I just discovered one can follow our channel from Mastodon: @in_conversations_collections I find it cool that ActivityPub services can interact with each other :)
I hope we get back to recording at the end of this month after my first solo code+art exhibition ^_^
If you’re working with external web APIs do I have the #JetBrains feature for you. With the new #WireMock plugin, you can mock any external API and test against it.
This makes it really easy to try different edge cases or replay failed request/response scenarios. Works in all IDEs starting in the 2024.1 release. You can try it now in the EAP releases.
I just finished writing a code test which creates and queues for delivery an end-to-end encrypted email-like message in somewhere around 10-15 lines of #Kotlin code.
Think about it. It's starting getting real. SQUEEEE!!!
Today's experiment turned out rather #dark even if I don't feel so apocalyptic. The code is almost identical to yesterday's, but I replaced the blend mode Add by Xor. How would you describe this? #CreativeCoding#OPENRNDR#Kotlin#gothic#winter
Testing how many lines I can animate simultaneously. I increased the number of lines and vertices but CPU and GPU usage barely changed. Next I will test it in the target tablet (weaker CPU and GPU) and see what happens there.
One thing I don't like with .NET (at least in C#) is the lack of innovation that we see in other languages such as Java, Go, and Rust. Reading link aggregators to blog posts about C# just gives me the impression that the same ideas and thoughts are repeated over and over.
This one maybe took half hour to paint. After spending such a long time shapes start to emerge, as if I had shot many photos of the same location using the same negative.
I find interesting that I decide which area to paint without seeing the hidden video, quickly searching for colors and moving the pointer trying to achieve certain effects, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Like a game with unknown rules.
