Doesn’t Iceland still follow the tradition of using the father’s first name followed by “son” or “dottir” for their “last names”?

So, when a Jonson meets a Jonsdottir at a singles bar, they just know that they both have fathers named Jon (hopefully not the same one).

OP: Asks what will run well on a 2017 mid-range business laptop.

ITT: Idle games! Text adventures! Literally games from the 1990s that would run fine on a 486.

🤦‍♂️

us-west-2

us-west-1 is the much smaller (and more expensive) SFO region.

In short, its going to be quite a while, I can promise it won’t be ready this year…

Yay! I still have time to use my legendary asteroid casino before that gets nerfed.

Oh, maybe! I didn’t understand how it chose the points, but it does look like the random convergence approach.

Nice, thanks!

I’m disappointed that none of them seem to have gone with the random convergence approach.

Set the three corners of an equilateral triangle. Pick a random starting point on the canvas. Every iteration, pick a random corner from the triangle and your next point is the midpoint between the current point and that corner. While the original point is almost guaranteed not to be a point in Sierpinski’s triangle, each iteration cuts the distance between the new point and the nearest Sierpinski point in half.

If you start plotting points starting with (say) the 50th one, every pixel is “close enough” to a Sierpinski point that you see the triangle materialize out of nothing. The whole thing could be programmed in about 20 lines of QBasic on DOS 30 years ago.

FFS, “between Lando and me”. Grammar, folks. Use it.
