Hello!
I’m trying to convert images so that they are lighter. I got the idea from
Low-Tech Magazine and got some help and
information from a good guy.
Using ImageMagick:
convert input.jpg -set colorspace Gray -ordered-dither o8x8 -colors 2 output.gif
From this image:
We get this one:
From 72KB to 16KB. Looks a lot like the gameboy camera actually. There are other
dithering algorithms, but for this photo the ordered-dither gave the best
picture.
Hello!
Probably nobody cares, but I have removed the share section (twitter + facbeook)
because it required to load 300kb for the icons plus random javascripts.
We want this to be light.
On the other hand I have removed the “last posts” from the index. This is
because it needed to recompile ALL the posts everytime because this list is
always updated. This way… only the last post needs to be compiled!
Hello!
Here is a fast note that might not be obvious. Beware with UDF types in PySpark.
from pyspark.sql.functions import udf
from pyspark.sql.types import IntegerType, FloatType
def very_fun(idk):
return(22)
def floating_fun(idk):
return(22.0)
df = sqlContext.createDataFrame(
[
(1, 'foo'),
(2, 'bar'),
],
['id', 'txt']
)
funfun_int = udf(very_fun, IntegerType())
funfun_float = udf(very_fun, FloatType())
floatingfun_int = udf(floating_fun, IntegerType())
floatingfun_float = udf(floating_fun, FloatType())
df = df.withColumn('funfun_int', funfun_int(df['id']))
df = df.withColumn('funfun_float', funfun_float(df['id']))
df = df.withColumn('floatingfun_int', floatingfun_int(df['id']))
df = df.withColumn('floatingfun_float', floatingfun_float(df['id']))
df.show()
And the result is not very amusing:
Susumu Hirasawa appreciation post. Solid Air is part of P-Model works, but
Susumu is able to mix it with Darkness ⲡ duai perfectly.

I don’t only live from weird japanese things. Today, some castlevania.

I would have never expected a vocaloid cover of P-Model. But it does exist. And
it’s amazing. I have to find the CD “Hatsune Miku Sings New Wave”.

Lately I have been only posting music. We’ll, that’s what I like to do at the
moment, so… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
This time I bring you Osamu Sato’s Transmigration. It’s a weird album mixing
pseudo-futuristic sound with strange folk chants. I haven’t played through all
the Osamu Sato’s Tong-Nou, a superb weird experience into his mind made into a
game, however the first song is clearly the opening theme.
I hope you enjoy. Also give a chance to that game while thinking on Buddhist
concepts like samsara (mind those 30 days you get offered to get your soul
back).
