Thanks for all the report from mastodon.world, a couple more and we'll silence the instance for a bit while they deal with it.

Someone taught me how to approx distance between two points without sqrt. max(abs(x),abs(y)) + min(abs(x),abs(y))/2 https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/decadv/tree/main/item/tcc/day5.tal#L50

 @neauoire If you scale by 15/16 (which is very simple with integers!), you get an average better result: I've come to associate this time of year to hanging with friends on their cozy wooden boat drinking mulled wine and playing card games. For today's #lovebytetcc, I made it so the snow accumulates on the tree in 450 bytes. It's fun to revisit these challenges with more familiarity with the #uxn ecosystem.  Caught up with Day 4 of #lovebytetcc, the effect turned out nice. Pretty and trippy. @neauoire I remember sitting in front of the computer as a kid (with no real skills whatsoever, just getting those first pixels to who up) wondering how the heck you'd get snowy pixels to accumulate... if will always feels like a magical thing to me! 😍   I realize that there's spam from .social going on, if this goes on for longer I'll silence the instance for a few days while they get their shit sorted. Decided to start on #lovebytetcc. A tree in 159 bytes of #uxn assembled directly in my little flow-based operating system designed to do livecoding stuff. O partigiano, portami via 👏 Passing data to and from the menu bar program is working :uxn: Installed a third 12v outlet in the saloon, so we've replaced the inline fuses with a fusebox. Looks a not neater.  Really happy with how the status bar communicates with the os and reflect the state of the cursor action. @neauoire @neauoire Good luck! Can recommend the Colligo lashings for tensioning them: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/63ed7dd73a616629fb44e69a/t/63fa5f2b8d43376876612efe/1677352760271/ColligoLashinginstructionsRev1_3.pdf Although it looks like you've kept the turnbuckles! :) My super power: Checking into hotels for events under an alias, without any proof of identification, having forgotten to tell the event organizer that it's a handle, and succeeding in getting access to my room.

   @neauoire my experience with designers at big companies is that they’re vastly outnumbered by engineers and overworked across many projects, so a lot of this design mayhem is just programmers doing their best to make things work. Designers don’t get enough recognition or remuneration in the industry. Really sad. nothing brings my thinkpad to its knees as much as Squeak, holy shit is that thing every slow.  Writing a menu bar rom that will reflect the various states of the operating system. It's also the uxn instance that holds the network of connections of active varvara instances. It's nice to have all this stuff visible from within that uxn's own memory. |
