"SURVIVING"

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

Okay, I may want to make a whole ass data centre in my den, but the one thing I'm not touching is Kubernetes.

Like, the idea sounds awesome.

I don't like how fucking crazy it is to setup 1 (one) docker container.

I don't wanna write a helm chart, I want to just tell it "run this".

A QUESTION FOR ALL MY COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS:

what do you like in a app/UI library/framework?

if you wanted to make an app, what would you use? and do you have any thoughts/opinions on existing app/UI libs, like GTK, Qt, Electron, WinUI, WPF, etc.?

personally, I have a few of thoughts on the subject, and I want to hear from other people.

the way the wire sets up these two opposing forces in garak's psyche that I think continue to wrestle it out in the background for the rest of the show -- on one side, his father-who-won't-even-acknowledge-that going 'I hope you keep living in shame and despair and desolate isolation for decades to come sport😜' (tain has basically gone 'be so kind as to create a hell of your own making and then stay in there for me, there's a good boy'. and garak has done that. oof. tain made him build a closet in his own head and locked him in it by doing nothing except make it clear he's not allowed to get out because he deserves to be in there. he never had to tell garak to do anything; that's what makes him special. I. am in shambles)

and then on the other side coming in with a steel chair, julian's soft steady voice going 'no one deserves this' and 'I don't want to hurt you' and 'I'll help you through it'.

one side that not only utterly abandoned him to his own misery but engineered it in the first place to control him, and one side that boldly, brazenly, doggedly refuses to abandon him, both on principle and out of personal care, no matter what garak says or does through the episode to try to throw him off. (and accepting the personal care aspect seems to part of bashir's journey of the episode; he has to admit to himself that yeah they are friends at this point. he is not personally watching over this guy while he sleeps like a lanky dweeb guardian angel for purely professional reasons lol thank you for calling his fucking bluff jadzia.) tain and bashir are basically having a quiet faux-affable battle for garak's soul at the end of that ep and while it starts small, down the road it eventually becomes clear julian won. tain gambles that his own influence will always triumph in the long run (he got there first, after all), and he's wrong.

all of this is presumably also why garak writes a stitch in time specifically to julian (aside from all the normal gay reasons) -- at the end of that he all but says that it's partly because he knows in such a deep way that julian would never judge him as harshly as he judges himself. the kindest voice in garak's inner world is julian bashir, that's how deeply he's internalized it. what the fuck. that's one of the most beautiful ways of touching someone's life I can imagine I feel nauseous and disoriented adn I need to go lie down for a while

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, some objects in the background, such as Peach's Castle at the beginning of the first level, appear to shift slightly in perspective as the camera scrolls by, to increase the sense that the scene is three-dimensional despite the gameplay only being confined to a two-dimensional plane.

However, due to the game using orthographic projection (a manner of rendering where objects are not distorted by perspective), the standard way of implementing this effect - to simply place the object at a distance to the camera and pan it across, letting the perspective shift naturally - is not actually possible. Instead, the designers used a trick where objects that need to shift simply rotate along a central axis as the camera moves back and forth. The effect is slightly optically inaccurate but subtle enough to mistake for true perspective shifting during gameplay.

By modifying the game's code to add a multiplier to the rotation value, it becomes easily visible, revealing the trick. Note how the castle stands still when the camera is not moving, and rotates in the opposite direction of the camera movement.
