Also don't forget one of the promises of RAW: That RAW developers will continue to evolve, so that you'll be able to generate a better conversion down the line than now. Granted, g…

> ive said this before but we have min-maxed our economy to optimize for profit. We may be entering the reaping phase of that now. Expanding the scope beyond the economy, one could…

Here a certified flight instructor compares his experience teaching MS Flight Sim users vs DCS users. Anecdotal as it might be, he notes a clear advantage to the DCS users in the a…

What makes you say zvols are neglected? In fact the people that did most of the work porting ZFS to Linux, i.e. LLNL, use zvols for their HPC cluster and they still employ a number…

Well said. The movie is powerful enough and the subject relevant enough to still resonate with the younger generation. I do wonder, however, if the older the movie gets, the more d…

I'd say Naqoyqatsi has all the qualities of the first two movies, except in the area of visuals. The score is phenomenal, up there with Glass' best.

With minor tweaks LXD works just as well or better for this, with a polished UX.

Former unimportant Eve player active 2008-2017, involved in most of the big wars of that time-frame. I met Mittens for the first time in meatspace in 2011, before he built much of …

There are many possible reasons for images not looking so sharp. From the top of my head: - When not stopped down, most lenses are not that sharp, especially older ones. - Most sen…

No. Light is quantized (photons), as is analog film (emulsion crystals remain clear or turn dark, never in between). Virtually all modern DSLRs and DSLMs have 14 bit sensors, which…

Indeed. A similar thing happened in the HiFi loudspeaker industry: If manufacturers simply pursued higher fidelity they'd converge on flat (on/off-axis) frequency response, near pe…

Indeed, for the last two decades the first movement of Soil Festivities has been my go-to track to get me in the zone when I have to get any serious writing going. It just flows so…

Yes, it is of course based on the Cyberpunk TTRPG IP, which sets many world building aspects. However if compare the content of the Cyberpunk 2020 TTRPG guidebook with what is in 2…

Just as the Witcher games are basically fan fiction paying homage to Sapkowskis books, CP2077 needs to be seen as a homage to many classics of the cyberpunk genre. Neuromancer, Sno…

Indeed. At $currentJob with 1k employees we use Dell laptops (currently Latitude 74xx series, Precision 75xx and 55xx). The 55 series has been the most problematic by far. The earl…

So do I! Which is why I absolutely loved the symphonic poem to FF6, especially the arrangement of Kefka's theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5uVAD7jliM

I tend to agree. But there is another aspect: Sadly the democratization of internet access has lowered the bar across the board in regards to both form and content of discussions i…

... but its an essential feature if you're using the software to run, say, an internal company microblogging service.

Moving containers between hosts is not a use case that is well supported by docker. The tenor being that you should rather delete and recreate. While not a replacement for docker, …

Tangentially the same is true for mountain bikes to a degree, and for a reason not mentioned in the article: Wider tires (run with lower pressure) cope better with uneven or soft t…

Consider that even before the sun-setting of Atlassians server editions price is one of the main reasons I see for customers wanting to migrate away from Jira (and Confluence for t…

How do you justify being more expensive than even Jira Cloud? IMO if you can't beat Jira on pricing while positioning yourself as an alternative to the market leader you've already…

I've spent an afternoon testing zstd's custom dictionaries. It really only provides benefits on small data blocks. According to my tests, the largest blocks at which custom diction…

RAW naturally doesn't make you a better photographer, but there are clearly benefits that can result in better looking pictures than what the in-camera JPEG conversion is capable o…
