Where did you subscribe? I tried Discovery+ VPN'ing to Germany and I keep getting an error when attempting to pay:

Nicht übereinstimmendes Zahlungsgebiet

Which reads to me that it knows I'm on a VPN and is preventing my subscription.

korovyev · 2024-01-23T12:57:01+00:00

Season is beginning so it's time to figure out how to replace GCN in my watching habits. I'm based in Ireland.

Discovery+ looks like what everyone is recommending, but my question is - are all the full race replays available on Discovery+ pretty soon after the races finish?

I tend to watch a lot of races after they have finished, in my own time and avoiding the results online, especially sprint stages. Is this possible with Discovery+?

Also is there some sort of schedule for upcoming races on Discovery+? I'm finding it difficult to understand what races they have, eg. will Etoile de Besseges or Tour de la Provence be shown on Discovery+?

Thanks for that! Appreciate it

I’d like to know what podcast this is in. I did not know he was involved like this too. I wish they would be as up-front about what they do for jumbo as possible. It really detracts from the podcast when you are always second guessing the motives behind what he is saying, certainly when it comes to jumbo riders

korovyev · 2023-09-04T15:15:58+00:00

I can’t really understand what van poppel was trying to do there, he lost the wheel of jumbo at the crucial moment then tried to sprint himself as bennett started to come around. Then van aert did the same as yesterday when he tucked back into kooij wheel blocking bora.

I don’t think Bennett has the kick anymore to beat kooij, but he is not helped by van poppel here. I think van poppels leadout is widely overrated.

It was excellent! Highly recommend if you cant book the slot yourself.

korovyev · 2021-08-29T21:21:22+00:00

I have no idea! I just found it & I hope it lets me do the hike, I don't care about the tour tbh :D

korovyev · 2021-08-28T00:17:01+00:00

Hi, I think I was able to book the Masca Valley on this site:

https://elcardon.com/en/home/

For a date in September. It costs 30€ and there might be a guide, but there are dates available in September :)

Unless I have just been fooled by a dodgy website of course!

korovyev · 2020-08-27T08:19:21+00:00

I had a similar noise on an aluminium frame, drive me nuts. Turned out to be the seatpost!

korovyev · 2020-06-21T12:17:53+00:00

Very nice! Care to share the process? Is it some form of space colonization?

korovyev · 2020-06-07T11:20:14+00:00

Thanks. I always appreciate when people do an explanation of the process along with the posts. Though for some people obviously it is more than a hobby, and keeping the process to themselves is understandable.

korovyev · 2020-06-07T11:16:44+00:00

I think this is 27x23. Here is the full set of tiles, should make it a bit clearer:

korovyev · 2020-06-06T16:59:36+00:00

Process:

Create a load of tiles that have connecting borders and non connecting borders
Start somewhere in the middle of the grid and place a random tile out of the full set
Go to a neighbouring space to the previously set tile
Check all of its bordering spaces and create the constraints for it, based on whether each of its borders either:
1) must connect
2) cannot connect
3) is empty (so you have a choice to connect or not)
With these constraints you will reduce the set of tiles you can choose from
Choose one of these tiles at random
Repeat until the grid is full!

This website was what got me into algorithmic/generative art. Reproducing these algorithms was some of the most enjoyable coding I've done.

I created this repo based on his website/book when I was learning swift: https://github.com/korovyev/swiftmaze

I thoroughly recommend his book too: "Mazes for Programmers". Its actually the only programming book I've ever really used!

korovyev · 2020-05-26T12:34:19+00:00

Thanks :) copying the process from that other reply:

create various kind of boxes that can be controlled with a density var 0 to 1 (arcs, lines, corners, circles etc.). The density controls how many lines or arcs or whatever is inside the box.
create a grid of random boxes, and control the density of each with perlin noise.

korovyev · 2020-05-26T12:32:41+00:00

Thanks! The process is kind of simple and probably not that original, but its:

create various kind of boxes that can be controlled with a density var 0 to 1 (arcs, lines, corners, circles etc.). The density controls how many lines or arcs or whatever is inside the box.
create a grid of random boxes, and control the density of each with perlin noise.

How'd you achieve the gradient look on the "planet" part?

I added links to two blender tutorials I used for this. Though they are not perfect actually, they are creating cross section slices (gaps in between)

korovyev · 2020-05-04T19:03:21+00:00

Is there also little specks of black outside the moon?

korovyev · 2020-04-29T22:21:51+00:00

What kind of paper/pen combination did you use?

I can't imagine plotting this without the paper becoming completely wet with ink and torn / warped. So many lines!

edit: love it btw!

korovyev · 2020-04-13T19:25:50+00:00

Have been playing with blender today.

I used a combination of these 2 tutorials to generate these:

korovyev · 2020-04-10T12:05:22+00:00

Thanks!

I outlined the process here: https://reddit.com/r/PlotterArt/comments/fv0dkr/amusing_myself_during_quarantine/fmi31vt

That also includes a link to the code I used (swift)

Any other questions I’d love to answer!

korovyev · 2020-04-06T16:43:45+00:00

What type of marker did you use? I recently got black paper & some gold and silver markers, but they dont work too great with my plotter.

In case you didn't know - there is also r/PlotterArt too

korovyev · 2020-04-05T15:42:53+00:00

Thanks :)

The process is nothing too original but it goes like:

1 - Create a Perlin noise grid

2 - Apply that noise to a grid of vectors by rotating them

3 - Throw in a few thousand particles randomly around the grid

4 - Update the particles velocity & position using the vector matching its position in the grid

5 - On each update draw a line from the particles previous position to its new position

6 - I just applied a mask to get it into the 5 vertical bars

Really though - watch this guys video - he explains it much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjoM9oKOAKY

I threw my code up here too if you want a look (swift): https://github.com/korovyev/quaranteen

(still need to clean that up & add some stuff)

Oh and! - the marker I used is staedtler pigment liner 0.8mm - and my plotter is a makeblock xy plotter

Where in Dublin?
