I thought Bach was relatively obscure till Mendelssohn promoted his music to a new generation? Anyhow, there are many many great composers from different genres, and if you consider the aim to be communication (rather than the quality of th

Confronted with the same sort of problem, I ended up with Capture One and couldn't be happier. There are other options out there, which you should definitely explore.

You are right, judges can not be wrong, but they can misdirect themselves.

The point is that stealing has traditionally meant denying the rightful owner the thing that has been stolen. What is going on here is that a copy has been made without permission - piracy is copyright infringement, this is different to ste

Agreed. If you stick to the 'smart and gets things done' mantra when hiring, lots of things like 'better skills' are trumped by the idea that if they are smart, they'll pick up the skills they need.

It's best to just think of it as a different art form. B&W film photography + darkroom printing is an art form, as is digital photography + photoshop. These modern AI assisted digital photography methods are another art form, one w

As recently as the 1970s I remember the Rag and Bone man who used to trade in the streets around where my grandparents lived. He used a horse and cart, and was mainly collecting metal. This would have pre-dated the council refuse collection

I think this is the point - each design team and company bet on what they believe their hardware is likely to need to perform. The performance vs power consumption trade off is really tricky when you have to guess what the software landscap

Looking at this history of this problem, it first appeared with the adoption of focal plane shutters, which appeared widely with Leica 35mm cameras, and is a technology used by most SLRs. I know of earlier examples, the Speed Graphic large

It really depends on your kitchen, and the sort of cooking you do. There's definitely been a trend towards disposable kitchen equipment in the pro kitchens, no longer do you see chefs with carbon steel knives, but cheap stainless knive

Having been all over the apple range over the years, the M1 Max Macbook Pro i'm currently using has been I would say the best of their laptops since the original G4 Powerbook. A couple of years into ownership of this machine, and it&#x

I'm going to guess that management of the site has been contracted out to the private sector, and somebody at this management company has put the signs up without really understanding that this may not be technically right. However, it

When i've employed people, I tend to be focussed on their ability to get stuff done, and being responsive to requests, especially external users of the system. Hours spent at the desk is just a proxy for the above, and there are better

Sounds like you are working on deep complex systems - i totally get the experience of needing a couple of hours to stare at how the system behaves before the lightbulb moment when you realise how a simple change will achieve what you want (

The headline doesn't reflect the reality - I think what is really going on here is that 3 hours are spent doing what is considered 'work' by the outside world (sitting in front of the machine and writing the code that people

I think a point of reference would be to try the same prompts on a stock image library, and see what you get by comparison. Taking the 'indian person' prompt on pexels for example gives: https://www.pexels.com/sear

I think the sporting approach of letting the coin drop to the ground rather than catching it is the answer to avoid bias in coin tossing.

I think you'll find that there are other motivations in life other than earning money. I'd suggest that the judges maybe motivated by something else.

For anyone interested in the history of chronometers, I can recommend visiting the exhibition at Greenwich Observatory, as they have the collection of original Harrison's clocks, which lead to the development of the chronometer in it&#

Yes, that's a good point. The G5 was a failure, ran too hot, didn't perform as well as hoped and hence the move to Intel.

I don't remember this being an issue at all. My 1Ghz G4 laptop was a workhorse for me for software development back then. I do remember fan noise though, and paint flaking off the case.

I think the best PowerPC based apple laptop was the Powerbook G4 titanium. It's pretty much a design classic, was lightweight, and ran OS9. It was I think the first Mac that didn't feel like a massive compromise when running a lap

I wasn't clear, I mean, why should Rust have it's own implementation, with the cost and worries about correctness, and maintenance burden vs using an existing library, as is typically what other languages (e.g. Python) would do in

So it's a safety concern, is that what this is about? Safety as in, thread safety that sort of thing? I personally would be more worried about correctness, and so i'm not sure what the win is over wrapping an existing library, lik

I can't seem to fathom the why in this. Why is Rust different from, say, Python?

The way around this is to open an office just for them. It sounds dumb, but it meets the business requirement, and could also drive further recruitment around their location.
