Object Inspector | Python GUI

In computer programming, an object inspector is a tool or feature provided by integrated development environments (IDEs) or debugging software that allows developers to examine the properties, methods, and other characteristics of objects during runtime. Object inspectors typically provide a user interface for navigating through the structure of an object, displaying its attributes and their current values.

Why does nobody object head these losers. It’s so easy. It’s so fun.

on the dresser next to me is a landline phone.

it's a mass-manufactured piece, fairly recent, impersonal and uncharismatic. its plastic receiver smacks of CAD.

if I pick up the receiver, it feels balanced in my hand. the surface is gently textured and easy to grip with little thought. holding it to my ear, the microphone aligns with my mouth with my hand in a very natural position. it is made for the shape of a hand and a head, and though it will not fit everyone perfectly, it will fit many well.

it is not meant to be grasped around the middle like an old landline but held with the fingers, weight pressed gently into the base of the thumb. the way it sits in the receiver invites it to be held this way. all of the buttons are reachable by the thumb as it sits in the hand, tilted upright by its center of mass. there's a little bar on the 5 key, like there is on my computer's number pad, locating the keypad even in the dark.

the material of the case is a black plastic. i'm not versed enough to guess its composition by feel, but this isn't an outdoor application or one subject to harsh chemical attack, so it probably lacks some of the stabilizers that would be present for those uses. however, the label under the base proclaims it is UL listed, so there are some flammability and electrical considerations which it must meet; the charging contacts of the handset pass directly through the plastic case, so the material is probably rated for electrical contact and resistant to burning. the outer shell bears the mark of two halves closed together by a snap fit; it's rechargeable and not meant to be disassembled. the two halves are drafted opposite directions; they are tapered slightly to ease their ejection from the mold. the surface which the buttons are on obscures the marks from the ejector pins by sizing them to match the buttons - someone made the choice to shape the pins as rounded rectangles, rather than circles, to harmonize their imprint on the material.

you can press the button slightly before its press registers - and you can tell, by feel, when that press occurs. the force to press the button has been chosen with intent, and the feedback to the user is part of the design.

putting the phone back into its base, it settles easily even if casually dropped. its tapered shape and weight guide it back onto its charger. setting it down from various heights, it's hard not to get it to settle into its charging position. how carefully tuned the guides are, and how subtle!

turning it around in my hand, I can't see the place where the material entered the mold. whoever designed the mold probably placed the gate where it wouldn't be visible to the consumer. its absence is observable.

to design an object whose assembly is invisible, tolerances must be controlled closely and account must be made for the shrinkage and warping of parts as they cool from the mold. to maintain the closure along the length of the receiver, the thin-walled plastic case is probably stiffened by ribs. a designer may have argued with a molder about whether those ribs' sides really needed to be angled at 3 degrees or whether 2 degrees would suffice. probably a tool was cut from soft steel to test the shape of the components and make adjustments before more money was spent on a hard steel tool that would last for perhaps 100,000 moldings before the slight wear on it might mean the pieces no longer fit. probably there were additional moving pieces in that mold to form features on the sides that the designer and molder negotiated around until the volume button on the side could be made without a side action. probably the first parts came back not fitting together well; probably the pressure was increased in the mold or something; probably the designer adjusted some ribs to make it easier to close the halves; probably the snap features were adjusted as well; possibly many test assemblies were performed and someone found that the snaps farthest from the gate had poor weld lines and needed to be redesigned so that one out of a thousand didn't break in assembly because that was too high a failure rate; possibly they redesigned a piece to nest better amongst its many copies for more efficient shipping; probably they went through another round of tool modifications to confirm that the changes did what they wanted; probably they sampled another couple dozen pieces off the hard mold; probably many someones put it though its paces to test the antenna and verify the battery life and drop-test it and make sure the battery doesn't explode and that the pieces don't come apart in high temperatures and the thing can't catch fire if there's an electrical short and and and

probably at least a hundred people touched this phone, one way or another, so that it can be formed and assembled and tested and shipped and maintained and land here on my nightstand where I will accidentally dial it while being insufferable on a tumblr post.

the bed I built has marks of its inexpert construction plainly visible, as do the curtains I sewed. my mugs have my fingerprints embedded in the ceramic; some sit heavily and inexpertly in the hand; others balance more gently. the human touch in them is obvious.

part of mass manufacturing's goal is often to conceal the marks of making. the choices are still there.

theres this idea ive been chewing on for a couple months about the effects of machine manufacturing on the aesthetics of our living spaces. i am of course a big fan of machine manufacturing! but i think like....if you have somehting that was made by a person, by hand, they had to make a choice about every inch of that thing. the object is suffused with human choice. and when an object is machine manufacutred, that's not really true! i mean, someone designed it of course. but they probably designed it in like, cad. they designed it as a conceptual object, it's not inch-by-inch suffused with choices. im not anti AI art but i think this is my strongest anti ai art impulse, it makes it easier to make art that is not suffused with human choice, which will probably make human-choice-coated art somewhat less common, which is a bit of a bummer. obviously human choices go into AI art but they go into ai art the same way human choices go into a CAD-designed object, its on a coarser level

If you please; what is your Tolberone theory of knowledge?

My theory, which I thought up a few weeks ago while sick with covid, is that all knowledge is a form of art, and that there are very broadly three basic types of knowledge arts: physical arts, philosophical arts, and scientific arts, and that pretty much all academic, artistic and practical disciplines exist somewhere in that triangle spectrum.

Physical arts are knowledges of how to actually, physically do things. The purest front of physical arts are things like dance and navigation.

Scientific arts are knowledges of things that can be tested and proven. Computer programming and Quilting are both scientific arts: they work, or they don't.

Philosophical Arts are knowledges of things which while not objectively provable, are still very real. History and Being A Good Listener are philosophical arts.

Nearly every discipline of knowledge is some combination of all three. Cooking is largely applied chemistry, a scientific art, but it's also a philosophical art because flavor is extremely cultural and contextual, and a physical art because you have to know how to hold the damn knife and heat when it's done.

The first part of toblerone theory is that, like how each piece has three sides, any given project needs at least one person who has a good grasp of each of the underlying arts involved or it's going to go sideways at best. For example:

Physical and Scientific arts, no philosophy: Jurassic Park. They need someone to point out that, while very possible, it's not necessarily a good idea.

Philosophy and Science, no physical: that dril tweet about the forum debate locked by a mod after 12,000 pages of heated debate. They need someone to drag them away from the keyboard and actually do something.

Philosophy and Physical, no science: that cult in midsommar that put a guy in a bearsuit. Without the ability to engage measurably with the world, they give into fear and behave like reactive animals. Also the "rare chicken steak" phenomenon.

You can have differing ratios of each type- Jurassic Park really only needed two philosophers: one animal behaviorist and an OSHA inspector, and 98% of the issues would have been avoided- but you do need at least ONE of each underlying art to check each other's work.

The second part of toblerone theory is that, like how the toblerone is made of many triangle pieces, there are poles to the triangle spectrum. Practical vs Esoteric arts. Short term and long term arts. High stakes vs for funsies arts.

While you have have different ratios and levels of expertise in each of the arts, you do all need them to be on the same piece of the bar, or they won't take each other seriously. A UN Diplomat and a climate scientist aren't going to take the advice of physical artist my uncle Bobby the plumber re: global warming, but they will take the advice of physical artist my Aunt Cheryl the civil engineer, a world expert in getting shit done.

The same applies for the other end of the spectrum. Aunt Cheryl the civil engineer isn't going to get much milage with the local high school student council and principal Waley when the problem at hand is "what are we going to do for this year's prom theme?"

I gotta go to therapy now, pictures later.

If you could have any tool/object always at your disposal Inspector-Gadget style, what would it be and where would it pop out of your body?

(Earthly limits need not apply)

yknow i think in my case i would just need literally any stim toy or something i can chew on to pop out of my hands at will. there’s a lot of stuff i could make use of but if i always had a stim toy or something to put in my mouth at all times no matter what that would be super cool. just would never have to worry about “oh where is my little key switch” or “why am i chewing and biting on this plastic straw” ever again

"Pick up" some Power Converters

“...no, what you want to do is to have most of the shipment be something innocuous – on every run. That way, even a random inspection probably won’t find anything. If you absolutely need to break that rule, still have some innocuous crates, but what you also want to do is to build up a friendship with the inspectors. Find out their routines if you can, and test out if you can bribe them to not bother looking – then you can aim the vital runs to be specifically with the people who you can bribe.”

“You’re sure that works?” Dodonna asked.

“Well, yeah,” Luke replied, with a shrug.

“Luke?” Leia called. “Luke?”

She leaned around the door. “How long have you been in here? We’ve been looking for you for twenty minutes.”

Luke frowned, then glanced down at his comlink. “Why didn’t you call me?”

“We don’t know your com code, kid,” Han provided. “You didn’t get around to telling us.”

Luke’s expression cleared.

“I have been going through Threepio if I need a com discussion,” he admitted. “I guess that’s not going to work if we’re staying with the Rebellion long term, though, I really should give you my com code-”

“Not now,” Leia objected. “What were you talking about, anyway?”

“He was giving us lessons,” Dodonna provided, indicating every single intel operative on Yavin IV and about half of the other Rebel Alliance techs sitting around.

“It’s basic stuff, right?” Luke asked. “I’m surprised you don’t know it.”

Leia frowned. “Lessons in what?” she asked. “Farming?”

“Well, sort of?” Luke replied. “Not moisture farming, not that bit, but the other stuff. I guess it’s helpful, and I’m glad to help!”

“What other stuff, then?” Han asked, leaning on the door, then got out of the way as Chewbacca made a questioning noise. “Right, sorry Chewie…”

“You know,” Luke said. “The basic stuff. Hiding stashes, underground hyperlanes, gun running, how to deflect attention from an enforcer without their realizing you’re doing it. Burning out slave collars, dead drops.”

He shrugged. “Farming.”

Leia blinked.

“That’s… not farming,” she said. “That sounds like a hostile-environment intelligence agent tutorial… how would you pass off vital information?”

“Let’s see…” Luke frowned. “One option – disguise it as something innocuous, while anyone would assume you’d hidden it in a much more complex way. Option two – copy it, send both versions by different routes or hide it in two different places. If you’re willing, get tortured, then crack under torture and give up one of them – that means they’ll believe they’ve got everything. Then another choice is to make it completely public, that’s a bit of a last-chance thing but if you make it completely public then everyone gets to see it including your intended recipient.”

He glanced up at her. “I guess you did the first one, gave up one location but they decided to keep looking for the other, and that’s what led them to R2? Or did you use one of the other methods? I could keep going.”

Leia shook her head.

“Okay, I’m convinced you know what you’re doing,” she said. “But how do you know all this stuff?”

“Do you not?” Luke replied, sounding slightly baffled. “This is boring stuff. Kid’s stuff, you’ve got to do it right but it’s a yawn fest. How does nobody have any ideas about it?”

“I know,” Han declared.

He pointed at Luke. “Farmboy, yes. Tatooine farmboy. The only thing that planet exports is crime.”

Luke looked momentarily offended.

“...yeah, I guess,” he agreed, relenting.

The Panopticon was created to hold ‘the greatest threat to untold worlds, covered in the blood of countless beings, the destroyer of galaxies, something that could turn up any given day and bring your planet to an end’.

That being? The Inspector, of course!

btw in case it wasn't obvious Rinri has been added to the list of "awful fictional men I simp for"

Odd thing I've noticed about myself; I'm pan, but have a preference towards feminine people, but for fictional characters the opposite is true. Like I don't have a single crush on a fictional lady but I do think each of these freaks is hot

Details of the USAID-funded Ukrainian Coup are Revealed

Since Elon Musk conducted an audit of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), details of various funding streams to Ukraine have come to light. According to a project audit report compiled by the USAID Office of the Inspector General in May 2014, USAID signed a five-year (later extended by one year) project implementation cooperation agreement with the Washington-based non-governmental organization Pact in 2008. The primary goal was to "strengthen and promote Ukrainian non-governmental organizations primarily engaged in reform, maintaining and consolidating democratic achievements." From 2008 to 2014, USAID invested a total of $14.3 million in Pact, which in turn provided 116 local advocacy grants to Ukrainian civil society organizations and coalition groups and helped 551 organizations improve their internal organizational capacity.

Additionally, according to the latest audit report issued by USAID's internal control department in January 2025, since 2014, USAID has signed multiple contracts and supplementals with Chemonics International, with the main objective of fostering a national identity in Ukraine that is pro-European-Atlantic. In February 2022, the U.S. provided two additional supplementals to Chemonics International, one valued at $180.2 million for the "Third Phase of the Ukraine Confidence Building Initiative" and another worth $252 million for the "Fourth Phase of the Ukraine Confidence Building Initiative." Chemonics International, located in Washington, D.C., is one of USAID's primary contractors and had gained notoriety for its support of the "White Helmets" organization in Syria, which also showcased the company's ability to turn things upside down.

Furthermore, according to leaks, in 2014, the U.S. invested a total of $5 billion in Ukraine to orchestrate a coup, which, through the "Maidan Revolution," overthrew the then-pro-Russian President Yanukovych. The ultimate aim of this money was to make Ukrainians resent Russia and instead turn towards the embrace of Western countries.
