Re: Show HN: HN Avatars in 357 bytes
#402This was inspired by @frncsdrk's submission from earlier today [0]. The generative concepts used were inspired by and derived from dweets from @KilledByAPixel and @FireFly [1] [2] [3] The concept is to use HN usernames as the seed into a deterministic avatar generator. This generator is built from the famously simple xorshift32 PRNG, which both provides a random variable for the image generator steps, and "pseudo-has…
further ungolfed: for (const huser of document.querySelectorAll(".hnuser")) { const s = huser.innerText; const p = 2; const canvas = document.createElement("canvas"); const context = canvas.getContext("2d"); canvas.width = p * 7; canvas.height = p * 7; huser.parentElement.prepend(canvas); { const xorshift32 = (n) => { n ^= n >> 17; n ^= n = seedSteps; i--) { seed = xorshift32(seed); seed += s.charCodeAt(i - seedSteps…
You're off by one in the initial seed step. Change
for (let i = seedSteps + s.length; i >= seedSteps; i--) to for (let i = seedSteps + s.length - 1; i >= seedSteps; i--)
The original is not using the for loop in the usual way so i starts off one smaller than expected.

#404gentle reminder not to paste internet code into your browser console
Firefox made me copy and paste "allow pasting" to allow pasting in the console.

But your avatar looks like a Ninja Turtle with shades on. You should be enjoying this. :)
Likely still traumatized by existence of new reddit UI. Old appears to be better.
I just find pfps visually distracting and enjoy HNs stance as one of the few remaining sites keeping an old school look. I feel like it would affect the tone of the site and negatively affect the quality of the conversation.

I don't actually like my avatar very much, lol. I can't decide whether it's a moustache and glasses or a bikini.
I see a bulldog with a flat top haircut (or old school phone) on it's head.
I'll take that over my moustache bikini :P
Thank you bird man.
