Algorithms and simulations (2/n): The Poisson disk sampling algorithm: https://github.com/neozhaoliang/algorithms-and-simulations/blob/main/poisson_disk_sampling.py

The algorithm will ensure that each cell in the grid contains at most one point and that the distance between the closest pair is greater or equal to a given threshold (length of the cell diagonal).

So @taylorlorenz got suspended on Twitter for daring to ask a question of billionaire baby so it's a nice time to note that she's on Mastodon and give her a welcome!

So there.

Who's the toughest?

#JohnMastodon, #BillBrasky, #ChuckNorris, #PaulBunyan

Boost this poll, dammit. I want to be Fediverse famous just once.

Friendly reminder that there are way better places to give than the #SalvationArmy this #holiday season. You’re not donating to a charity, you’re helping an extremely conservative Christian denomination who has a history of being anti-gay, anti-trans. Support mutual-aid networks, your local food bank, or even Goodwill.

We were just banned from Twitter.

It is disappointing but something we expected to happen.

Our crew is in a very healthy place and our work disrupting fascist organizing in so-called Colorado will continue, though we will probably emphasize IRL work even more.

Hey, Brooklyn Dad Defiant is here!

Elliott Downing has the solution

I remember back when #johnmastodon was John "Cougar" Mastodon.

@Mmerrikin Some say he doesn’t exist and that the whole thing started earlier today when the writer of an article misread “join mastodon” as “John mastodon” and thought John was an actual person.

Tired: Tech writers dumping on Mastodon without having ever used it

Wired: Political writers inventing a founder for Mastodon because they can’t read #JohnMastodon

Hey y'all: Given Twitter’s turbulence we want to build our platform here on Mastodon to make sure we can continue our conversations on a public social media platform.

Can you please BOOST this post and FOLLOW our account and encourage your followers to do the same? Thank you.

This piece by @brianklaas is very good. Musk has always struck me as a fraud, but it's easier to spot when you’ve been in showbiz your whole life.
