Exactly this. CI gets rid of "works on my machine" syndrome. If it doesnt build on CI, you broke it, fix it before merging. Though, I'm still sour from my only experience in "tech" where "works on my machine&qu

Sorry for the misunderstanding, DT does handle the color space of the camera sensor, via the "Input Color Profile" module but this camera calibration data is not published by camera manufacturers. For Canon for example, DT has a s

It's not a simple case of reading data from the raw though. Out of those you listed, yes, white balance can be trivially read from the metadata and applied to the processing automatically, and in fact DT does do exactly that. "Col

That's quite OK. It's just that DT then is not the right software for you, since the dev team has an opposing viewpoint to yours. Rawtherapee I think has a feature that tries to apply curves in order to match the built in jpeg pre

I understand why this turns you off, but I wanted to note that what you want: some default magic settings that make the photo look like Canon's in camera processing, is an explicit non-goal for the DT devs. Don't get your hopes up

No experience with polars, but I've had quite a positive experience with xarray. I still use pandas for tabular data, but anytime I have to deal with ND data, xarray is a lifesaver. No more dealing with raw, unlabeled 5-D numpy arrays,

Yeah, definitely for wider tires. 1.25in (32 mm) and 1.5 in (38 mm) tires were pretty common on the "sport touring" category of 10-speeds from the mid-70s bike boom to the early 90s or something like that. Then marketing decided t

It's pretty widely used in "traditional" engineering, at least in mechanical/civil/nuclear/aerospace. My impression is that it's probably a holdover from the good old days FORTRAN-IV. See for example Code_
