Perfect framing!

Arguing that field curvature in a camera lens is actually a good thing because spheres are nature's ideal shape.

In New York, once the center of the pandemic in the U.S., the annual Macy Inc.’s fireworks show was taking place as five-minute displays throughout the week in unannounced locations to prevent viewers from congregating.

Guerrilla freedom!

@lain @rin do you think it would be better to create a "capabilities" property for actor, and then shove everything inside that?

Thinking about that time the collapse of Athens was brought about by somebody breaking the wieners off all the statues.

The real problem in Gettysburg is they're sending in flag desecrators from out of state.

Fortunately antifa will be out in the suburbs, so it should be a good day to walk around the city. Gonna be a hot one though, need to pick up some iced coffee.

Freedom time.

Today's featured boat is the chemical pioneer.

Saving money and weight by putting an aps-c lens on my full frame camera. Works quite well actually, with just a bit of crop to cut the corners. Don't fall for the lies of Big Lens!

Peak 2020 headline: vanilla ice cancelled

Classic cars are the best.

Possibly not true fun fact. The difference between weather and climate is that climate is monotonically increasing.

Important to remember that orange and teal isn't red and green. That doesn't work as well.

Master the orange and teal cinematic look by framing your shots properly.

Somebody flipped it.

I joked, but of course there's already a video for street photography at 600mm.

After eight years, finally had to replace a CFL bulb. 2020 really is the year everything falls apart.

Social distancing fail.

Exploring the 400mm prime's untapped potential for street photography.

Whenever I see "adult human female" I get serious "fellow kids" vibes. I think it's the word human. Or maybe the word adult. Possibly both. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

I'm a few days late posting this. I apologize for the unjustified delay.

Watching old (90s) movies and the minute frame to frame flicker from the film alignment changing has suddenly become annoying. Used to perfectly stable images now. Seems easily correctable, just requires the film scanner to care.

Halfway through a blog post and I'm thinking, how is it possible that this painfully verbose awful strawman writing style is so popular?

Then I look back and the two other examples I was thinking of both came from the same blog.

oof...

New #honk: 0.9.1 Late Stage Lusciousness

changes

• Main new feature is preliminary chat interop with pleroma.
• Custom flag emoji.
• Mostly other small fixes.

Searching various forums for "the real racists" turns up some total gems.

Strontium Ferrite would replace Barium Ferrite in current LTO cartridges. Strontium sits on a row above Barium in the periodic table, indicating a much smaller atom.

New rule: if you claim that 12x 128GB ECC DIMMs cost less than $5000, that should constitute a sales offer. I send you the money, now you have to send me the RAM.

Just saw a container of "5 Layer Dip" at the store, and thought it said "Slayer Dip"

"Wow, that's pretty metal," I blurted out loud.

Remember when the president signed an executive order trying to rescind section 230 and all the tech companies were like, oh yeah, this is fine? Good times.

Asked a cop what he thought of the subreddit bans, and he said if you follow the rules you won't get shot.

The process by which the verge decides which articles get comment sections and which don't is indecipherable.

"Why hasn't Twitch banned the people who were looting Target?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to need the full name and address of everyone they've doxxed in order to believe they doxxed anyone."

Not sure who lost this, but I feel like they're going to miss it.

Pitching a new business idea to the big brains at YC: move all github is down posts to HN Premium and charge $10/month for a subscription.

Fake news alert: This guardian article claims quibi tweeted "see guys, we have a good show" but the real tweet reads "ˢᵉᵉ ᵍᵘʸˢ ʷᵉ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵃ ᵍᵒᵒᵈ ˢʰᵒʷ".

I spent longer reading quibi's obituary than I ever spent thinking about quibi itself.

What if the true purpose of the GDPR is really just to keep Europeans safe from local US news?

A lot of ongoing series suffer from scope creep. All the heroes level up, there's a new big bad, new unexplored territory opens up over yonder.

The Wire stands out as doing a good job maintaining its setting. Each season has a different perspective and narrative, but it doesn't go crazy. McNulty doesn't level up to the FBI in season 3, then prevent a terrorist strike on the white house in season 4. Characters fade from view; there's not a compulsive tracking of everyone that was ever featured.

In today's metaphorical reflection, we consider blog posts as photographs. It's the rare post which benefits from having the contrast slider cranked all the way to the right. Applying the "anyone who disagrees is a fucking idiot" filter certainly catches the eye of anyone scrolling by, but it's unlikely to find a place in any curated gallery.

My review of the expanse season 4: we seem to have left our small crew just trying to make their way in a big solar system origin story far, far behind.

Imagine loving Facebook so much you're going to boycott every brand that doesn't advertise there. I need to add advertising to honk so I can get on that level of engagement.
