»Sein Auftrag: Die auf dem Markt befindlichen Textilmuster zu sammeln und Stoffmuster zu kaufen, damit diese in Glarus imitiert und unter anderem in Asien gut abgesetzt werden konnten. Seine Reise dauerte sechzehn Monate. Heute würde man dies als Industriespionage bezeichnen, doch damals gab es kein Copyright.«

This was an interesting problem to work on (back in 2017): A visualization of a path planner for 3D printing (FDM) a single layer/mesh structure of a multi-layer textile. Two setups of the same path strategy which optimized for longest continuous sub-paths and minimum rapids (distance without filament extrusion) between sub-paths. The planner supported six strategies in total, incl. optimizing for straight sub-paths and minimum amounts of "recent" crossings (to allow filament to co…

Animation showing a subdivided quadmesh (consisting of ~320 faces) which is being iteratively highlighted by orange paths navigating the edges of the mesh to show progress of the path planner. Initially the paths are longer, but are becoming shorter as more edges of the mesh have already been visited. Visited edges are then shown as thick gray lines.

Vomiting is the last true zen state a person experiences, a moment of complete worldly abandon and total thoughtless force. Shitting is supposed to be that too but phones have ruined it. Nobody’s on their phone while they’re puking & if they are then god has truly lost.

Holy crap #soundcloud I don't know how a #website can be more off-putting.
I just wanted to listen to a music clip.

A screenclip of a browser open to soundcloud.com. Except the view of the actual music clip is nearly completely obscured by 3 things which have taken modal focus away from the music clip and must be dismissed before listening: - a browser popup from Vivaldi which has detected that "hey its a website I can use your cached credentials for <some OTHER service like my gmail> to log into this, do you want me to log into this do ya do ya i can totally do that hey spike are you listening hey spike …
