I’ll generally remove posts without questions if someone reports them, but if they aren’t bothering anyone enough to report it and I don’t notice that they’re in this community, then IMO, they’re not doing much harm.
But if and when the community gets bigger, signal to noise ratio becomes a lot more important when it’s harder to keep up with everything. But we can cross that bridge if and when we get to it IMO
Government drones aren’t real!
The r50 can do electronic shutter or second curtain shutter, but it doesn’t have a global shutter or full mechanical shutter.
So, some ELI5 background on camera sensors. Most sensors read the data from the sensor pixel by pixel, line by line. So what that means is that a small amount of time passes between reading the top lines of the sensor and the bottom lines of the sensor. Most of the time, this doesn’t make much difference. But for fast moving objects (or if you’re panning the camera really fast) it means that the scene can change during that passage of time, which is what gives you trains that lean to one side and propellers that look like they’re made of rubber.
To get around that, you can use a physical shutter. Cameras with “second curtain” shutters physically close off the light to the sensor before they start reading data from the sensor. This means that even though time passes between reading the top and the bottom of the line, the light captured by the sensor does not change during that time, and so the wobbly subjects don’t happen.
A camera with a full mechanical shutter puts a physical shutter at the beginning of the process and the end, but the gains over second curtain only are negligible.
In theory, there is also “global shutter” which is a camera that reads the entire sensor at once, but in practice, this technology doesn’t exist at the consumer mirrorless camera level.
Electronic shutters aren’t all bad though, because they let you do faster shutter speeds than are possible with physical elements, and they let you do higher fps when shooting in burst mode. And electronic shutters are also silent
This is a screenshot of the activity in this community. It looks ok to me…
The way I see it is the rules exist to improve the experience of the community. They set guidelines to help us achieve that. The rules aren’t the final source of truth though, the quality of the community is.
So, if you see something that breaks the rules and is pulling the community down in doing so, use the report function, and highlight it.
If it’s breaking a rule, but not harming the community, then just let it fly.
I have no interest in enforcing rules for the sake of rules. I see them more as guidelines for fostering a better community, and that’s the lens through which I moderate.
Yay! 4.8 supports my camera! I can finally stop running darktable nightlies
Not many. I don’t like the fructosey sweet flavour of most fruit. So I love tomatoes, but not much else…
Maybe this thread will help me :)
I used Dreaming Spanish, which uses natural comprehension and teaches entirely in Spanish, with no translation. It’s not as fast as some alternatives, but it matches my learning style, and has given me a neutral accent when I speak
Digikam. It supports grouping (or stacking as it’s called in Lightroom) by filename, so you can auto group RAW and JPG. It has hot keys for flagging rejects/approvals during initial inspections and review, so you can just fly through them.
Photoprism is not suitable as part of a post editing workflow. It’s a gallery for displaying and searching your photos after they’ve been sorted and edited.
I scored the highest tertiary entrance rank in my school without studying a day in my life and had my pick of any university course or career. I went to university, and excelled at exams, but because I had undiagnosed ADHD and had never learned time management, I couldn’t cope with assignments that couldn’t be thrown together at the last minute in my lunch break. I was academically excluded.
So there was that. Basically, my life has continued to look like some variation of that experience since then :P
I’m just here for the Shadowrun screenshot in the video…
It’s made me aware of how much I appreciate reliable consistent pronunciation in Spanish (at least compared to English). And it’s given me a huge amount of sympathy for people who are learning English and trying to speak to native English speakers :)
But I wouldn’t say it’s shown me how broken English is. I mean, I think it’s more broken than Spanish, but that could just be a comment on how much I still have to learn about Spanish :P
There’s a few “Your question here” questions…
The calculation doesn’t account for the leap year
No poll. But I’m a trans athlete that has been active in trans communities for nearly a decade.
I have no numbers, but I think it’s safe to say I’d be aware if most of my own community was against my participation.
Most of the trans community agrees with this assessment. I
No they don’t…
I’d rather submit my records to a sports oversight board than be excluded from competing.
You say “trans people shouldn’t have to disclose their medical history to stay employed”, but you’re seemingly happy to speak for trans folk and just accept that they should be unemployed.
The real irony being that anyone in elite sports, trans or not, already has to submit to the lab work you’re uncomfortable with, as a condition of their employment.
The scenario you’re trying to avoid? That’s why the lab work already happens, because many cis athletes take performance enhancing drugs to gain advantage, because they’re incentivised to in a capitalist society.
But somehow, that lab work is only an issue that you feel the need to speak up on when it’s for trans folk?
Trans people get the lab work you’re talking about done regularly anyway, because it’s part of ensuring their levels are safe and correct.
You’re voting for exclusion (trans competitions will never happen) because you’re uncomfortable with trans people having to do something that is already part of their daily lives
Yep!
