@projectgus OK now I’m curious… what factors continue to battery drain during installation? if you grab a tiny distro like DSL or Puppy does smaller install = less time = less battery drain…?

dammit, #NerdSniped!

@simontatham
(and yes, I grabbed a quick set of unicode emoji/symbol ranges and wrote a #Python script that expanded them all to their individual code-points, iterated over them checking if 0x20 was set and if not-0x20 was also among the code-points; and if so, emitted the unicodedata.name() of both characters for quick evaluation)

@EricAlper True that. Every time I need to re-organize my route-optimized shopping list. #nerdsniped

@eichkat3r @fleaz #nerdsniped

... I've #NerdSniped myself.

@teunbrand Fresh eyes this morning saw a better way of penalising based on aspect-ratio.

I think this looks better than the previous two!

Now to tidy this spaghetti code :)

@teunbrand Two diferent rectangularisations of the same matrix.

In the second one i penalise narrow areas - hoping to promote areas at least 2 high (or wide).

Still some thin areas that could be replaced by fatter in top half of first two columns.

@teunbrand First draft.

Notes:
* There's an interesting choice to be made when multiple candidates match
* Locally optimal/greedy matching probably gives globally sub-optimal final result
* Feels like there should a 2d divide/conquer method.
* Also feels like there should be a 2d growth+simulated annealing that would producing something nice
* quadtrees / binary space partitioning methods?

Do you have interesting test cases to try this on?

@teunbrand I'll probably spend all day thinking about this!
