This really depends on the build. I have lived/stayed in places in the middle of dense urban areas where you essentially never hear anything (occasionally sirens if the windows are open, that sort of thing), and others where you can

Love why? It's not the only comparison/analysis that can be made but it's an interesting one, to pick countries with roughly equivalent planning parameters.

Coding standards an cleanliness are at the wrong level. What makes it easy to make changes, add features, find bugs, etc. is good design . Testing can help find problems, sure, but you can't test in quality (you can only, to a degree,

“Broadens the range of shots” We aren’t disagreeing. But it’s mostly at the fringe where you can’t do anything at all with meh gear.

right, and the trade off there is you may get flagged for structuring and locked out, right? As I said, there is a range of cost/risk/PITA options available. This is niche enough I don't think it's particularly worrying

Other than robustness, 'pro' gear mostly expands the range of parameters you can push and still get a decent shot. It's not going to give you an eye. Elsewhere in thread it's correctly noted that in a lot of cases ligh

Sure, write a personal check then and expect a lengthy hold. Or something else on the risk vs. PITA vs. cost framework. Point is, wires are cheap for what they do. They aren't your only option, but all options have tradeoffs.

If a type doesn't exist in your toolchain, your compile will fail an you will know why. Conversely, incorrect assumptions about size/size/capacity can lead to subtle run-time bugs.

Professional photography and videography gear has always only been about that though. It broadens the range of shots you can get and/or the efficiency of the process (and usually puts up with more abuse).

Not int the context of these amounts. $20-ish to move 200k safely is nothing. If you are doing it internationally, it's typically tiny compared to the FX cost.

It's a pretty niche problem though, so I guess not surprising they aren't great about communicating it (it probably was communicated, on page 30 of your agreement in small confusing text).

Not surprising, right? I don't know what you expected implicitly asking them to do the arithmetic for you, but I would've assumed not much care would be taken.

FWIW I have a pair of pros that crapped out around the same time, 14ish months and the mics weren't working - apple replaced them free (but not the charger) and they've gone another year or so now without issue. Obviously YMMV.

I guess I don’t think of an encyclopedia as the place to work that out, mainly because its function as an encyclopedia is thereby lessened. Do you feel like there are a shortage of places to discuss ideas that don’t have much traction?

There is an important difference between "leading edge" and "fringe", in this context. Most useful stuff comes from the leading edge. Occasionally from the fringe, but the SNR there is terrible. Either way though, by

If doing this sort of a migration is a real possibility, it's an argument for having the bare minimum logic in the CI tool and as much as you can in your own scripts...

Yes that's an obvious problem, but manageable I suppose by installing a toolchain or insisting on one when you install. The post I was replying to was about scheme's in general though, not scheme->c implementations, right? Any

Sorry, typed poorly. I meant "but not universal" instead of "if not universal". Updated now. What I was saying is that every implementation I have used did this, not that all of them do. It seem common. FWIW I've

This goes in waves, McCool and that group were seeking ways to get "normal" c++ into the mix in 2001 or so, very early on for shaders.
