A finished software product that gets regular updates is old by the time it turns 7, I'd agree on that. Dependencies on libraries is a different story, there's only so many ways you can implement a functionality, and some of these

You have naked git repos in synced cloud folders, without using git remote functionalities? That would be careless and you are actively begging for things to break that way, so I'm not surprised. In fact I'd bet any other servic

This works for conditionals: In [4]: f = lambda x: "Yes" if x else "No" In [5]: f(True) Out[5]: 'Yes' In [6]: f(False) Out[6]: 'No' It's Python's version of ternar

This just isn't feasible for me from a usability perspective. Private email is with Fastmail, but work email is something else entirely. Both have good webmails, but vastly different UX. By using Thunderbird I can get the same UI/

Then you'd go with `filter_enabled` or similar, which is an entirely different, separate flag. It is not coupled to what the filter itself looks like.

Yep, it's decent. I also have its successor, T490s, which is much worse (e.g., no full ethernet port). That being said, my T480s had to go into warranty aleady, three times total if you count the TB3 docking station (which to me counts

It's a file system table , isn't that what it stands for? F S tab reflects that, F stab is super misleading.

While there's good things for a kid to learn from spreadsheets, it might also do harm because it's so dissimilar to "the real thing". It's like when students learn MatLab. While much closer to regular software engin

Is this a Cortana feature? Nothing pops up for me (WIN key), and a search online reveals it seems liked to Cortana, which I seemed to have disabled.

This is now at 700 comments, and no one is talking about the math in the Twitter "thread". Found no mention in the Twitter replies either. Is it just me or is the math hilariously off? [0]: "10% of $150M is $15M". Correc

PowerRename has worked fine for me, can also recommend it. However, when there's directories and many, many files involved, I just use Python with pathlib. It's a couple lines of code anyone can learn to do, with all the flexibili

This is the exact reason I switched back as well (next to Lightroom). It just works. But it is extremely sad to ditch an entire OS for lack of what seems a manageable issue, fractional scaling. I wish it wouldn't be necessary.

by diarrhea 6y ago
Throw cores at that particular problem all you want. Throw 64GB RAM at it, and GPU acceleration. Won't help, since that issue is very likely I/O bottlenecked. So it's unfair to blame Lightroom here. My photos sit on a 5400 RP

A popular path is to ditch Lightroom for the trio of Rapid Photo Downloader, digikam and finally RawTherapee. This was entirely unusable for me. RawTherepee is only for RAW treatment/export. Digikam can only do photo organization. Now

Sadly, the software is quite terrible. Last I checked, it only did 720p. Even an entry-level Sony at that $700-800 price range outclasses what the software can do by a long shot. So there's no way to make use of high-end Sony gear for

I disagree somewhat. Coming from a photography background, we should distinguish quantity and quality . Quantity of light you can make up with higher gain (ISO) and higher available dynamic range also helps, as you mentioned. Quality of

Are you using shell for installations, or make? I would think builds/installs/tests are more easily done via make, as opposed to a self-made shell implementation.

I also switched to TeXLive on Windows recently, because lualatex runs significantly faster there.

Being on HN and talking about TeXLive, I was thinking in terms of Linux, for which those 90GB blockbuster games don't exist (?). So I did a mental jump there, because to me TeXLive is the "native" Linux TeX distribution, and

by diarrhea 6y ago
You are not having any issues because TeXLive is everything. The `full` scheme on `install-sh` or `texlive-full` on Debian takes up around 7 GB last time I looked, 2 to 3 of which are PDFs for package documentation. That is, by a long sho
