This is obviously aimed at the Leica/Ricoh crowd, not high throughput photography (events, sports, documentary) or product. Also, 4300 raw files should be enough for quite a long holiday/many street photography sessions.

Did it occur to you that a nurse is a nurse because they are good at nursing sick people and not because they are good at customer support? I want my nurse to take care of my health, not to know where I can find stuff. You are misplacing yo

I think this is a naive way of looking at the problem. People that start working in banks, generally do that as a starting point. ATC is the end of the road for that career. Working in a bank is the start of a quite lucrative career, workin

I have to wonder if the fakes made by this unique forger aren't works of art in their own merit...

My mom is a doctor, pediatrician, and she finished medical school end of 70s or beginning of 80s. One of her coworkers went by the title "moaşa", the Romanian word for midwife.

And we don't need IDEs to develop software, yet IDEs are the way, sometimes only way, for some people to develop good software.

Not sure if you are facetious or not, but here's why I use an IDE. Many years ago I saw an advertisement about some cooking tool. This old East Asian grandma, ninja grandma looking, was doing some prep work for some dish. She stops, lo

Why bantering? 150k a year puts you in the 1% earners in UK, plenty to comfortable live on. As you mentioned, having such a job in ones CV can only help. But, I've been a Chelsea fan for most of my life, if I take such a job at Arsenal

Not sure if you intentionally obtuse or simply don't get it. There is no reason to be a fan of an organization whose main goal is to be making money, but there are plenty of reasons to be a fan of an organization whose main goal is to

Plus, jobs like this are for people that have a connection with the organization. I can't see myself doing anything, however good the pay might be, for Arsenal. Would be very glad to do that for Chelsea.

From my experience on the Meta side of the interview process, the questions are designed to account for "a bad day". Also, the follow ups are designed to eventually lock the candidate, since is not enough to pass the low bar, they

Before you do that, you need to be very careful about two things: 1. Tide state, witch I did 2. Dog poo, which I didn't and there is a pub I won't ever go back to, as I discovered the poo issue quite late.

Addictive game, well done. But why do you think WebGL is going to still exists in 20 years? Flash seemed to be here to stay, considering how much content was made for it, then "suddenly" gone. /edit: Whether WebGL as a whole

No offense, but "lightable" and "darkroom" are well established photography terms. A lighttable is literally a table with a light source under the table body and was used to easily and quickly "see" your develo

There is a route I drive at least once a week. I can do it without GPS (in my case is Google maps via Android Connect). Yet, every time I ignored the suggested deviations from the "standard" route, I ended up regretting it. As an

To be honest, he also has an article arguing the opposite. Probably he wanted to present both sides of the coin, but i find this particular article to be very wrong.

Most of the article boils down to: "labels are not gatekeepers anymore".

I think is a bit nuanced than that and there is a clear reason why a manager might go for a contractor instead of in house. A good manager will have a clear understanding of his slice of the company, what work needs done, what are the hoops
