Here's the comparison image from the krita page: https://docs.krita.org/en/general_concepts/colors/linear_and_gamma.html

In the left is a similar blurry circle image in sRGB color space with similar dark rings. The right image has the same coloring done in a linear color space with those issues gone.

I want to be more like the right image.

For reference, these are my "fuzzy dots" as they exist right now. You can see the dark halos around the fuzzy points.

Bring back rainbows in tech again please?

Some impromptu textures using a processed crossfade-looped vocal sample I had laying around, and some just intonation ratios. Written using #runt and #patchwerk via #monolith, with some light processing in #sox for fades.

Took my PPM backend and made it work with a #monolith framebuffer.

Fontstash also has a neat blur feature, which allows me to add text drop shadows like it is 2007.

Playing around with #fontstash, a small wrapper around stb_truetype that allows efficient rendering of truetype fonts.

Fontstash is used under the hood in #nanovg (project by the same dev) to render text, and for years this is how I indirectly interacted with it. However, I recently learned that it works just fine by itself. And while it is designed to primarily work with OpenGL, I managed to hack together a backend that renders to a PPM file instead.

Been working on humanizing clock algorithm this weekend. You can think of it as a filter... a precise master clock signal goes in, a humanized clock signal comes. The hope is to use this with some of my drum machines and sequencers to make more natural sounding beats.

As it often goes, all I have to show for it at this point is a bunch beeps. I'm adjusting the jitter amount with an LFO, and this causes the notes to go in and out of phase.

First attempt at #matcha #pudding. A little too strong and sweet, but still yummy.

Phase scrambled pianos and junk.

My #succulent has begun sprouting an antenna. Does anyone know why it's doing this?

Found it!

RT @MaxLebled@twitter.com:

FUN FACT: one of the many reasons N64 games have that distinctive look is because the hardware performed bilinear texture filtering with 3 samples instead of 4. Current texel + upper-left + bottom-right. This quirk was sometimes taken advantage of by savvy game artists!

My new workstation setup for creative computing :)

It is hardly ever this clean and tidy, so I figure I may as well take a picture for preservation purposes.

Day 2 part 2 of tortellini making. Finally done.

Now the other way (backwards shift). See if you can spot the difference :)

More work with #trig rhythmic computer. Added a rotational pattern shift operation.

This program consists of 3 cells. Cell 1 is a metapattern that transforms the bitpattern stored in cell 3. In this case, it applies 2 transformations: a forward rotational shift, and a command that updates the original pattern with the new cell.

Cell 2 is used to loop back to cell 1.

Cell 3 is the initial bit pattern of size 32.
