Yeah, the difference is just that the first movie’s DP was aiming for a naturalistic shot, whereas the second DP wasn’t. Tons of 80s and 90s movies have heavily-stylised non-naturalistic lighting (e.g Tim Burton’s Batman)

Both of those are currently hobbyist projects. They may develop further and become useful to the average PHP dev, but they're definitely not there yet.

We also deny it all, by law, to Cuba: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_embargo_against_... The USA's stated goal is regime change. It’s willing to make life worse for Cubans to achieve that goal.

Apple are trying to please two separate groups: - people who use “proper” cameras and thus have expectations about what a photo should look like - people who want iPhone photos to reflect how they perceive the scene. The iPhone camera app i

I work for Slack, opinions my own. IMO the headline should be updated — much less than 1% of Slack’s private code can be accessed via github.com.

Yeah, I suppose, but it's a little like linking to a JPEG by saying "it's two thirds of the way down this HTML page". They could have easily updated the embed to start at the 7th verse.

The article does a poor job of linking to the chord, or to the verse in question. It comes after the 6th verse (featuring a descant, where the highest voices sing above the tune). The 7th verse is all in unison, which makes the chord stand

The notifications used to just be stuff directly applicable to you (X tagged you in a photo etc). Then the demographic that advertisers really care about — affluent Americans in the 25-49 age bracket — stopped using Facebook.com every wakin

Yeah, it's easy to add and remove policy pages, but I imagine there's more work involved in blocking and unblocking Mastodon links. It's in Twitter's interest to say those links are now allowed, while still actually bl

I love the reference to a hairdryer. Science communication at its best that helped me put this all in context.

But in the case of the Xbox they knew there'd be an appetite for a gaming console, because gaming consoles had been selling like hot cakes for over 15 years. VR is a very differently-sized market.

It’s also possible they weren’t able to see benefits given the processors that were available to them at the time. It’s also possible that they were so far behind Waymo in the journey to FSD that they weren’t yet at a point where multiple s

If you're just porting the code to a new language, the process can be significantly faster than writing it from scratch. But if you're also re-interpreting the code, which seems to be Donny's approach, you can get bogged down

I'm just guessing here, but I assume Musk realised what Trump did some years ago: > “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters,” he said. A large percentage of Musk's follower

In a 5-10 years, generally-available tools resembling ChatGPT will be able to do about 90% of what a programmer does, but the remaining 10% will remain AI-complete. The AI-complete bit is stuff like reading a set of instructions and realisi

Interesting to see broadcast video from 27 years ago preserved in such high quality. The BBC has spent a lot of money to preserve pretty much everything it has broadcast in the last 30 years.

The main thing about photography is your first 10,000 photos will likely be bad. Modern technology makes it possible to get through 10,000 snaps much faster and much cheaper than when using film. But taking those photos is not enough — it’s

I just heard that a guy I knew committed suicide over the FTX implosion. He was a weath adviser with a bunch of his clients' money tied up there. FTX fucked with peoples' livelihoods, and by extension their lives. Edit: just to cl

You think Twitter is unprofitable now? Just wait until all the advertising dollars disappear because of Musk’s behaviour.

I would not want to work at any company with a recently-gutted workforce where people are constantly looking over their shoulder, and where people with institutional knowledge have been pushed out.

Content is king. Once the big studios started pulling their stuff from Netflix in favour of their own streaming platforms, the writing was on the wall. Netflix doesn’t have the breadth of monetisable IP that the mouse has. The latest season

You can have decentralisation or you can have sub-second responses to whole-network search queries, but you cannot have both. Twitter has two killer features: the people who use it, and search functionality that allows you to get near-insta
