Well it’s a human pointing the camera and pushing the button. It totally depends upon the camera how much influence it has on the actual picture produced. Depending on your settings, hardware control and image processing can be applied to

I used to work in desktop support. One of our supervisors insisted that we have documentation on everything, even simple things like how to install a printer on a windows 95 workstation. The documentation had to include screen shots. So r

I find it amazing that anybody could spend the value of a small car on a piece of clothing. If you think historically, this is in the range of cost that a knight would have spent on his armour, so more in the range of the utility of a main

One of the only things I used to love about having to wear a uniform was the lack of attention needed to spend deciding what to wear each day. You may like clothing, playing with what you wear may give you joy, but for some having to find c

I've not encountered Godot before. Going to download and have a play. Might be just the thing to help scratch my game making itch without having to go into a heavy duty game engine or having to build from scratch..

The unfortunate thing is that most workers in big box stores don't seem to know anything about the products they are selling beyond the dot points right there on the label. They can how ever do a fine job at selling you the latest gre

Witch exactly illustrates my point. You need to intelligently reason about what you have been told, understanding that you may not be a domain expert and that your conclusions will almost certainly miss something that the domain experts ha

The only people who benefit from yet another tax is the accountants who get paid to help the wealthy avoid those taxes. The 1% already manage their affairs to reduce the amount of tax they pay, why would adding yet another tax change that?

I thought the point was that it was not level of poverty that was the problem but the level of inequality... These are of course related, but I would assume that the causality runs from inequality causing poverty rather than the other way

Your point is well made... The other thing you need to think about is that all those extra services can come with a reliability cost if your provider is not 100%. Most outages we've encountered have been because the HA infrastructure

This is a very good point. If I go to a physical shop to touch and get a feel for the product, generally it's after a lot of online research into the product range. I don't go to a physical store expecting to be able to get any u

I would assume that if you have a toolbox with only a small number of tools, you would spend some of your time using that set of tools to make other tools that extend your abilities. I know that many developers in earlier times, before the

Your point is well made, but in the case of Excel, the real question is should you do a lot with it?

I think your point is supported by the number of times you hear people talking about having "faith" in science. This idea that science requires faith is something that confuses and annoys me. The whole point of science is that it

Why does health care have anything to do with employers? I simply don't get it. Somebodies health care should not be threatened simply because they may lose a job.

I'm wondering if there is a correlation between the level of bowing to media hype by including cameras and the actual scientific value of the mission? The recent filming of EDL of the Perseverance rover was spectacular, but a significa

This is very cool. Understand that you are constrained by the datasets you have available, but still very cool. Just wondering if it would be possible to reverse the track and plot out where a waterway is fed from? I understand this would

The last office with a door I had was in the old morgue of the hospital we supported. Was actually a pretty good location once you got used to the funky smells. Quiet, cool, dark and nobody came knocking on the door asking for us to fix

Reading through the original article it seems that the only thing hindering this idea is it's scale. Considering how long it will take to kick off effective terraforming of Mars, it seems to me the at this could be achieved in time wi

My major concern with this is the accuracy of the information. I regularly put in dodgy data on registration forms where there is no financial contract. This puts me at risk of being held to that information. Because it's on the co

This is my life at the moment. Even when I think I may know what is being discussed, experience has shown that a lot of people will try and fake it and being the idiot who doesn’t have a clue and needs it explained is useful for everyone. I
