I live on the border of an urban forest. I’ve come to realize that urban forests double as homeless camps. My homeless camp has is rife with crime, drug over doses, violence and fire. Last month I’ve had a leaf blower stolen, my car window

I’ve not interviewed under a high stakes situation for a very long time. So it’s hard for me to relate directly. I’m sure if I really needed a job, or I was really excited for a position it would be different. All the interviews I’ve taken

Trump had 88.9mm followers on twitter. He has 3.9mm followers on Truth. Trump will have people listen to him no matter where he’s writing, but one of these platforms is certainly a downgrade in terms of audience than the other.

Does anyone have the “Bob code” story? Where some guy renamed PHP to BOB and proceeded to pretend that he was unfirable with much success?

There’s a lot to unpack here. But Picasso wasn’t a hack. Overrated, sure. But he approached his subject matter and technique with as much focus and detail as any artist that came before him. You aren’t required to appreciate his contributio

This guy must be James Bond. I’ve had my 2013 MacBook Pro since it came out and I never needed service on it. My 2016 MacBook Pro, no service. 2020 MacBook Pro, no service. I like that this company is making completely replaceable parts tho

I looked into building an adu a few years back, and I can backup most of what you said. At least in California, in an incorporated city. We worked out that it would cost us $30k in fees, and required spending before we could even dig the fo

NIMBYism regarding more housing really only pertains to metropolitan/urban areas. How come the rest of the state can’t build housing consummate to the demand?

This is the biggest asshole response to real problems that I see Californians say all the time. Maybe I just know too many assholes – but there has to be a better answer to “people are fleeing California for legitimate reasons” than “good r

Get the A73 and you’ll never think about the battery again. The worst part of the A72 was the battery and the buffer. The A73 made both of those concerns a non-issue.

Pros buy new cameras about once a decade. And they don’t like drastic changes in UI. The reluctance to change and infrequent purchase cadence makes supporting the professional market a real bear. I understand that they typically sell their

I just saw this, so excuse the late response. I’m pretty bad at storage discipline. And I admit that most of what I store is generally useless. But there’s diminishing returns on deciding what to store, vs. storing everything. I have a litt

From what I gather, this only affects the new Lightroom app, and primarily the iOS apps.

I’ve been shooting for a very long time. And I shoot several sessions per month, and roughly 60gb per session. Sometimes much more, sometimes less. There is no possible way, nor reason, to have all those images in the cloud. I split up my c

It’s one thing for India to censor something for a stupid reason. It makes me uncomfortable to have China be able to influence all these other global countries into global (or in this case localized) censorship. Hollywood, News Companies, a

I see. It’s at least every fifth for me. An there’s some cases where it’s 3 or 4. Depends on what content they’re sandwiching. Second post is always an ad. There’s an ad before they tell you you’re all caught up. And it looks like followed

Confirmed. Last time I checked, every 6th post was an ad. Just checked and it’s now every 5th. There’s several large magazines that are 50% ad content. I bet that’s the ceiling.

I think skate photographers got early exposure medium format and to the Hasselblad brand itself. Growing up watching Atiba and Blabac creeping into video frames with their Zeiss 30’s – and all the square framed iconic shots made the hassy a

Then you simply take a loan out from the MTA fund. The same way our lottery monies are allocated towards education, but find their way to fund various pension funds. Perhaps this new fee will be used to fund MTA’s pension liabilities, and t

Any new money for public spending is typically used to pay down the ballooning public pension liabilities. And if it doesn’t go towards pensions, it’s diverted away to other welfare projects, or education. Point is these new funds won’t mak

If you think newer “technology” (re: programming language or framework) is superior to older “technology” – you are likely agist, and part of the problem.

I’ve been remote for 7 years. A lot of people seem to reference company culture as the seed for wether or not being remote will be successful. I disagree. The company doesn’t care about you. And the company culture certainly doesn’t care ab

By the title you’d assume these are candid shots of people in real life situations with the phones digitally removed. The actual method the photographer used was to stage situations, and acquire models to act out scenarios for maximum effec
