$a) da Vinci’s sketch of a tree illustrates the principle that combined thickness is preserved at different stages of ramification. b) Transects A and B have the same combined thickness and so limbs a and b together must have the same thickness as c. This has been taken to imply that c) combined cross-sectional area (⁠πR²⁠) is preserved across branching. Likewise, d) such transects can count the number of branches n that have radius approximately r to derive a fractal scaling relationship. Source: (a) from Institut de France Manuscript M, p. 78v.$

The scaling exponent α (a) determines the amount of detail at a given resolution and (b) proportions among adjoining boughs.

$Trees in artwork across centuries, cultures, and styles exhibit fractal scaling. a) carved stone window screen of Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India (1573 CE). b) Cherry Blossoms, Matsumura Goshun (1752–1811), ink on paper. c) L’Arbre de Vie (Tree of life), Gustav Klimt (1909), oil on canvas. d) data and inference of α±95% CI in two replicate measurements for each work along with simulated and living trees. Dotted vertical lines indicate the cutoff for excluding small-scale effects. Diameters from simulated and living trees are divided by this minimum value and therefore the horizontal axis is unitless.$

Branching structures exist throughout nature — in trees, of course, but also in leaves, veins and arteries. Mitchell Newberry, a research assistant professor of biology at the University of New Mexico, writes about Dutch artist Piet Mondrian's tree paintings, which evolved from realistic depictions in context, to overlapping lines in shades of gray. “Gray Tree” uses only curved lines of various thickness superimposed on top of one another at seemingly random angles. Yet the image is unmistakably a tree," writes Newberry for @TheConversationUS. "How did Mondrian convey the sense of a tree with so little? The science of trees may offer some clues."

Murray and Arlo are sitting at their desks, which are next to each other.. Murray is looking happy and a little vacant. He points at his screen.

“We use long-lived project branches so we don’t have to worry about merges,” Murray says with excitement.

“But you still have to merge at the end of the project,” Arlo observes.

“The end of the project,” Murray laughs. “That’s a good one!”

Submission for #WCCChallenge #Branching

Blogpost: https://blog.illestpreacha.com/wcccbranching

For this week's Creative Code Challenge by @sableraph : "Branching", MindsetofABranch takes the git branching graph from #mermaidjs and shows the pixelated and chaotic process that can occur through ideation with #Hydravideosynth @hydra oplap.org The sound that ties this branching progress is a remix coded composition in #Limut

Poem

When process emerge
Which ones float above the progress?
And which ones makes the ideas submerge
What idea stays on the branch
And sprouts it leaves
Which idea alienates the rest,
And minimise the ability
For the idea to breathe?
Pixelated thoughts
Might happen more, might happen a lot?

In the ever-evolving world of technology, the concept of open source has been at the forefront of innovation Among the innovations that have emerged from this movement, one stands out: Git.

#GIT #branching strategy.
#ReleaseFlow

Branches: main and 'features/[your-branch].

Requirement:
Multiple devs work on multiple features concurrently.
Features move through various states of qat and uat (deployed to qat & uat environments via commit tags)

Problem: keeping 'main' clean. Some say to always keep main updated. But if its not 'production ready' I dont see why you merge to main.

Solution: I dont see a way around it. You simply work your feature until its ready to merge to 'main'.
