• Tuesday, 10/24/23 ** 16:26 Building a service to generate static data and apply static transformations at scale? Here's what you're doing wrong. You're optimizing for the static case - the file transformation case.

If you have a single pass file input stream approach to parsing, serializing, compiling, whatever, you have no good way to debug or visualize your compiler. Where are the intermediate parts of the process?

Build assuming that you want to visualize. I like visualizing with HTML and the browser, but command-line interactions, printouts, other forms of GUIs are just as valid. ** 16:45 Read 'I am a hero' manga. Long form content is so much more valuable - feels so much more gratifying to consume - like I actually learn something!!

The panels felt cinematic. Author is either a fan of or has similar inspirations as Daido Moriyama .So many of the panels without dialogue - those intended to show the scene and highlight a particular emotion, character, or action - have deliberate distortion introduced into them around a subject; the distortion's similar to what the Ricoh's 28mm lens produces! Black and white ised used in harsh ways, in soft ways, to tell stories, to focus on particular parts of the medium. The author feels like a master of the medium, almost as good as Inio Asano's work - and definitely in the same vein. I was blown away. The plot twists - zombies to aliens to a sense of unity - and the contrasts drawn between the two ends and between different societal norms - young and old, following rules vs. acting out, etc.. were incredibly well-highlighted. MC follows the laws to the letter even during the apocolypse, but is also vehemently opposed to merging with others. Other characters are ardently individual or value harmony in different ways. The series is really about comparing and contrasting different ways of organizing society, exploring neet culture and independence - 'I am a hero' is MC's declaration of independence, and he carries it through luck, through circumstance, and at some points through his own will to the end. Great series. ** 16:54 https://chrisbolin.co/offline/
