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 c…

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 o…

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…

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…

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 t…

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…

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 toug…

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. Unwa…

> to the point that newborns actually died as a result of movement restrictions I'm a Victorian, and I've heard this claim before. I assume it's referring to the newborns in Adelai…

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 Microso…

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 …

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 us…

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 S…

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 ti…

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 t…

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 …

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 …

Yeah, I use Atom for JS and VSCode for Rust.

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 persi…

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…

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 abl…

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 …
