Watched "Little Witch Academia". It's alright. The overarching plot however is weak and with a lot of wasted potential.

@adiwan The movies or the show?
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@nerthos the show that is on Netflix
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@adiwan Oh, yeah, the tv show. It is a bit loose in the overarching story department. The movies are more solid in that regard, but the events in them are somewhat ignored for the show.

I think I hate the Picard series. I'm glad I don't pay extra because it's included in my Amazon Prime subscription here in Germany.

@scribus I saw the latest video of "Strange Parts" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO8DQrSp5yEP937qNqTooOw and saw how he put a mug with water in the microwave and immediately thought that this was wrong.

@adiwan The high frame rate video debate is scheduled to be the next big generational tech gap, according to one headline I skimmed once online. "Gemini Man" will remain dumb, regardless.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@scribus High frame rate video is one thing but another thing to interpolate frames of lower frame rate to a higher and smooth out "choppiness", especially with non-contiguous motion like in animation with few feature points in the picture. High frame rate video will be the norm some day. Right now the amount of data is mostly not feasible or the technology is not good enough to simulate. Current films are exported in 2k because all of the rendering time and visual effects. Also visual flaws get more obvious with a higher temporal resolutions. I heard that "acting" is more apparent at higher frame rates, meaning that the acted motions and emotions are perceived as not genuine.

@adiwan I can vouch for the last bit, a perfect example is the marvel cape movies. They look just fine on tv or a cinema screen, but look at scenes in >1080 60fps on a high DPI cellphone screen and the actors look awkward, movement looks cartoony and poorly acted, you can notice the weird physics from cable pulls and all that.

I hate being tired reading a buttload of poorly written code with almost nonexistent documentation. Being tired and reading the code.

I'm proofreading a master thesis for a friend (non-native English speaker) and there are so many little idiosyncratic mistakes. Several times "treats" is written instead of "threats" or "enchanted" instead of "enhanced".

Bought a rice cooker. Finally well-cooked rice. Just 20 bucks to solve my rice woes. I hate cooking rice in a regular pot because it is hard to get it right there.

@adiwan Throw a chopped potato and some prawns in with the rice, it's the only Iron Chef recipe I've been able to pick up from the show.

@firestormdangerdash Hmmm....I'm fine with my automatic device. I don't trust high pressure and hot water enough. I already burn myself putting things out of the oven. Steam burns are nastier.

Manga I recommend: "Komi Can't Communicate". Funny, relatable, wholesome, and contains very few "WTF Japan" moments. Shoko Komi, the protagonist, has crippling social anxiety speaking or expressing herself. https://i.imgur.com/tE0sNBT.png

Code lines that are not avoidable: butt.isEnabled = true; (Enabling a button)
Monday, 13-Jan-20 09:38:51 UTC from web-
@oracle butt.setStatus(true);
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@oracle This is a property (C#). So it is just a fancier way to make the same as void isEnabled(bool setValue) and bool isEnabled() but without the parenthesis.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@adiwan C# is honestly the best Java-like ever and this is one example why.

Dammit. My electric shaver is barely functioning. The trimming mechanism is out of whack. I had a hard time getting rid of my 3 week beard. It felt like an epilator. Need to learn how to wet shave.

I wish my tablet had a larger bezel. It's uncomfortable to hold it a long time without accidentally making an input on the touch screen. I hate the trend of making screens and also smartphones and tablets shrink the bezel size.

After a year I have finally decided where and how to hang my picture frames. https://i.imgur.com/THSpYF3.jpg I put them into my hallway. At first I wanted 5 frames in a row but it'd be too busy. I think 2 rows of 4 look fine.
