Nice! Are you replacing or upgrading?

MostlyBlindGamer, 12 days ago

Oof, wow! Well, I hope they serve you well.

MostlyBlindGamer, 12 days ago

Good stuff. Mechanical and organic maintenance are great!

They’re a quite problematic company aren’t they?

Out of curiosity, what interesting alternatives are out there?

Yeah, I’m all about Jetbrains in Night theme. Thanks for the alt text, by the way.

The photography world has changed quite a lot since the Minolta days.

To answer your question directly, I’d recommend getting a used Sony a7 of whichever generation you like the price of.

That being said, if we dig a bit deeper, kids are some of the most challenging subjects, and family gathering some of the most challenging events: fast movement requiring fast focusing, low light requiring wide apertures, high ISO or flash.

I’d consider switching entirely to a modern system that can get you those features.

Self-documenting code, high contrast… Carry on.

Would you like a snake to replace your camel?

I decided to be wrong because the correct joke would be too convoluted. I’ll work on that implementation and then you can inject it at runtime via reflection.

Why not ‘i’?

First it needs to work, then it needs to work well, and finally it may or may not work quickly. Along the way, it should also be humorously weird.

I smell a NotImplementedException somewhere.

MostlyBlindGamer, 2 months ago

Perfect! Don’t forget to assert the same exception in all the tests.

I don’t know, at least ‘SetPerformance()’ could throw an argument out of bounds exception.

If I’m reading this correctly, they’re adding your name to your site profile, but that’s not visible and is not linked to your reviews.

That specificity makes the situation much less terrifying than the title alone would imply.

MostlyBlindGamer, 2 months ago

I’m looking at it from a perspective of intentionality. Careless? Definitely. A risk ? For sure. But the situation is still not as the title implies.

MostlyBlindGamer, 2 months ago

Risks that are already described.

The headline does it’s job getting clicks by making it sound like reviewers names may already be public.

I was thinking about how this would happen and I remembered when signing up for services using Google login, I’d always get a list of information the website would have access to, including the name listed under the Google account. When I didn’t consent to that, I went back.

Now, is there a line somewhere between strictly getting a user’s consent and the user having an expectation of privacy? Yes, and they may have landed on the wrong side of it.

Suffice it to say, this is one of the reasons I prefer to sign up with an email address.

Found the Python developer. Hehe. Thanks for the reminder that we can do this stuff: all the common layouts are just suggestions, we can’t make our lives easier by recognizing that.

Hey, you can cross-post this to rblind.com!

But the only way to make a single is to split a double. It just can’t be done.
