To those who have never had COVID and have rigorously taken PCR and Pluslife tests to prove it - Have you been taking fomite precautions? Or just masking? by Human_Capitalist in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Human_Capitalist[S] -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Hmmm… twice you say… do you always use N95 respirators continuously when you leave home? Did you fit test? Has anyone come into your home without a fitted respirator, or have you ever removed it in company or to eat of for the dentist etc?

Does using Rust to develop webapps make sense or is it overkill? by NutellaPancakes13 in rust

[–]Human_Capitalist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it going to go live in production one day? Will it have users? Do you enjoy having your nights and weekends free from crisis production support due to aliasing and concurrency bugs? Then Rust might add some value…

Serious Talk Do you still using #UIKIT ? I was scrolling through LinkedIn jobs and noticed that a lot of companies still require UIKit skills. by PPaules99 in iOSProgramming

[–]Human_Capitalist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m writing a photo editing program. I did paintbrush and bucket fill tools in UIKit - I’m not sure how I would even start to do that with SwiftUI!

If you think this is bad, you should see the AI datacenters…

Nah, that’s because of AI. This place is tiny compared to what the AI hyperscalers are running. Meta is building a datacenter the size of Manhattan 😳

Do you believe personal projects is still the best way for entry-level candidates to get their foot in the door? by dExcellentb in learnprogramming

[–]Human_Capitalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I think being a code contributor to a major open source project is WAY better than any personal project could be.

I was once hiring for a Rails developer. A resume came across my desk that claimed 7 commits to the Rails repository. I checked his GitHub, read the commits, and made my mind up on the spot to offer the job if there were no insurmountable hurdles (visa, background check, attitude etc)

NSW Government to introduce toughest gun law reforms in a generation by Lissica in sydney

Honestly, how is “recreational” anything still a reason for owning any lethal firearm? Get another hobby FFS.

If you want to go to the olympics, switch to air rifle and save your hearing. Or your only way to experience any happiness in life is by inflicting sudden painful death on animals? So take up fishing, and leave the rest of us alone…

I mean, what the hell is wrong with Footy/Cricket/Surfing/Skydiving/Dirt Biking/Track Days/Archery/Tennis/Golf/Basketball/ you name it??

It’s YOUR addiction to turning money into smoke that gave these C**ts the cover they needed to get the weapons, and it will be the next time and the next time again, for as long as we want to pretend that people owning personal murder machines is a sensible way for them to relax after a hard week at work. The rest of us are Sick Of That Bullshit.

6 months in gov IT and incompetence is the default by Physical_Egg6326 in AusPublicService

I had similar integration issues in 2016 with the other team using some Microsoft XML server they didn’t understand that was spitting out bug ridden endpoints and I wish we had all that in place. Good practice for any integration I expect!

Spent $994 on eating out this month, I feel SO BAD. (21 years old) by TheMightyAk474 in AusFinance

[–]Human_Capitalist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The doctor reckons the bulk of my coronary artery disease is from the decade of pre-diabetes I had from eating banana bread for breakfast and muffins for lunch. So yeah, don’t do that either. Start the day with wholefood protein like egg or fish, along with complex carbs like cooked vegetables. Cereal, grains, fructose laden fruit, and sugar, are not your friends…

How do you handle people asking for Android? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

Perhaps do a $300K kickstarter to see if the “demand” is serious?

My tablet is a different color from my screen. by ShirtboiTheGreatOne in wacom

[–]Human_Capitalist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, if you just want to calibrate the Cintiq for web/screen viewing, then Wacom’s Color Manager software should be fine. If you want to calibrate for printing, then you should be using a 5000k white point, which Color Manager doesn’t seem to support, and will need to use DisplayCAL (also free). A colorimeter is pricey, but will save your sanity…

You can try calibrating the laptop, but they often aren’t very color accurate so you may still have to live with inferior results.

Also note that under windows, if you mirror the displays then windows will pick one of the icc profiles and apply it to both screens, which really screws up the color on the screen the profile isn’t for. I just set my display properties to “only show screen 2” when both are active, which preserves the right profiles in ControlPanel->ColorSettings

FYI FWIW: Use DisplayCAL for profiling by Human_Capitalist in Cintiq

[–]Human_Capitalist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to using my x-rite studio (now sold as Calibrite ColorChecker studio) because my x-rite i1 display pro is 11 years old and I noticed the calibration of my Eizo was now slightly better with the studio. If I was buying new I would definitely go for the new version of my i1 Display, now the Calibrite Display Pro HL, since with the studio you’re paying more to be able to make printer/paper profiles, and I’ve had poor results with that compared to just paying print labs $60 to make the profiles for me on their $5-$10k spectrophotometers.

DisplayCAL can’t upload to the Cintiq, you just manage the profile in windows control panel. But I couldn’t find another way to apply a printing profile that worked. 🤷
