I made a venn diagram to help you understand Moiré patterns.
venn diagram. circles labeled "Angled lines" and "Different angled lines", they are filled with patterns of slightly different angled lines. the intersecting area is labeled Moire pattern and indeed has a moire pattern in it.
I don't promote much on this platform, but I am incredibly humbled to see my watercolor "Abtkerk Along Scheveningseweg" as promotional material for the New England Watercolor Society Regional Exhibition!
If you find yourself in the Watertown area today through January 9th, head over to the Mosesian Center for the Arts and see all the wonderful watercolors in this exhibit.

@toddanderson I'd invite that Jeremy guy but then you guys would just talk about pigments and brushes and I'd be like, "whatever, losers"
I don't believe there is one bad album by this gentleman. And while this is not my favorite album of his, it is certainly the most played... which I guess is something to think about
Photograph on a vinyl album cover of Tom Waits' "Alice". A thumb from a middle-aged man holds the album cover up before a set of windows revealing a cold Vermont late afternoon. A steam radiator is hidden. Hope it warms up.

I'm on Youtube and as I click on a video, I see another video nearby that looks interesting. After I watch the first video, I go back and the whole page reloads, showing all different videos and I can't find the other one I wanted to watch.
Are there any decent alternative front ends to Youtube on the web? I do use Newpipe on Android, but I more often use Youtube on a desktop. The alternatives I've tried have not been great.
Installed FreeTube on Linux. It's pretty nice. Has all my subscriptions there, which is good.
I guess I have a love/hate relationship with Youtube's suggestion algorithm. I get a lot of good content there, but also a ton of crap. At least it knows what I've watched in the past and does some effort towards showing me similar stuff.
The third party apps don't seem to do that at all.
This might be good for me in the long run. I'll try it.
Watercolor painting of buildings in downtown St Albans, Vermont. On the left stands an imposing, red brick building with large Arches windows - the right-most window dissolved of shape as it reflects the bright sun back from behind the viewer. To the right is a shorter building in white-painted brick, with a slight red brick facade encasing a street-level window. The bright blue sky above dips I'm between the buildings, revealing a darkened side street. The large building on the left as a street level storefront beneath a grey canopy covering its windows in shadows.

@toddanderson I knew that famous watercolor artist when he was a software developer. Actually I knew him kind of before he was really a developer and was creating 3d animals.
We apologize for the long performance degradation today.
Finally, we identified all of the 'tricks' that AI crawlers found today. They no longer bypass the anubis proof of work challenges.
A novelty for us was that AI crawlers seem to not only crawl URLs that are actually presented to them by our frontend, but they converted the URLs into a format that bypassed our filter rules.
By the way, you can track the changes we have been doing via
@Codeberg Ah I did notice a super long push time this morning. That explains it. Sucks that we have to deal with that crap. But thanks for the transparency.
My first implementation of k-means clustering. Seems pretty solid. This test has completely random points, so there are no obvious clusters. But it's doing pretty well.
Quick pop into Autumn Records after catching my kid's soccer game yesterday yielded two records I have been looking to pick up for an appropriate price! My favorite Who album which I wore out on cassette until my car decided to finally eat it, and Thomas Dolby's debut - though truthfully I was looking for a copy with the UK cover.

Once again, I may have bought a car. Slightly used Subaru Outback this time. Had Outbacks for nearly 20 years. So not an exciting change but now I'll have so many bells and whistles compared to my current bare bones 12 year old model. Front and backup cameras, built in GPS screen, moon roof, all kinds of safety features like lane detection, etc.
@toddanderson yeah I remember you bought yours shortly after I bought mine, but you got a better deal buying a limited model used. I got a basic one brand new.
I thought mastodon had post scheduling. I guess it's just on some custom apps. Fedilab has it, but not the web interface. No big deal, I obviously don't use it all that often if I didn't know that after all this time.
@toddanderson 2-3 times per year I try to get through all of Sandinista in a single sitting. I rarely make it. Great album, but it's long and gets pretty experimental in parts.
