I have a pretty full on setup, with a condenser microphone on a boom, studio lights and softboxes pointed at me, with a full frame mirrorless camera and a high frame rate capture card. I tried doing meetings with it, but ended up getting a

I definitely could be absolutely wrong about this, but I don't think computational photography will be a huge way forward for these kinds of cameras. Smartphones have fully taken over the light/compact segment, they're better

I don't know if it's a travesty, but the website is generally looked down upon by most photographers. The goal seems to be volume of content rather than anything useful, or in many cases, even accurate.

I'm inclined to agree. Maybe I would have phrased it differently, but the only counter to this I've seen here is "what if society didn't exist?" It doesn't need to be taken to that extreme. I find it hard to be

I would argue it does matter. Not to say that absolute position doesn't matter, it does, and probably even more so, but relative position has some very real effects. The main one that jumps out for me is power, and influence. As an exa

The "both parties are the same" thing is a meme in some more engaged circles, because it's so obviously false to anyone paying attention. It really shouldn't be surprising that the incumbent party benefits from this atti

I absolutely agree with you, although I'm a little more optimistic. 2PP has Labor winning the next election. Some key figures in the Liberal party (Frydenberg, Hunt) have some tough campaigns ahead of them after the massive bias agains

No principle is beyond question. How can you be in the wrong for wanting to discuss the value of maintaining a position? Particularly in the face of such tragic circumstances. Unwavering, unconditional support for an idea - any idea - seems

For me, Microsoft Teams installed itself one day, unprompted. In order to remove it, I uninstalled it. The following day, it came back. It turns out you have to remove both Microsoft Teams and something I think was called "Teams Machin

I've read about Hooks for awhile, but they still confuse me. Maybe it's largely because I haven't experienced any of the pain points that are described as the motivation for their development, but I've used a number of s

Appreciate your luck, not your ego, you won't make as many stupid decisions that way. It could be argued that Warren Buffet does exactly this.

Even in the same tax bracket, your effective tax rate will go down (because less of your income is in that bracket.)

It's funny because all over the Discord documentation, the "servers" are referred to as "guilds". I'm fairly certain this was the intent in the beginning. But because gamers are used to joining a server to play

I definitely disagree with this, it sounds like you're only taking into account the big budget titles that the media talks (and complains) about. My favourite story game, Life is Strange from DONTNOD, literally brought me to tears. Goi

I use Firefox at home, but I use Chrome at work. I'm mostly just trialling Firefox at home for now. I've swapped to Firefox before, but there's always things that annoy me every time I do. Having things like the Bookmark Mana

I don't know if I'd call the overhead cables "a blight on the streetscape." and the tracks inside the CBD aren't particularly deep. How do they impact pedestrians and cyclists? I take a tram to work every day, and a

I tried gaming on Linux awhile back, my biggest problem was how spotty the nVidia drivers are. I realise nVidia is mostly to blame here, but it's definitely still a problem that's preventing me from ever really being able to game

I definitely advocate for Windows 10, it has a lot of features I like, but the auto-installing drivers has been a nuisance for me. The biggest issue is when I have a computer with both integrated graphics, and a dedicated graphics card. I u

I really like Mumble, and I never use the audio channels in Discord because of the horrible quality. With that said, I never use it. I use TeamSpeak for audio and Discord for persistent chat. My biggest problem, and the reason I think a lot

Radioactive waste is a problem, but I don't think it's worse than the effects of climate change. It may not be perfect, but Nuclear solves a lot of problems.

I'm very familiar with the staggering difference in image quality between a smartphone and a DSLR - I have a full-frame myself. In terms of the UI however, it's definitely very out of date. When I upgraded my camera, one of the ad

Australia isn't FPTP though, we have preference voting which often does elect third party candidates in small or local elections. In the past decade, we've had parliaments only able to establish a majority by negotiating a deal wi

I'd like to see Nvidia embrace open source and developer relations a bit better. Similar to what Microsoft is doing. I definitely think it's in their best interests to open up RTX capabilities as much as possible, and it's no

I don't necessarily agree with the parent, but the current system supports publishers, journals and rights-holders far more than it does artists and researchers. Until we have a popular means of paying artists directly, or self-publish

Helios works pretty well, and I believe is in actual use for some college elections with people trying to break it. I'm curious to see an implementation of a variant called 'BeleniosRF'[1], which adds the requirement that vot

For me, it's whatever I believe would take less time. I can write a left-pad function in less time than it would take to find the npm package, install it, import it and integrate it. With more complex systems, how much integration&#x2F

The article is about PWAs which have no native code. The restriction for DirectX is a technical one, not a business one. Cross-compiling is possible, but difficult as the ABI has to perfectly match. Not being able to push a bundle of JS+HTM

Requiring a computer to make an app is hardly a fair comparison. The point the author is making is that you need a Mac to build an iOS app. It's impossible to make an iOS app on any other platform. Meanwhile, you're perfectly capa
