> It seems like you already understand the differences.
Honestly I was about to ask the same questions as the parent comment. Whenever I'm interested in something I usually look at what available tools exists out there already; seeing a new tool mentioned that I've never heard of before, my reflex is to ask "oh neat, what makes it different than the existing tools?". I don't think the question was ill-intended, just genuine curiosity; assuming that you wrote your library because you had no idea build123d existed rather than because you were unsatisfied with it and wanted to tackle the problem differently is a bit of a leap.
Yup, that's very possible; when I do manual color inversion I usually fill a layer with the film base color, and use the "subtract" blend mode to account for it, else I get much "cooler" colors not unlike what is shown in the demo movie.
I use a sous-vide circulator to get the products ~1F above the recommended 102F for the shortest possible development time (3.5min) and never had any problems! The kit I use (cinestill) is a 2-bath process (Developer, and Blix) and not accounting for the time to get the products to 103F, developing a roll of C41 film takes less time than B&W and gives me more consistent results.
Weird, c41 is an extremely standardized process. Developing times, temperatures, results etc. are very consistent. I get the exact same results by developing it at home than when I get it done at a lab. B&W is a lot more subjective and most labs will charge you more to develop it because it has more variables and can't be as easily automated.
Scanning and color reversal is where you'll probably see a difference for color negatives, but development, if done properly, should be very similar.
"An appeal to authority is an argument from the fact that a person judged to be an authority affirms a proposition to the claim that the proposition is true."
I don't think the person you replied to was claiming that DEC64 was good or bad because it was written by Crockford? Didn't feel like he was passing any judgement, merely pointing out who the author was...
One advantage is to instantly stream video files for most torrents. If someone else on put.io downloaded a given torrent before you, it's available for streaming in mp4 immediately (and that's the case for most torrents I've added to put.io)
Interesting, they used to offer a 10GB plan for $5 (which I've always been on: http://d.pr/i/WDEK ) . Apparently it's not available anymore! However, I was never asked to upgrade my plan (I didn't even know the plan I was on didn't exist anymore before today!)
Another interesting option is Beamer[1]. Bought it a while ago and I have nothing but good things to say about it... Just drag any video on it and stream it to your AppleTV in seconds.
Wow, a bit surprised to hear that! What kind of tricks are we talking about? I've been on their $5 plan for over a year and have never heard anything from them about upgrading!
I just visit put.io from my iPhone or iPad and from there I stream the video and send it to the Apple TV via Airplay. There's also a couple of free 3rd party native iOS apps that let you connect to your put.io account, and stream the videos, but they're not really necessary. Never had much luck with AirPlay mirroring with my Macbook Air, it's always laggy in my experience.
So yeah, you do need either an iPad or iPhone to do it, however Put.io has a Roku app if you have one of these.
put.io does have some interesting features in my opinion. One of them being that it will convert any video to mp4 which I can then stream directly to my Apple TV.
They also allow for external subtitle tracks to be added and again, it works with the Apple TV (something that other alternatives were never able to do).
Also, judging by the percentage of torrents I add on put.io that are instantly completed, I guess they have a sizeable user-base... That wasn't always the case with the seedboxes I've tried before (I'd say more than 90% of the torrents I add on put.io are completed, converted, and instantly streamable to the Apple TV)
I may be missing something here but, where did anyone mention riding a longboard on the sidewalk? I live in a big city and when a street doesn't have a dedicated cycle lane (shared by not only bicycles but, rollerblades and longboards), these people just ride between parked and moving cars... I don't see how a longboard is more of a nuisance than a bicycle really? I've seen people on bicycles going at about 5mph, slowing down all the traffic, and I've seen people riding longboards at ~15-20mph (and vice versa). Sure riding a longboard on the sidewalk is not only a nuisance, it's probably a bad idea for anyone involved... but I'm not sure why they couldn't be allowed to ride where bicycles are allowed to ride?
I think his point was more that, when it's 7AM in PST, it's already 10AM in EST and ~3-4PM in Europe... that makes it hard for PST to "get the early jump" considering everyone else in Europe/America is most likely already awake...
It's also a popular French name (I know 2 Loics personally...) No idea why this particular user uses this username but, it might not be for the reasons you think...
I immediately thought of that story too! I still think it was an interesting read even after knowing it was part hoax!
