Good to know--I didn't run it through my Pixel. Some devices will do a relative projection from Display P3 to sRGB, which means that it will look "relatively" like it would in Display P3 but projected onto the sRGB color space.

Edited to add: and some other ones are doing something even less fancy, which is just to ignore the color profile entirely and just assume sRGB and display it incorrectly, taking for example what would have been the maximum red point for Display-P3 and making it the maximum red point in sRGB.
Medium format, with fine film, excellent lenses, ideal lab conditions, and a drum scan, can have more detail than a Nikon D810. Any comparisons of shots taken in the wild I've seen favor the digital camera, though. Also, drum scans are /expensive/.
I think that there's good advice in this article, but a couple counter-points:

- Plenty of software developers work for small- to mid-size companies where the Node or Rails server running on your machine is nearly identical to the one running in production.

- Plenty of software developers work exclusively on the front-end, which means that the computer your code runs on in production is very very similar to the one you develop on (although then you have the added concern of testing on lower-end mobile devices, other browsers, etc)

>> Check for conflicts of this version of this library with other software currently in use (by other developers maybe, or even by the same developer).

> That's not the case when using containers properly. Every service gets it's own environment so whatever version of lib-xyz is needed, even if incompatible with other parts of the project, are walled off for only the service that needs it.

This illustrates why developers should have some experience with administering

Maybe you're misunderstanding these policies. Not only do these companies often discuss the pipeline problem publicly (and sometimes offer corporate support to address it), but as rhcom2 pointed out, it's not the only factor.

If it's not the only factor, then there's a chance diverse candidates simply aren't being reached by the typical recruiter strategy. So companies take that hypothesis and incentivize recruiters to diversify their search. Only time will tell if that hypothesis is correct, and this is the only point in the system where race/gender are under consideration. It has no impact on those that apply to FB through a college career fair, or through facebook.com/careers.
I am in Norway, and the last domestic lab doing E6 quit doing so late last year.

I have since had a few -34, methinks- sheets processed by an outfit in the UK which came highly recommended - The Darkroom (www.the-darkroom.co.uk)

34 sheets in three batches are not much to go on, but so far I am most satisfied - reasonable pricing (YMMV not being Norwegian and used to price gouging in the first place!), most accommodating with regards to special instructions, top-notch work, proper packaging, OK turnaround time.

My main concern is that some postal worker will X-ray the sheets to oblivion - even as the sheets are in film envelopes labeled as such and lined with lead; however, such are the worries of international postage.

My B&W stuff I mostly do on the kitchen bench - the dark stuff inside a film changing bag, the wet stuff in the ubiquitous Paterson tanks (With steel reels, thank you very much.)

I have a very similar story as a background. To add to what you said: while maintaining and debugging software installs, I learned a lot about how and when things break. Especially, how important it is to keep things simple. This turned out to be invaluable when I began working as a software developer after graduating.

This comment explains it (at least for Webkit's test image, which is probably similar to Instagram's).

No, it is a bad test.
It is an image with an ICC tag that indicates it uses a color space larger than sRGB. The image data has the logo using color that should be outside the sRGB color space, but it still uses 8 or 16 bits to store that data.
Android doesn't have color management. Android basically assumes all images are sRGB, so you see the logo.
iOS does have color management. iOS sees the ICC profile and interprets the image data so that if you do not have a display that could show you the different reds in the image, it doesn't display them.
So we have everyone in this thread on Android thinking they have a wide color display. Most of their displays aren't even 100% sRGB. My Nexus 4 shows the logo. It is very much not a wide-color display.

Well, since Atlassian is in the mood of acquiring, I have made an analytics and data processing system that plugs into JIRA to create custom reports in ways that are not possible currently by JIRA.

It also integrates externally to JIRA regardless of whether it's a cloud or on-premise version.

We have been using it internally successfully since a few months, first in my team and then in others in our company.

Would you guys be interested at Atlassian?

To a degree. Certainly the end-to-end tests should be something you can expect to reuse. Other tests may be hit or miss. In the case of SQLite, where there's >100x as much test code as application code, there's a large range between "can use some of it" and "can use most of it" - as mathw gets at I think we should be able to expect the latter here.

That link provides no information about why at all.
You rarely have `interface{}`, you usually have concrete interfaces. These have the same amount of type safety at compile time for function inputs, there's just an additional runtime cost, which the Go folks are willing to pay.

The fact that interface code often has runtime failures is usually due to a feature Go interfaces get you that many languages with generics don't have in the first place -- the ability to downcast to concrete types.

Now, interfaces sadly do not have the same amount of type safety at compile time for defining new containers and you can't do things like return value polymorphism as well, but it's not that bad.

It requires a different style of programming (the post from rsc linked in the sibling comment is particularly good at illustrating this), but it's not that bad.

I say this as a Rust programmer (also a Go programmer, but primarily a Rust programmer) who absolutely loves generics.

> separate problem

Nope. When doing business, the only thing that counts is formal, verifiable spec. Crying "You have cheated since I wanted somehing else" should be irrelevant in any country that honors rule of law.

> specifically designing their cars to cheat on the existing test.

Test is a predicate. It can pass or fail, but you can't cheat it.

> actively circumvent the purpose of the test

Hmm, that's probably closest to something I can accept as an argument. Nice. But to circumvent the purpose requires an actual purpose. If the purpose is formal, it's the test itself. And if it's not formal, then it's IMO impossible or very hard to prove that it has been circumvented.
I used the same approach as the Webkit image, so the same applies here, too (it's also why we only serve Display P3 photos to iOS clients with wide color screens, most Android devices would treat them incorrectly)
Because when one curates something for a specific purpose, it is sub optimal to use it contrary that purpose. In this case, dogs have specifically been domesticated to be companions for humans for something like 15,000 years. Humans specifically selected for specific behaviors and traits for dogs for them to be more compatible with humans. In the United States, dogs are used almost exclusively as pets and helper animals.

Pigs have never been domesticated in that way in large numbers and have always generally been used as food, or for limited other purposes, occasionally as pets.

I think this difference in lineage and purpose leads to a very meaningful distinction.

SourceTree is the only software that they make that doesn't suck.

If you compare SourceTree to other halfway modern git clients (like Tower or GitX-dev), oh boy does it suck! The layout is completely disorganized, the diffing is super lousy. It's slow. It sucks up lots of memory. It's literally the last GUI client I'd use before just going to the command line.

As a 'millennial' hobby photographer that enjoys working with film cameras this is great news! However I find some of these comments disheartening.

There is a lot of discussion of the merits of film versus digital capture which really isn't the point or why someone would necessarily choose to shoot film today. Much like how a better camera doesn't automatically take better photos the same goes with the film vs digital debate. A camera, and film/digital sensor, is a tool that is used accomplish an ends (capturing an image). One tool might be easier to use or have more control or some other quality of preference. Similarly, a given film might subjectively have a preferred color palette or a sensor have more flexibility. I shoot film because it requires me to slow down and think about each shot; I can't fallback on "guess and check" for exposure or composition.

Another thing to note is that much of the film market (both pro and consumer) have stabilized in recent years. Kodak (also Kodak Alaris) and the other manufacturers have adapted to be able to meet the lower demand of a niche market. A great example of this is Ilford.

Anyway, I am just excited to have an excuse to shoot some slides this year!

I've been thinking about this recently.

In a society, people seem to taboo things which indicate a general lack of emotion toward other members of the society. With farm animals, there are social (and religious and legal!) rules around maintenance and slaughter, and farmers deal with large groups of animals, so the relationship between farmer and animal is one-to-many and doesn't leave much room for long term emotional bonds to form.

For working animals and pets, the bond is one-to-one, and involves working directly with the animal in question. The relationship with a working animal is much closer to the relationship with another human. Thus, killing a dog in a society where the role of a dog is to herd cattle makes you seem dangerous to the people around you, while killing a cow in a society where cows are food is explicitly sanctioned and not an indication that you might murder your co-workers.

"In theory, cd has far more dynamic range than vinyl. In practice, it has great deal less! This is a result of modern "loudness war" mastering. Most modern albums have less than 6db of actual dynamic range. Listen to something with more range than that, and it sounds flat and lifeless. Vinyl is usually mastered with significantly more dynamic range, but sounds more open and breathy - the way more dynamic range should sound."

Garbage in, garbage out. What you're really saying is that good masters beat bad masters - nothing to do with vinyl at all. In the context of the larger discussion, this is disingenuous; the return of vinyl means that the new stuff will have the same "loudness war" problems that the digital stuff has. Unless you're claiming that artists are saving a super-duper special master just for their vinyl customers.

In a larger sense, this comment exemplifies the fallacy of gray[1]. Just because neither of them are perfectly accurate doesn't mean that CDs aren't more accurate.

"As far as Jira -- the tool itself isn't bad per se, but the way PMs turn it into their own little power-trip kingdom irritates me."

Yeah, this is a pretty common sentiment. Jira is not a great tool, but the things devs really resent is being micromanaged and tracked in such a way that they are turned into a commodity. At the end of the day, if that really bothers you, there are plenty of ways to work free of this feeling- find a company that fits you better or a better manager within your company or strike out on your own. A better ticketing system wont make you happy.

If you are including the Soviet Union in this category, you are rejecting the very Marxist terminology that you appeared to be using, since the whole point of the Soviet Union was that the workers would own the means of production. Yes, I know it failed spectacularly; that was my point.

Types like Object and Comparable<T> allow heterogeneous collections and algorithms, which are occasionally useful even in an otherwise statically-typed language. Think of it as a set of types where otherwise you would have required boxing everything within a single type and eventually reimplementing the type system.

If Java had generics from day one, they could have put methods like equals and hashCode in interfaces that some classes don't implement, instead of passing static type checks and then blowing up at runtime because you did something that never made sense.
