#releasethursday — Public Fediverse posts

#ReleaseThursday Happy to announce that https://thi.ng/units finally has a little CLI wrapper to perform not only simple unit conversions, but also more advanced calculations, using the existing Lisp-like S-expression based DSL and built-in units and constants.

https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/units/#cli-usage

The CLI also provides a list command to print out the 172 built-in units, their canonical symbol, any aliases and full names. The output can also be filtered via optional regexp pattern. See attached readme screenshots & more advanced linked example:

Hope some of you find this as useful as I do! Any questions, please ask!

#ReleaseThursday A historic moment in the https://thi.ng/umbrella microverse!

I just re-published all 214 projects, the first release referencing their new home at @Codeberg with updated links in all packages, examples, readmes and other documentation... 🎉

(Also added a prominent note [hopefully prominent enough!] at the top of the main readme to inform about this project migration...)

Happy Coding! :) The detangling from US big tech continues...

#ReleaseThursday 🎉 Just pushed a new version of the https://thi.ng/column-store database and query engine which adds support for new column types (fixed-size n-dimensional int/uint/float vectors) and RLE (run-length encoding) compression support for more column types. I also updated/extended the readme and started adding/porting more tests...

Related to these changes is that https://thi.ng/rle-pack now also offers the `encodeSimple()`/`decodeSimple()` functions which work for arrays of any type. This is in addition to the more advanced bitwise RLE packing offered so far (but only available for integer arrays). The readme for that package also has more code examples now...

Happy Coding! :)

#ReleaseThursday #OpenSourceXmas A little present (to some of you)... Been meaning to release these recent additions before the holidays, but only getting around to it now. The most important new things are these:

https://thi.ng/units now includes a Lisp-like formula DSL to combine, calculate and convert quantities and units in a much concise manner than via the normal TypeScript API (see attached examples)

https://thi.ng/pixel-io-tiff is a new package (only 2.6KB) to provide TIFF image format parsing and EXIF/GPS metadata extraction (without having to parse the image fully). Also includes format conversions for https://thi.ng/pixel buffers (grayscale 8/16bit, RGB 24/32bit), but only supports most common TIFF features (e.g. tiles, strips, uncompressed or deflate). Supports multiple sub-images... Write support will be released early next year

https://thi.ng/math now has conversions to/from fractions, using "continued fractions" for best possible precision (also includes recursion-free implementations of GCD & LCM).

https://thi.ng/binary now provides `DATAVIEW`, a JS-native DataView-like API tailored for using `Uint8Array` or vanilla JS numeric arrays (assuming the array contains u8 values) and accessors for signed/unsigned 8-64bit word sizes and little/big endian ordering.

See main #ThingUmbrella readme for other recent updates:

#ReleaseThursday 🚀 — This week's second round of releases is featuring:

https://thi.ng/geom — added support for more shape pairings in the polymorphic intersection function to altogether 18, now also including: line↔︎group (incl. nested groups), line↔︎polygon, line↔︎polyline, ray↔︎group, ray↔︎line

https://thi.ng/geom-isec — simplified intersection result type (intersection point(s) now always in an array), added computation of point-inside-shape flags to more shape types, bug fixes

https://thi.ng/meta-css — more updates to CSS template handling, spec doc system and tons more additions to the generative baseframework specs/templates, now already consisting of 932 CSS utility classes (incl. 61 callable templates/functions/macros), which can be used as-is or as starting point to define your own custom CSS framework(s). All explained in the readme... This toolchain will likely keep on seeing a flurry of other updates since I'm heavily using it for the design of the new thi.ng website too! Together with mprocs[1] and Vite it also offers a very nice hot-reloading workflow...

https://thi.ng/hiccup-css — added support for SASS-style `&`-parent reference when defining nested selectors, updated readme w/ examples

https://thi.ng/random — added a `weightedProbability()` function to simplify dealing with arbitrarily shaped distributions (attached code example to compute the histogram & visualize results as ASCII-art is from the API docs)

As usual, please check the readmes and changelogs for more details!

#ReleaseThursday As promised, a new version of https://thi.ng/fibers is out now and includes several new fiber operators/combinators and all the essentials for channel-based communication between processes/fibers (aka #CSP). The CSP channel supports arbitrary buffer sizes & implementations to achieve a range of blocking/non-blocking behaviors for reads/writes. And because all channel ops (read/write/close) are fiber-based, they can also be combined with all the other available operators, enabling some pretty powerful and expressive usage patterns...

More demos & tutorial forthcoming. Check the readme, API docs & examples and please report back with any feedback/questions/suggestions...
