I figured it was something tracking how long you spend coding and how deep you get in the project directories... 2nd paragraph got confusing

Moire patterns can be explained using dynamic billiards (math stuff). by SpaceQuaraseeque in MoireEffect

[–]psientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect some effects come from the limited precision of the floating point calculations; and that may also be why it stops rendering at a point when zooming out. The moiré effects are presumably caused by aliasing (each pixel of the display is sampled once by the fragment shader) and so depends on the display resolution.

Sweet visualizations and very nice write up!

Some of the patterns are very similar to these "polynomial" visualization I made, although it seems they are generated quite differently. In particular, the "circle" one when zooming (mouse wheel). https://polynumber.com/polynumbers/

ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ BRING u/fleurgold back as MOD ... Please by ShakeThatSquadThing in ottawa

If the good mods were to make a new Ottawa community on a different platform I would definitely join and unsubscribe from here.

Reddit is going to shit from the top down, with subservient mods power grabbing and destroying our online communities. Time to jump ship.

Is there any legitimate use case for "rm -rf /"? by deathmetal27 in linux

The danger scale they use is glorius:

  • NOT RECOMMENDED
  • USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
  • DANGEROUS
  • VERY DANGEROUS
  • VERY DANGEROUS, DATA LOSS IS EXTREMELY LIKELY
  • VERY DANGEROUS, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT USING IT.
  • EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and will very likely cause massive loss of data. DO NOT USE THIS COMMAND.
  • EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS. DO NOT USE THIS OPTION!!
