While I loved a lot of things at the conference, probably the most fun I had was back at the airbnb after skipping day 1, with three of us doing stuff in the kitchen in parallel. we got amazing from-scratch hot chocolate, tasty cookies, and excellent bolognese out of that evening.

look i just wanna know if @baileytownsend.dev got #1

Thrilled to see Dan @makeitdoathing.com has finally opened the glitchwear.store store for his one-of-a-kind, computationally generated, buyer-customized knitwear. I'm delighted to confirm that these are gorgeous and comfortable garments, too.

I set the table real swan of damocles just like you asked

_very_ alpha, but I've been messing with an atproto backfill/sync solution built on @cloudflare.social — currently has a couple caveats, and needs some work and docs, but the bones are there

CfP is open! May 1 — CFP closes May 15 — candidates notified June 1 — speakers announced June 15 — schedule announced We want to hear from YOU!

when i drop a release, my singular hope is that folks look at it and conclude a developer died for this feature

…but for real, you can help keep this alive if you want: github.com/sponsors/uni... ko-fi.com/bad_example

is my dream job just building observability tooling for SREs

Pleased to announce many excellent new additions to my archive of procedural single-stroke fonts for #p5js and #plotterArt — including ISO-3098; two kanji/hanzi fonts, each with 4K+ glyphs; Licia He's new DearPlotter font; and Jongmin Kim's variable LeonSans stroke font: github.com/golanlevin/p...

Help! All I see is posters of a far more beloved and romanceable station than myself!

some wip bsky themed jewelry for atproto friends. if you see them rocking it at atmosphereconf, please thank them for all they do 🫶

I made a #Clojure port of this gorgeous coordinate free technique for drawing circular arc splines in PGA2D using #geometer. It will be included in the examples for the library… www.youtube.com/watch?v=m317...

What are your favorite visual critiques of software? On my mind right now are: 1. "The long tail of user needs" 2. diSessa's monolithic apps vs computational media 3. (a recent favorite by @todepond.com) "wish these apps could talk to each other"

we (palantir) can just do things (sell our silly trucks to the united states military)

by far, the worst thing about communities is that they are composed of people

just invented the concept of a "steganography bro" and i am instantly enamored with it

PDS hosting orgs not re-invent @baileytownsend.dev's pdsmoover.com but worse - challenge level: impossible. If you don't like the cow, just rebrand it, or use the library. Toss Bailey a GitHub sponsorship! Migration is the spot a person can brick their atproto identity, don't reinvent the wheel!

Preparing for class and remembering how brilliant this essay is: persci.mit.edu/pub_pdfs/sha... - "The perception of shading and reflectance" (Adelson & Pentland, 1996). Early and beautiful description of Bayesian perception theories.

Taper #15 is out. Each issue contains tiny computational poems centered around a theme. The complete code must be under 2Kb. One of my pieces in the issue is an interactive erasure of Shakespeare's Sonnet 15, in which only half the poem can ever be visible at once. taper.badquar.to/15/sonnet15....

And with more realistic renders, we can also do better device-specific image restoration.

Ray marching is a common approach to GPU-accelerated volume rendering, but gives biased transmittance estimates. My new #SIGGRAPHAsia paper (+code) proposes an amazingly simple formula to eliminate this bias almost completely without using more samples. momentsingraphics.de/SiggraphAsia...
