CarVac

I saw this in Secaucus where it was in a pretty cool location. Then it moved to the town where I lived at the time and I wondered how much less interesting it would be in a flat field next to the public works department.

My opinion on column stagger ergo keyboards: everyone's hands differ, and there is no one-size-fits-all.

The amount of pinky stagger and the thumb cluster position are critically important for comfort.

Personally I use a handwired Mitosis (the original Mitosis was unreliable for me but the layout perfect).

Ergodox is awful for me, particularly the reaching needed to use the thumb cluster.

The only actual benefit I find it has over a well-maintained sharp chef knife is the non-stick aspect, which looks really nice but not $300 nice IMO.

Most people don't sharpen their knives enough and therefore they have to expend a lot of effort to sharpen them.

If your knife is only slightly dull it takes 10 seconds to resharpen it, unlike if you've gotten the edge all folded over and such.

If you read the source material, it's designed to fly from a minimally prepared airstrip.

Turbines have lots of wing twist and far thicker roots than is desirable for planes.

And how do you fly it back?

Doing some pixel counting suggests a nacelle diameter of approximately 152 inches, which is close to the 155 inches of the A350's Trent XWB or the smaller of the various 777 engines (in particular, not the largest GE90).

Actually when I go back to the 1Ds3 from my 1Dx2 the only thing I miss is the front buttons near the lens mount, which I use for playback and magnification.

I would love to add it to my 1Ds3. I recall reading that once upon a time Canon wrote ML devs a strongly worded letter telling them not to touch a 1D, but a camera that old is long obsolete.

(I literally only want a raw histogram)

(I also have a 1Dx2 but that's probably a harder port)

I've always wanted to be a mixotroph.

Agreed, we'll have to see if they're even remotely close to their claims.

The crumple zone is 20", same as a normal car. What there isn't is anything else aside from the crumple zone, enabling it to be so short.

This is a truck that appeals to car buyers because it's not sacrificing a compact body or efficiency, while providing immense utility and off-roading.

It has ten inches of ground clearance.

You'd pay for a useless hood?

It's twice the capabilities of the Slate though.

40k gets 240 mile range.

The round G strongly resembles the Google logo.

Unfortunately, if the phone camera images are processed without oversharpening, the results are extremely soft.

Also, the wide lenses on most phones are actually very heavily distorted nearly to the point of being fisheye, and made rectilinear with processing.

Filmulator (I really need to fix the CI...)

Smash is a great spectator esport but... Nintendo hates the scene.

The translucent blur is... alright. The refracting edges look incredibly distracting for me.

MIT lets you take away user freedom.

I wrote a raw processing app Filmulator that simulates stand development/compensating developers to give such an effect to digital photography.

I still use it myself but I need to redo the build system and release it with an updated LibRaw... not looking forward to that.

HDR on displays is actually largely uncomfortable for me. They should reserve the brightest HDR whites for things like the sun itself and caustics, not white walls in indoor photos.

As for tone mapping, I think the examples they show tend way too much towards flat low-local-contrast for my tastes.

That what makes it not bad, not what makes it good.

My dad has an IMSAI 8080 which is a neat piece of hardware. It still works, though a few LEDs failed.

Unfortunately for him, in university one of his professors advised him not to go into computers for a career...

ShopRite has tablets around the store you can enable digital coupons from.

Ah, those are just wider-gamut conventional projectors.

Scanning displays like a laser projector or a CRT will flash any individual spot but the illumination is almost continuous, so people have less issues with them.

It works on an old Haswell system I have that'll slowly be upgraded. I rushed to buy the gpu early though since I could get it at msrp.
