When the MTA announced discontinuing their live subway alerts due to Twitter's new excessive pricing policy, I took it as an opportunity to set up @mtaupdates.
Hello kbin! Since there’s a lot of new users migrating to this platform, I decided to make a short guide to creating and moderating a magazine. This will be a quick and short guide since there will be a lot of new features coming soon. I might make a new guide when a few major tools come, but in the meantime, I will...
I am enjoying playing with the eInk Watchy. It is a cute package and is everything I want in a Smart-Watch; geeky, long battery life, and not obnoxious. But - fuck me! - the documentation is atrocious! Well, that's a lie. There is no documentation. I has the "Chat to us on Discord" anti-pattern that […]
Habe ich neulich in einem #Bass#Tutorial auf Youtube entdeckt, da hatte der Tutor das #TShirt an.
Hat mir meine Freundin letztes Wochenende dann in ihrem Maschinenpark nachgedruckt. 🥰
I feel like a highlighted basic "kbin how to" on the frontpage would really help kbin in the beginning, I still feel like I don't know exactly how all of this works, didn't knew what things like "boost" means, the difference between adding a new article/ post/ photo is still not clear to me. Just a really simple 1 minute how to...
Since the question came up, here's how I achieved the look that some have compared to "Wes Anderson" or "Edward Hopper" since I posted my recent batch of early morning photos. (see https://strangeobject.space/@esther/110918033401974458)
The photos were shot on an OM-D E-M10 mk3 with the Olympus 17mm/1.8 wide angle lens at f8, ISO 200 and 1/25 s shutter. Sharpness and getting the center perspective right was crucial so I shot on a tripod.
After the usual lens-correcting on the RAW file, I added a gradient map adjustment layer with a red tones in the shadows and yellow-greenish tints in the highlights, set it to a mid-range opacity to not over-do it and adjused the blending curves to control the balance between shadow and highlight toning.
Getting there took quite some time but once figured out the process is not too hard and can be quickly applied to other images by copying the adjustment layers and making only small tweaks to them for each photo.
As noted in the comments, the SIMD batch processing here is to illustrate the overall usage and handling. In this specific example, the main bottleneck is the actual canvas drawing step (esp. in Firefox, which in this case is ~3.75x slower than Chrome [latter easily manages 60fps]). The SIMD step could handle magnitude(s) more points per frame, also on FF...
As an aside, this is now already the 140th (!!!) fully documented small example project, bundled as part of the https://thi.ng/umbrella monorepo... Please do tell me at which point the prejudice of not having enough starting points & info about these packages will be fading into oblivion... 😅
Also big thanks to Maximillian Schulte for sending me off on this topic (as a tangent) via an issue on GitHub... I've been meaning to create more examples for these above packages for a while! Last but not least, hat tip & nerd sniping @demofox re: colored noise... 😎🤩
I probably get flooded by asking this but welp, here I go:
I'm looking for a good, visual (!) #tutorial for #WebDevelopment that focuses on Codium, Firefox and other Open-Source tools. My specific interests are to learn #HTML, #CSS, #PHP and #SQL. Perhaps some minor #Javascript, however I'd like to primarily work without it.
I'm a visual learner, extended theory in text won't help me at all. As language is visual to me, so is #programming.
I'm looking for examples of what I'd refer to as "progressive tutorials". Coding or other tech-related tutorials that introduce progressive ideas and themes, without being overtly political.
Here I am trying to glom together 2 fully loaded 7.5 minute USGS digital quad sheets @40MB each along with a 10MB tiff image, and getting pixelated partway (the initial try with a Raspberry Pi convinced me to move on to speedier hardware).
Consider how your game's cards will be held in hand. Some edges remain visible with diminishing visibility the further you get to the opposite edges. You can use this to your advantage by putting critical in-play icons and text close to the more visible corner. Endgame or conditional info can be discretely tucked into the other corner.
oooh, des dosas (grandes crêpes indiennes) à la tomate, qui sont préparables dans la demie journée (sinon c'est 24h de fermentation pour les autres recettes) !
If you're tired of poor recommendations from the YouTube algorithm (or you keep your watch history turned off) why not make YOUR OWN YouTube? https://somegadgetguy.com/b/3yS
It's really easy to follow your favorite channels, and get MUCH faster notifications when they put out new videos 👍
