While true, quantity of poop particles also matters.
Your body can fight off loads of bacteria. But once it gets to an infection point, it can't keep up and you become ill.

So yeh, poop is everywhere. As long as it's small amounts, it's fine.

Imagine the debuff that blueballs would inflict because you missed the quicktime event

There is no good answer to it.

It is ridiculous that a channel which uploads thousands of authentic original content can lose all algorithm momentum from a frivolous DMCA strike removing their video for 10 days.
It basically guarantees a video gets killed. Even if the video gets reinstated after an appeal.

This particular video will massively bounce back. People are angry at Nvidia, people are angry with YouTube and with YouTubes DMCA process, and now people are angry at Bloomberg.
And Gamers Nexus isn't gonna let this drop, and GN has earned its communities trust (and I think trust in general) that there will be flocks of people ensuring the video doesn't die.

But if this was a smaller channel releasing a massive expose like this, it would probably just drop out off the public's radar before it gets established

Nah.
Trump thinks he is the saviour of america, and that he is the friend of the constitution.

The constitution doesn't think this.
Pretty sure a number of his executive orders will be (or have been?) ruled unconstitutional and overturned - which is makes it easier to counter future bullshit, but anyone currently sprayed by the fan of the us government slinging shit will still have had their lives ruined.

Have you considered a doctorate?

[-] towerful@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago

You are probably underestimating your abilities.
People that worry about overestimating their skills mostly underestimate their skills.

If someone says they are "good" at something, I take it to mean competency and some enthusiasm.
They might make a mistake, but they won't (or at least will rarely) make it twice.
They know how to find the solution to something within that domain of knowledge. It might not be the best solution, but it will be a solution that works.
They are also aware of what they don't know in within the domain. So, they can do C++ but know they can't do embedded programming. Or they can do C#, but know they can't do game dev.

And I would take them at their word for that, until they prove otherwise.
If they are below where they claim their skill is, I would try to help them learn (unless they show no interest in improving).
If they are above where they claim, I would tell them this.

It's always hard to judge our own skills.

You'd need a service contract with a battery supplier.
No fuel station would risk a competitor driving in with their old batteries and swapping them with good batteries.
So you would likely be locked in with a fuel station brand.
As a consumer, you also risk picking up a dud.
Fuel stations would also need to be considered in insurance claims, as they would own the battery.

It's a great idea, however. I'd rather see more public transport and less cars. But electric cars, easier "refueling" of electric cars, and more solar/wind/hydro/nuclear power is a good hold over

Alcoholics, probably

Yeh, seems like the CVEs were against an alpha branch.
So, perhaps its a good reminder not to use alpha in production... But I feel it warranted a bug report instead of a "Common Vulnerabilities and Exploits" notice, normally something used to notify potentially production deployed systems of an issue.

That would be like Pepsi issuing a product recall to all retail outlers for a product that has only been tested internally (kinda)

Yes, lets trust the label that a scammer put on a package, seeing as they have been so trustworthy so far!

Comparing the quality of music videos and recordings of various shows posted on YouTube by TV channels, I do not find any difference.

Maybe for you, but I generally can.

Bigger cameras have bigger sensors. This means they can process more light, amcan get more detail, and have less noise.
The gaps between large triple ccds and smaller single ccds has certainly shrunk. But if a professional has to get the best possible result in all sorts of environments while not wasting time/money, buying a proper camera that isn't going to need as much post processing, or as many lights (especially with multiple subjects) is going to be a huge timesaver.
Kinda like photographers with a DSLR Vs an iPhone. The difference has become less, but a DSLR is going to kick an iPhones ass every time.

Next up is the lenses.
If you have a small lens with a defect, more of the picture is going to travel through that defect.
If you have a large lens with a defect, a smaller amount of the picture is going to travel through that defect.
Also, lenses generally have more abberations towards the outside of the lense (like barrelling or chromatic aberration). If you can only process light from the middle of the lens, the picture is going to be so much better.
So you make big lenses, and only use the but in the middle of them.

Finally it's things like other features.
From encoding format, framerate & resolution, outputs (clean feeds, native sdi or SMPTE fibre, remote CCUs, return feeds, coms), genlock and timecode syncs. Even to things how the viewfinders, zoom and focus controls work.

And by the time you are making a $100k camera with $250k lenses, it's kinda a thing that works for sports, film, TV, whatever. There is a lot of overlap of features, and nobody wants to buy the same lens for 2 different cameras because the cameras are slightly different.
