It's not that easy. It's not always that you scroll gradually to the bottom of the page. If you click the scrollbar to the bottom, then the middle images shouldn't load. The same if you use hash navigation to the bottom.

If you refresh the page at the bottom, it will stay at the bottom, so no need to load top images.

That is a great initiative! I just installed the app and contributed some tweaks in my area.

Also, I couldn't find any info on this matter: some quests ask you what number a house is. Wouldn't people find it strange that a random person is standing in front of your house and looking at the number and then types on their smartphone?

AFAIK house numbers are not private info, but still...

I'm mostly Frontend developer recently so I haven't been much up to date with Backend technologies. If I need a CMS for my frontend, what technology(-ies) can I use?

That's what I thought, and indeed, the full res is useful when you want to post crop and to print them out.

Ok, just looked at these images: https://daringfireball.net/2019/09/the_iphone_11_and_iphones... in full res and indeed, they are very blurry and the detail loss is still there:

look at the hairs of the dog: https://daringfireball.net/misc/2019/09/iphones-11-review/mo... They are all blurry

Is it possible to shoot RAW with iPhone?

The pictures do look good, the colors are nice and the small image on the page is nice. But I haven't seen any 100% crops or full images. it's there that you'll see that the image is worse than a DSLR or another camera with a big lens and sensor.

I can get nice pictures (= vibrant and nice colors) with any camera, what I can't get is a sharp image, with sharp edges.

I went to a trip with my Android Phone and DSLR, and my GF has an iPhone 6.

We took pictures with all 3 devices. When I looked at jpg photos from Android phone on my PC, they had all "perfect" (=vibrant and catchy) colors, but when you zoom in, it's all a blurry mess with no detail. The iPhone was nice and sharp (at least much sharper than the android pics). The DSLR was of course the sharpest one.

Now on the android phone, I have a "pro" settings that captures RAW image. And it's incredibly sharp, the colors are bland of course, but the data is there and we can add/process the colors in post. But why is the image so much worse when using JPG.

My idea it that normal jpg has HDR enabled and is being processed too much, thus losing a lot of detail. You don't get that loss when capturing RAW.

What I'm afraid is that the new iPhone dark mode (or even the P30 Pro and other phones with post processing) will also process the images too much and stack them thus losing a lot of detail. When put on instagram or made smaller for Facebook/websites, you won't see the missing details, but the colors will be vibrant and that's "good enough" for most people.

When I take a picture I rather have the real RAW data in the picture instead of processed jpg that I can't control. What do you guys think about the automatic post processing done by your device, that when done incorrectly, you'll lose a perfect picture because the implementation just lost you a lot of detail...

I guess the post processing trend is there because you just can't make a good lens and sensor that small and still have nice results. The phone makers are just trying to fix this with post processing...

I'm from Belgium, and every time time I can I go to Germany to drive on the Autobahn. If you say there are a lot of assholes in Germany, try and drive in Belgium, nobody can drive here and everybody drives on the left and doesn't have a general idea of driver around you. For example:

When I drive in Germany on the left lane, and there are 2 lanes blocked by trucks, and another car wants to pass them on the left lane, they will see me and wait (or even break). They know I can't break that fast and will create an accident.

In Belgium, you can drive on the left lane, and somebody merges into the left lane 10 m before you and keep going 90kmh on the left lane creating a traffic jam and unnecessary breaking.

This is what I like about german drivers, they see their environment and know their (and other drivers) location in the traffic.

Also, move to the right rule, it looks like 90% of the people follow it perfectly, in Belgium everybody drives on the second lane.

Spain is the second best country I've driven in. Croatia is also fine.

We built a few small web games with phaser. It was very easy to start and also easy to finish. You can prototype with it very quickly and there are a lot of resources explaining things to you. Recommend.

I don't know about changes in the last 2 years, haven't used it since then, maybe it's changed for worse but can't imagine

This is pretty neat! Although, if I did it in my company, I would be packing my things very fast.

Yeah, the most important fact for the humanity that they did it, they created the first image of a black hole, is it a man, a woman, a child, a muslim, a white man, what does it even matter?

I kinda hate the recent trend to focus more on gender or race if somebody achieves anything. Look what Morgan Freeman said about racism [0]. Is it really important that she is a woman? Do people think a lot of women can't achieve these things? And if 1 woman achieved this, all women are better than men? Do everybody just expect men to be smarter and if they do something outstanding it's ok, but when a woman does it, it's extraordinary... Why focus so much on this?

In discussions like this we should really focus on the person (and also the team behind her/him, I doubt she could do it alone without the team), not the gender or race or whatever.

I really hope this positive discrimination hype dies out, it doesn't help anybody. Let the best person for the job get the job.

I have this backpack:

https://www.amazon.com/North-Face-Laptop-Backpack-Colors/dp/...

I use it mostly when going on a weekend trip or a week trip for work. Is big enough, has a lot of compartments, space for a laptop/gadgets.

Sturdy enough, laptop is safe there, but don't expect it to keep your DSLR camera safe ;) As the biggest compartment is meant for clothes, not for electronics

I see they discontinued it, I couldn't find it on official website (they changed the design, can't tell you if it's still the same quality)

Ha!

Red Bull did one too, it sounds a bit better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZIUGreqrCY

The amount of functionality does not compare to other table/grid frameworks. This library is not "just a JS plugin for tables", it can do a lot of things. If you try to rewrite it yourself you'll need a lot of man-days to do that.

On the other note:

What if you fork that repo and change something small, can you use it for commercial purposes? Or is it stated that any modification MUST use the same license, and you must pay the original creators?

Hah, I saw another situation in London.

One person dropped his phone in the tube, due a large amount of people wanting to get out, he could save his $1000 smartphone because he cought the cords of the earphones.

Everything has it's own advantages and disadvantages

I think (thought) also like you, just use the latest es6 code to do everything. The workflow is very fast, I can write my app 20%-50% faster than es5. I develop mostly on Chrome. My application/website works.

Then we test the website on different browsers (we all work with OSX), FireFox works (of course), Opera works (is Chromium), Safari, naah, it's the new IE. We do some minor fixes for Safari.

When we send it to the client, nothing works, of course the client uses IE so we need to rewrite a lot of stuff to make it work for "most" people. (I live in Belgium, there are "a lot of" IE users still. And even if IE is not widely used, our clients always use IE :( )

But wait, why rewrite our application, this can be fully automated! We run our code through babel/webpack. It automagically works everywhere!

Now I understand there is some performance penalty by using transpilers, but using them leaves our code mostly bugfree on all browsers and the client is happy.

The big problem with those fancy new features is browsersupport. If every browser followed specs correctly, we wouldn't need these tools. They make the job of the developer easy, the bosses wallet full and the client happy.

1: I think they don't put that thin cable on the seafloor, they are bunched together, in a much bigger cable with a lot of stuff around it [0] to protect it.

About the patching, they say that in the article: they sometimes cut the cable (in case of a bad weather) and attach it to a buoy. So they can "patch it" ;)

I too was wondering how to "replace" my MacBook Pro, (I have one from work, but I want one machine to do my work on it). I've gone with Microsoft Surface Book 2 (13 inch) and I must say, if you can live with Windows, this is a good alternative:

The touchpad is nice (except from right clicking with 2 fingers, but I think you can change it with software), the hardware is beautifully made, battery lasts 12 hours (maybe around 8-10 with normal usage) and you get in a windows tablet too.

My only problem was the pricetag, 2.6k is kinda a lot, for the specs that aren't the best you can get, but it's good for development work, I can also play some games on it and use photo editing tools.

This was the only windows laptop that I really liked, (my previous was a thinkpad from 8 years ago).

You can find it here: https://github.com/ioulian/bulma-layout-builder

I've refactored the application, I plan to add the full class list there and components.

As far as I've seen, these tools are indeed useful. But you are right about the lock-in. I think this is perfect for non-developers (of small budgets), allows them to create a "basic" website, but sometimes you just require another framework.

Yes: https://github.com/ioulian

I'm planning to put this app on github once I refactor JS. I hope I'll finish it in the next few weeks. (don't wait it to be as advanced as the Grape one, but it'll contain all bulma components and classes).

I'll also add an export function as HTML. Maybe a json export would be lovely too.
