It’s giving a positive so likely there’s a bleach and fogging + re-development step on top of the usual ones.

I’m slightly confused by the aim of this article. It goes out if it’s way to state in the first few paragraphs how approachable it is to newcomers, then dives into talking about how good it is at making, other programming languages. How big

It depends what you mean by longer. One thing not mentioned is that platinum prints expose under ultra violet light, light which doesn’t transmit as well through glass to begin with, coupled with several orders of magnitude less sensitivity

Fibre prints are however still a layer on the surface, usually over the top of a baryta (barium sulphite) layer that acts as a white base. Platinum-Palladium prints really are soaked into the fibre of your paper.

Assuming this is a serious question: it’s a marketing decision not a technical limitation. They want you to watch shorts, hence every month they reappear.

Foyles has been owned by Waterstones since 2018 but still keeps its separate branding. Not that you shouldn’t shop there but it’s technically the same thing.

Is it possible to book a ticket that has multiple stops? I considered doing this trip ten years ago and making the most of a three month tourist visa as I did it. What put me off then was that I couldn’t say, spend a few days in Colorado if

Reading this just makes me wonder if he ever (and surely he must have) used an Amiga. Why so bullish on the Macintosh with all its specific weirdness when, even as good as Apple was at the start did he not see the other more interesting for

I still don’t understand how ‘architect’ is an acceptable title. Here in the uk at least it’s a protected title, much like (medical) doctor and you can’t practice and call yourself an architect without approval from their governing body (th

Some corrections: Edison invented the 35mm standard that with a few small changes still lives on, not Kodak. 120 doesn’t refer to the width of the film, it’s an arbitrary numbering Kodak invented along with a huge number of others that didn

Foyles was interestingly weird but eventually got bought by Waterstones and became what it is now. I’d still say it’s better than some, just not by enough. The expensive building changes to the Chinatown side didn’t help the smaller shops a

And yet all photo print sizes, even internationally are defined in inches. Sigh.

Did you read the entire article? They specifically bring up, amongst others, the role the Chinese state is playing in the development of this technology to ‘control and manage’ its populace

Depending on budget, A Nikon FM or FM2 for a fully mechanical camera with a light meter. A Nikon F301 for an overlooked, very cheap but still really good camera. The Canon A/AE-1 and Pentax K1000 get brought up a lot and are now surpri

Persephone? I think you might mean Cassandra, if you’re talking about the woman who was cursed by Apollo to speak the truth but have nobody listen.

Tweeting about why you’ve stopped using the algorithmically generated cartoon ape you paid a large sum of money for as an avatar might be a start. Rather than quietly just making it vanish.

C-level execs are the bullshit in these stories. They meddled with something that wasn’t broken and this was the result.

Just having air conditioning in the UK clearly puts you in a position with electricity use outside of the normal.

As an aside, just went through and read some of your articles, they do indeed live up to the site’s name.

Please, please don’t quit your day job. So much of what I enjoy about your work is that it’s ready when it’s ready, doesn’t come in a specific schedule and avoids so much of the needy attention grabbing that the professionals do.

It works the same way any developer works, it takes the latent image formed in silver halide grains and converts them to metallic silver. Specifically the phenols in the coffee (tannins here) and the added vitamin c are the developing agent

Both Polaroid and Kodak were scientific powerhouses. The original integral film camera, the SX-70, utilised loads of new technology for the time, including flat flex cables and microcontroller commanded shutters. Much of it seems fairly rud

I saw him give a live talk at Boring Conference a few years ago and the way his beard quivers in person is really quite something. Extremely hard to not warm to the man immediately.
