I've got the Blackmagic pocket. I'd say the main difference is being able to shoot raw video. It's just like butter in grading compared to 8bit video. And their colour science is good.

I think we'll have h265 10bit video in most cameras (and mobile phones) pretty soon, and that will be a marked improvement in terms of colour and dynamic range of video footage.

Some higher end Sony and Canon dSLR's shoot raw video, but I guess it's generally a niche feature, most people wouldn't want to shoot or edit raw video.
American-style pickups in general are unpopular here (in either meaning). For transporting stuff transporter/sprinter-class vehicles are far far more common as well as 3.5 ton transporters, which can have an open cargo area (or an enclosed cargo area) but look totally different from the American style pickup:

Well, I'm talking more about design than implementation.

It's good he acknowledges the point about reusing existing code. But the design still seems to be ignorant of the network effects of the web, or any existing platform. It seems completely incompatible, so I don't see why anyone would use this new platform.

A good analogy: to break the Windows monopoly, superior hardware and OS X being superior barely made a dent, if count by percentages.

What you really need is iOS, i.e. brand new functionality. That's how Apple "beat" Microsoft. Platforms are generally not "replaced" with something similar but slightly better.

(And what he's describing sounds better on some fronts but worse on others.)

> Why is that not good enough? We really so ungrateful to believe that reinventing everything is the right step now?

Just about every feature you list (apart from the distribution, got to give the web that) is stuff that we could do 20 years ago, so yes, I'm ungrateful that we've traveled so far but still gone no where, backwards in many ways.

The profit potential isn’t there. Apple probably makes more money selling dongles than they’d ever make with a camera.

Also, the Mac Pro fiasco makes me doubtful that Apple wants to be in any pro markets anymore.

I'm not going to continue repeat the arguments which have been made exhaustively about the benefits vs. draw backs of these approaches by other people. There are plenty of articles which cover this topic... all I can say is please read them.

If you still don't see any value in these tools, don't use them.

All I'll say is this:

In my experience, people tend to consider their applications to be simple enough that a simple solution is sufficient.

However, in reality, that seldom seems to be the case.

UI is hard to get right, and has a tendency to drift towards complexity over time as more features are added: I can think of several people who have picked the naive simple solution and regretted it later; to the point of rewrite in some cases.

People who picked the complicated solution sometimes regretted the extra burden of complexity, but I don't think I've ever seen this as a cause for large scale failure or rewrite.
Sounds like an iPhone with a bigger camera chip.

I don’t think Apple will venture into dedicated camera equipment. The iPhone camera is one of the big selling points and keeps people upgrading. Apple will not sacrifice their cash cow for a comparatively niche market. A dedicated device also goes against the unification that Apple seems to pursue.
It's the main feature that attracts me to Deis.

How are those challenges going? Any courts out there overruling FISC?

It's public law that created FISC(FISA @ 1978) and it's public law(Patriot Act, third party doctrine) that gave them the power to authorize the NSA's surveillance.
It's a fairly small and rapidly shrinking market - mostly because of camera phones, so this is incredibly unlikely, obviously

> My other bugbear is many cameramen appear to have forgotten what a tripod is. The camera wobbling about can occasionally at to the atmosphere but most of the time it is just annoying and distracting. Again a combination of lack of skill and production values.

With projection and home displays lagging camera technology, I'd be surprised if the opposite didn't happen. You can do a lot of shake reduction with 2x the pixels you intend to keep.

Also I think a lot of the shake these days is added in post, partly to cover for production flaws and partly to add "atmosphere" as you say.

They do (or at least, my Canon EOS 7D mark 2 does). However, leaving the GPS switched on significantly reduces battery life.
I agree with these observations. Unfortunately the people who lived all their lives in North America and Western Europe are very naive about what the communist societies really were and they are not aware that during the last 25 years their countries have evolved continuously, becoming every year more and more similar to the former communist countries. This refers not only to surveillance, censorship and loss of rights, but also to the creation of quasi-monopolies in almost every domain. Most people seem not to realize that communism was not different from capitalism, but it was the worst form of capitalism, where everything was done by a monopoly.
Maybe someone here can answer my question:

During panning shots (horizontal, vertical), in recent films the image is blurry and uncomfortable (for me). Similar panning shots in earlier films seem cripser and more "comfortable".

Is there a technical reason (shutter speed fashion) ? Or is it in my head ?
Tangentially related: I plan on buying a Sony a7s Mk2 this year. Aside from the screwmount and the battery issues, how is this camera affected by the other problems mentioned in the article (vibration, especially)? Is there anyone here who regularly shoots video with this camera?

TLDR; the author likes rust and wanted to use it. The article reads like some dev's rationalizing what they want to do to the management. These types of things are fine, but as a dev to a dev it is obvious that they just want to use this cool tech. Good for them.

> Sometimes you don't notice, and there goes your shot.

That's because you're not using the EVF, which you should be. The single most useful feature combination I find on the x100 series cameras is the EVF combined with the exposure compensation dial. This relates to the following annoyance from the article:

> No focus information in viewfinder

Any need for this is negated by a well implemented electronic viewfinder. Fuji are killing it on this aspect. An EVF will give you: exact framing, exposure, white balance, focus, and depth of field. You get none of this in a traditional optical viewfinder. It completely removes the need to "chimp" and you can concentrate on shooting photographs rather than reviewing what you just shot.

Great article, but it leaves me with one question : what's the difference between good code generating systems (the ones mentionned, that you'd use to build critical system), and the horrors that we saw back in the time with wysiwig HTML editors such as dreamweaver ( to the point where nobody today would dare to write an html website with something other than a text editor) ?

The second problem seems a lot easier to me, and yet it is where wysiwyg failed spectacularly.

Show HN: Use Your Google Calendar as a Cron Job
I get rear ended about twice a year in LA traffic by 4500 lb SUVs going 40-50 mph. I've learned to adjust the headrest on my seat properly so my head only jerks back an inch or two and I don't get whiplash anymore.

I think collisions below 40 mph are quite survivable if they're not two-way head on/overlap and the cars are below a certain weight and designed to bounce against each other.

They just need to make every autonomous car on the road 1500-2000lb and install rubber bumpers. The neural net will figure it out itself after a few million real world collisions and daily commutes will gradually become less jarring and eventful.
I would totally buy that here in Germany...

100 miles would be enough to get me to work and back the whole week, I could charge at the company and buying groceries would be fine with this size of car, too.

Totally reminds me of my smart, which was basically the same size and also this cheap. Buying an electric smart sets you back 21k € and you have to rent the battery on top (65 € per month), so it´s no real option...
Using an ND filter to get a slower shutter speed is the way to go. The more expensive cameras usually have a ND filter built in. Shooting at 24fps is possible on most modern cameras these days.

If you want to have the ability to adjust the amount of blur in post shooting at 120fps+ allows for that workflow but it’s a pain to do.

Or is it something else like a bad video codec?
They turned dumb phones into smart phones which was pretty amazing back when they launched.

True. I was referring to privately owned cars, not commercial vehicles.
From a cursory Google search: Nikon COOLPIX S800c, Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM10. So the big players are investing in Android.

This just shows how different users have different needs. I do not want my camera to be "smart", I want it to measure the amount of light that comes trough the lens, tell me if it's too much or too little, then capture and save the data on some storage. I can take it from there.

My ideal solution would be something like the failed Siliconfilm project which was a digital sensor you'd put into an analog camera 35mm film compartment.

What about people with both testes and ovaries? If those were working flawlessly, they would produce eggs and sperm. Your definition labels them female. If you're happy with that, good for you, but it seems misleading to simply label such a person "female" based on egg production.

If you'd like to exclude such people from your definition, and restrict it to people who are (for want of a better term) "stereotypical" male or female, that seems like a circular definition.

This is all fine and good. I hope their efforts are sincere. All money and support to free software is most likely good.

How much has Microsoft really changed? I have windows on my gaming PC, and every day i have to ALT+F4 a stupid message to "review my privacy settings". There is no option for full privacy so i keep ALT+F4'ing the message and block all the telemetry stuff in my openbsd firewall.

I have a powershell script called deleteapps that removes all the apps that is reinstalled everytime there is an update. It also appears to be impossible to uninstall the xbox app. Onedrive keeps turning on even if I choose that I do not want to sync during the installation, set the option in onedrive to not start at launch.

Why fight the user to this level?

Fits in pretty well with the ongoing Rust agenda here in HN
> The bodies of modern DSLRs are jampacked with every kind of knob, control, button, dial, and dongle that you can possibly think of.

That's what I actually like on the more "expensive" camera's, the ability to control everything just with single click/rotation.

I'm mostly shooting manual, on my Canon 5D I have a dial for apperture, smaller dial for shutter speed and a knob for the focus point(s). When I used Canon 500D from my friend, I couldn't use it in manual as this requires you to push one button, to then change the shutter speed with a dial (the same one that controls the apperture (or vice versa I can't remember anymore)).

But I think canon is doing it alright as the "entry" level DSLR's like 500D are meant for normal users who just want a point and click camera for most of the time, and don't need that many knobs and dials. While the professional versions have a lot of controls.

But then again, this all goes to personal preference, and most users will buy a camera that they like to use, with or without many controls. I haven't seen anyone with a 5D saying "I'm not happy with total control of my camera", but I heard more people say "Damn, I wish you could change this value much faster and not go to the touchscreen"

Apple could take their MacBook experience and make a phenomenal netbook. There's no argument that it would be the finest netbook of all time.

But that, too, would be moving in the wrong direction.
Vimperator would be nice (actually, I preferred pentadactyl, but whatever), but I'd settle for VimFX working on the new Firefox. VimFX is (just barely) good enough but Vimium seems a little worse (I think because of the APIs it has access to, not because of bad development).
There is a binary category in which you fall

In which some people fall. This definition seems to exclude many people from the definition completely. If you're happy with that, good for you; many people aren't happy with it and find this binary label system just doesn't work when applied to the world of actual people.
Depends. What can you PS4 do? Do you have to pay to make it a plex client? Chromecast to? Can you run vlc on it?
Can it transcode? Can you run an opensource game on it? Run a decent browser on it? Steam? How about the collection of Classic Atari games?

I've only have public knowledge of the Atari, but X86, cheap, and linux does open some rather interesting possibilities.

I've yet to see a media player that does it better than Roku. If the Atari could be the roku of gaming it could be quite interesting, even if it doesn't have the latest/greatest $50-$100 game that the PS4 of Xbox has.
Unfortunately we just cannot explore the counterfactual and just have to do post hoc ergo procter hoc. No matter how big the private sector investment is, there will be some Government investment as well. That is enough to question whether the private sector can even come up with shoes on it's own.

It's not camera shake creating blurry images I'm talking about, it's the cameraman 'wobbling' about so the image isn't steady. The images will still be sharp, just the camera moving about a bit.
Honestly, I don't see why they shouldn't change to 280 characters. I mean, Mastodon instances allow 500 by default, Gab.ai allows 300 by default...

And neither find it takes away from the microblogging aspect one bit. Pretty sure a lot of other Twitter alternatives allow for messages of around those sizes too.

Yes, it means doing away with a bit of tradition. But generally, my experience there is that the tiny amount of characters has hurt more than its helped. So easy to lose necessary context in that space.
> That's because you're not using the EVF, which you should be. The single most useful feature combination I find on the x100 series cameras is the EVF combined with the exposure compensation dial.

That's a fairly strange assumption to make. A performant EVF is one of Fuji's greatest innovations, and also one of its most conspicuous. Of course I'm using it.

Unfortunately, sometimes you're shooting from the hip (literally or figuratively), and not verifying every setting before you do. Sometimes, the EVF is almost unusable because you're out in bright sunlight. The existence of an EVF doesn't compensate for poor body design.
