Transcript: My thinking is, first thing I want to see, if I can render a one pixel density, much bigger. Within P5.js as a native image, and what my real curiosity is, is if I can benefit from the browser based sharp edges rendering, or if that gets convoluted somewhere in the stack. My desire here is to remove the pan zoom library completely, do away with that, and well, actually, no, I think in this scenario, the pan zoom library would stay. I still need some way of zooming, but instead of pure P5 pixel data being drawn under the hood, it's actually a PNG that scales just fine, which means potentially I can lower the total resolution of the canvas and sort of save my butt that way. That's one approach. Approach number two is to, I'm trying to avoid this one, for no good reason, but is to set up a camera inside of P5 and have panning and zooming be tied directly from user controls to the movement of that camera, actually rip out pan zoom library, and I have to imagine this would be the best situation for a larger canvas, because only as much of it is in view, but I am very hesitant about what the actual data performance is once this 2D array of, oh, God, 3,000 by 3,000 pixels is being updated, and we're going to do some performance testing on that. Of course, there are other options, batching requests, yada yada, but I'm wondering if I can get a small win right now by swapping out P5 rendering pixels, like rectangles for PNGs with the sharp rendering, and then I think my other curiosity is just what does moving to full-blown 3,000 by 3,000 look like? Part of my stomach just thinks when I think about that many pixels, because that's a lot, but for reference, exquisite land is 147,000 pixels, which sounds like a lot, it's a lot more than we have now, but 3 by 3,000 is 9 million. The numbers just go astronomically up really fast. Now, our one saving grace is that if the market cap is big enough to justify 9 million pixels, then we can jet out some heat to have somebody that knows what they're doing come in here and do something, but as of right now, I don't know what I'm doing. So, yeah, kind of doodling on these and curious if something can be done here, because we need to up this canvas size and we need to get rid of the blurriness ASAP.
The speaker did not complete their weekly review, which usually provides clarity and insights for the upcoming week. Despite this, they have many projects, personal life commitments, and community efforts to attend to, not to mention taxes. They plan to set week intentions using voice instead of writing, including the exploration of websites for the Diagram Website Explorers Club and developing a Canvas element-based editor for Daily Jam. The technical aspects of this project involve real-time data updates, efficient pixel manipulation, and secure user authentication through tokenization. A function is set to run every five seconds to update the canvas with the latest pixel data, ensuring all viewers see a consistent image while minimizing performance impacts. Other tasks include preparing tax paperwork, organizing Boulder events for systems and AI, and sketching ideas for a project called "co-net." The intention is to spend more time outdoors in the nice weather and to schedule the next "Site Craft Hang," while thinking about potential content for the "Explorers Club" website. Overall, it's a productive Monday morning with good weather contributing to a positive start to the week.
The text provides insights into the challenges of finalizing and shipping a product, highlighting the complexities of resetting and managing various states and default values. It also touches on the need to consider potential issues and the importance of thorough testing. The author reflects on potential improvements for future projects, such as incorporating safeguards for duplicate signatures and considering time-based randomization. Additionally, the text emphasizes the importance of attention to detail, particularly in visual aspects, during the final stages of development and deployment. The speaker discusses their increasing comfort with refactoring and componentizing complex structures. They express excitement about making code more readable and coherent, although the components are currently specific to the project. The speaker notes the trade-off between using brain cycles to save CPU cycles and vice versa, while also reflecting on past regrets and lessons learned. They emphasize the importance of simplifying and automating processes to reduce complexity and potential confusion. Additionally, they mention the need to minimize the number of possible states to maintain control and avoid tangled situations. The text contains various thoughts on working with render loops and passing signals as props in React components. The author also discusses the importance of validating metadata before deployment in order to avoid costly mistakes on the main net. Additionally, the author reflects on the need for breaks during long coding sessions and the frustration of having to rename components. Overall, the text reflects the author's experiences and insights while working on a project.
The new tab space in our browsers is incredibly valuable digital real estate that we encounter frequently, yet it's often underutilized with features like most visited tabs that create a self-perpetuating cycle of repetitive usage. Inspirational quotes and mindfulness reminders in new tabs can offer a moment of pause and intentionality but lack interactivity, unlike a scratch pad which provides a versatile tool for capturing fleeting thoughts and tasks. The discussion moves to the limitations of bookmark bars, which enforce a strict hierarchy and lack flexibility in display and organization, with items in folders often becoming out of sight and out of mind. Finally, the concept of desire paths in the physical world demonstrates how natural patterns of use can conflict with designed layouts, suggesting a potential parallel in digital interface design and highlighting a need for more spatially aware computing beyond the flat, 2D box we typically engage with. The text explores the idea of a more spatial and intentional experience of the internet, suggesting that the information we deal with doesn't fit well within the confines of a basic square interface such as traditional browser tabs or virtual desktops. The author envisions a new tab page as a garden with different plots representing various personal projects and interests, also suggesting it could connect to other services and websites through API. The emphasis is on creating a tranquil and purposeful online space contrasting with the typical attention-grabbing nature of the internet. Reflecting on past experiences with customizable home screens like iGoogle, the author recalls enjoying the flexibility and fun themes but also felt constrained by Google's branding and the limited selection of plugins, signaling a desire for a more personalized and less biased digital workspace.
