Do Apple-exclusive (or Apple-mostly) developers like their tech docs, etc? I always feel like I have a hard time finding anything I want. So much info is buried in WWDC presentations, their own docs are hard to navigate and often don't have what I want, and to top it off they also seem to have poor SEO juice so it's hard to use third-party search engines to find stuff (most of the time I find random blog posts instead).

How deep the Sphere Packing is iterated greatly affects the tune it plays.

#sonification #creativecoding #apolloniangasket

Going through the cross sections of an Apollonian Sphere Packing several times. Each times the iteration is deeper and the Animation slower. The tune gets more disconcerting.

Diatonic Music:

If I just take my integer curvatures *12/7 I force my gasket into a diatonic scale. Does it sound better?

To whoever needs to hear this:

Your blog is better without an image than with an AI-generated one. I came here to read your words — let them stand for themselves!

If you must use an image, and some soulless AI mockery would suffice, do this instead:

Step outside, and take a photo of wherever you are.

Include a lot of sky, if you can.

This implicit "here's where I am" is a better reflection of your work than whatever midjourney or stable diffusion would splort out.

my first cellular automata

Painting some red strokes that turn into a little teal and blue pattern. It looks like a circuit, or a city from above.

@spiralganglion in the latest Future of Coding episode, you were right both about what von Neumann machines are (and aren't) and that bogosort isn't funny.

Don't optimize your code. Don't bother with correctness. In fact, don't even write code, just make little machines that crawl around in gridland and feast on movables. Kill the CEO. A clever sort.

Genuary Prompt 29: Signed distance Function

Also: Monthly High-Resolution Render for Patrons of Level Square and up (25600x14400)

Octrose Pattern achieved by the Cut-and-Project Method:
An 8-D Lattice cut by a skew plane lying through it a 2-face gets projected onto the plane iff its dual 6-face intersects the plane. To check this I take all the 5-faces bounding the 6-face and check their signed distance to the plane.

some thoughts & questions about software & interoperability between tools:

unix command line tools usually are expected to produce outputs and take inputs. in between you can squeeze some other tools for conversion, filtering and so on, making sure different tools work well together. i think of these as bridges connecting otherwise mostly isolated islands, and it's what's behind the whole "do one thing and do it well" shtick. it allows re-use, composability and so on.

guis often don't work that way. you can store what you work on in a file, and if you're lucky your other tool knows about the file format. with cloud services and saas offerings oftentimes you don't even get a file because clouds are just 𝗆̶𝗂̶𝗇̶𝗈̶𝗋̶ ̶𝖾̶𝗇̶𝗏̶𝗂̶𝗋̶𝗈̶𝗇̶𝗆̶𝖾̶𝗇̶𝗍̶𝖺̶𝗅̶ ̶𝖼̶𝖺̶𝗍̶𝖺̶𝗌̶𝗍̶𝗋̶𝗈̶𝗉̶𝗁̶𝖾̶𝗌̶ compute and magic fairy dust

there are some tools that break out of this logic, such as applescript. i don't know if something like that exists on linux. or for the browser even? are there any tools that build bridges between those islands? my reading is that this is also what made the early-2010s api-mashup-apps so interesting, but is there something that tries to do this, say, for every imaginable browser tab?
