    @schwa One priceless image away from it not mattering what you’ve spent…

    @schwa Used to be able to buy film in 100 foot long rolls and refillable film cartridges and that cut the cost down a lot. If you want to go down that route, I’d be happy to mail you my bulk roller and the cartridges I have left. There’s likely even some amount of long-expired (30 years?) Kodak Tri-X in the bulk roller :)

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa Ha! Great point. I definitely take more photos with digital than I did with film - and I took a lot with film.

    @schwa @Bluedonkey Actually not that much cheaper looking at B&H pricing. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
    Used to be back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.

    @schwa It’s definitely fun. I played around a lot in my dad’s darkroom and then the high school darkroom. Nikon FM camera and a cheap lens I bought in a pawn shop. Did a lot of senior yearbook photos and just a lot for fun.

    Wonder why iPad Pro's get along w/ just 8GB of RAM? They don't run Electron apps.

    @dxzdb Mac Classic whose case was reassembled incorrectly by someone and the floppy drive isn’t aligned with the a lot; it also needs the analog board recapped (motherboard already was by the guy I bought it from).

    And an SE/30 that’s been sitting in our basement for 10 years and in our barn before that for 10+ years. Solid chance it’s in really bad shape, unfortunately. Courage I need to muster to open it and face the reality, sad though it may be.

    @schwa Indeed fun!

    @schwa That’s neat.

    I’m not clear what the comb lines represent. Comb length seems like rate of change of the curve, maybe? What does the distance between comb origins on the curve reflect?

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa Ah, as I thought, rate of change of the curve. Very cool.

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa Thanks. That explains why I couldn’t figure out what it represented :)

    Thanks for the bezier info.

    @schwa Do you need to group some or all of these together into the same Transaction to avoid this?

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa Ah. Complicated!

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa Maybe the blend factor reset needs to happen in a swap completion or transaction…. Hmm. Definitely sounds a little tricky (!).

    Unfortunate transactions don’t do what you need because they seem like they should be able to.

    This is why I love the visual logger. This is rolling back in history a little to show that when the agent was at the location shown by the red pointer, it didn't have LOS so it figured out the best place to move to by sampling the area (see the "Winner" point) and did the pathing to that point. Mr Skelly is now strafing around the corner to shoot me, the scamp

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @sinbad How would it know you were there to make this decision? Had it seen you previously? Maybe it heard you? 🤔

    @schwa Fascinating how little the stain soaked into the wood.

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa Significant improvement!

    @schwa I like how the darker end grain contrasts with the side grain.
