Totally understandable. The French press can be a pretty accessible brewer too. If I want a second coffee, I like to take another break to make it. I’m very process oriented though.

At the risk of buying two more brewers instead of just one, what’s this coffee after water method? Isn’t that more of as immersion brew?

My bank is continuously surprised that I understand this. It’s probably a bad sign.

The thing about low code is the successful products in that field have their blocks built by experienced teams. I’ve heard of setting up low code apps via LLMs and that almost makes sense. They can only do as much damage as a bad project manager cosplaying a solution engineer, scrapping the whole exercise isn’t too bad, and they can be a nice demo for the client.

I would have thought describing images you post to spaces for blind people would be common sense, but do find my self enforcing rules on that all the time. Rules that are front and center. A real code of conduct formalizes rules, allows for consistent enforcement, and informs minority populations of the protections they may expect. If you don’t need that, I’m happy for you, but you may want to explore the nature of that privilege. Whether or not that’s necessary in the context of FOSS projects depends on multiple factors. It’s certainly not necessarily if you want to be a benevolent dictator for life.

Good points! Stylized vs realistic is also decided with subject and composition, not just medium.

I hadn’t thought about re-editing in this context. That kind of flexibility leaves room for a later choice too.

Very interesting. Yeah, the K1000 and friends are great for the fundamentals, developing and printing is as important to learn as cursive or touch typing.

Do pros recommend film for anything apart from learning or the vibes though? Yeah, I’ll only get a frame or two with my Pentax, but I could get 30 plus with the R10, let alone an a9. Aren’t these better tools of the trade?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photojournalist or a corporate photographer doing anything but digital, and I only see wedding photographers doing stylistic editing. Even that is actually going into staged photos, so documentary work seems to be very realistic.

So you’re focused on artistic intent? I get that.

My reason to shoot or edit in black and white is to narrow down the scope of the photo to specific elements.

That means I’m pre-interpreting the scene. Either giving people what I’m focused on or not showing the full scene, depending on interpretation. And the historians will have to deal with it, like you said.

It’s weird how big of a deal he made about the noise and I barely heard it.

Oh, I get the business side of it. I don’t get people wanting this, but I guess I’m just not into showboating, like you said.

I know he also didn’t want a bigger one, you’re “supposed to” use the bypass method. Which works really well, in my experience.

The good cheap brewer, but expensive. I don’t get it. Help?

Well, it’s not quite that bad, but it takes a special kind of person to send their very obviously visually impaired coworker screenshots instead of plaintext. And I know a few of them.

Are you my coworkers?

Right, as an instance admin, I’m very confident I can avoid Facebook’s mistakes. I don’t have the same motivations.

No, registers and bit-wise manipulation. In a Minecraft server running in the browser.

With enough zooming, even I can tell it’s the same profile picture. Wow.

That’s good, but you’re still the perfect of that meme where the stick figure is looking at the computer while the weather changes outside the window. By your account, that is.

Since it sounds like that’s a source of stress or unease for you, I think you could experiment with a “month of drawing” of “month of evening bike rides” or something like that. I love problem-solving and development, so it’s easy to look for that thrill outside of work too, but you may find a different thrill that gives you more variety and you also find rewarding.

In my case, I often get away from computers by going out on photo walks. Then I get home and stare at my photos on the computer. Hehe. It’s good to have that outlet all the same.

I work from home, most days, so I was doing that while staring at the same monitor and typing on the same keyboard.

After catching myself on the way to burning out, I was advised to stop working on time and go work out or take a walk - something physical to mentally change modes.

I agree with all the advice here to get a different hobby or touch grass.

The roasters nearest to me were all out by the time I watched the announcement video, so I won’t be joining in. I think it’s a neat idea though, and I hope everybody has a great time.

Wasn’t there a story about people calling curl devs because of car issues?

For what it’s worth, I’m sure the SQLite devs could help somebody clean up their temp files. They just really shouldn’t have to.
