> If you try to print big (let's say A3+) you'll rapidly find the limits of the m43 system I’ve printed a good number of images shot on m43 at about that size, and that’s not been my experience. The specifics definitely matter,

Since you mentioned image processing in particular, I’d recommend looking into Halide instead of (or as well as) CUDA. Few reasons: 1. It allows for easy experimentation with the order in which work is done (which turns out to be a major fa

At this point I'm pretty terrible at QWERTY on a physical keyboard. I'm fine with it on phones and tablets for some reason, but my brain is pretty hard-wired for Colemak on physical keyboards at this point. I also use a Kinesis Ad

You may want to try using JetBrains' Rider as your IDE. I've hit similar issues with XF in VS, but Rider has been a much better experience for me. For instance: it won't lose its shit if you double-click a XAML file :) Also h

That's fair, but I think that XF has a good story around integrations with other frameworks to fill its gaps: SkiaSharp has the SkiaSharp.Views.Forms namespace, for instance, and there's solid documentation on integrating the two,

If you're considering learning Dvorak, I'd strongly recommend considering Colemak instead. I tried Dvorak with the hope that it would mitigate RSI, but it spreads the work among fingers pretty unevenly -- I really ended up just mo

Additionally, most cameras these days will under-expose by a pretty substantial amount. Digital darkroom software maintains a database of cameras with an entry for how much each camera under or over-exposes (mostly under) which is applied b

I’ve recently been experimenting with this board, which looks to be quite similar (Allwinner H5): https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&... Overall it’s an impressive little package, however I

Whilst it can be somewhat subjective, and different styles of photography will benefit different amounts from exotic gear, it's surprisingly complex even in fairly narrow domains. You're probably right that the first image wouldn&

As for camera makers releasing SDKs, there’s a few, though I’ve found them to be unimpressive (binary only blobs for Windows, etc). However more interesting to me are cameras that speak standard(ish) protocols. I’ve been looking into this r

It's totally about laziness! But that's what computers are all about -- I could store printed versions of all of my documents in a filing cabinet, and go and manually sort them every time I needed a different ordering, but I'm lazy! I use a

So, I will say that I bundled documentation and "openness" into one box, which I probably shouldn't have. The connection is that absented of the "openness" we were really looking for, we sought documentation to describe what's going on. Tha

Don't know on the first one, but you can use ctrl + cursor keys to move between spaces. Fairly sure that's the default, but if not, it can be setup in preferences for Spaces.

I'll make just one refutation to this: I am not a Java programmer :) I had to learn Java specifically for this project. Python is my preferred hammer for most nails, but not an option on mobile. I've also been a professional C programmer

QEMU is a truly awesome piece of code. Everything Fabrice Bellard does is incredible. You could well be right that they're not using it correctly -- that sounds entirely plausible. I guess my point was more that, whatever the cause, the net

The inception link was just a bit of fun :) Thanks for your comments, and the typo in that first sentence was pretty bad. Sorry about that. I've ceded the grammatical highground for the foreseeable future with that gaffe.

I love my Thinkpad. It's had all sorts of tortuous treatment and just keeps on ticking. It was kind of amazing the first time I spilt water on it to have it drain out through the holes in the bottom of it and just keep going (I've also step

As an Aussie, in the current YC batch, I have to say that the answer is unfortunately no. YC is just an unbelievable phenomenon, and I think it's unlikely to be successfully replicated anywhere. To understand my answer, you really need to u

Hi again, I don't think you're condemning us or anything -- I appreciate the honest feedback. Founders love people who disagree with them (at least a little bit :)) -- we much prefer to hear what's wrong with our products that we can fix ra

Heya liedra, Well, we're definitely not professional ethicists. What we do do a lot of is talking to our customers, and the people we've spoken to, generally, haven't been the paranoid types that you describe. Generally they've been very le

There'll definitely still be times when you'll want to pick up the phone and call them. For sure. But our belief is that there's also plenty of times when you really do just want to know where they are. If you're a busy person (say you're a
