Thanks to @made I recently learned that dynamic code generation doesn't play nice with certain Content Security Policies (CSP). This has a major impact on a few core packages in #ThingUmbrella, like the thi.ng/vectors package which contains ~900 vector functions, most of them code generated and optimized for different vector sizes/dimensions (incl. n-dimensional versions). This package (and some others using a similar approach) are key dependencies for dozens of other geometry/visualization related packages... However, I found code generation the only way to practically manage & maintain the sheer amount of functionality provided.

Because of this (CSP impact), I've been working on a new code generator, which converts the dynamically generated code into statically generated source code files. This will make the overall initial package size bigger, but this shouldn't be a major problem in practice, since there're also very positive effects, including:

- The new format allows for doc strings for _all_ generated vector ops (with the dynamic approach there was no way to properly attach those in TypeScript)
- The new file structure (single function per source file) massively helps with dead code elimination when using a bundler, resulting in smaller final file/bundle sizes. When NOT using a bundler, similar filesize savings can be had by using direct imports (to individual functions) rather than full package imports
- None of the unused versions need to be code generated at runtime anymore, so also improving startup time

The new codegen is already covering around more than a third of the 900 ops. If you want to keep an eye on progress & discussion, follow this issue:

ITs History!
The #Atari 1200XL was a 8bit #homecomputer running a #MOS 6502 #CPU at 1.79 MHz. When this beautiful machine was launched in 1983 with 64Kb RAM the price was under thousand dollars, but... https://youtu.be/JyA5tA5mmYY

$omehow, in the #8bitwar the #C64 was much more popular even when specs been almost the same. The difference in #BASIC language was less significant for the success. Most likely that competition was won by #Commodore because Jack Tramiel took the advice of his grandfather so serious.

ITs History!
The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

Hello fine #Fedifolk ^__^

This illustration is inspired by a #documentation on the benefits of returning #wolves to #Scotland, they could hold the deer (and sheep!?) population in check so natural forests could regrow! Just imagine the #highlands a huge forest!

Enjoyed this? Consider tipping me! ☕ ✨ https://ko-fi.com/jfml_jfml

Vector illustration with outlines (new terrain for me!) showing a bird's eye view of a rural landscape with lots of forest that forms the head of a wolf (the ears are mountains, the eyes and nose are lakes etc). It's night with a moon, no cars but public transport (train and bus). Around it is written: „Return the wolf, let nature heal.“
Detail of the illustration showing a lone, howling wolf atop the lake that is the wolf's nose as well as a stone circle and a night bus on the way to the village.
Detail of the illustration showing one of the lakes that form the wolf's eyes with a village next to it.
Detail of the illustration described before showing a river valley with a train going over a river, the ocean with a ferry, some solar turbines and the moon.

Off the Record

As a kid, I found this image super fascinating. At some point, maybe around 12-13, I got a camera for a birthday or so. This was probably the first image I tried to re-create using a very cheap, fixed-focus camera shooting on 110-film. Imagine my disappointment when the prints came back from processing.

One of the greatest LP sleeves.

Based on the original artwork by the UK artist Terry Pastor.
