Do the simplest thing that will work, except for when you need to do the most robust and forward-thinking thing that will work.
Determining when to do which, that's the rub.

Just wrote a fun little algorithm for iterating through all grid positions within X euclidean distance from a center, roughly in order of distance but also mostly ensuring each position yielded is at least diagonally adjacent to the previous. It's a fun problem to think about with lots of design tradeoffs and many valid solutions.
My solution requires that the origin be on the grid (I think?) and uses a bunch of caching instead of a bajillion distance checks, although I don't actually know what the memory/speed tradeoff is like or whether there are any gains at all (could be net losses, which I'm starting to wonder about more as I write this post). Thankfully I don't expect performance to be very critical here anyways, and doing the caching actually helped separate some logic in a useful way.
A fun little diversion from bigger stuff in the project and a reminder of some of the joys of programming design at a small scope. Feels kinda like mastering the local town's minigame while you're stuck on the main quest in an RPG.

#ProgrammingLanguages, targets, and platforms
I started as a #Java developer, but for some time now, I have broadened my horizons. Recently, I thought about how early languages were dedicated to a single target and platform, and now they are broadening their focus. In this post, I want to …

Hrmm, Zig is an interesting language...figured I'd kick the tires and figure out what's going on. So far it's been pretty nice.

Code that used to work but now doesn't is the bane of my existence. And yes, there are tests. That doesn't answer *why* this thing no longer works, despite no changes to the relevant files.

There is an I you feel. Located, bounded, looking out at the world from somewhere behind your eyes. Geneosophy is not interested in that I.

The Ground Beneath the "I"
There is an I you feel. Located, bounded, looking out at the world from somewhere behind your eyes. Geneosophy is not interested in that I. It is interested in what makes that I possible, the generative ground beneath perception, beneath experience, beneath the very distinction between inside and outside. This

Every major intellectual revolution has a Galileo moment: when the object of inquiry becomes clear, the method takes shape, and the formal language is still being forged.

The Galileo Moment
Every major intellectual revolution has a Galileo moment: when the object of inquiry becomes clear, the method takes shape, and the formal language adequate to carry the new questions is still being forged. Newton and Leibniz didn't find calculus waiting for them. The questions Galileo opened called it into existence.

Reminder: "I dislike $X" and "$X is bad" are two completely independent statements, and one does not imply the other.
