Id like to propose an alternative to the alternative posed in the article: Years ago I was tasked with building dozens of basic web forms. Immediately recognizing the inherit silliness of this task (boring, error prone etc), I built a form

Yuuuuuuup lol, under penalty for almost a decade now. In my case I had a forum (remember those!) in support of my software product. Bots would occasionally create accounts and post links to knockoff handbags and watches. I'd tolerate (

Yeah, looking for I should qualify in overall presentation yes. My comment was more a remark on the de-noise Apple's default camera app applies. Again, I'd check out that image I linked to. At 100% zoom the ground detail is quit

The basic point and shoot camera tests are fascinating. A cursory glance shows the Pixel 3's camera the best of the bunch, sometimes by far . That said, as an iPhone user it's annoying to see Apple purposely hobbling itself with
