I wonder why the whole topic of system thinking comes (self-enforcing/balancing feedback loops etc.) only come up in older literature from the 80s til late 90s. Why did it become out of fashion with the start up culture.

Yes, stands for plotter twitter postcard exchange. I think there is no real info online. It was organized by Paul Butler[1] on twitter. In the end you but your info into an google sheet and he organized sending out emails with the addresses for your postcards to send to.

This a is a really wide field. Basically its starts with one of the standard algorithms, like and l-system, a voronoi diagram, or simple combination of sin and cos to draw shapes. Have a look at thi-ng[1], just as example for a library that has implemented a lot of this kind of algorithms. The next step in my process is to think about how to destroy this forms as most of them are used a lot in this field and become boring. Using perlin noise as input to arguments of the algorithms is one way to do this. The other part is to make most all of the input variables easily changeable as most of the time the whole process is like writing the program and then spend a lot of time adapt the parameters until you get some interesting output. So in the end I have a small Svelte app, using Svelte only cause the data binding for the inputs so simple, which has tons of sliders that renders an SVG that can be saved in the end.

Sure. The plotter I've bought is the AxiDraw SE/A3[1]. There is an Inkscape plugin so you can easily plot SVG graphics. I generate the SVG graphics using small JavaScript programs. Thats already it. Here[2] is a more detailed resource list to dig into the topic

Buying a pen plotter last summer was one of the best decision for a while. As I start my journey into programming with generative art, using macromedia director and processing, I always wanted to be able to create my on physical prints. So for the last months I got back to have fun writing code in my spare time.

Ask HN: Are there any other topics in FP then simple composition and CT

eskimobloood — Sun, 24 Mar 2019 15:08:10 +0000

Most of the articles about functional Programming are either simple descriptions on composition and currying or about how a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors. I wonder if there are no other topics in this field.

Doesn't the map show the trend? So it's not about how green it is but how mucher greener it's become over the last decade.
