Layer Modes, sometimes called Blending Modes, allow you to combine layers in a variety of ways. We continue with the LCh Components Modes, which brings us to yet another color model, in this case the Hue, Saturation, and Value model. We've already looked at RGB, which is the model used for most broadcast and online uses, and the CMYK model which is used for printing, and in the previous tutorial we looked at the HSV model. This wraps up our look at color models, and also concluded our look at Layer Modes (or Blending Modes). These are the Layer Modes available on the latest (at the time I write this) version of GIMP, 2.10.24.

In this episode Martin and Chris have a very special guest: Loris Cro of

Zig fame. Zig fame? Stay tuned. Not only is Loris an ex-colleague of our two

aging heroes, he is also the community vice president at the Zig Software

Foundation. So this episode will be all about this new programming language,

why you should use it (and perhaps why you shouldn't) and life, the universe

and the rest. And Rust. Of course. :-) Full disclosure: In contrast to other

episodes, this one is really tech-heavy and may offend the less technical

listeners. Listen at your own discretion if you want to into the weeds of

Clang, LLVM, typing and cross-compilation - you have been warned. If this is

up alley, you may want consider seeking professional help just in case :-).

Important reminders:

haskell isn't impossible

you don't need math degree to write Haskell

you don't need to know category theory

you need practice, you most likely can't just stare at code and learn it like that

Used the opentts Project with default settings. The voices you will hear in order:

coqui_en_ljspeech

larynx_northern_english_male

larynx_southern_english_female

larynx_scottish_english_male

larynx_glados

I found the gladOS voice funny, hence I included that one, but these are the best sounding to my knowledge so far.

I have seen that with there will be a new mimic release version 3 soon, which has a really great voice. And example with the voice of Alan Pope mycroft_demo. And synesthesiam who's working on these projects said that there will be hopefully a model, which can be trained with actual voice, which would fine tune the voice to sounds more like someone else.

Synopsis

In this episode, Rho`n unboxes his new PineTime smart watch development kit, and gives his initial impressions. The development kit consists of two watches. One watch is fully assembled and ready for daily use. The other watch is disassembled, consisting of a watch band, the watch back cover, and the assembled display, system on a chip (SOC), CPU, and battery. The kit also comes with a serial cable for connecting from your computer to the SOC.

The following are the photographs taken during the unboxing.

Overview

I write a moderate number of Bash scripts these days. Bash is not a programming language as such, but it’s quite powerful in what it can do by itself, and with other tools it’s capable of many things.

I have enjoyed writing such scripts for many years on a variety of hardware and operating systems, and Bash is my favourite - partly because Linux itself is so flexible.

This is just a short show describing three things I tend to do in Bash scripts to assist with some tasks I find I need to undertake.

Generate Bash variables from a text file - usually output from a program

Fill Bash arrays with data from a file or other source

Use environment variables to control the Bash script’s execution
