The main problem I've had with it is it gets lost--constantly. Now I'm generally disorganized, which probably explains why I cold never find it when I wanted it. I know some people leave it on the cable but my headphones get use

To me this is the opposite of what I want in a small phone. It is less the physical size, rather that since 99.9% of all my usage is one handed, I need my thumb to be able to reach anywhere on the screen. With the ability to have minimal

But your needs/desires are well catered to by the many many large phones. My needs/desires are completely ignored in the marketplace (maybe too few people agree with me). I tried larger phones. For a year or so I had a iPhone XS,

I can't read the article (well, past the first paragraph and a half) but I live in the area where the wolf population is returning (southern NM) and it is very controversial around here. When you get out of the city, and drive through

Where I work, anyone in the world can read my emails. You just have to make a request, and we have 15 days to provide the email. There are some cut-outs like attorney/client communication or health related, but pretty much any email

I was recently going through digitizing slides my father took when we lived in Nigeria in the mid ‘70s. One thing I noticed was the Kodachrome slides looked perfect—no color fading. Most of the Ektachrome and other E-6 type slides had sig

The funny thing is I never book mark. Most of the sites I visit I just remember the URL. On rare occasions when I can’t remember the URL, I’ll search for in on Google. Like most people, I use Google a lot when I’m looking for things I do

I don’t know about the “politically correct” comment, but the one thing I would ask of google if I could ask for something that they would deliver is to ALWAYS return results where ALL of my search terms are included. It doesn’t have to be

I haven't seen any stats, but anecdotally, I remember watching TopGear episodes a decade ago where they would go on about how Hondas were boring "old people" cars. Its funny because in my region on the US Hondas are very pop

The slightly tangential question I had was, OK, a potential active lifespan of 2-3 hours in aerosol form, but in a normal environment, how long is it likely to remain in aerosol form before settling on a surface, and in what environments is

Myst was really the last game I played. As the article mentions, Doom was released at about the same time, and really became the blueprint for the future of gaming. My problem was I couldn’t play a FPS for more than 10 minutes or so befor

My favorite story to tell (favorite in a horrible way) about these kind of issues is this: After an accident ~15 years ago, I had an open wound that wouldn't close because it was infected with MRSA which had lodged itself in the hardw

the problem usually looks more like this: I load a page and start reading. When I'm done reading the text/content in the viewport, I scroll down. On a lazily loaded page, now it needs to download the content in the new viewport

by abruzzi 7y ago
this is what I'm hoping since lazy loading is constantly an issue for me (where I live my internet is frequently less than ideal.) Unfortunately my issues are more apparent with content lazy loading, and less with image lazy loading.

To me the greatest magic in the film world is placing (in darkness) a nondescript grey sheet into a tank, flushing a few chemicals through the tank, and pulling out a full color transparent positive image (E6 slide processing). Technically

in fact, you can get black and white film (Adox CMS 20 II) that will out-resolve just about any lens you can get (800 lp/mm) unfortunately, its really hard to shoot and develop.

fast color film isn't my cup of tea, but I have shot Delta 3200 (in 120 format, 6x7 and 6x4.5) at exposures closer to 6400, and have gotten some great images. (developed in 24c Xtol.)

its a fascinating doc. I don't know if I believe that it is how Vermeer but it is still interesting to watch. One should add that Tim Jennison is the founder of NewTek (Video Toaster, Lightwave 3D, etc.)

I'd add that while the Author is correct--bokeh is a property of images, not lenses--its not materially different that how most photographers understand the term. While a lot of photographers may say things like "that lens has gr

The first thing I thought when I saw those photos was — large format Kodachrome. Those clearly have the color pallet of Kodachrome and many of those old WWII era propaganda color photos were shot on 4x5.

Agreed. I loved Piston, with the caveat that his book is about the "Common Practice Period". It will teach you the standard approach to harmony used in the 18th and 19th century. But its a grounding that helps to make all the p

On the other hand, Apple does spam me with an ad for Apple Music every couple of weeks. It happens when I launch the music app on my phone.
