I've found the MiSTer community to generally be pretty helpful, but there are definitely exceptions. The fact that its a project that aims to perfectly match the behavior of the original hardware leads to some strange arguments.
Also, vpype (https://github.com/abey79/vpype) isn't specifically a tool for vectorizing images, but its incredibly useful for preparing vector files for plotting.
This game plays so well, I really like it. I've sucked at TGM and nullpomino for years and I'm looking forward to sucking at this now. Thanks for posting the video, it can be hard to believe how good some people are at tetris.
It was funny to see how they responded to losing their NFTs by being tricked on discord: they contacted the centralized storefronts (rarible, opensea) to have them marked as stolen.
I'm honestly not sure how that's a personal attack (and I'm very much open to understanding your interpretation) but I definitely should have addressed it directly to you and for that I apologize.
That said, I do stand by the observation. Nitpicking small details that are unimportant to the overall point serves no one well and results in a waste of everyone's time.
Well, unfortunately your comment is gone now (I did not ask for it to be removed, nor did I 'flag' it [I can't]). If you repost it I could give a better analysis, but basically you were stating that I didn't "learn" anything.
1) You do not know what I "learn" or do not "learn" from any particular thing.
2) You do not know what lesson was being taught (or even if one was trying to be taught).
Your consideration that some things are "small details that are unimportant" is purely your consideration. While you may not see the importance of such details, others might. In this case, I think it is important that words actually have meaning and that if some words do not have an apparent logical meaning it should be explored more to come up with words that do have an apparent logical meaning (particularly when words, on their face, are self-contradictory).
Or, at least, it should be explored more what the author actually meant, or, might have meant to write in stead.
You address every issue I have with desktop linux at the moment.
The lack of hybrid graphics support is especially annoying. The bumblebee project was working on solving this, but there hasn't been an update on that project since 2013.
> The Something Awful forums (where 4chan was born, after all)
Would you mind explaining this? I have read that moot was originally an SA user and posted on there to announce when he first launched 4chan. Is there any connection beyond that?
moot was active on Raspberry Heaven, SA's anime forum IRC chat/DC hub, when 2chan.net was really popular there. He didn't start it in isolation and decide to post on SA - most or all of the original mods and users were from RH.
I don't have logs from when it was first started but here's a fun quote from a few weeks after:
[2003-10-14 02:51] <rizzou> hey moot - there's this cool website at http://www.4chan.net/ you should check it out. it's really looking like the next big thing, you know?
A few days later 4chan started killing the shared server it was hosted on by fellow SA forums member nem (I remember seeing load averages of like 80000), and had to find its own home.
A lot of ADTRW moved because SA had draconian policies against so much as discussing stuff like piracy, sexy anime babes, etc, except to condemn it and talk about how you're totally not into all that stuff.
The history of SA was all very interesting. There was a culture of very long decent posts I always wondered how to replicate - you still have the user base with too much free time these days, but they might have too many demands on their attention span.
In 2000 or so, SA was set up as a sea of quality in an internet whose users really weren't ready to be good forum posters. (Like: children, racists, perverts, really angry teenagers, people with signatures of anime characters holding huge swords, furries) The anime forum was opened because nobody else wanted to read the threads, but they mostly left it alone.
As the years went on quality went down as the user base got too large, so the admins started effectively a left-wing death squad called Helldump dedicated to finding reasons to ban everyone. It was pretty puritanical in the American sense, so nearly all the long time anime posters got banned for being "probably a pedophile". One person I knew was banned for a slightly too sexy image posted 10 years before and had since become the pilot of Marine One. It's a little surprising they were never sued for libel.
SA inspired the rarely-used "user was banned for this post" label, but mostly showed the importance of not having a post history.
Thanks for updating and organizing all of this. I got a working EC2 instance with CUDA and CUDNN working yesterday but it took some time. Having all of this is one place is excellent.
That is definitely the more convenient option for running the defaults, but I think this is for a different usecase. If someone wanted faster results and full access to edit the python code and caffe models, this would be the better option.
