Viewing profile — metaphorical

An experimental python library I've been working on and off as a side project for years (mostly procrastinating). It's a follow-up of Pts.js, with the intent to explore more on vis…

Along the similar approach in defamiliarization, there's also Chindogu: https://www.tofugu.com/japan/chindogu-japanese-inventions/

An excellent intro to geometric algrebra

Yes, canvas is faster and I think d3 now supports canvas too, right? d3 will give you a lot more support for data manipulations, but (if I may say so) creating highly customized vi…

Thank you! It started as a somewhat speculative personal project so I'm really grateful to hear that it resonates with you and others. I'm building another library on top of this -…

Thank you so much. I would love to see the visualizer you made! Really glad to hear the docs are working as intended too.

It's difficult to compare. I love processing/p5 and it's very easy to learn and has a vibrant community and lots of add-ons. It's also a great education tool. Pts is a more opinion…

Thanks! The scrolling seems like a bug that was related to recent changes. I opened an issue here: https://github.com/williamngan/pts/issues/140

Hi HN, Pts is one of my late-night personal projects :) Thanks for posting. Happy to answer any questions.

TikTok left Hong Kong because HK is a tiny market, and they wouldn't want the PR backblash if they had to share HK data with CCP. There's evidence that Bytedance is not independent…

In 2018, Bytedance CEO released a public statement after an incident with the CCP censor. In that statement, he promised that Bytedance apps would strengthen "the work of Party con…

My favorite quote from Klee: "Art does not reproduce the visible but makes visible." His shorter Pedagogical Sketchbook is also worth a read.

Reminds me of that W. B. Yeats poem that also seems relevant for the world we're heading towards: --- When Loie Fuller’s Chinese dancers enwound A shining web, a floating ribbon of…

Look like spreading fake news through China Daily via Twitter Ads is not even enough for them.

Who is "some"?

I would also recommend Borges' Norton Lectures. It provides a lot of unique insights about his creative process. https://www.amazon.com/Craft-Verse-Charles-Norton-Lectures/d...

It has Pts specific autocomplete too :)

There's no need to learn typescript. You can use it like a good old js library by including it in script tag. But you're right that perhaps the messaging should be clearer.

pts-starter-kit comes with an example demo (in index.html). Does that work for you? Please file an issue and we will figure out from there. Thanks for trying it out!

Yes! It first started as Pt (in coffeescript) a few years ago, and it's an experimental project to explore "a single point". Last year I started rewriting everything from scratch, …

You're right. Sorry I misunderstood.
