Photography mostly eliminated the once-indispensable portrait artist, among other formerly-dependable lines of work. There's a line to be drawn somewhere between artist and craftsperson. Creating beautiful things to a brief has always

There's a pretty standard argument that creating artworks should or must require the hardship of developing the skill to bring vision into reality, or paying someone who can. That can be debated, but the position is textbook gatekeepin

32 bit sure but I think you overlooked the x86 part! Only one of those is that, and a sliver of credit for embedded, but that's gotta be rare.

I don't think that counts as communicating to people at all, let alone to as many people.

They take up a lot of space and they can be inconvenient and potentially unsafe to pedestrians. Unsafe for the same reason that right turns on red are unsafe: drivers are looking to their left for traffic and not to their right. They were r

I think you're probably right that most drivers are speeding but I will note that a sampling of drivers that pass you necessarily will not include any that are going your speed or slower. It doesn't take many drivers on the road t

Oranges and other citrus are examples of non-climacteric fruits, meaning they do not continue to ripen after being picked. So, they have to be picked at the desired level of ripeness.

Us Americans have been taught exceptionalism all our lives. The people consider themselves to have built and to live in the freest and generally most superlative country that ever was. We were pretty "soft" (dislike the term) on t

The characteristic flavor of cinnamon is almost entirely due cinnamic aldehyde. There's a lot of it in various species of Cinnamomum. My guess is that they are using a mix of true cinnamon and its close relatives. It occurs rarely and

Constructor injection is still autowiring. Spring used to demand that you annotate constructor arguments with @Autowired but that changed some time ago.

As far as I'm aware, ClearType is still enabled by default in Windows. Subpixel text rendering was removed from MacOS some time ago, though, presumably because they decided it was not needed on retina screens. Maybe you're thinkin

> avoid ugly things like Spring's autowiring of dependencies. This seems awfully close to "avoid Spring" to me, heh. Though, I've grown rather fond of Spring Boot over time, but I've gathered that's not exa

Half-Life 1 was groundbreaking but still very much of its era. Half-Life 2 feels like a modern game, though.

I already admitted that this brings me joy. I love things like this. It's just not a very persuasive argument, even when I make it to myself, because I believe so strongly that other things are more important.

I'm not really sure what the takeaway is here. It's not "don't write comments" since that would not have helped the situation. At the very least, if you're going to write comments, bug reports, and code reviews

Wait, people are buying stuff of unknown quality off the internet, mixing it with water in their kitchens, _and injecting it?_ That's wild. Even the article author seems to have a tongue in their cheek when issuing this "warning&q

There's not really an answer in the article besides not wanting to clearly identify a point in time, and wanting the cars to match in some sense the personalities of the characters that drive them. The show's aesthetic takes a hig

Pardon me if "it looked cool" isn't persuasive.

I don't believe for a second that you wrote your comment as an earnest solicitation for information.

There's some irony in this comment. It's also a textbook ad hominem. I love the ad and the stunt. I would have been as giddy as a child if I'd seen it in person. It's also rings true to me that it's rather wasteful

Besides food preferences, you're being very cavalier here about that extra $5.

I see this sort of remark every time McDonald's comes up and I always wonder why it doesn't prompt people to check their assumptions. Clearly they are doing well enough so you're missing something.

I think the odds of that happening are remote, but there is prior art from other streaming services for only serving reduced quality to clients that don't support DRM, or to clients that they just don't seem to like.

The technical term for the "stickiness" you're referring to, where a system is resistant to change or has a memory, is hysteresis.

They may not want to imply that didder's linearized rabbit is wrong, but I'm comfortable saying so. It's not just a little dark, it's way dark, to the point of hiding detail. The linearized RGB palette is similarly awful

Blender comes with two renderers: Cycles for production rendering, and Eevee for near-real time preview. This movie was rendered with the latter. Like any 3D package, you can also install other renderers. So any perceived deficit in picture

It's nearly Apple's 50th anniversary. I've thought for a while now that a limited run of the rainbow logo on their products would be a great (and lucrative) celebration gimmick.
