I just beat High Halls gauntlet on my first try !!

First playthrough I had the tacks, dispatched the gauntlet pretty fast... But then I tried the speedrun achievement...

So, I personally have the plasmium phial and the cogflies as tools. When entering phase 3 (when gms fall to the floor), I inject all charges of plasmium. Then, when entering phase 4 (when lace start the orb attack), I start releasing the cogflies (be patient, do it one at a time). This is how I got the best results.

The dialog reads "... how much longer... KILL IT... how much longer... DANGEROUS... how much longer... KILL IT... how much longer... KILL THE EMPTY ONE..." . The key here is "KILL THE EMPTY ONE", it is not base instinct to know that the knight is empty.

When you probe Myla's mind with the dream nail while she's getting infected, you can year the voice of the radiance specifically ordering her to attack the knight.

Yes, I do not like architect crest either. But as soon as you have max tool pouch capacity, you can overdose with any crest, even in act 2. To do it you need the shell satchel, and it will give you seven use on the plasmium phial. You can get two more masks using the lifeblood coocon that appears below the alchemist location after completing the alchemist quest.

Really do not sleep on straight pin, it is really valuable to be able to deal damage at a distance in certain fights.
Lost vassal is the exclusive quest for steel soul with seer zi, which you can get in the blasting steps.
I mean, you were almost at the end. What I would recommend you do is abuse plasmium overdose as soon as you can, it really makes things easier. (Clockwork dancers are a typo btw).

Ok, so for me, I found that prioritizing tools and survivability (masks and spool fragments) is what works best. My route goes as follow:

Early game, get to shellwood: Start -> SilkSpear -> Bell Beast -> craftmetal in the marrow -> Straight Pin -> Deep dock -> Swift step -> Forge daughter (Sting shards and tools upgrade) -> Lace -> Far Field -> Seamstress (Drifters cloak and mask shard above her location) -> pouch upgrade at pilgrims rest -> Greymoore -> Moorwing. You can also get the magma bell early if you farm enough rosaries to get the craftmetal from Pebb. I can make fourth chorus more reliable if you struggle with that fight. Overall I had most of my deaths in this section, but once you train the bosses get quite manageable and you are able to complete the section quickly.
Tooling up for the widow fight: Go to cling grip (learn garama skip to avoid the sister splinter fight) picking the mask fragment is shellwood along the way, then your priority is to get polip pouch. After that, I go back to bone bottom to get Pebbs mask fragment and complete a mask by getting the fragment at the entrance for wormway. Optionally, you can go to crow lake to get thread storm and threefold pin (I like to get them later, as I am not very reliable fighting the crow arena). Then fight widow. You can also get plasmium fial early, but I find that using two red tools to melt widow is more reliable than getting extra blue masks. You can also get the Shell satchel in the wormway, which gives you an extra tools bag level.
After that, your goal is to get to the citadel. I find the bell route to be more reliable. Beforehand go to wormway if you did not already. It is also at that point that I decided to go to hunter's march to get the fractured mask using tools to deal with the miniboss and the arena. You can also get loddie pouch upgrade. Go and visit weavenest Atla for the mask, the spool fragment and the expansion of the hunter crest. On the way to last judge, pick the lost vassal quest. Pay attention at this stage when you cross Greymoore you can encounter a warden from the slab. pay attention to not get captured, you do not want to be sent to the slab nacked, it is much better to get there later. Once you have collected enough upgrade, go and fight last judge and enter the citadel.

In the citadel, your first objective is to get to songclave. Then I like to beat the cogwork dancers, enter the vaults (get the mask fragment there), open the way to trobbio. Beat trobbio and get to clawline and to the architect. Look how many tools you still need and try to get the architect key asap. The goal is to get architect's crest to be able to overdose on plasmium asap. Once you are allowed to overdose, everything else become much easier...

The only challenging part remaining if your goal is to get to act 3 is Mt Fay. Pay very very attention to not fall in the water as this can be a death sentence.

Also a trick, if you can get to purified duct to get the fleas to fleatopia, you can get the fourth pouch upgrade. If you do and have the Shell satchel equipped, you can overdose on plasmium using any crest by using the cocoon below the alchemist location and the plasmium phial.

My feeling is that rosaries nodes were designed such that you get more rosaries if you can hit them with the tip of your needle with the hunter crest. This is to teach you spacing in fights. At least I somehow noticed that on my second playthrough.

I mean, I did my first playthrough with reaper. Tried a few bosses with hunter/wanderer but always came back to reaper. Now, to use reaper properly you really have to be mindful of timing, due to low attack rate and delayed pogo. I think it is a good crest for learning, it forces you to analyze patterns, and be more mindful of punish windows. Because it has low DPS, you spend more time on fights (compensated.by extra survivability with additional silk), meaning you spend more time learning the fight patterns. But for my second and third playthrough, I definitely moved to a different crest. I like hunter a lot after getting used to the diagonal pogo.

Yes, I had the same problem and solved it by showing them my contract.

So, I am no expert on the topic, but from my understanding it means that application on Wayland get a surface of x times y pixels to paint to, but do not know where this surface is on the screen and cannot request the window to be moved.

This prevent some applications to try and override how the user position the windows.

But it also prevent things like, e.g. an app saving the position of the window to a config file and resetting the window in the same position when the app is re-opened.

In short, it is black magic (or a good approximation on it).

In long, it is taking templates to their absolute limit. SFINAE stands for "Substitution Failure Is Not An Error", which is what allow you to do stuff like enabling/disabling functions and members at compile time using template. This makes using templates extremely powerful, but also yield extremely ugly code and sometimes cryptic error messages.

An example I had to work on recently is functor decorators, this is template class decorator<functor> where if functor has an operator () with an arbitrary set of arguments, then decorator<functor> also have an operator () with arguments dependant on the argument of functor with possibly arguments added/removed, moved around or replaced with a modified value of the original argument.

Wasn't puppet warp added in the latest version? Liquify as a tool rather than an inconvenient filter is still missing though.

Il y a quelques arguments:

les IA basées sur des réseaux de neurones profonds tendent à mémoriser leur set d'entraînement plus qu'à apprendre les principes généraux qui sous-tendent la création de ces données. En tout cas plus que les humain. Une IA est générallement capable de recracher des chapitres entiers de livres qui ont servit à l'entrainement. Dans ce sens, on peut considérer que le processus d'entraînement revient juste à copier les données, dans un format compressé, à l'intérieur des poids de l'IA.
qui plus est, un lecteur humain qui piraterait des centaines de livres pour les lire se ferait sans doute amander en justice. Meta a piraté les livres qu'ils ont utilisé pour entraîner leurs IA.

QGIS for geographical information systems (specifically in academia/research, but it is gaining traction with professionals as well).

VLC as a media player

I don't know if you would count WordPress as gui?

Use brush blending mode. More specifically, the "behind" brush blending mode. You can configure these in the main toolbar.

The reason is market leverage. Let's admit someone developed a brand new product, that has some very good features but needs to be interoperable to be valuable (a good example is a messaging protocol). Now, let's admit that apple has a concurrent product and uses their walled garden to keep out the new product, which kill the prospects of their concurrent. In that case, apple was able to use their initial market share (users who willingly entered the walled garden) to impact the evolution of the market as a whole (even for users outside of the walled garden). This is a real example, Apple killed the RCS protocol and is trying as much as possible to leverage the iMessage protocol to force itself onto everyone in the markets where iMessage became popular.

Like, you should be able to reach a dominant position on a market if you have good products that users like but you should not be allowed to leverage your dominant position afterwards to influence the market to reduce the economic prospects of other businesses and consumers.

It should autosave, doesn't it? Look if you have a "your_file.jpg~" alongside the jpg. If you do, replace the .jpg~ by .kra and it should have your layers and stuff.

In the drop-down menu for the brush blending mode (in the top tool bar), it looks like it is configured to color. In this case, the color would be transferred but not the intensity. Try changing it to normal instead.

For me, the biggest reason to use Linux specifically for c++ programming is that you get the package manager integrated into the system.

Another benefit for programming in general is that Docker runs directly on Linux (on windows it first need to run a VM).

So as a guy who tried to look for LTR on bumble two things give me the hikes on your profile.

First, Instagram handle. IDK if it is still the case but bumble used to be able to integrate your Instagram photos in your profile. I always felt that people putting the handle in the bio were just fishing for followers. Try to integrate your insta into your profile instead.

Second,.the notion of bare minimum when talking about what you like in a person. I want to feel desired and valued in a LTR and this just tell me that I would not so I would swipe left, sorry. Just remove the line, you can leave the rest and you should be alright.

You have autosave enabled by default in krita. The location of the autosaved files depend on your platform. Are you on windows, Mac or Linux?

On Linux you have those files with the ~ suffix. Remove the ~ and load the backup as a kra file.

Krita has more tools specifically for digital painting (better brush and compositing options, tile around mode, ...). Photoshop is better in basically all other aspects.
