JVM: Class File Format - Structure

Class File

Each .class file contains the definition of a single:

  • class
  • interface or
  • a module

Class format (the specific order and meaning of bytes) described in the spec not neceserily applies to an actual file on the filesystem: those “bytes” might have been read from the database, downloaded from the web or constructed by a class loader; keep this in mind whenever you encounter the phrase “class file format”.

Palettes - research notes

Generating a color palette

While playing with p5.js I often stumble upon a problem of color palette choice. The colors that I use in my artictic/programming playground are (usually) randomly generated. Even though I’m familiar with practical superiority of HSL/HSB over RGB colorscpace and I seldom use RGB in my scripts, I haven’t tried to create a color palette algorithm myself.

I’m sure there are many such algorithms. There are plenty of pages that allow the user to enter a color and they helpfully output a set of matching, somehow related colors that form some kind of a palette. The obvious target users of such pages are:

November art

At the end of November my whole familly (me included) got ill. Lots of coughing and sneezing, tons of medicines and headaches. Together with a very poor physical health I experienced also some time of intellectual “downtime” and my blog did not receive enough love from my side.
