[DNG] [Very OT] 2D random walk in Postscript
-- OT -- OT -- OT -- OK, sorry, my postscript is very rusty, and I know that the more knowledgeable of you will probably be horrified by it, but thanks to the suggestions given by Erik and Nelson I eventually came up with a solution to my old "make a ps document that shows an original random walk every time it is opened". The file is attached. It works with GNU Ghostscript: $ gs myrw.ps but it doesn't work with gv, since I guess gv forbids filesystem access from within the script. Fair enough. The idea is quite stupid, but it does the job ;) Thanks everybody for this quite unexpected "diversion", which reminded me how much I liked writing postscript ;) HND KatolaZ -- OT -- OT -- OT -- -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - Devuan -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ] myrw.ps Description: PostScript document signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Well, SVG has the same transformations as PS and they can be applied cumulatively as well. Actually it seems to me SVG was largely inspired by PS. I'm pretty sure SVG and PS can be converted to each other without any loss of information, provided there is no transparency. PS has no transparency, and transparency can only be rendered during rasterization. But SVG images without transparency should be transformable into PS and vice-versa with no loss. However the only tools I found to translate SVG to PS are online on the web. Gimp and Geequie render SVG pretty well, but they're bound to rasterize it, and would produce a pixelized PS.

I did not use my sources.list to apt-cache policy these packages to check them. I checked them against an apt-mirror configured with the mirror.list posted here a few days ago. It would appear that although the patched packages are immediately available on the official pkgmaster ascii-security repo as you demonstrated, they are not similarly available on an apt-mirror if it does not also mirror additional ascii-* repos.

If intending to use any of them in DC-DC converter, i.e. with high frequency intermittent current flow with high peaks, it's worthwhile to check the ESR first. The little transistor and capacitor ESR tester from Banggood (and probably other ebay suppliers) is dead cheap, easy to assemble (it's a kit), and easy to use. That unit also tests capacitance, but if the capacitor is so old and dried out that capacitance has dropped, then ESR is probably crook too. (Doubly past its use-by date.) ¹ Each 10°C increase in operating temperature halves lifetime again.

Often hardware is discarded due to failed electrolytic capacitors. People don't want to pay a couple hundred for a guy who can spot a bulging can and solder in a new one.
