Can I disable apple intelligence on macOS?
Does anyone know how to turn on the flashlight without a third-party app in AA mode?
Re:Rewriting Bun in Rust on Thursday July 09, 2026 @04:13AM (#48842534)
People get attached to things they've been using for decades. Also most of the world is still written in c/c++ so any critical mass has quite a lot to go up against.

Rust isn't perfect but it solves a lot of the pitfalls of C++ (not just UB, package management, horrible cmake files, linker errors etc.)

Why is the world going in this direction? I don’t want to give my biometric data to everyone. I can’t change it if it gets breached or sold on…
And who tells Meta what to do?

Love a Cummins. The Bosch plunger pump is like a mini-me engine on the side of the block!
Right, brand new. But I think if the UK government want everyone to be using EVs they really need to help out the used market by incentivising it in some way. I can't get much other than a Nissan leaf or Renault Zoe under £10k second hand, or some massive SUV which I don't want. So then I'll buy an ICE powered car instead...

Maybe it’s the lighting, but that doesn’t look even on both sides to me - that’d bother me more than the sharpness.

i have similar on an old dell optiplex, which works really well. I've got lots of raw files in a zfs pool, but they aren't currently backed up anywhere else. any suggestions for cloud storage which works well with rsync?
What a great plot for a Black Mirror episode. Oh wait, it’s real life.

The picture showing the flow of people reminds me of Alexey Titarenko's "City of Shadows" - http://www.alexeytitarenko.com/cityofshadows - both creative long exposure photos.

if you're wondering whether gear matters you probably have enough kit. Get out there and shoot instead!

in fact it only needs 1/4 of a mile!

Re:0 To 100 kph in 1 second on Friday October 27, 2023 @08:36AM (#38037635)
unfortunately not - will see if i can dig some out. haven't been over to santa pod for a while so the pics are a bit rubbish.
Re:0 To 100 kph in 1 second on Friday October 27, 2023 @08:36AM (#38037629)
superchargers (compressed air), huge sets of staged injectors, low compression ratios, stoichiometric ratio of nitromethane to air (1.7:1 instead of ~14.7:1 like normal petrol!) - as you say, it's about how fast you can convert the liquid to an explosion.
Re:0 To 100 kph in 1 second on Friday October 27, 2023 @07:45AM (#38037270)
even if we do, I'll miss the pure noise they make!
Re:0 To 100 kph in 1 second on Friday October 27, 2023 @07:44AM (#38037264)
Not at real time - i'm a hobbyist photographer so have snapped the tyres digging into the track, but they're far too fast to see with a pair of eyes! really the only thing you can see is a blur then a parachute being deployed. the noise goes through you like nothing else though. I have metal plates in my arm due to an injury and was worried the vibration was going to undo the hardware :-D
Re:0 To 100 kph in 1 second on Friday October 27, 2023 @07:29AM (#38037164)
impressive, but as I've witnessed a top fuel dragster do 0-320mph in just over 3 seconds (meters away from me!), think I am a bit desensitised.
When I read the title I thought a bird had flown into a Eurofighter Typhoon. Probably wouldn't have made it home, even with the GPS...

Re:Log is the "Pro" in iPhone 15 Pro on Wednesday October 11, 2023 @05:54AM (#37842613)
maybe for the average consumer. but how many professional photographers do you see using an iPhone?

sensor size matters for low-light stuff too. sure, an iPhone can do a pretty good job at taking several pictures over say a 2s. exposure, but there _will_ be artifacts in the shot as there isn't physically enough light to form a legible image regardless of post-processing.

this is just one of many reasons why digital cameras are NOT at the brink of collapse yet.

Re:Log is the "Pro" in iPhone 15 Pro on Wednesday October 11, 2023 @05:50AM (#37842593)
the way i see it is it's the video equivalent of a RAW file for a still picture.
Re:How to Get into Film Photography (and Why You Should) on Tuesday September 05, 2023 @11:46AM (#37393355)
developing it yourself reduces that delay! and no photo shop staff to look at your photos.
Funnily enough, just came back from RIAT yesterday after seeing one of these pretty much hover in mid air... what a sight! amazing machines.
