Re: Fractal Lab
#82The author's voice makes me want to create some happy little fractal trees over here ... then some happy little fractal clouds over there ... This is awesome. I want to play with this very badly.
He is like the Bob Ross of fractals! Used to enjoy simply listening to the soothing voice of this PBS paint show host... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MghiBW3r65M
I paid $30 for Bob's mountain DVDs, ripped the audio, and use it to help me fall asleep at night. Worth every penny.

Might be worth getting a hearing test. Perhaps you have selective hearing loss in that frequency range. (I'm sure there are more likely explanations, but couldn't hurt to check.)
While I agree with you that a hearing test is no the worst thing one can do, ironically, some parts were so loud that I had to remove my headphones.
That could actually support the same conclusion. It's a common misconception that hearing loss is general quieting across the board. What's more common is to have selective loss in some frequency ranges. That could encourage you to turn up the volume to ear those ranges better, which then might result in sounds in other range being uncomfortably loud.
Edit: more likely though is probably your speakers or something losing frequencies though!

#85Was it really necessary to implement your own scrollbar? It's absurdly slow (and therefore annoying) on Firefox/Conkeror, and seems entirely redundant when the browser handles scrolling perfectly fine.
don't mess with the scroll bar!!

#86It boggles my mind to think that this guy knows more about fractals than I could ever know there is to know about fractals. It's really interesting to me how people gain such deep knowledge of fields that I'll never scratch the surface of. Makes me wish I had more time.
He doesn't seem to know THAT much about fractals. Not more than you could pick up reading about them on weekends for a while.

What's wrong with looking for commercial value? This community is heavily focused on startups, after all. Is the inherent value of 3D fractal art that it looks cool? I don't think that's lost on anyone here.
It's not that it's wrong, I just felt eigenvalue was so quick to jump to that, you know? And as you say, it's a startup community and so on, and sometimes that seems a little... One-dimensional to me. Part of it was actually probably my not-quite-conscious perception of eigenvalue's ideas as pretty unimaginative and lacking in potential. What about an immersive world where everything is a fractal and where all player…
That a person mentions a single dimension does not mean that they don't appreciate additional dimensions. Perhaps you could seize the opportunity to train yourself not to read too much into a few sentences? :)

#88I know I'm dating myself by posting this. Tom, the creator is associated with Kai Krause, creator of some cool graphics software a long time ago... http://kai.subblue.com/en/contact.html
I've never heard of any of these people, but I have a strange impulse to buy some iOS app called Frax. ...Wait! No. No, I don't.
You should, I've played with it and it's quite amazing!
Edit: Here is one of the other creators talking about it a bit more: http://kai.subblue.com/en/frax.html

Not only that but this is just his hobby.

> Fractal Lab is my {NOT AZEIRAH'S} personal technical and creative canvas where I can explore ideas freely in my own time without obligations and support commitments, so for the moment it isn't available online or for local installation. I have some project ideas I first want to fully explore using Fractal Lab, after that I'll probably release the code. This is on his site soo... someday maybe
Failing that, his main page promotes the iOS app FRAX. Any opinions/experience about it?
I've played with it. Quite nice.
