@ily
they don't have an exterior camera? maybe I'm spoiled from recent SpaceX launches, but I'm used to seeing cool shots of the earth falling away as the vehicle is climbing.

@izaya i have a low grade anxiety about JWST and I have nothing to do with it. what's the space craft?

I think I was looking into this as I was lamely trying to game out ideas about virtual currency https://www.fresheconomicthinking.com/2010/04/why-not-fixed-money-supply.html?m=1

if you write a GUI and design it so it blocks waiting on network access, and i find out about it, I'll punch you hard in the arm. I'm not even kidding

@Craftplacer hahahahahaha... awww yes. sometimes software can be fun @izaya

@loke oh no, don't be angry 😣😁
I'm not going to dig through log4j's history to see whether there was a feature request for the jndi junk, but I'd hope there was a legit reason for it. as I understand, the real f'd up thing is in how variable resolution is designed and implemented. it's wild that resolution of vars like that is even possible in the message string vs the code that handles the format string from logging system configuration.

it's also wild to me that library devs wouldn't take the approach you describe for extensibility if it is possible. I have an idea, then I have to get it out, (and make it useful because I'm a nice guy) but then I'm doing my best to make anything outside of the core very not my problem. no interest in building my own prison

@loke I'm not saying you're wrong about log4j bring over-engineered, just that it has a reason for being

@loke is JUL a good logging API though?
Being also a Python coder, I'm sympathetic to the idea that we'd all be better off if the standard library logging framework was used by everyone. Java developers somehow missed making a particularly good framework. Maybe, eventually slf4j and log4j enter the java.* namespace in the way joda time did...

I had previously thought about the term "unleaded gasoline" and the implication that we used to put lead in gas. I even knew why. what I didn't realize though it's how that meant we were just pumping lead particles into the atmosphere for years

@Pat aka poptart car. flying cat with a poptart for a body. shoots rainbows out its rear. says 'nyan'

@lucifargundam just any cartoon. I suppose I see it in anime a lot. a character is expounding on something with their eyes closed then they open them for emphasis or to cast a disparaging gaze at the token troublemaker

what's with toons talking with their eyes closed. who does that?

@izaya where's that story you're writing? I wanted to catch up on it but lost the link on my phone

@izaya yeah i would have thought ffmpeg could do that. maybe multiple command lines. at the very least I'd think you could just export everything to still frames, rescale as needed, then compose back into a video.
