I like art and numerics... and graphics algorithms... and animation ... and optical simulation ... and social responsibility in tech

Bonjour 
Je suis Floriane, aquarelliste et romancière de l’imaginaire.
Après 7 ans comme architecte, je me concentre sur mes pinceaux et lance mon activité. Mon univers est qualifié de doux et poétique.
J’adore partager au fil de la création : concept, croquis, recherche, échec, doute et réussite.
What I if told you
You the read first line wrong?
Same the with second line
And also the third...
ok, more #InkPrint experiments. Prepared a bunch of new variations on the original recipe using different sources of Fe3+ (ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, and mixtures of both) and different acids (oxalic, citric, tartaric and maleic). Once I have the energy I'mma coat them onto some paper and do text exposures. I'm especially curious to see what's going on with the mix of ferric sulfate and ferric chloride in the original recipe and if that actually does something

Here it is, my yearly repost of my one Easter illo (or as I like to call it, chocolate day)! Cause I still think it's pretty funny (where DOES he gets the eggs from?)
Mieux vaut taire la colère. Les mots blessants, indélébiles, portent à l’équilibre la balance des peines de qui les ouït, de qui les dit. Mieux vaut taire la colère. Le temps efface les mots qui ne sont pas dits.
Been unhappy with the use of "parent/child" to describe relationships in tree data structures for a while, for many reasons: anthropomorphism, mixed metaphors, may sound confusing and unsettling to the uninitiated.
So I've been looking for an alternative. Stick to the tree metaphor, you get crotch/branch, which is ... not optimal.
The latest one that i liked is hub/spoke, borrowed from terms of wheel construction. It was monosyllabic and celebrated engineering culture.

A dream come true: to see my art in a museum! 
It's the portrait I painted of Charles Darwin.

NEW COMMUNITY PROJECT! In March we revisited DOOM, the game with which we started the club all the way back in 2017.
During this month the club took it upon themselves to put together a complete custom episode WAD for vanilla Doom 1.
Nine people contributed work on putting together 8 maps, 1 secret map and a custom MIDI intermission track.
We're very proud of our awesome community and we hope you'll check out what we put together for you all!
Onion blues.
I'm making a little series of veggie paintings (3 probably?) to hang in our kitchen, this is the first one. Watercolor and gouache on paper.
Hey fedi, so I have this cheap doohickey for using computers away from a desk. It's got a touch pad and keys and is absolutely the right solution for the problem
But it sucks. The keys start bad and if used too much stop registering reliably, the touch pad ain't great, and it keeps losing connection to the dongle despite it being like 8 feet away
Is there some kind of premium version of these that exists? So far I've only ever seen the terrible dirt cheap ones for sale anywhere
(If you don't mind plz boost for reach I am *desperate*)
EDIT: to be clear the handheld/gamepad-like form factor is what makes this work so a more traditionally keyboard shaped device with an additional trackpad isn't really a suitable replacement
I have a discrete NxN grid and a potentially infinite supply of specimens. I want to place specimens on the grid at randomly selected points until no more can be placed: "no more" because each specimen has a neighborhood radius r_i such that no other specimens may be placed within that radius. (Different specimens have different r_i.) I have a brute-force algorithm for doing this with O(N^3) running time. Is there a better one? I value simplicity over speed, and pseudocode or Python over either.
