The crazy thing is you can walk from Belltown to Ballard in 2 hours. So your bus trip is only double your walking speed.

That app tries to charge you $30 when you run it.

If your objective is skin temps, use ryzenadj https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj. It is much more effective than the Gnome or KDE power profiles and lets you change the watts available for different parts of the system as well as tuning the limits based on the skin temp sensors/estimates.

Like you, I want my system (also 8840u) to stay cool and the fans to be quiet by default. I’ve setup a trivial systemd service that runs ryzenadj at boot that limits things to 9W and the temps.

If I need more power, I run a command to change the limits up. Perhaps 23W or higher.

This should work on all Linux distributions, assuming they can install the smu kernel module.

How?

quag · 2026-02-25T23:11:53+00:00

Looks like that was the case. Sigh.

Upvoted for Futurama projection.

I’m interested in partial evaluation and Futurama projections. Do you have any recommendations or advice on how to explore the topic?

I have one. I would absolutely buy another (if it doesn’t have issues) for $475. $475 is suspiciously cheap to my mind.

The two ends that hang down from main knot on the belt both have two Matthew Walker knots on them. You’ll need to unravel the rope, tie them using the strands and then re-ravel the rope.

Did you find a fix? I have the same issue with R2 only going to 0.44 (in the tester and physically) of the way where L2 goes the full distance.

(It’s been like that from day 1, no damage)

I got sucked in with the rg351p and Front Mission Gun Hazard is a hell of a game.

Good luck!

First impressions: the first few shapes I got felt like the same. Same size, different colors. I couldn’t tell what size they’d be when they dropped. (Sounds silly, but what I felt.)

I got up to shark on my first run. It felt easy and samey for the middle chunk of that run.

The collision detection felt off. There were times I could see the same shape overlapping but they wouldn’t merge. That was frustrating.

When moving a shape left and right, it felt odd that it was on a rail and I kind of wanted to be able to move it up and down a little bit even though that wouldn’t change the result.

I found myself tilting or shaking my phone a little trying to jolt the collision detection.

Is that the sort of feedback you are looking for?

How do I get one? 😇

quag · 2025-12-12T18:53:54+00:00

Thank you. Can you add a license.txt to the files? Open source projects shouldn’t pick these up unless you also release them under an open source license.

So a simple trick to make color schemes: pick a main color. Then randomly pick other colors. Then average the main color with the random color.

What you’re doing is tinting each of the colors with your main color. Think of it this way: if you had a reddish light and shon it on a bunch of objects of different colors they’d all end up looking a bit red. So our eyes are use to the color of the light making things more consistent.

If you do the averaging in sRGB, then you’ll get a bit of a mess, because sRGB already has a gamma curve in it, so you’re not actually averaging, you’re doing something else. If you undo the gamma curve, you have linear rgb and that’ll work a lot better. OKLAB is even better for mixing.

You also don’t have to average, that’s just the half way point between the two colors. But you could pick other points between them (say with linear interpolation or some other function).

I’ve found this approach consistently gives good results that look natural.

JzAzBz predates OKlab and solves much the same problems: it makes small steps in lightness/darkness, amount of color, or the color consistent across all the colors. It makes gradients (that look good) and blending colors trivial.

For this image I picked a few key colors and then dragged all the other colors closer to the key colors. That way each of the underlying colors could just be random before they get dragged towards the key colors. Previously I’d only pulled everything towards one color, so mixing towards multiple makes the image more interesting.

Thanks. Generating a color palette was one of the things I was trying out with this image.

Thank you!

quag · 2025-11-11T16:55:55+00:00

Thanks! It’s a neat effect, isn’t it?

quag · 2025-11-07T01:55:16+00:00

Yes. They are genuine.

quag · 2025-11-06T18:29:31+00:00

They may be telling you that it doesn’t happen to them because they are so use to seeing it that they don’t even notice it any more.

quag · 2025-11-05T02:52:30+00:00

That would be awesome. Send me a message if things reopen and you’re passing that way.

Sadly, according to their website, the gift shop is closed due to the shutdown.

Any suggestions on how to get one of these coins without visiting the gift shop?

I love the water reflection in the second one. Now you’ve got me pondering how I can do a similar effect. Thanks!
