Primitive Pictures VS mac-mouse-fix

TIL about https://github.com/fogleman/primitive from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_raster-to-vect...

Looks great! I've been thinking of having my own attempt at something like this ever since I saw a similar idea at primitive.lol

Looks like it's made with https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

If you're looking for a more artistic arrangement of coloured blocks, and you've got some skills (or a Mac), there is this one application that's fun to play with. But I'm sure there are other ways.

Some examples off the top of my head (not game-dev specific) are https://www.michaelfogleman.com/ (creator of https://primitive.lol/), Marco Arment (https://marco.org/ - Overcast), or Pieter Levels (sadly as I write this I found that his blog seems to have been taken down and just redirects to his twitter https://twitter.com/levelsio?ref=levels.io - but still has a laundry list of projects old and new in his twitter bio)

Any ideas on how I could simply cross-compile a non-module GitHub repository to three different architectures with predictable filenames? I wouldn't mind setting up a go.mod file, the problem is I would like to compile the executable in the github.com/fogleman/primitive repository, not my own code.

Consider an SVG from [Primitive](https://github.com/fogleman/primitive) and a mostly-transparent overlay containing the diff against the original image. Tuning Primitive is not entirely deterministic (like your algorithm) and I think a human interface for the front-end would allow a few knobs to erase parts of the diff in order to shrink the detail imperceptively. Seems like a good opportunity for a contest :)

I think stroke-based painting methods like these are neat: https://github.com/jiupinjia/stylized-neural-painting https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

The Github repo[0] is listed. Could open an issue for describing how it works.

Mac Mouse Fix

M1 Pro MBP here. Options+ took a whopping 1.2gigs. A simple mouse companion should never weigh so much, and it is bloated with trash. Switched to Mac Mouse Fix (for Macs only), which does so much more, and it weighs a mere 2megs now.

I just installed it recently without any issues. Here’s some things to try if you want to give it another go. https://github.com/noah-nuebling/mac-mouse-fix/discussions/114

In osx you can use mac-mouse-fix, 3.x.x beta version can do the trick. https://github.com/noah-nuebling/mac-mouse-fix/releases

Although almost everything on macOS is just much more polished and higher quality, some things are just missing, if you're used to Windows. Get the fabulous AltTab, because the macOS window switcher is just garbage. Rectangle is also a must, because you will miss Windows AeroSnap feature. Since you will be using a laptop instead of a desktop, I probably don't need to recommend Mac Mouse Fix and Karabiner.

If that doesn't work for you, you can try MacMacFix2 (available from GitHub).
