indeed. this just reads like managing PR, as opposed to working with researchers to i don't know, attempt to remove racial bias for instance.

i've been listening to ambient for years now. i don't find it boring; if anything I find anything with vocals and a beat distracting. there's a lot of forgettable ambient, as expected, but there's also numerous albums that i find moving and emotionally stirring.

some record labels: Touch, Room40, Miasmah, Geographic North, Music from Memory

right? this is a very janky rig too, with an inverted tripod and the negative holders sitting on top of drink coasters in my bedroom. I want to see what happens with blocking out ambient light, a better carrier, a brighter more uniform light source and maybe a full-frame camera body.

cool resources, thank you! i was just wondering about scanning movie film. any other projects you can think of?

here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rmiaquw3wnv3cvu/AACqp9bLXiDY5oCCU...

There are 16 bit TIFFs and JPEGs, along with a zoomed in crop (PNGs bc i wanted to have them be the same size for a side by side comparison). For the 2 scanners, these were scanned fully "raw", without any software colour correction or sharpening (FlexColor for the Imacon, Epson Scan 2 for the V600). The camera scan is using my 2012 Fuji X-E1 with a Micro-Nikkor 55mm @ f/8, and the V600 negative carrier, with an iPad as a light source (there's some barrel distortion; i'm still ironing out my rig). Final results corrected by my meatbag eye in Affinity (I had to increase saturation of the V600 scans to match the other two), hence the slightly different colour rendition, but the difference in grain resolution and overall detail should be pretty clear.

it def gets easier with practice! i've found that colours stay pretty consistent across a roll and stock type so a per-film, per-light temperature presets work well (day, night, indoor).

i'm also exploring this, and have found my mirrorless to produce noticeably sharper images than the Epson V600 but not quite as sharp as an Imacon Flextight.

to save time, i have saved some presets for colour correcting using a single curves layer. since i end up tweaking every scan anyway, it speeds down the workflow by cutting down on the process.

care to provide any sort of evidence?

whenever this comes up, this is inevitably the response, which sometimes betrays confirmation bias. these statistics are not hard to find.

i've had a Deluxe cabin experience with the shower. it was wonderful and private but anecdotally i still ended up sleeping better in the first class seats of the TGV that we had connection to right after the night train

that's a concern based on a reality that doesn't exist.

while i agree with you, there's a lot more going into performance and usability of a product than whether the employees are "the best"

i think it's code for, we're definitely, positively, conclusively faster than the Latest PC Laptop Chip, for sure.

The word "fast" appears 16 times on the page.

it's also a (decreasingly) culturally normalized break. it can feel strange to stand still or wander about aimlessly otherwise.

doesnt it require a resilio client on the other end?

lol because it's not an acronym in this case, as stated

Touch ID in the locking button is neat but I've seen issues with the touch ID home button dying on previous generations of iPads. Wonder what'll happen with this generation.

we have a limited set of evidence and hysterectomies are one recent example. we just might know facts about other hospitals at this point. do you honestly expect the government to be an stellar example of transparency when it comes to forced sterilization??

you seem to think there are other explanations. care to share?

in the context of capitalism, sure.

urine mostly. the poop dries up pretty quick. but urine scent sticks around. my downstairs neighbour is bad at clean-up routine, you can smell it on the hallway outside of the apartment…

i have the same experience. there is less retention when the object isn't permanent. that's another reason why i think it's important to keep notes as handwritten visually and not convert/OCR into typed text.

right, i'm talking about implementing something new. if you're trying to refactor or alter an existing codebase, it can be even easier: you add another test to an already existing suite.

i don't think i've ever sat down, written tests for a completely new implementation, only to find that i need to add a field somewhere. before i sit down to write tests, i do some preliminary thinking. i'm not saying, write tests without ever trying to think first. but do use tests to flesh out your change from outside of the black box.

sure! write a few tests pretending your thing is already implemented, to capture what you want it to do. at this point it's a step beyond writing no test and just typing `YourThing.Do()` in a text editor. does it make sense? is it awkward? should it even be `YourThing` or `SomeOtherThing`? what the "unit" is of what you're testing might change, or its API might. you're basically just trying to get a sketch of what it's like for the user.

now, at the end of this, you'll have a clearer idea of the external API boundary, probably a clearer vision of how it should work, _and_ code you can test against. you've potentially just saved yourself the labour of writing the thing, realizing it needs to be redesigned, and rewriting it.

> Way more developers need exploratory session to even discover what are they supposed to do.

to flip this: write tests to help discover what the thing is supposed to do

i see art is some amounts of aesthetic rendition and an encapsulation of an idea. Rembrandt might lean more into the former, while e.g. found objects (dada etc) and something like this are more the latter. "bad art" only exists in as far as failing to pose an interesting question and/or reach an audience aesthetically.

personally i think this project does a great job of posing questions about what it means to be successful on social media.

> If you want to look like an ogre you probably don’t want to be seen outdoors anyways

i struggle to see this as not shaming. also there's plenty of other middle ground between bodyweight exercise and "ogre".

i don't disagree w safety of outdoors and avoiding illegal infection incubators. i just think your suggestions around Calisthenics and comments on ogres are ignorant. not everyone has your preferences for body shape, access to climate and physical abilities.

are you really arguing there would be a higher chance of compliance if instead of making it law we resorted to politely asking?

i find ogres attractive, maybe don't shame people for having different preferences from you?

higher chance of infection. you don't live in a vacuum.
