It sounds like you wasted your time. I didn’t waste mine, and @sarchertech didn’t waste theirs. I have asked some 30 year olds, in addition to reading quite a bit of research on this topic. I’m not at all surprised some people find their ti

The sentence would be correct with a comma, therefore it’s correct with a semicolon, if going by either the Oxford or Wikipedia definitions. Colon works, and it changes the flavor slightly, but it’s certainly not the only way to write this

Most people are enjoying the 2x salary premium. Why do you think I’m in a bubble? What evidence do you have that it’s not you wallowing? I’ve read some of the research that tries to tease apart credentialism from skills, read maybe a dozen

Thanks, that MIT page really highlights how exaggerated your first comment was. Your job wasn’t to show that an intro to Python course exists, of course an intro to Python course exists, duh. Your job was to show that intro to Python made u

What school are you thinking of? I’ve never met someone whose CS degree consisted of intro to Python, and I’ve been interviewing people with CS degrees for a couple of decades. Mine included a year of introductory CS (basic algorithms and d

Your story is an argument that it’s possible (as is the parent comment btw), but it doesn’t demonstrate that it’s likely. We have pretty hard evidence that it’s more difficult to get good jobs without the degree. Not impossible, just more d

The point here is not that it’s loops per se, the point is that the indexing is explicit. It seems like a big win to me. The article’s ~10 non-trivial examples all make the code easier to read, and more importantly, to understand exactly wh

Yep, and I think a lot of people who’ve tried it would agree. I’ve heard the same from others too, and I believe it. I don’t know what typical display latency of just browsing files with a monitor these days. I’d guess it’s probably a few f

Is it only 500 or 10, and nothing in between? You could have argued against 500 with the GP comment instead of countering with something that’s demonstrably untrue. I handed you the study you asked for. Movies’ 24Hz is too slow, just watch

What does the lack of light quote prove? That’s a statement about color resolution, not range, and it uses “high dynamic range” and not “HDR content”. I think you’ve missed my point and are not listening. Yes tone mapping is used on HDR ima

I couldn’t have named the standard and never read it before today, but I’ve used YYYY-MM-DD for naming my own folders & files for a couple of decades, for the simple reason that it sorts correctly in chronological order.

Sure people have the option to control their own speed, and authorities can police speeders. The accident rate we have already accounts for that. Speeders are still dying, and they’re taking out more non-speeders with them than the total nu

Hehe outside is “HDR content”? To me that still comes off as confused about what HDR is. I know you aren’t, but that’s what it sounds like. A sunny day has a high dynamic range for sure, but the acronym HDR is a term of art that implies mor

People get robbed at gas stations, convenience stores, parking lots, and streets at fairly high numbers. I’m not sure what we’re comparing or debating here, but does your example actually count as a “robbery” if they died first? Would it no

I heard about that one too, very unique and weird for sure! But we could go through the stories of each of the few hundred fatalities that happened on public transit last year, and it wouldn’t even be a blip compared to the tens of thousand

It’s funny how the one time it has ever happened that someone wielded a chainsaw on the subway it’s memorable news, and becomes evidence of a narrative that all of public transit is ‘sketchy’. That article’s from 7 years ago, and nobody got

Sorry man, you seem really defensive, I didn’t mean to put you on edge. Okay, if you are calling the scenes “HDR” then I’m happy to rescind my critique about Ansel Adams and switch instead to pointing out that “HDR” doesn’t refer to the ran

I agree capture, format and display are closely related. But HDR capture and processing specifically developed outside of HDR display devices, and use of HDR displays changes how HDR images are used compared to LDR displays. > The post n

by dahart 1y ago
Yep, absolutely! ;) This brings up a bunch of good points, and it tracks with what I was trying to say about conflating HDR processing with HDR display. But do keep in mind that even when you have absolute value images, that doesn’t imply a

by dahart 1y ago
Good question. I think it depends. They are kind of different concepts, but in practice they can overlap considerably. RAW is about using the camera’s full native color resolution, and not having lossy compression. HDR is overloaded, as you

As I remember it, Paul Debevec had borrowed Greg Ward’s RGBE file format at some point in the late 90s and rebranded it “.hdr” for his image viewer tool (hdrView) and code to convert a stack of LDR exposures into HDR. I can see presentation

Do you have any links from 1990ish that show use of “HDR”? I am interested in when “HDR” became a phrase people used. I believe I remember hearing it first around 1996 or 97, but it may have started earlier. It was certainly common by 2001.
717.
by dahart 1y ago
That’s true, and it’s why tonemapping is distinct from HDR. If you follow the link from @xeonmc’s comment and read the comments, the discussion centers on the conflation of tonemapping and HDR. https://news.ycombinator.com/i

They didn’t call that “HDR” at the time, and it wasn’t based on the idea of recording radiance or other absolute physical units. I’m certain physicists had high range digital cameras before Cineon, and they were working in absolute physical

HDR is not referring to the scene’s range, and it doesn’t apply to film. It’s referring superficially but specifically to a digital process that improves on 8 bits/channel RGB images. And one of the original intents behind HDR was to c

by dahart 1y ago
This! Yes I think you’re absolutely right. The term “HDR” is in part kind of an artifact of how digital image formats evolved, and it kind of only makes sense relative to a time when the most popular image formats and most common displays w
