu} I just received this AI-generated PR, which posits that a crafty user could lie about matrix dimensions and cause a malloc issue. But a malicious user can just do a "system()" call. So what's the point of addressing this […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

ANyone know a good CONTRIBUTING.md (or similar) that I can add to my projects such that: * Issues and PRs have to be from humans. * I don't mind if you use AI, but don't just auto-drench my repository with AI generated reports. #rstats

RE: https://mastodon.social/@eliocamp/116560174152329157 Ah, I've just realised that this doesn't even work. Adding more new artists to your catalogue would increase inequality, because you would have more artists with few listens. So, if you listen to one artist 1000 times and to two other […]
