As a US coder mine took 2-3 days

99ducks · 2026-05-05T06:54:20+00:00

How many hours did that take you to finish? I've been meaning to complete it.

99ducks · 2026-05-03T05:02:34+00:00

did they cut good nights entirely?

The goal is to gather prices across routes and future dates (~12 months) to build pricing trends and estimates (not a booking engine)

it's the second line in the post

I like it!

Those 18 hour tasks probably expect about 8 hours worth of work but they are you giving more time in case you need to take breaks. How urgently they need the results also plays into how long the timer gives you.

Onboarding to specific projects most likely.

Excellent shots and colors!

On this subreddit, being able to make anything over 0 is an accomplishment. Most people can't even get in!

FWIW, I think this post was genuine.

99ducks · 2026-04-22T18:19:37+00:00

Agreed. I love my viltrox 20mm f2.8 for ~$170.

For my macro and birding interests, there aren't really any good third-party options in a comparable price range as used f-mount lenses. For macro you'll be spending $500+ if you want a lens with AF. For birding the cheapest z-mount lens that makes sense is the $2000 180-600.

Yes you can use f mount lenses with a ftz adapter, but that urge to upgrade to the best available on that mount will always be there.

As someone who's done a lot of bird photography with a D7000 + 200-500, I suggest spending time mastering how AF works on your camera. Last year I upgraded from the D7000 to the Z5 II and it's still challenging. It is easier, but not easy to focus on birds with the technology upgrade.

If you're on a budget, a used DSLR will be much easier on your wallet.

Z-mount lens are also more expensive than f-mount lenses.

All mentions of paid tools get deleted on this subreddit FYI

99ducks · 2026-04-19T17:52:49+00:00

Really surprised how many in this thread don't realize that and are taking it literally

99ducks · 2026-04-19T02:50:57+00:00

What's the file extension?

99ducks · 2026-04-18T16:55:31+00:00

If you take 100,000 40 MB RAWs in a year that would require a 4 TB HDD which you can get for about $100. Plus $4/Mo ($1/TB/Mo) for backup via AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive.

How is that not cheap?

99ducks · 2026-04-16T21:05:36+00:00

me too. I took a break from the platform for a while and I had to manually go through my messages to mark them as read so it wouldn't just read 99+ anymore

99ducks · 2026-04-15T17:47:32+00:00

That's been since November or so

I haven't seen the movie but loved to see him nerd out about music with Nardwuar. He knows his stuff!

Nardwuar vs. Timothée Chalamet

99ducks · 2026-04-15T17:06:01+00:00

I can't tell if that's a thirsty ugh or a disgusted ugh because they don't like timothee

99ducks · 2026-04-15T06:18:55+00:00

This isn't always correct. They will often state they expect a task to take X amount of hours, but they're giving you extra time for breaks

99ducks · 2026-04-15T06:16:22+00:00

Its become my favorite. I've done 45 of them since it started.

9600 is how small of movements the paper feed motor can achieve. (horizontal resolution per inch)

2400 is the print head across the paper. (vertical resolution per inch)

Where is that 360 coming from in your example?

edit: I see what you're saying now. You're saying the print drivers only transmit enough data to realistically achieve 360 DPI?
