Not particularly nice, working hard to be kind.

Feel free to follow me if you want pretty pictures, snark, rage, and a bias towards being kind.

I feel the need to make some of these signs. I have some colleagues who try to excuse their shitty positions by claiming they're just playing devil's advocate.
It feels a bit early for the cherry tree, but here we are.

More #generativeart goodness with a rendering of my edge intersection detector in action.

The red curve is 1000 segments inserted into a quadtree.

The blue curve are 1000 segments that test for intersections with the red curve.

The green dots are the detected intersections.

In python the quadtree construction and intersection testing takes 186ms.

The tree has a soft limit of 3 edges per node that it's allowed to exceed if the nodes get too small.

i seriously doubt that this is anything but a scam. The state of Michigan is extremely unlikely to collect fines this way.

The mountain is being coy.
Last night i heard some loud noises outside and thought it was the branch that took out my lawn furniture. Turns out i was wrong, the sounds i heard were two trees falling on a a row of three house across the street. Fortunately nobody home in the first two houses, so nobody was hurt. The third house didn’t suffer serious damage.
Prettier rendering of the intersection tester for my #generativeart project.
Continuing on the #generativeart madness. Testing that the splitter works correctly.
The progress towards efficient collision detection continues. This is some testing supporting a quadtree implementation for line-line intersection testing. Since I'm generating tens of thousands of line segments, efficient intersection testing in really important.
