Luminar ai 23/8/2023 ![]() ![]() You can change the brush size with Radius and fine-tune the brushing with Softness and Opacity. Restore – restores to the original state, regardless of whether it was in focus or not.Defocus – adds area that is not in focus (adds bokeh).You can quite easily fix these issues with built-in brushes. Particularly difficult are areas with a lot of scattered details, such as hair.

Bokeh AI comparison: Amount 0 vs Amount 100Ĭrucially, Luminar AI automatically masked out the main subject (in this case, me). When I pushed the slider all the way to the right (100), the background became beautifully blurred. Pay attention to the amount of detail in the background in the image below. Conversely, moving it to the left “unblurs” the background. In other words, moving the slider to the right blurs the background in your images. The amount slider controls the strength of the bokeh effect. Now, let’s break down this tool as it has quite some features that you need to understand to take full advantage of its power. And you’ll be able to get to work immediately. If you come back to the same images later, it will instantaneously load the depth map. During this time, Bokeh AI creates a depth map for that image. When you open it for the first time for that image, it will take a couple of seconds to process it (the Luminar AI logo in the top left will be glowing). ![]()

Most characters in atext3/8/2023 ![]() If you want to check them out you click on one links below and it will take you to the Power Apps formulas reference.Mahmoud Abdelwahab: Here we have a textarea with a placeholder value of "start typing!" and a text that will show the Total Number of characters. There are a few more text functions I use less often. show a number with currency formatting get the current time in a custom defined formatĪnother technique I use often is to format a decimal number as a currency. get the current time in a pre-definded format. Several pre-defined formats can be found in the documentation or I can create my own custom format if needed. I want to control exactly what the user sees so I always define the formatting in my Power Apps. Text( NumberOrDateTime, CustomFormat )Ī datetime value will appear in the default format found on a users device if no formatting instructions are provided. The Text function converts a number or datetime value to text and formats it. The TrimEnds function makes this painless to do. Sometimes I encounter ‘dirty data’ that has extra whitepsaces and needs cleaning. TrimEnds removes the blank spaces from the start and end of a text string. Check out this page for a full list of Char codes. Some text strings are hard to write because they include symbols that are a a part of the Power Apps language or other tricky characters. The Char function returns a matching ASCII character from an integer value ![]() When I want to show the customer’s full address I can combine all of the columns by using the concatenate function. The Concatenate function joins together many text strings into one.Ĭustomer address information is typically divided into several columns when stored in a datasource (e.g. User().EmailĪnother idea is to use the Proper function to capitalize the first letter of each word in a name when it is spelled in lower case. I could have also used the Upper function to do the same thing. The equals operator used to check for a match is case sensitive so I convert the email to all lower case letters before making the comparison. When an app is opened I like to check the current user’s email to determine what role they should have (e.g. The Upper, Lower and Proper functions change the case of a text string. Substitute(ThisItem.PhoneNumber, "-", "")Ī more straight-forward use case for the LEN function would be to display the current length of a text string vs. If I want the phone number without the dash instead I can use the Substitute function to change the text string. In this case each block of number is separated by a dash. Phone numbers are stored in a variety of different formats. Substitute( String, OldString, NewString ) The Substitute function replaces matching sections of a text string with another value. Len(ThisItem.EmployeeName)-Find(" ", ThisItem.EmployeeName) After determining the length of the full name I can substract the position of the blank space and use the Right function to isolate only the part I want. Now I want to get each employee’s last name. The Len function returns the length of a text string. Left(ThisItem.EmployeeName, Find(" ", ThisItem.EmployeeName)-1) I can’t use the Left or Right functions because each name has a different length.īy using the Find function to determine the position of the blank space in the employee name then combining it with the Left function allows me to get the first name. Suppose I have a table of employee names and want to extract the first name. The Find function locates the position of a text string inside another text string.įind( FindString, WithinString ) I can get each segment of the account like this. The code below has three parts: State (NY), Year (2021) and Sequence Number (003). Mid( String, StartingPosition, NumberOfCharacters )Ĭompanies love to use account codes to organize their records. The Left, Right and Mid functions are used to extract part of a text string. Upper, Lower, Proper Functions Concatenate Function In this short guide I will show you how to use Power Apps text functions and give everyday examples of how you use them in your own apps. In fact, according to my friend Sancho Harker they might just be the most underrated feature of Power Apps! Power Apps text functions can do all of these things and more. Often, it needs to be manipulated in some way: extract part of the text, format it differently or remove unnecessary spaces or symbols. Text is the most common data type in Power Apps. ![]()

Movie about zeus poseidon and hades3/8/2023 ![]() The movie ended up doing well enough that it garnered a sequel, Wrath of the Titans, not that long after. But it’s still entertaining to watch as a fan of Greek mythology. Do I think it could have been done better? Of course. But I can’t deny that the effects and the score of the newest Clash of the Titans definitely beats the older one. I’ll be honest - I personally like Clash of the Titans from the 1980s for story purposes, because the most recent Clash of the Titans lacks a bit in that regard. Clash of the Titans is loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus, the demigod of Zeus, and vows to take his revenge on Hades, the ruler of the underworld, when Perseus witnesses his mortal family die. ![]() This fantasy movie is a remake of the 1981 film of the same name. (Image credit: Warner Bros.) Clash Of The Titans (2010) It is exaggerated, but you can’t deny the film isn't a ton of fun. Gerard Butler is perfectly cast as King Leonidas, and the story of him leading his men into this fight is truly one of the best war stories I’ve watched, based on the ancient Greek Battle of Thermopylae. The visuals alone are something that can lure you in, mixed in with ancient fantastical creatures and a storyline that will captivate you from beginning to end. The following story is the heroic and tragic tale of Leonidas and his men, from the beginning of their war to the end.ĭirected by Zack Snyder, 300 is a bloody good time. His opposer is Persian Xerxes, otherwise known as the "God-King," who has a battle-force of 300,000 soldiers. We watch the underdog, King Leonidas, as he leads only 300 Spartan soldiers into battle. Probably one of the most well-known movies with inspiration from Greek mythology is 300, starring Gerard Butler. With the live-action Hercules remake in the works, now's a good time to check out Disney's animated film. Regardless, Hercules still has so much potential, taking inspiration from Greek lore and blending it with humor. ![]() ![]() The soundtrack is amazing, the cast is wonderful, the animation well-done - it had all the makings for one of Disney’s greatest hits, but yet, it didn’t do as well at the box office compared to its predecessors. There is so much to love about it that I wish it got so more praise back then. Hands down, Hercules is such an underrated Disney movie. In this version of the tale of the famous Greek god, the titular character finds out later on in life that he is the son of Zeus, and now sets out on a quest of his own to try and become a hero and a true God once more. Next up, we have one of Disney's many films that came out during the 1990s, Hercules. ![]()

Sheepshaver svn3/8/2023 ![]() I actually installed Windows using Bochs since it's easier to change floppy disks this way. This is how I use DosBox.ĭosbox works great with Windows 3.1 and adobe Photoshop 4.0 in 24-bit color svga, using S3 software drivers. Surface RT works good with, dosbox and notepad++. Plenty of speed for other software too like dosbox, and it's electrically efficient. Works with Linux, and Sheepshaver should be full speed without machine translation using MacOS 9 since it's PowerPC. I think books about programming for computer processors are probably going to be more simple and straightforward with better results for Mars CD developers, since they specifically target a particular processor. That's probably a good useful link posted about 68000 assembly. ![]() Lots of examples for hardware extensions including firewire, usb and communicating with C.D. has the last updates from August 2001 for MacOS 9 users. Still very useful stuff here for Mars CD development. Unfortunately no Mars stuff here but might be placed elsewhere with pre-y2k Apple developer tools. Supposedly NeXstep developer teams might've outsourced to Apple and or Microsoft during 1996 same time Mars dissipated from the market and MacOS for PowerPC being marketed. and marketing campaign "Welcome to the NeXt Level". Possibly setup by the same team which did the Sega ftp with the developer network, as well as the NeXtstep O.S. For example, this three gigabyte "Apple Macintosh Programmers Workshop" ftp is very similar to the old Sega ftp and has lots of useful tools for core 68000 and other supplements (for both 68000 & PowerPc). Think this had the older non-version 3deditor, mapeditor and sound tools programs for Macintosh, and gnu software (possibly the same gnu assembler to build the same Mars Doom catalogue with the shared Atari Jaguar code).Īpple appears to have a very strong coincidence with Sega during late 1990s with PowerPc. It's the oldest ftp with Mars developer software and other related tools and it was freely available by manual redirection. Please let me know of any backup/mirror to Sega's developer ftp from about 1994. Please help me in that thread if possible. My thread links to the "Macintosh Programmer's Workshop" ftp backup (it's three gigabytes). Possibly of interest is that according to the author's own website he actually worked as a consultant for Sega: Īcted as an expert witness and consultant for Sega, the Japanese games machine manufacturer.įor anyone interested in finding a copy, the fourth edition of the book also contains a chapter on 68K programming, but I don't have that version of the book, so I don't know if its still relevant. Since then I've worked through most of the relevant chapter and while it obviously isn't Sega specific, it does seem to be a good way to get started with learning the 68000 itself. The book includes about 90 pages on 68K programming plus a further 30 pages listing the instructions and what they do. Not too long ago I bought a copy of 'Principles of Computer Hardware' (third edition) by Alan Clements. I know this one isn't a link, but I think its a useful resource anyway and I'm not sure where else to put it. ![]() Just starting on some of your tutorials :DĮDIT: This is awesome! Biggest hurdle was setting up the toolchain. You'll put your own code in the loop, or just before it if you want it to run only once. zip I linked to also has some code to set up the Genesis hardware and make it ready for use, then run in a loop. If there are errors, it will log them to error.log. It should spit out a ROM named output.bin. ![]() All you have to do is write your code in the source.asm file, and double click on make.bat. () It's from one of two really basic tutorials I have on my web site. I use a batch script to automatically run the compiler with all of the correct parameters. Are there any tutorials on that rather than the code side?įor a development environment, I use notepad++ to write code, the exodus emulator for testing, and a 68k ASM compiler. I would like to learn ASM though but the biggest stumbling block is setting up the development environment. I've been using Stef's dev kit for my game and it's fantastic. ![]()

Daddy issues meaning3/7/2023 ![]() I was a teenager who longed for a father figure but didn’t know how to reconcile the idea of a dad that I’d seen on network TV and my real dad, the well-meaning stranger. He was in his late teens when I was born and presumably not ready for a kid (hell, I’m 29 and I’m still not ready) and by the time we got to know each other, it all felt a little bit too late. It’s not through any fault of his or mine, it just is. How could I not have seen something so obvious? As I told my psychologist the last part, I went “Ohhh…”. It had truly never occurred to me that my dad had affected my life in any tangible way because he’d never been there to do anything wrong. I was speechless and, quite honestly, a bit dumbfounded. In a sort of fake ponder, my psychologist said, “Did you ever think it might have something to do with your dad?”. In fact, my mum’s expression of love is so suffocating that I often wish that she would forget about me and leave me alone. Having been raised by an overbearing single mother, I couldn’t understand what possible childhood trauma might have made me worry that somebody might forget me. In my phone note, under the heading ‘What I want to talk about this week’, I had written the following: ‘I’m scared that if I don’t proactively keep in touch with my friends, then they’re going to forget about me’. It wasn’t over a romantic relationship – god knows I haven’t had one of those for a very long time – but an insecurity that had popped up with regard to one of my platonic friends. ![]() So, why, pray tell, am I referring to an idea as outdated as ‘daddy issues’ in 2022? It started a few months ago, when I found myself sobbing at my psychologist’s office. ![]() Interested to hear how others navigate the world? Head to our Life section. ![]() Do we diagnose longtime bachelors with having ‘mummy issues’? No, we simply call them players and we move on. Blaming my never-ending parade of dysfunctional relationships with emotionally unavailable men on ‘daddy issues’ felt lazy, and honestly, deeply sexist. I’ve always believed that the concept of ‘daddy issues’ belonged somewhere deep in the past, alongside hysteria and the belief that anything remotely column-shaped is trying to emulate a penis. After all, society says that women are often doomed to marry men who remind them of their fathers, stemming a lot from the findings of Freud, aka the daddy of psychoanalytic theory. It goes something like: “I don’t know if I’ve mostly dated tall White guys because I’m a self-hating brown woman, or if it’s because I subconsciously want to fuck my dad?”. There’s a really inappropriate joke that I love telling but I almost never do because I don’t want people to think I’m a freak. “It occurred to me that I’d spent most of my childhood feeling like my dad had forgotten about me.” ![]()

Kirby super star ultra sprites ice3/7/2023 ![]() ![]() I don't see how Ultra is so much better for a lot of people. What is your opinion on Kirby Super Star and it's remake?īut why? I don't understand why people say so. It's still Super Star - and it's still a masterpiece. The Marx Soul and Galacta Knight fights and the entierty of Revenge of the King are essentially what gives KSSU an advantage over KSS - but i really think that overall, KSS is better. They just rehash the game in a fine way - they're fun, but not necessary. They're just extra modes - play as helper, play arena, but harder, play as Meta Knight. but none of them (aside from Revenge of the King) are really important. KSSU also has a few new subgames, they're fine. Not to say KSSU doesn't have some things done better visually then the original - some of the backgrounds are much more lively, like the background of Planet Mecheye in MWW. Plus, in my opinion, the game looks worse then the original - some of the sprites are just upscaled versions of GBA sprites and some levels don't look unique anymore - remember that mechanical section in Great Cave Offensive's Old Tower? In KSSU, it looks the same as the other parts of the castle. But the problem is their quality - i know that the DS probably couldn't handle better, but again - why not just do it in spritework OR make the game for the Wii? It would have been a lot better that way. The cutscenes are also worse - sure, the 3D cutscenes themselves are awesome, have better music to fit some of them and are really good at replicating the game's style. Ultra requires you to have TWO DS'es, TWO game cartridges and you HAVE to look on only one screen! I would have much liked it to do Wi-Fi multiplayer - imagine that! And if the DS couldn't handle that, what if KSSU was released for the Wii? That would have probably solved both the problem with how many consoles are required AND allowed Wi-Fi multiplayer! That would have been awesome, but sadly, it isn't. ![]() The original required you to have a SNES (two controllers were already bundled) and the game. Sure, both Ultra and Original have things better done at core (Ultra added the select button to drop ability, but made some bosses much more boring to fight), but from my experience, they are on the same level at the core. But in my opinion, the original is better - let me explain.Īt core, they're technically the same game. Each mode is reallly fun, the music is awesome and fits perfectly, the ability movesets are great, the abilities themselves are fun to use, helpers make for even more fun and it's hella fun to play in multiplayer. In my opinion, both of those games are masterpieces. ![]()

![]() The commercial Avast One suite does more, naturally, but this free edition is packed with features. If you consider security software interesting rather than tedious, if a tight budget is the only reason you don’t buy a full security suite, Avast One Essential is perfect for you. As is common, protection under iOS is limited, but it does include VPN, filtering fraudulent and malicious websites, and extra protection for your photos. On Android you get antivirus, VPN, junk cleanup, and privacy protection, among other features, though anti-theft is noticeably absent. Its macOS edition earns high scores from the labs, and its ransomware protection, browser trace cleanup, and VPN work just as they do on Windows. Avast has varying degrees of protection for macOS, Android, and iOS. Many free antivirus utilities work only on the Windows platform. Getting a list of junk files and broken registry items doesn’t cost anything cleaning up the found mess is a premium feature. For example, the free edition will scan and identify apps with missing security patches and update them at your command, but won’t keep your apps updated automatically. Other protective services include a permission-based ransomware protection system, a basic firewall, and a bandwidth-limited VPN.Īvast does reserve some features for paying customers. It also takes high scores in our own hands-on testing. ![]() ![]() All four of the independent testing labs we follow include Avast in their reporting, and it aces almost every test. With Avast One Essential you get award-winning antivirus protection for free, and much more besides. And since they’re free, you can try several before settling on your favorite.Īvast has been supplying antivirus protection for as long as there's been an antivirus industry. Some take the fight to the browser, working to ensure you never even browse to a malware-hosting site or get fooled into turning over your credentials to a phishing site.īelieve it or not, some of these freebies even beat all but the best for-pay equivalents. All the free antivirus programs we've selected here offer real-time malware protection. Your antivirus should certainly have the ability to root out existing malware, but its ongoing task is to prevent ransomware, botnets, Trojans, and other types of nasty programs from getting a foothold. Well, good news! You can get your PCs and devices protected without spending a dime by choosing a free antivirus solution. It may seem unfair that you’re forced to spend money on an antivirus to fight these threats. Ransomware cuts to the chase and demands payment if you want your encrypted files back.
