Man Spends 7 Years Drawing Incredibly Intricate Maze Almost 30 years ago a Japanese custodian sat in front of a large A1 size sheet of white paper, whipped out a pen and started drawing the beginnings of diabolically complex maze, each twist and turn springing spontaneously from his brain onto the paper without aid of a computer. The hobby would consume him as he drew in his spare time until its completion nearly 7 years later when the final labyrinth was rolled up and almost forgotten. Twitter user @Kya7y was recently going through some of her father’s old things (he’s still a custodian at a public university) when she happened upon the maze and snapped a few photos to share on Twitter. She was quickly inundated by requests from friends and eventually strangers who had endless questions, the most obvious being: are you making prints!? Update: Prints now available over in the Spoon & Tamago shop, just $40.

Le test du marshmallow Selon certaines études scientifiques, l'expérience du marshmallow, c’est LE test qui permet le mieux de prédire la réussite dans la vie d'un individu. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'elle permet de mesurer la sensibilité à la gratification différée. Temps de lecture : environ 15 mn. 1 - LE TEST DU MARSHMALLOW L’expérience de Walter Mischel On voulait vous présenter deux personnes. Ils ont tous les deux six ans, et pas mal de trucs en commun. Un jour, en rentrant dans leur salle de classe, ils découvrent un marshmallow posé sur leur table. Ils se disent : “Génial, un marshmallow” ! Pas la peine d’appeler la police : le type bizarre, c’est juste un chercheur en économie comportementale - aux Etats-Unis, ils appellent ça un comportementaliste. La gratification différée : le secret de la réussite Pour prendre un exemple, re-voici Tom et Nico, 20 ans plus tard. Nico gère. Avant, Tom et Nico étaient deux gamins assez proches. Pourtant, il n'y avait rien de particulier dans ce marshmallow. Erreur.

Drawing from noise, and then making animated loopy GIFs from there. – necessary-disorder tutorials This tutorial will focus on explaining how to draw things from noise functions in Processing, and then will present an automatic way to produce GIFs that loop well from a noise-based drawing. It will explain how to obtain the following GIFs with the same animation technique : Most of my latest gifs have all used this same trick I will present here, so I thought it was worth sharing it. About noise functions First of all let’s explain a little bit noise functions. Processing has a function noise() that produces values between 0 and 1, centered on 0.5 given some inputs. Let’s show with a quite short code what noise() gives us : Result : The parameter scale is used because without it the values changed too fast. Beware that the noise function is symmetrical (noise(x) = noise(-x)). Everytime the sketch is launched, the curve looks different. That was 1-dimensional noise. 2-dimensional noise takes 2 float values and returns a value between 0 and 1. To make it loop we’ll need 4-dimensional noise.
The Procrastination Matrix Note: To best understand this post, you should first read Part 1 of Wait But Why’s previous post on procrastination. PDF: We made a fancy PDF of this post for printing and offline viewing. Buy it here. (Or see a preview.) Back in high school, if you had asked me if I was a procrastinator, I would have said yes. High school students are given all these lectures about “pacing yourself” on longer projects, and I proudly paced myself less than almost anyone I knew. Except I wasn’t. There was definitely an Instant Gratification Monkey in my head, but he was cute more than anything. One day, high school ended, and so did my life as a somewhat normal-acting person. Without deadlines to occupy him, my Panic Monster, who can’t think too far ahead, began to spend a lot of time in hibernation. The more the Panic Monster slept, the more confidence the monkey gained. The RDM would slip further into despair, and only the times when things reached their most dire would anything change. Not quite.
The Poetics of Space Sometimes the house of the future is better built, lighter and larger than all the houses of the past, so that the image of the dream house is opposed to that of the childhood home…. Maybe it is a good thing for us to keep a few dreams of a house that we shall live in later, always later, so much later, in fact, that we shall not have time to achieve it. For a house that was final, one that stood in symmetrical relation to the house we were born in, would lead to thoughts—serious, sad thoughts—and not to dreams. It is better to live in a state of impermanence than in one of finality. Chapter 2: House and Universe: section VIII Camille Paglia has listed it as an influence on her 1990 work of literary criticism Sexual Personae.[1] Review[edit] Joan Ockman. References[edit]

Reddit Marketing: The Complete Guide to Using Reddit Unless this is your first time on the internet, chances are you've heard of Reddit. Self-proclaimed "The Front Page of the Internet," Reddit is one of the most fascinating and active places online to discover and share cool content. If you're a marketer, you should immediately understand the potential this resource has to bring the very best content you are publishing to the attention of its 90 million unique visitors (as of last month alone). Reddit is a powerful and fair community of people that doesn't like to be led astray by underhanded marketing efforts, so how exactly do you leverage it to provide valuable content to users while also plugging your product? Demographics In order to understand if Reddit is going to even make sense as a marketing channel for your product or service, we first need to understand the demographics of the people that make up this wonderful community. Reddit users are actually quite well educated. How to Post A couple of other things to note as you post:

Timesify Drawing vector field | GenerateMe The goal During last few days I’ve made several attempts to create and visualize 2D vector fields. In the following article you can read about this concept with several examples and code in Processing. There are many beautiful art/code based on vector field visualization around the net. Mostly based on noise function. What is the vector field? Vector field (in our case) is just a to function exatly the same as variation described in my previous post about Folds. Why vector? as vector for each point from 2d plane. Vector fields can be visualised in the following way How to get the vector field The main goal, in this article, is to research various ways to create vector fields. We can operate on functions which returns pair of values like variations. The second option is to get single float number like from noise(), dist() between points or dot product of vectors, etc. Drawing method The method is quite simple. Step 4 is key here. The general flow for constructing vector field follows this scheme: or
