![]() ![]() Just generate a GUID/UUID, and increase the integer. The only way to do that without weakening the GUID/UUID randomness would be to prefix the 16-byte GUID/UUID with an unsigned integer (which would make your identifier data 20-bytes, or more, depending on your integer). Now, you want the GUID/UUID to be ordered in time. There is a GUID/UUID type which is always random (the version 4), meaning that to be compatible with other GUID/UUID semantics, you should respect that. I found out this opensource library whose benchmarking results looks promising to me. The Wikipedia page on GUID/UUID has a list of alternative implementations you could use/study: I went to google to search for a better approach of generating UUID and found out that there are many other open source libraries that are doing the same job and claiming that they are more efficient than others. ![]() CryptGenRandom to generate enough bytes to make up a GUID/UUID.CryptReleaseContext to release the acquired random context.CryptAcquireContext to acquire a random context.Open a file to /dev/urandom and read enough bytes (16) to make up a GUID/UUID.

And now more than ever, image compositing is front and center in my workflow, whether it’s simply overlaying a subtle lighting effect in Luminar Neo or applying multiple layers of images, textures, and other digital tidbits. Part of the reason is that I source more than 90% of my prints from street photography, or public photography if you prefer. I no longer needed this clean look, which I now think was really a form of aesthetically-inclined OCD.Īlthough my pursuit has become producing limited edition fine art prints, I still have a passion for street photography and always will. I was free to explore other looks, and styles, and dig deep until I discovered that I really was a frustrated artist masquerading as a photographer. Suddenly, I didn’t have to corrective edit so much. When I went full frame with the Sony A7iii, I found myself in an entirely different world. ![]() And I had to rely heavily on Photoshop and third-party plugins to achieve the aesthetic I sought. At the time, I wasn’t happy at all with the prospect of anything but a very clean-looking image. In the beginning, when I crossed over into the mirrorless camera world with the Sony A6000, a good chunk of my photo editing techniques were geared toward corrective editing, mainly when it came to low light situations and battling noise. Looking back over the past seven years, I’ve never settled on a permanent photo editing workflow or photo editing app, for that matter. But to my more than a pleasant surprise, it’s more of an exception to the rule if I omit it entirely from my photo editing workflow. I initially thought that I’d be able to use this new AI stuff for a few things. My intention was to not only be able to claim that I was one of the early adopters but more importantly, see if it was something I could incorporate into my post-processing. Luminar AI was the world’s first photo editor that was powered 100% by artificial intelligence. As someone who has had to come to terms with the fact that he’s always late to the game in regard to most technical innovations, I made it a point to jump aboard the artificial intelligence ship before the official passenger list was tallied. I’ve been using Skylum’s Luminar AI, and its successor, Luminar Neo, since before the public launch dates for each of these apps. ![]() ![]() When making a decision for Ponyo's future, her parents do not act alone, but rather come together to discuss what is best for her, and they are also very careful to consider what Ponyo wants as a key part of their decision. Interestingly, both parents are separated for most of the film, with Sosuke's father being stuck out at sea, and Ponyo's mother busy being an ocean goddess. "Ponyo" is in a way, a tale of two families, and there is one huge parallel between Sosuke's parents and Ponyo's. It is also in the overall story which is about the forces of nature losing their "balance." In the film their seaside town is covered by water and becomes a paradise for prehistoric fish, which alludes to global warming and rising water levels all over the world.įujimoto as a character is a person who has given up his "humanity" and chosen to live in the ocean because he is disgusted by the lack of respect that humans have shown for nature and now he longs to restore the world to what he believes is the "natural" state.

"Ponyo" is a fun fantasy film for all ages, but it does have a strong environmental message. Environmentalism, Pollution, Climate Change The two main themes are environmentalism and family, let's take a look how they are presented in the film. Will Ponyo be able to remain a human, or will the world be ruined forever by the attempt? Ponyo's 2 Main Themes: Environmentalism and FamilyĮven the simplest of Miyazaki's movies have complicated themes that run as an undercurrent, so that viewers never really feel attacked by his perspectives. Her actions cause the world to become imbalanced, and Sosuke's home is hit with torrential rains and a tsunami which transforms everything into an underwater paradise for ancient sea-creatures. Ponyo uses her father's magic to turn into a human and races back to Sosuke, but the results are disastrous. He succeeds, but Ponyo refuses to stay in the ocean. The two of them quickly become attached to each other, but Ponyo's father, human-wizard Fujimoto, is anxious to get his daughter back to her home in the sea. ![]() One day, he encounters a small trapped goldfish on the shore who he names Ponyo, not knowing that her name is actually Brunhilde.

Hooker, unlike Bradford and Winthrop, did not keep a journal. According to Cotton Mather, "The very spirit of his ministry lay in the points of the most practical religion, and the grand concern of a sinner's preparation for, and implantation in, and salvation by, the glorious Lord Jesus Christ."īy May 1637, the inhabitants of Connecticut were holding their own General Court. Hooker, for example, apparently felt that Winthrop's efforts in Massachusetts Bay had fallen short of the mark. Indeed, this was the consistent pattern behind the settlement of New England, with each colony attempting to create a more pristine Christian society, and each founder, usually a minister, trying to "out-Protestantize" everyone else. Again, though, Hooker's primary concern was not politics, but the establishment of assemblies of worship resembling the churches found in the Book of Acts. Thomas Hooker is considered by many to have played the role of John the Baptist for Thomas Jefferson in the sense that he laid the foundation for American republican democracy. The English Church, predictably, condemned as heretical Hooker's apologetics on behalf of "liberty of conscience. His hope was to persuade the Church of England to organize itself along congregational instead of episcopal lines, and also to explain to English Church officials what he was doing in New England, which in essence was to demonstrate how he believed a truly Christian society ought to operate. It was intended as a manifesto, explaining Hooker's views on a congregational polity. We have only fragments of his Survey, as the bulk of the manuscript was lost in a trip across the Atlantic on the way to England for publication. Hooker's views on the congregational polity were essentially democratic, and are explained in his great work, A Survey of the Summe of Church Discipline. ![]() Though he was not himself an avowed Separatist, he had many Separatist followers. Hooker, Pastor of the Church at Newtown, and most of his congregation, went to Connecticut."Īs Perry Miller points out, Hooker was more radical in his Protestant beliefs than Winthrop. In his May 1636 journal entry, Winthrop notes, without elaboration, that "Mr. Whether Hooker got permission from the Massachusetts General Court to leave is not clear. Hooker would not only draw many from us, but also divert many friends who would come to us." But Winthrop apparently lost the argument, at least as far as Hooker's people were concerned. Moreover, said Winthrop, it was unwise for Christians to so divide themselves, leaving themselves open to attack from the Indians and perhaps even the British Navy:"The departure of Mr. Winthrop argued that Hooker was breaking the covenant by leaving the colony. Hooker and Winthrop were good friends, which is why Winthrop was so bitterly disappointed when Hooker petitioned the General Court to allow his congregation to move to Connecticut. But even after his departure from England, Collins acknowledged that Hooker's "genius" still "haunts all the pulpits." He traveled first to Holland and then, following the example of the Mayflower Pilgrims, made the holy pilgrimage to Massachusetts Bay. gains more and far greater followers than all before him." Hooker was forced into exile. have seen the people idolizing many new ministers and lecturers but this man surpasses them all for learning. As Perry Miller recounts in his book, Errand Into the Wilderness, Samuel Collins, an agent of Archbishop Laud, warned in 1629 that Hooker had become too powerful, and threatened to undermine the established church: "I. He was a learned scholar, widely published, and his preaching had electrified the English countryside, winning converts by the thousands. Hooker was the most famous of all the English preachers to make the journey to New England. One of the most important migrations from the mother colony was led by the great Thomas Hooker to Hartford, Connecticut. But almost immediately upon arrival, the colonists began to disperse along the hills and rivers of New England. Winthrop envisioned for his "City on a Hill" a tightly knit, unified community centered around Boston. CHAPTER SEVEN Thomas Hooker Tries Democracy ![]() |
