The crawler at lemmyverse.net has picked up on an ngrok URL I've used for messing around with Lemmy. I was using it last night to play with PieFed, and saw it make about 20 attempts to read an API that isn't there. I thought - oh, I wonder if that will break it - and sure, enough, there wasn't a 6:00 update from it this morning. Ho hum.

These are pretty neat. Considering that close-up shots of hands are usually filmed separately (often with someone else's hands*), you can probably do similar things with lots of other movies.

  • my favourite one is in an Avengers film, where Black Widow presses a button, and the close-up is clearly a man's hand.

Yeah it was pretty nifty in lots of ways. Loads of emulators, of course, and doing stuff like compiling apps directly on the device itself was neat.

Frustrating in lots of other ways too, though. I don't think the Pyra ever really got off the ground, unfortunately.

This was always an impressive emulator - it was originally made for the Open Pandora (an ARM-based mini-computer not much bigger than a DS). It's always been free for that - it's just, you know, you'd have to own an Open Pandora (I do!)

In my mind, 'Ripley' is Sigourney Weaver in Alien. Whereas I don't think this guy will stand a chance against a Xenomorph.

Not quite, no. I know what it isn't at least.

I'll keep going - I'm sure the article's author is someone who genuinely uploaded some confidential info and then became really involved with privacy/GDPR etc, and not someone who was always been really involved with privacy/GDPR issues and now has a story to fit.

I'm gonna find this guy's image ...

Mmm, I'm sure it won't take long. Just have to remember to do it all again for .jpg, .webp, and .png.

Anyway, I'll let you know when I get it.

This post neatly replicated the one-line-at-time loading of a pic from back then, though!

I didn't include 'export FLASK_ENV=development' in the post because I wasn't sure it made a difference. It still said 'debug mode = off' when running flask either way. I've since added 'FLASK_DEBUG = 1' to the .env file, and that's given me hot reloading.

Informing a human that their work has already been done for them by a bot is oddly appropriate for this post.

It's been censored out, but it looks like it's heading for Shit Creek, appropriately enough.

Not that I'm aware of, just communities that seem like they might fit, but don't quite:

I'm sure you could make a more meta-type post in one of these though.

 

For Season 1, it took a extra year for the FX ... so maybe this means Season 2 will appear in February next year?

Maybe they were able to get some done during the strikes. Or maybe Andor will get shoved up the priority queue. Either way, it could even be out later this year.

Looking forward to it either way. I'm sure I'll find time to squeeze in an extra rewatch of Season 1 in the meantime ...

 

An introduction to the Rust language basics.

What Rust is and why you might want to learn it
Examining a simple program
Learning about the types of variable you can have (numbers, strings, tuples, arrays)
Introducing control flow with if, for, while and loop
Talking about functions and expressions

Preparing ourselves for the next video, which is about memory management

If you'd like to learn more about Unicode and character sets, try my video Interesting Characters where I share how surprisingly interesting this whole area is.

The original Dislike activity (https://endlesstalk.org/activities/dislike/e1f82f6a-d49b-4dab-b444-36c382f13c5a) has a record at endlesstalk.org, but the Like object's activity that's been undone doesn't (https://endlesstalk.org/activities/like/1f0b6132-547e-4fb5-8313-6f7b7f31be6b just returns 'No record found')

I got the same results when I tried this from lemmy.world (but I thought I'd try again from a 0.19 instance)

I found some references to this at the GitHub, but they were issues that were closed off as being fixed, so I don't know what the situation is with this now.
