Do you have a UK or Europe based print service?

RT @akivaw: “Folk etymology” was originally simply called “fake etymology” but the vowel shifted over time
Scroll bars are broken everywhere. Sometimes they disappear when the mouse isn’t on them, ruining their affordance. Sometimes they are super slim in a ‘cool’ designer look, so they are hard to click on. Sometimes they move around on their own because of infinite scroll.
Replying to @tim_hutton
Sometimes they don’t have up and down buttons, because some designer thought they weren’t needed, giving no way to page up and down without a) finding a safe place on the screen to click to give the right pane focus, and b) hoping that page up/down works.
Replying to @tim_hutton
Sometimes clicking in the gutters pages up/down, but in other apps it jumps the scroll. etc. etc.
How have fundamental UI principles just been ignored?

Should be possible to get pretty close by tweaking the parameters of this model.

wrote a fantastic piece about it here: https://softologyblog.wordpress.com/2020/03/29/dendritic-crystal-growth
There’s also an implementation in Ready.
It would be good to make a version where the crystals can grow at different angles.

BTW, the model gives Voronoi for free because the dendrites stop growing when they approach other dendrites: https://twitter.com/tim_hutton/status/1282459282383011843

For debugging, maybe just try making a parameter map - insert into simulationFrag.glsl:
k = 0.03+0.04v_uvs[0].x; f = 0.1v_uvs[0].y;
(I think. How do I build your code to try it?)
The clamp worries me - it shouldn’t be needed.

Do you literally just glue the ends of the sticks to the surface of the balls? No drilled holes? I guess tetrahedra are a strong shape.

I learned recently that airplanes inherited the same convention, so that we always board them on the port side. Now I can never forget which is port and which is starboard. https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/hsxzme/til_that_the_term_starboard_comes_from_old_boats/
