You’ll have to make a recording or something, not about to sign up for this

Just using Letterboxd decade filters gives a pretty good snapshot of the great cinema from each decade.

Yea I’ve looked at this stuff before. Usually the outages aren’t that long, more of an annoyance than a problem. I’ve got some UPSs around the house to keep the tech gear going, just looking for a cheap solution to the noise machine shutting off

Yea I’ve got some Cyberpower UPSs for bigger equipment but it seemed like overkill to add a $100 battery to a $20 noise machine. Plus they’re actually pretty noisy on battery mode (they buzz)

Yea I think this is the way to go. I’ve got some Cyberpower UPSs around the house for tech equipment but even with the beeping muted they’re still pretty noisy (like a buzzing). Looks like these mini ones might be the way to go.

The opening scene of Kong Skull Island is my go to for showing off sound gear. It starts with silence, then a plane going overhead and a fist fight, then a big bassy monkey.

Oddly the TV show Bodkin on Netflix really used the surrounds. I don’t know if it’s Atmos but whoever did the mix really loved to utilize all the sound channels.

Looks like you can’t self host it right now?

Not familiar with any of this except Astro Boy… So Astro Boy

Very cool, I wonder how he finds the matches.

Good find! I was wondering what happened to it

I used these guys

They were the only ones I could find that did the ultra wide in metal (it’s 40x60). I added the gloss white as metal prints can sometimes dull the colors.

Since it was my favorite shot I got it printed. I extended the left edge with Photoshop to get an ultra wide 2:3 print (the original right edge was cropped out of the photo posted here). Got it done on a reflective metal, looks great in the dining room.

Coding.

The other day I needed to set up a node service with an HTML front-end that allows me to upload files from a browser that end up on my machine hosted in a docker container. Something like this would take me the better part of a day to complete. Through a series of prompts I got what I needed deployed in less than an hour.

Then unit tests. Sometimes all I need is good code coverage and since it’s just tests you can verify the quality of the generated code if it runs and covers the lines you want. I’ve saved a ton of hours of tedious code coverage work this way.

Horrifying 😂

Took the same photo 20 years ago (except i was where those people are standing in OPs picture)

But then people won’t flood to the comment section to correct them

Essentially he came in and took over. Now the reason this has been cause for concern is his pedigree which was previously running Discovery where he oversaw its full conversion into a reality TV mill. He merged this new Discovery with Warner and the thing that has most people worried is with this comes HBO which for a long time has been a bastion of the highest quality TV. Renaming the streaming service from HBO Max to Max shows where his intentions are. Maybe you’ll tune into House of Dragons then finish the night with F Boy Island. Maybe tomorrow you just watch F Boy Island and they can stop spending big money on prestige TV. That’s the end game anyway. HBO generally worked because there were people at the top fighting and greenlighting the best stuff. It’s quite likely we’ll be seeing less and less of that in the near future.
