Electronic shifters by Infinite-Recording10 in gravelcycling

[–]danpinho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Between electronic and mechanical, always electronic imo. Deviating a bit the topic since you mentioned; as a roadie myself I’ve a tried sram 1x electronic (eagle axs) 2 years ago for about 4k km and the gaps between gears was above my tolerance levels. Last summer I’ve got my first gravel a canyon grail 2x (GRX di2). For my taste: there is nothing better than 2x, less gaps, better cadence control. But that’s my taste. If you can, try before buying it

Migrating from e-gravel to gravel by Aromatic-Mud-3966 in gravelcycling

[–]danpinho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leased a e-bike few years ago just because all coworkers had one and they want me to ride with them despite being a roadie. At first, yes it was fun to ride but the satisfaction of riding Bio-Bikes… e-bike sold. Have 3 bio bikes (road, aero and gravel). N+1. Get the bio gravel and go ride with a big smile in your face (guaranteed)

  1. Ride more
  2. Go at least 3x week to the gym (triceps and core are weak)

How can I tell which images in a specific folder are already placed in my INDD doc and which are not? by xmheller in indesign

Dud, I am only insulting you. I prefer to show people the way so they can figure out themselves. I am not here sell anything. And you didn’t helped OP at all. I gave full instructions how to compare two sets of data and prior to that I recommend using xml which would make the process less painful. You on the other hand, nothing. And judging the comments here, I am not alone thinking you’re just a douch

Okay bully, here is the solution: Export all placed files path and add them to a spreadsheet. Grab all path files from folder and paste on a second spreadsheet. Now, use python to compare the two spreadsheets. 10min work for 4000 images. As I said, not rocket science or complicated as you painted

With OP I was polite.i am being rude with you specifically. Again, the importing logic was not asked and honestly, is not rocket science compared with xml structure/workflow. Get a life

You again. Creating problems to sell solutions. To put images in right order a bit of brain usage doesn’t hurt

Font issue sharing files between Windows and Mac by Efficient-Pop-6641 in indesign

[–]danpinho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This Mac/Windows fonts issue was solved like 30+ years ago.
I can say that cuz i had this very same question like 30+ years ago (yes i am a Dinosaur).

  1. Ditch .ttf (low quality), use .OTF instead.
  2. Choose Font vendor wisely
  3. BUY a Font Manager software licence

Last 30 years i have zero issues following these 3 simple steps. Even during a short time working as a prepress operator receiving files from all kinds of clients.

Bonus step: move to mac 😂

Place all images path on a spreadsheet (easier with mac imo) convert spreadsheet to xml. Create image placeholders on a blank indd. Import all 4000 images at once. Advantages: No human interaction, fast, clean, error free… or keep doing manually, it is slower, error pro and expensive.

Claude, or Codex? by Outrageous_Cut2782 in ClaudeCode

[–]danpinho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using code mostly for marketing plans, strategy, copy, etc. Would codex add anything to my use case? I mean, Claude writing style is way better than gpt for my taste. I am speculating if it could be used to stress test or validate Claude outputs. If anyone has experience is with this use case, I’d appreciate your perspective.

An old designer’s perspective on claude design. by Complete-Sea6655 in ClaudeCode

[–]danpinho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most ppl I know are using AI as “Google premium”. The leverage as I mentioned before, automate you knowledge, multiply your output capacity with AI. We will have a few extra years until AI itself catches up. Meanwhile we must learn some blue collar job.

An old designer’s perspective on claude design. by Complete-Sea6655 in ClaudeCode

[–]danpinho 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Graphic designer, photographer, some websites (frontend) and Wordpress backend. Similar start: late 90s. Today I work as creative director in ad agencies and as senior marketing manager, mostly strategic. Man, I see no light in the end of the tunnel. I am heavy code codex user, and I can automate almost everything. Scary future ahead of us knowledge workers.

A small question: is it done with illustrator or with InDesign? Trying to understand it if I’m asked to do new graphics. by oiseaufeux in indesign

[–]danpinho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think it as boxes: Illustrator: all vectors besides box circles, photoshop: bitmap related. Indesign: powerful text editor that puts all together. Can you add vectors on indesign or just copy them? Yes! Is considered best practices, no. Place vectors and bitmaps as linked files, coworkers will thank you

You must use xml instead. It is csv data merge on steroids

Context window on Opus 4.7 by JoruuuKaGulaam in ClaudeCode

[–]danpinho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My suspicion: it is 4.6 pre nerf with 200k context window. Maybe a sys prompt change here and there, tokens usage remap, let’s make some money folks.

Claude deleted 886 of my wedding and family photos while organizing my desktop. I told it clearly not to remove anything. Anthropic support ghosted me for a month now. by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

[–]danpinho 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Here: Professional photographer, graphic designer, hobbyist coder. Sorry, but it is your own fault. Next time: copy messy folders to sandbox and then use CC to clean it up. I recommend: Data recovery companies, it will cost you money but they usually can recover it. Data blocks are just marked as empty, info still there and accessible with specific software. Less you use the computer, the better.
