"The Thief's Journal"
My fellow prisoners were moths. They danced frantically beneath the light, blinded by that dangerous urge to disregard the risks. Stupid bastards.

"Pattern Recognition"

She’s at the screen and won’t let it go.
"We have to split, kid. Now!"
"Almost got it. It’s not random."
"They'll lock down the zone any moment."
"But I can see the pattern."
"THIS ZONE IS OFF LIMITS!"

"Dark Ages"
The first couple of nights after they cut the power were just scary. Then the looting and burning began. Streets in flames. And that smell. You didn’t have to die to go to hell.

"Spring"
The problem with synthoids was that they simply thought too much, overly fixated on optimization. The organics played the long game, dancing patiently since the dawn of time.

A very simple way to draw HAKMEM 149 based structures by using whole 32 bits range with upper bits as coordinates using unsigned shifts.

This also works with a lower range but it loses precision.

The oblique version is even simpler by removing the last two operations.

The structure looks like Apollonian net or Hopalong attractors.

This drawing method also works with other attractors or Gingerbread man map etc.

So, you hear Sizecoding all the time. What is that?

Sizecoding is about writing very small programs, that do amazing things.

There are two good starting-points:

1. This introduction video: https://youtu.be/foaXTw45hjA?si=6yIPPqEaMrgXWQhR

2. At http://www.sizecoding.org you find good resources to get started on many systems.

"Inifinite Scroll"
The altar was surrounded by countless skeletons. Above it, the scroll of immortality floated silently. What does it say? "Thou shall die if ye cease reading!"
Oh, no!

"Symmetry"
You can hear the pagans across the river, yelling like demons around their bonfires. Oh, how you wish you could join them. Their euphoria is as vast as your dogmatic sorrow.

A tiny way to compute a square / triangle wave at the same time without conditionals, only basic arithmetic and shifts.

This can be used for #oscillators or animations etc. #algorithm is a variant of HAKMEM 149.

Can also be used to draw a square. (And other shapes, see previous toot)

Code also shows how to draw a diamond shape by rotating the square by 45°.

There are two versions, optimized for size and optimized for speed.

"Neo-Tokyo Circular Route"
He could hear the highway, but his visor was cracked, and all he could see was a kaleidoscope of lights and the shadows of passing cars.

"Visual Calculus"
"In the photo of your missing brother... this rug was on the wall, wasn’t it?"
"Yes, detective. But I’ve redecorated," he said - and used it to cover his blood, he thought.

"Remuneration"
He delivered, so they paid him with gold as agreed. However, it was a four-dimensional gold nugget, and we didn’t have the technology to unpack it.
