Adventures in Imagineering – Stable Diffusion Parameter Variations

All of a sudden, all that anybody seems to talk about when it comes to AI-based image generation is Stable Diffusion from Stability AI. Not that that’s a bad thing, mind you ๐Ÿ™‚

iOS 14โ€Šโ€”โ€ŠNew List Set Up Using UIListContentConfiguration and UIListContentView

iOS 14 is here upon usโ€Šโ€”โ€Šor at least, for those of us who use (and develop for) Apple devices. And with its arrival, it brings along a host of changes to how things are coded for iOS devices.

One thing that appears to have changed that I didnโ€™t notice at all at first was the new way to handle list views.

Beware that โ€œspecialโ€ opportunity

The image above is of a message that I received just a little while ago on LinkedIn.

Jobs that are too good to be true

Recently, I came across a job posting which said something along the lines of: remote part-time work, $1K to $2K, located in Europe or America, collaborative work etc.

Unity and โ€œThe associated script cannot be loadedโ€ error

Sometimes, working with Unity can be a bit trying ๐Ÿ˜€

I was doing a fair amount of house-cleaning on a project where I was moving scripts around, changing file names etc. At some point, I apparently touched a file which was associated with game data.
