Yeah but I think it's some fan-made model, it doesn't look like the show model at all.

The basic outline looks right, but I think the coloring is off.

Well and am I crazy, or isn't there supposed to be a big-ass gun turret on his "forehead"? Talyn had one of those big-ass Peacekeeper mass driver gun things on him. That's missing entirely. Maybe this is like some artist's conception of an adult Talyn? Or a disarmed Talyn, like they were gonna do in that one episode?
-
The gun was retractable, wasn't it? So the gun is either concealed, or, as you suggested, he's been disarmed.
-
The gun was retractable, wasn't it?
Yeah but he had a big white-framed circular door it retracted into, IIRC. There's no indication of a circular hatch or door on that model, although, given, it's a tiny-ass image.
EDIT:
GIS also has images of him with the white circular gun hatch unlit. (i.e. a black circular gun hatch.)
EDIT EDIT: where ever Chubert got his model from, it also appears on this page but with a different background.
-
BTW I never really noticed before, but isn't it interesting that Talyn was born with the glossy black-and-red Peacekeeper paint job? Not the metallic copper-y paint/skin of Moya? Huh.
-
Searching for the image I found this (with the same background, too!):
It looks like the model that @chubertdev is using for his avatar is a disarmed version, with the ring around the weapons port removed as well.

His interior color scheme was different from Moya's as well. It probably had to do with the way that he was somewhat engineered by the peacekeepers, instead of being a pure leviathan.
-
Yeah but I'm impressed at the Peacekeeper's attention to detail, to even genetically-engineer their color scheme. And for the very first prototype.
EDIT: I love how that image was crudely cut out of a white background and placed on that starfield. If you have the 3D model, why not just render it on the starfield background in the first place?
-
Yeah, I definitely need a better image of it.
-
I think that I'm done here.

Annoyed at math.stackexchange. Stupid point-blockers.
Somebody posts a question about how to invert a quintic. Other people say it isn't easy. I proceed to outline how to use the inverse function theorem to invert the quintic. Shithead gives comment saying it won't work on the general quintic (duh, but it works for this quintic, and I made a point of explaining that he would have to solve for its roots) and that calculus isn't magic. Shithead gets comment point. Nobody gives me any points for doing something professionals said is hard. Fucker.

And this is why Stack* is shite.

And this is why Stack* is shite.
Upon a time I was active at guitars.stackexchange (before it got merged into music). It actually took off rather nicely - lots of activity and a generally pleasant atmosphere - until the staffers from the network started complaining about questions being "subjective" and other such bollocks, closing topics etc.
FFS, this is music we're talking about. Of course it's going to be subjective, to an extent. There are very few non-trivial questions in music (the kind that you're not likely to find answers to on Wikipedia with much less hassle) that have a single, objective answer.
You'd think that the folks behind StackExchange would realise that if you expand your subject matter beyond hard sciences, you'll have to adjust your site's policies to account for the differing requirements. I mean it's pretty obvious, right? As obvious as, I don't know, the core functionality that forum software should exhibit. Oh, wait...

This is why I stopped posting on programmers.stackexchange. That and the tendency to nitpick other people's answers to death. If they were giving out pedantic dickweed badges over there, they'd run out.

Status: Trying to learn CouchDB from CouchDB: The Definitive Guide.
Upside: It's free.
Downside: There's a good reason it's free. It's probably THE WORST PROGRAMMING BOOK I've ever read.
No problem, I'll just get a different boo- Oh wait. That's pretty much the only CouchDB tutorial book out there. Sigh.

Open source again?

More like people who are good software engineers aren't necessarily good writers.

Hungry, but not hungry enough to do something about it.

Status: trying more cloud stuff. Did you know Red Hat gives free website hosting?

It has negative calories, too, so I'm told.

What is their cloud API like? I considered using them for a product, but I didn't want to deal with learning a new (to me) Linux and cloud API.

It's not too hard. Very similar to Heroku and other PaaS services. You have "cogs" which are kinda equivalent to a virtual server. You make a program in any of the supported platforms (PHP, Python, Ruby...), list the dependencies in a special file, and some custom build scripts if you want, then push the whole thing to a git repository on the "cog" where it gets compiled and deployed.

Given that it's 10:30pm and I'll be up at 6am tomorrow it's unlikely I'll be reading through them all. Also, given that this is the TDWTF it seems unlikely that this thread will still be about posting your status in 1,400 replies time...

There is one more, actually.

Technically that topic was never on topic because it wasn't possible for it to be on topic but simultaneously not possible for it to be off topic either. Topic 1000 doesn't count.
