  • I have only watched about 3 seasons of the boys (and read the entire comic) and I think the show is better than the comic.

    The story is very different, and for the better. In the comic, the protagonist is always Hughie, but the main focus of the story is Butch and how he kind of “shapes” Hughie. Home Lander and the seven are a lot more of a plot device than anything else and three of the seven almost never do anything, this is because the real villain is the concept itself of a company like Vaught. All of this is fine, if that’s your cup of tea, my problem is that everything else is kinda just thrown there just to be splattery and outrageous without much rhyme or reason. There’s a lot of very dull monothematic characters that appear in their arc and then pop up once in a while.

    In the show every character is a lot more developed, instead of just Hughie and Butch. And their journeys are a lot more intertwined with one another, and the story itself is a lot more complex. I think the worst part of the show is when it tries to wink at the comic fans and it just looks out of place, while swooshing over the head of who didn’t read the comic (e.g. “take away that …😉 Love sausage 😉😉… from me”; “hello …😉 Vic…toria 😉😉”)



  • ISO/OSI is a neatly separated model mostly used on theory.

    In practice, actual network stacks are often modeled after a simpler model that is called TCP/IP. Which despite the name is not actually TCP specific.

    Here’s the general description and correspondence to ISO/OSI:

    1. Host to network / network access layer: it’s mostly the nic and nic driver. It’s sometimes numbered as 0 because some don’t consider it part of the TCP/IP stack, but simply the nic driver. Corresponds to:
      1. Physical
      2. Datalink
    2. Network layer: Corresponds to: 3. Network
    3. Transport layer: Corresponds to: 4. Transport
    4. Application layer: everything that’s part of the application and not the network stack. Corresponds to: 5. Session 6. Presentation 7. Application

    Or, you can just not care about how the actual software stack is separated, and continue to use the most complete model, knowing that everyone will understand what you when you say “layer 2/3/4” anyway.

    Plus, some could say that the TCP/IP model is equally unfit because the Linux network subsystem doesn’t care about layers.

    Edit: I hope the formatting of that table isn’t broken on your client, because it is on mine

    I downloaded it many years ago when it was published (I can’t find it now). It is an actual gif but it’s very low res (and obviously it’s 256 colours) and very large, some players will fail to load it, and you can give up on web players

    Your intuition is on the right track, but it works “the other way around”.

    RGB are additive primary colours, because the colour you see when you look at something that emits light is the actual colour of the light. And so when you mix two coloured lights, the colours add up (additive colours). And adding every colour gives you white.

    CMY are instead subtractive colour, because when you look at something that does not emit light, the colour you see is just the light that bounces off of it, while some colours get absorbed. So when you mix paints, the resulting paint absorbs more colours, and you only see what’s left, so the colours subtract down (subtractive colours). And subtracting everything gives you black.

    P.s. mathematically, any three independent colours could be used as primary. Independent means that you can’t get any of the three by mixing the other two (i.e. blue, red, and purple are not independent). But those two triplets are the most obvious choices. You might recall that as a kid, they taught you that primary colours were Red, Blue and Yellow instead of CMY, and yet mixing worked fine.








  • You are correct, it also lacks a decorative groove that the “one” one has near the top.

    I think the “series” d-pad is the best modern d-pad, especially since Nintendo forgot how to make them just before releasing the Wii u. I’d say on par with classic Nintendo d-pads, maybe a bit less comfortable for platformers though.

    On the other hand, the 360 d-pad is the worst most horrible piece of crap ever devised.
