>But then, if you drop out an algorithm that does that, handle it to users, would their results be art ?

in the same respect, did someone not create art in photoshop because they used some fractal noise?

I've had this conversation and thought about it a lot for what I'm doing and come to this conclusion.

art can be directed, it can be accidental, it can be both (every artist loves a happy accident), it can be because of a million iterations whether by hand or computer.

it's up to you, the viewer to decide if you think the end result is good art.

Yeah, it wasn't that helpful. In the last few weeks they made it so you can right click on a page once opened in a container and "always open in this container"

also firefox "containers" now allow you to use a separate cookie set for different domains.

They're hard to see because of their coat, move quickly and erratically and they're pretty much all muscle.

I'm not surprised they get hit as often as they do particularly at night.

I'm guessing the difference between this and something like pepakura (http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/) is it doesn't use cuts?

They're both very flawed in different ways.

Blogs have have plenty of incentive to be quick, but not correct.

From time to time they have incentive to be incorrect too. An apology, retraction, etc is just more ad revenue at the end of the day.

I recommend these too:

Coding Challenge #21: Mandelbrot Set with p5.js - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z7GQewK-Ks

VEX IN HOUDINI: MANDELBROT AND MANDELBULB - https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/vex-in-houdini-mandelbrot-a...

The second link is Houdini specific but you should be able to follow along with the free version on win/linux/osx.

There was also the corner miniseries too!

Totally with you, season 2 is my least favorite. But it's also not immediately clear the direction the show is taking at that point.

As each season expands in scope and by the end you feel like you've watched the story of a city you really appreciate it much more.

Android version is also out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.keybase.oss...

I've ended up just moving the messenger into a fluid (osx) window on my status bar and not having the site in my browser all the time has helped a lot.

Being able to pop down just the messages with a click and back off straight after means I'm only going to the site every other day to check the notifications for a few minutes.

When the first tab on your website is "Privacy", don't make "Read notifications" the default.

From the http request you're taking all kinds of metadata to your server. I don't want to add my PGP key in here to check, but I assume this is default for PGP messages too?

There is some interesting visualizers out there but all the REALLY interesting work is being done live and in realtime as performance (VJ'ing) instead.

Take a look at this.

Unity being used in realtime with a pepper's ghost projection.

I'd say they're not crap because they're Chinese.

Cheap is top of most peoples wish list when shopping and China can do cheap. Cheap tends to be the enemy of quality.

I'd probably take a look at Touch Designer or Unity for sound reactive stuff now.

Keijiro Takahashi at Unity Japan has a great github repository full of relevant libraries.

Some of that gear may be worth more than you might expect.

The V4s still sell quite well for some reason, some of the other analog gear is still in demand for circuit bending.

If the projectors are decent they can still hire pretty well too.

This is exactly where I'm stuck right now.

Using a hackintosh for mapping/vj'ing as the off the shelf hardware isn't at all practical and I want to keep using OSX only software.

Honestly it's a nightmare.

I want as many video outputs as possible, enough power to run multiple layers of video, be running game engines at the same time, transcode a video in a pinch and more.

Switching to windows is probably the only option going forward.

I agree and usually we don't have a good and approachable open alternative to push. I genuinely think matrix and riot.im tick all the boxes this time though.

for those of us who can't keep of track of which software named "xOS" is which anymore:

    IncludeOS is an includable, minimal unikernel operating system for C++ services running in the cloud. We provide a bootloader, standard libraries and the build- and deployment system. You just provide the service.

issue seems to have stopped after a full refresh, was having it earlier on two machines (10.11 and 10.12).

Perhaps the earlier fix also solved that one too.

thanks, that has fixed the firefox download page/login issues.

On Safari your google/facebook login options aren't working either. App itself looks very promising though :)

Anyone able to use anything on this site in Firefox? No luck here even with most of my addons disabled.

exactly. As an Australian living in an area with many recent measles outbreaks in schools that doctors blame anti-vacination campaigners for (admittedly there is not enough research at this point to conclusively blame this solely) I'm all for this.

Our area also has a very large elderly population that are being put at risk because of this.

Octane is the only real example of this I can think of. Nearly every other tool I use is openCL.

This - EFA might even worth be asking who might be a good person to represent you.

You're doing the right thing, please look out for yourself though!

You're pretty much inviting media in on this now before you're ready.

Delete post, it's a short list here in AU and I know which one of them I'd look at first. Get more legal advice before going any further.

Yup, mine has been on my keys and in use for nearly 6 years now and it works just as well as it did the day I bought it.

I have 13 more if these run out.

even moreso in a thread about keybase which actively tries to solve just that problem.

taking a quick look at it now, reminds me a lot of Maxwell. Appleseed is quite an impressive renderer already!
