Absolutely. We have an iPhone 15 Pro Max, a Kodak Pixpro FZ55, and a Panasonic G9 II + Panasonic Leica 12-60. The iPhone can't even hope to touch the cheap Kodak, much less the actual mirrorless.

My wifes new Kodak Pixpro FZ55 ($130) absolutely smokes my iPhone 15 Pro. I shoot a Panasonic G9 II and thats a completely different level.

I completely agree. I adore the Ghibli classics, but the three you mentioned are my personal favorites for much the same reason.

Fortunately only his cancer was RUNX1, not his whole genome. It was also trisomy-21. Essentially he had what his doc described as the "stereotypical" B-ALL for individuals with Down Syndrome, but he doesn't have it.

Its fascinating to hear from someone who my son's enrollment would have affected. I'm hoping his data point can help tune treatment for more people in the future. And thank you for YOUR data point that helped my son have the optio

Congratulations to your child! There is a lot I want to say as a fellow parent in that situation, but it's hard to articulate. I hope it's easier for you to kove forward (mentally) than it has been for us.

My son, not I, had ALL and is in remission. I don't know how to quantify the impact it had on him from a personality perspective, as he is severely autistic and barely speaks. He was in treatment from age 3 to 6. For the rest of his fa

My son was diagnosed with B-ALL (RUNX1) in 2020. I don't want to go deep into it today (Fathers Day here), but he's alive and well now. We rang the bell just over two years ago. He is enrolled in a study through the Children'

That was a cyclical thing while I was there. Someone would do something utterly stupid and the rules would get harsh for a bit.

Spent some time In Iwakuni in that time frame. Never did get to do a tour in Yoko.

Update a couple of days later in case someone comes upon this: I emailed tcook@apple.com and the Executive Relations team reached out to me. I was able to provide everything they asked for and they handled getting my account unlocked. They

Nope, I'm not a Bob. Kind of wish I was a sentient intergalactic probe some days though.

I'm not sure when you would have served, but it sounds like you had a solid command. I dealt with things ranging from exactly what the parent said (see my sibling comment to yours), to having to do a medical call away for someone non-r

As an ex-Sub RO, specifically during the 2000's in Pearl Harbor: Yeah, this sounds 100% true. I could have typed this, and at one point I was one of those bringing a bottle underway (though I was never drunk on watch; it was due to our

In my experience (Im running several of these) thats down to heat. I redid the thermal paste on my cards and haven't had any issues since.

Update a few hours later for anyone who stumbles upon this later: Apple has unilaterally disabled my account and told me to create a new one. They will let me know in 5-10 business days if they will refund the balance in my account. There i

Thats basically what my wife said! Really hoping that it gets sorted out. I had no idea gift cards were such an issue; I rarely use them.

They never charged the gift cards; those are still good. My Apple balance is locked and unusable though. I'd like that to be freed up, and I'd still like to buy the Studio!

Ask HN: Has anyone dealt with Apple locking their balance?

Can't say I've stayed at the Four Seasons, but we stayed in the St Regis in SF last year. We got upgraded to the Metropolitan Suite and that was quite the experience. Note that I paid exactly zero as I'm a long time Bonvoy Go

Have the same set, as well as dishwasher and vacuum. Nothing but good stuff to say in coming up on 10 years of use.

Mine have gotten significantly better since I purchased the monitor as well, but I think part of that was stepping back from grad school and being more retired. Hoping to reengage and continue my pursuit of a grad degree but we shall see.

I do! I mostly use JetBrains stuff and Sublime Text. The ghosting is a non-issue for me. I do keep a color calibrated panel running next to it in case I need a video going or something (conference, etc.). But the ghosting is a non-issue for

Sorry about that! It must have been cached or something; I used my order history and it still showed a price when I grabbed that link.

I have migraines that can be triggered by eye strain. Using an eink monitor helps IMMENSELY.

I’ve been using a Bigme B251 [0] (likely the exact same panel) for about 9 months now. I recommend Amazon simply due to return policy; these can come with bad panels. They don’t notably fail early if the panel is fine when you get it. Refre

Sounds interesting, and was only able to find one video showing it in a quick search on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_YoaP0cHpQ
