Imagine if we have 40 variants of assembly. Would software development have developed at the same pace?

Personally for me, I am much less interested in the implementation in frontend and more interested in performance, accessibility, responsiveness, etc.

Frontend frameworks are just means to an end. If we can standardize to one, then I will have more time to focus on the more important parts.

More discussion should be had if the cascade is even beneficial in the first place.

It's ironic because standard software development practices advocate isolation.

I think that's some of the drive behind cascade layers, so we can have more control of the cascade

I created a whole Counterstrike map back in the day in a few days.

Meanwhile, I can't get anything substantially done in Blender in a week. I just gave up.

i mean blender has to support a lot more than a mapping tool for a game. it seems pretty expected to me that it would be more complicated to have complete freedom to do whatever you want vs the strict limits that such a tool imposes on you.

My 6xx still worked when I left it at home when moving countries for my siblings to use. I really loved that headphone!

Didn't know that. This probably explained why MacOS felt sluggish compared to my Windows PC even though I was using them on the same 144hz monitor.

The Mac Pro would have been much more popular if MacOS was still compatible with Nvidia GPUs.

My process is to take a lot of photos, then ruthlessly cull them before I do any editing.

I usually keep around 10% of the total photos for editing. After that, I do another round of culling and keep only the best.

I also follow a philosophy of "good enough". If left to my own devices, I would probably endlessly edit photos.

I edit a single photo for around 3 minutes. That way, I will not feel stuck.

I used to take a lot of photos and then cull them afterwards before editing. It worked, although I was often loving shooting and dreading editing, because before doing any actual editing, I'd have 200 photos to sift through.

After a lot of practice, I became better at culling in my head, before even taking the photos. This has shifted my relationship with photography to more of a cognitive exercise, with a different set of enjoyments. I take far fewer photos overall - often I go out with a camera and don't even take a single shot. Editing is more enjoyable because there's less to do and I already know what edits I want. It's less naively fun but more contently fulfilling.

I find it much easier to cull photos quickly now by thinking that a bad photo will unlikely become a great photo just because you edited it.

If it doesn't catch my attention on my first culling pass, I just delete without regrets.

I found myself noticing the 10% keep rate a few months back and now keep that as as shooting target. I want 30 photos from today, better capture 300 times.

This is how I use my Canon t3i. Once in awhile everything will align perfectly, require very little editing and I feel a huge sense of accomplishment.

With practice and patience, the aligning perfectly will come into your control :) Just get out there and shoot more!

I am getting a virus detected error when downloading from Chrome.

it's a false positive, however feel free to build from the source while I'm figuring out what the virus trigger is about

Genuinely asking: if you are touch typing, do you really need keyboard backlighting?

The typing part is easy. Honestly the backlighting is mainly useful for a few situations:

1. Hitting an FKey or the keys like brightness that use the Fkeys. 2. Locating the Fn key on PC laptops (honestly even on the Mac I forget that it's in the corner) 3. tapping a keyboard shortcut like `,` or `c` while watching YouTube

Yes. Especially if I'm typing 'y-o-u-t-u-b-e-.-c-o-m' with one hand while laying in bed at night.

I do. I touch type, but I still like being able to see the letters that I am pressing.

I feel its because of iOS aggressive RAM saving feature rather than the lack of RAM.

I know this because I still get some of my web pages refreshed even if the browser is literally the only app that is running.
