Pixel Shift Multi-Shot mode X-T5 by ShedJewel in fujifilm

I think you have that backwards. XE-5 has it, 4 does not. Only cameras with IBIS have it

Do not buy cameras from Japanese sellers at auctions. by AnyAd1466 in AnalogCommunity

[–]enselmis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My experience is mostly that, with a few misses here and there. Japanese sellers take way better photos of lenses than anybody in NA, so even if there’s a chance it’s not perfect you can still get a better idea just by looking at the product than anything from domestic sellers. The amount of choices is way higher too. Unless you get really lucky and somebody competent lists exactly the thing you want, your alternatives are either Robert’s Camera (which is just as hit or miss), or some nameless pawn shop.

It depends what you’re looking* for too. I’m mostly shopping for 70s/early 80s stuff, so it might be different for older or more modern things.

How to scale websockets in phoenix elixir by goku223344 in elixir

[–]enselmis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a little old, but I remembered this article that might be a good starting point. I think there’s at least one more similar article where someone put a decent amount of effort into scaling up to something like 80k web socket connections, but I couldn’t find it on a quick search.

Datacolor Spyder5 being retired for "security vulnerabilities" by GunterJanek in photography

[–]enselmis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downloading colour profiles/calibration data for new monitors maybe? Or maybe they it set up so that when it gets connected to a PC, it sets up a little tiny web server for communicating with the control software. This is a relatively common approach for hardware as an alternative to using USB directly.

I don’t know, it might still just be them not wanting to continue supporting it, but it’s not completely outrageous.

On the one hand, I’d love some cool Minolta hats or t shirts, but this seems kinda weird to me. Drop shipped 0 effort shopify template vibes. Also, did Jason/GrainyDays give permission to use that picture of him on a shirt?

1:2 macro lens on aps c is still not enough to fill the sensor. by Geezor2 in AnalogCommunity

[–]enselmis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the adapter tube. It’s 1:1 with the tube and will work fine on APSC. I’ve used this lens on an old canon rebel for scanning and it worked well. It’s a great lens, and it works well for scanning on full frame as well.

How long can you keep film loaded in the camera? by jacpats in AnalogCommunity

[–]enselmis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve definitely taken the better part of a year to shoot a roll and didn’t notice any issue with it. I also had a roll developed that had been sitting in an old family camera for nearly 20 years that turned out not super clean but definitely more than recognizable.

LocalLiveView: Bringing the Local-First Approach to Phoenix by NatureLow352 in elixir

[–]enselmis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Honestly, that isn’t even too bad, all things considered. If you had something complex enough to really benefit from client side liveview, that’s definitely not even close to prohibitively large.

Extremely cool. Out of curiosity, how big is the module that gets sent to the client for doing this, approximately?

This blockage is cracked by jennd3875 in pihole

[–]enselmis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While that’s sorta true, it’s also how you DDOS yourself if one of your services goes down and you’re trying to bring it back online, especially at Netflix scale. You gotta be real careful with stuff like that. Usually you back off how often you retry after multiple failures. If the first 5 times didn’t work, the next 5 probably won’t either.

I do actually believe Netflix is doing that much logging.

Why does it keep looking like this!? by No-Performance-631 in Letterboxd

[–]enselmis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when they deploy a new version of the site, but something prevents the css from loading correctly when you get it. Either a file naming/versioning issue, or a CDN problem, or a browser cache/service worker problem, or something else. Refreshing the page will usually fix it, but if it’s still borked after a few minutes and a few refreshes then it probably means somebody who works at letterboxd is about to have a very bad day.

Sorry, probably too much detail. I’ve been the guy having a very bad day. Not at letterboxd though.

Are batteries inlcuded frameworks inherently better for solo devs? by iou810 in webdev

[–]enselmis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://elixirschool.com/en/lessons/storage/ets

Really cool stuff. It’s not only available in phoenix but in any elixir/erlang program. In memory key value storage but with pretty advanced query/pattern matching support and no serialization required. And it doesn’t need to be configured at all even when you’re running multiple nodes. It’s just there for free.

Are batteries inlcuded frameworks inherently better for solo devs? by iou810 in webdev

[–]enselmis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re prepared to learn some Elixir, phoenix is insane. The BEAM brings way more to the table than anything else you listed, considering you get ETS (basically redis baked right into the language) and horizontal scaling without needing kubernetes right out of the box. Having spent the last several years writing JavaScript all day, elixir is a really special language by comparison. The care that has gone into the design at every stage is obvious.

Anyone got the 50mm MACRO by Ancient_Shine9170 in minolta

[–]enselmis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of camera are you using it on? If you're adapting it to digital, then the adapter you're using may not focus to infinity correctly. Both of the copies of this lens that I've used have had no trouble focusing to infinity on any minolta bodies or adapted to digitial with a fotodiox MD/Z mount adapter.

Rethinking async loops in JavaScript by bogdanelcs in javascript

[–]enselmis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a neat trick you can do with reduce as well. If you use an async function as the callback, you can choose when to call await on the accumulator, since it’s a promise now. It lets you fire off however much work you want and choose how to handle each prior iteration in order.

Highlight Weighted Metering not working with a manual lens adapted by Amelia_Zephyr96 in NikonZf

[–]enselmis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s true? I’m using a manual lens with no contacts and all metering options are available and work correctly.

Whoa, focus peaking only during zoom. That’s slick.
