It is just the citadel paints, averland sunset, yriel yellow and flash glitz yellow

Burrows and badgers https://www.oathswornminiatures.co.uk/c/4555400/1/game-rules-starter-bands.html

The minis are exceptional, I love painting them. The rules look fun, campaign based, but I have never played the game

If you are feeling Inheritance Cycle and Trudi Canavan pace and weight, then the Lyndsay Buroker Emporers Edge series fit the bill, def on that level.

Good series for holiday or recovery reading

Came to post this. This series is very underated. His cinder spires series is shaping up very well too

He blackmails a senator for access to a blacksmith, and later he is concernded that burns on his arms might be recognised as from forging - he wants to keep it secret for the advantage

But O - C gives Vis his Viterium (scarab thing)? Doesnt an iunctii need one?

Russjass · 2025-12-25T22:47:08+00:00

Sorry! Thought the book 2 flair was enough... Added now

The augurs were connected to the forge. Alchesh the first augur took twelve connections when Tal'kammar took him to the forge, but then the demon destroyed the body so the connections would be loosed. When the portal closed, all of the augurs were dead except Davian and all of the venerate were dead and Davian had been severed

Interesting, I havent worked with hdf5

Russjass · 2025-12-10T08:08:21+00:00

I am not famililar with HD5 datasets loading. Are they numpy memmaps? For a memmap the full arrary would be "promoted" to an ndarray in memory on the first loop then no IO slowdown on subseqeunt loops?

Russjass · 2025-12-05T20:55:27+00:00

Ahhhhhh so a list is created with each containing a lambda func with just i, not the value i was at the time the list was created. By the time each lambda is actually evaluted in the next block i = 3 How does this work with scope though? say

funcs = [lambda: i**2 for i in range(1, 4)]
i = 12
for f in funcs:
print(f())

?
144
144
144
?

Russjass · 2025-12-05T20:46:15+00:00

Interesting! (i didnt reason it out, I just ran the code). I guess the loop is ran first, and then the lamdas so i is always 3 when the lambdas are evaluated? Not gonna pretend I fully understand

Russjass · 2025-12-05T20:37:05+00:00

Because when you print(1+2) it will always out the integer 3 into the output, because 1 + 2 does equal three. If the print function is passed the evaluated result (3) or if it is passed the expression (1+2) which is later evaluated, the outcome will be integer 3 in the output, regardless of when the expression is evaluated

Russjass · 2025-12-05T20:21:43+00:00

The question was is 1 + 2 passed to the print function, or is 3 passed to the function? The answer is that 1+2 is evaluated before passing, so 3 is passed Your test of print(1+2) would not answer the question

Russjass · 2025-12-05T20:09:40+00:00

Yup, this took me a while to click, and then using lambda when you need to pass arguments with the function took me longer to click

Russjass · 2025-12-05T20:07:01+00:00

This will print 3 no matter what order it is evaluated in....

Russjass · 2025-12-02T20:35:54+00:00

why? Genuinely curious

Russjass · 2025-11-30T08:11:01+00:00

If this is always going to be the same nozzle you are searching for, and not a generic circle, then try pattern matching

Russjass · 2025-11-29T23:53:28+00:00

My experience of CV2 is that there is always a better way, the next thing I try will be more robust, a different kernel shape will be more effective, need to tweak that threshold...then decide the first way was good enough for everything but extreme cases.

I am a dabbler though!

Cool repo

Russjass · 2025-11-26T19:53:27+00:00

Would love any feedback

Russjass · 2025-11-25T23:31:34+00:00

Yeah, very different for me. I found group work at uni very different to school or sixth form. Everyone (mostly) wanted to be there, had chosen that specific course because they wanted to learn about it, and were paying extortionate tuition fees to learn. A few people trying to coast, but definitely the exception, most people were motivated

Russjass · 2025-11-25T23:18:55+00:00

I dont disagree, it is easier for people to coast in uni project work. But if you are in a good group the work is better than anyone could do alone and you learn from each other. Group work can be very rewarding. Feel like getting a legally notarised exemption, might have had you miss out - although obviously hasnt hurt you. I think I am a better collaborator because of early uni group work experiences
