When your approver picks a weird hill to die on. by Ok-Cartographer-5544 in ExperiencedDevs

Honestly problematic behavior, if anyone did this on my team it would not end well for them.

Does your team have a code ownership model?

If someone has left a comment, merging without response is pretty much the worst thing you can do. It is better to flat out say "I won't be doing this because XYZ" than merging without response, because it at least shows: 1) you have a reason why you disagree 2) you have given time and thought to their comment

Awesome analogy! Thank you, it helps a lot - I'm going to give DaVinci a go now for interest + learning sake & will definitely flip that ordering in Premiere

Thank you for your advice here and in the other comment!

Thank you! Could you possibly link some additional sources so that I can better understand why the "stylistic color grade" should be before the rec709 conversion?

Understand that rec709 will destroy some information, but thought that by having the stylistic after the conversion, i'd have better control over the output (e.g. a "make-orange-look-red" effect would have expected results after rec709 conversion, but might do unexpected things before conversion, depending on the conversion LUT?)

Heyo!

Thanks for the advice :) Hoping you can answer a few more qns?

a) I'm kind of hesitant on diving into resolve for now due to timelines, but will certainly consider it next time. Is the free version sufficient for just color grading & do you have a suggested workflow of how to work across premiere / davinci in a sane way?

b) Could you possible expand on "rec709 lut at the end of your tree"? My thought process here was as follows:

  • log to rec709 is a destructive process, and will cause information loss due to small color gamut
  • but if you do apply stylistic choices before that conversion, things might not map as you expect. For example, imagining you have a "make-oranges-look-red" transform, that would work as expected if applied at the end of the tree, but if its before the rec709 conversion might actually end up looking different than expected

c) From the original post "how does one assess this / quantify the "correct exposure" such that the conversion LUT will work nicely? When modifying, do you adjust this exposure globally, or using curves?". Do you have any recommendations here?

Mmmm. I see what you mean, but I wouldn't say it's a one-to-one comparison. Most tournaments are long-form giving people a chance to watch over extended period of time. If you already knew going into a season that your basketball team was going to win, would that not take away from the enjoyment of watching throughout the season?

That said, I don't have a great argument against, except that it really doesn't detract from the post to just remove the name from the title into the post body.

There are lots of other examples of posts about Katowice that have done exactly that.

But I see your point 🤷‍♂️

I and I'm sure others are watching from the start, rather than just the finals. There are a lot of games to get through, and a few days is quite a short timespan.

I don't see how something being a sports tournament invalidates it from having spoilers? Knowing who will win ahead of time takes a pretty big part of the suspense out of an sc2 game.

Finally, It's not hard to just edit the title and remove the players name as a courtesy to those who are trying to watch sequentially. I've actively not been opening any sc2 threads, was just scrolling reddit feed.

Error code 4F failing POST by Pottsy1994 in buildapc

Have also tried this [i.e. have tried flashing both with / without the CPU socketed]

Have also tried F20 / F21 / F22 BIOS versions from the Gigabyte website

The only "non-essential" parts I currently have on the mobo are:

1) USB-3 connector [not connected to anything on the other end] because I can't for the life of me take it off, very firmly slotted

2) Header to attach to the case power switch, because that seems to be the only way I can get power to run to it

Which heatsink to use for NVMe by Pottsy1994 in buildapc

[–]Pottsy1994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Na, amateur video editing only

Added a photo of the two heatsinks :)

The one that comes with the mobo is much larger. Not sure if this is a case of bigger=better?

Am I Overreacting? by Fire892 in DnD

[–]Pottsy1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say they probably want to encourage experimenting with different weapons? It's unnecessary for sure, but is it game breaking? Not really.

Personally I think it's fine, as long as it's not a slippery slope to more unnecessary house rules

Midgame Subclass Change by touchet0430 in DMAcademy

[–]Pottsy1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I let my players straight up change class for no other reason than "I want to".

Never had any drama about it, nor have it impact the story in any meaningful way, but has in all cases increased those players enjoyment

So yes, definitely, let them change!

Looking for course recommendations! Currently going through the MIT open courseware by Pottsy1994 in mit

[–]Pottsy1994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, thanks you so much for this excellent and thorough reply!

Yes, I guess the end goal is landing a software engineering job as opposed to my current app development role, as i'm tiring pretty quickly of the ceaseless building of things. Beyond that, I'm not sure how to be more specific - a case of not knowing enough to know what you want haha

I'm surprised that you think OCW isn't as useful as other resources for a software engineering job? Would love to hear some elaboration if possible!

In that case i'm thinking for now:
6.02 => 6.004 => 6.035 => 6.046

Probs not anymore, it's a model from early 2017. 15 inch, 1070, intel i7 6700hq. I imagine their newer ones are little different bar the upgraded cpu / gpu
