There are options atm… just not on-device. There’s CHDK, https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/CHDK which changes the firmware of certain Canon compact cameras to add (among other things) RAW output. It should help you get the

Right, but the treaties set the baseline of enforcement that all countries that sign them need to respect, and Berne convention copyright is already pretty strong. If you make laws stronger than that, they only apply in your own country. Th

Source? There are no EU laws. There are only directives, that member states need to implement, just like they need to implement the treaties they are signatory to, in their local laws. This is a good overview of the different directives and

Yes, because of Berne you don’t need to register copyright, and your copyright applies in all countries that are signatories. But it’s still national copyright you are dealing with. As a German publisher, if an Italian publisher distributes

Source? Copyright applies where the work is distributed. If you sell a counterfeit Japanese book in Germany, the Japanese publisher will need to sue in a German court. That makes sense because Japanese laws and courts have no bearing on Ger

This why I find the geek-o-sphere so tiring dissecting things like why are the new Star Wars movies bad… I have no problem believing that… the old ones might have been better, but they were also formulaic and badly acted and the reason they

The latter probably, but you could also say that means your standards have evolved, and it’s less easy to find material that challenges you. I tend to think it’s out there though, so I wouldn’t give up just yet! Our desires might be simple,

Your individual experience says nothing. I also look much younger than my age, what did I do for that ? Nothing. At least nothing extraordinary. No obsessive sports and no obsessive dieting. I just got lucky. If I did do a specialised diet

Close, I think it’s more about signalling you’re not into traditional gender roles. There are women who are into that, just like there are gay men who don’t like effeminate men. If you live in a place with enough potential friends and lover

Tinder wouldn’t report that, since it’s not very encouraging for their customers. The source most linked seems to be someone on Medium who interviewed people: https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-g

That’s a good point that the article doesn’t touch on! (and along with the other ones from the article, makes a lot more sense than the “10% of the men date all the women” meme I see repeated in this HN discussion).

I see this talking point all the time yet never backed up by studies. That would mean that these attractive men put a premium on quantity over quality (because they’d have to date women less attractive then them for the numbers to work out)

Nice flex bro! > My advice is to not bother with dating until you reach certain status in life, earn good money, have good physique, have friends in high places and most importantly, provide fun. Horrible advice. Only the last one is rea

You should be able to convert them to OTF files with Fontforge. OTF supports both Postscript outlines (cubic bézier) and TrueType outlines (quadratic bézier). That should be lossless for the curves, however does someone know if it’s the cas

Right, these products don’t work for me because their interfaces reproduce what was bad about 1980ies technology: small screens, shift buttons to enable multiple functions, lots of conventions you have to learn by heart. DAW’s are so much e

Seems like that tax has been scrapped though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B9GLrJoUA8 So like other commenters point out, at this point it’s more likely to be market segmentation. Sony and Canon, for example, make profe

The reasoning I heard from a GP is: the more values you get back, the higher the chance of a false positive. A GP who has blood tested will do so based on your symptoms. Get the lab to do all the possible tests, and chances are at least one
