Great that it works for you. I gave my daughter my old Canon 70D and she needed a way to process pictures. She only has an iPad and I didn’t push her to adobe ^^. She produces great results with Photomator.

I need to do the jump myself to something better. The last update of Lightroom classic runs so damn slow on my Mac mini (M4). Was super annoyed yesterday while working on some pictures.

Stacked you mean each node works on the input from another nodes output? So I could add a node to make green blue and another node to make blue green again? Because Lightroom mask only work on the base adjustment. Sounds good if I got this right. I wanted to play around with it anyways.

Lightroom maps support color range and luminance range. Can you explain what the difference is?

I think non native speakers may not have a good feeling how charged a word or phrase is.

In their defense you only spoke about dropping your raw workflow for something simpler not that you looked for a special HDR RAW support.

I know it’s Apple and may not what you look for but does Photomator tick these boxes?

Sorry the article is paywalled and I reacted to the comment about sanded surfaces. I remember seeing documentation or other nature documentation’s about the shark skin effect. I had the chance to touch a shark and a ray in an aquarium but never felt the shark skin foil. I assume the properties would be the same though.

I thought that shark skin foil was a thing for years. Where they tried to emulate the micro roughness of shark skin.

Most sandbox systems today, take seatbelt from Apple for instance, only strip permissions. If your extensions without internet access calls a tool that needs it, boom access denied or worse, weird network issues.

One would need some kind of ring system where less privileged processes can call higher privileged processes with their own sandbox permissions.

But for the shuttle each title was kinda unique and had a specific spot. If they managed to find a shape where you don’t have to mark each tile but can just pull them from a box for replacement is a huge win. Maybe even have some spares and allow them to be replaced during an EVA. This was all not really feasible with the Spaceshuttle.

I ran quite early into the same issues with my rust pet projects. Single structs with tons of Option and validation methods etc. enums for type fields combined with says optional fields in the same layer so accessor methods all return Option.

I add now a long list of instructions how to work with the type system and some do’s and don’ts. I don’t see myself as a vibe coder. I actually read the damn code and instruct the ai to get to my level of taste.

> there is no security benefit to filtering out unneeded url parameters.

What about passing extra data to fill the server memory with either extra known junk or a script / executable to use with a zero day in an internal component or something.

To misuse the nightclub analogy: it’s like checking for bags not being larger than A4 and disallow knives and other weapons.

Interesting. Sadly my super biased personal issue with any tool that needs nodeJS and its infrastructure is an immediate downer. Last tools like openspec and oh-my-codex etc I tried via a nix shell. Will take a look.

Yes quality. I forgot the Chinese manufacturer that resells their bricks to pantasia or moldking. But the quality especially for metal or translucent bricks is on par and in a lot of cases better than the Lego offerings. And calling Lego a toy company is a stretch. Their main demographic is 30-50 year olds with disposable income.

Just want to mention I have no beef or issue with Lego. I say that you get great offerings from other brands as well now.

I also swing a bit back and forth with the assumption the OP makes in the blogpost. My current fear using agents is not really supply chain attacks (yes of course as well) but the fact that I witnessed multiple times that agents are so eager to finish a task that they bend files and other things around. Like “oh I have no access to ~/.npmrc let’s call the command with an environment variable and bend the path around etc. They can get very very creative. I luckily have no ssh keys just laying around. But I had to change the setting of 1Password to always prompt for key use not just once per shell session. Just in case I spawn an agent from said session. I wished we already had more and better cross platform sandbox solutions. I mean solutions where the agent still interacts with the same OS etc not inside a docker container. I think for most web / server development that makes no difference but for some projects it does.

Explains why LEGO had a leg up for multiple years. You can’t just change the color pigments and hope the parts fit in the same way. Of course these times are over and other brick manufacturers caught up or overtook Lego.

Other GitHub metadata goes into the .github folder as well. And that is expected to be commuted. Like action workflows/actions and CodeOwners Pull and issue templates etc.

Zed is my daily driver for the last couple of month. I tried it a few times before but had to switch to various other editors for different projects. But my plan was to finally ditch VSCode as my normal file editor. I really love how fast the editor fires up. I also love the fact that it has great vim binding not just in the editor pane.

There is Apple enterprise for this reason. Depending on the set of APIs you want to use (which should be limited since you spoke of webapps), it allows you to distribute internal business apps.

Don’t know how known this is. But we use it mainly for internal testing.

Yeah. Unless they plan to move more local git operations in the tool and blur the line between git and gh.
