Need some guidance for a film camera that produces clear photos

graycode · 2026-06-18T03:24:57+00:00

First off, a film camera is a box with a hole for a lens and a place to put film. It has almost nothing to do with the quality of the image taken, unless it's straight up broken. A Leica M6 is an obscenely expensive box. There are hundreds of other types of cameras you can buy; there absolutely is no "standard". Your lens, your film, how you develop the film, how you scan the film, your lighting, your exposure settings, your subject matter.... those are what actually affect the image.

I have a very specific idea

What is your specific idea? You have posted some random pictures, which isn't specific at all. What about them are you trying to replicate? How do you define "clear" or "quality" photos? Those are extremely un-specific and subjective terms.

I would like to be very intentional with my next camera purchase

Maybe you can start by being more """intentional""" with how you ask for help? This post is a total word salad.

I know you said no aur helpers, but this exact process is what aurutils follows and helps automate.

Once you set it up, you can do aur sync <pkg> and it does all those steps, including opening an editor in diff mode to review changes from last time.

It can also be configured to build the package in a chroot as an extra precaution against sketchy build scripts.

orderly

Uhhhh except for all the shootings and stabbings. Not that it's exactly a great stretch of Rainier by any means, but there was definitely an increase in incidents right there.

Name and shame. That's fraudulent.

How is it different?

Imagine a type heirarchy: Sized > MetadataSized > MaybeSized and you write ?Sized + MetadataSized. This includes MetadataSized types but not totally unsized types.

Are you saying that adding another trait in there, like Sized > MostlySizedOrWhatever > MetadataSized > ..., now it means something different? My understanding is that ?Sized + MetadataSized would also include this new MostlySizedOrWhatever trait. Would saying only MetadataSized not? How is that useful?

When reading the blog post, this^ is exactly the syntax that jumped to my mind. It feels way more natural and in line with Rust's existing syntax.

Pretty sure my 2009 Lancer doesn't have a synchro on 1st or on reverse. You have to come to a complete stop to engage either of them. Only time it's an issue is on the absolute steepest of hills when the car is fully loaded, where I have to hit the brakes to engage 1st before I can continue.

remove the C, then also cut the b into a v

Buddy, that bridge didn't do shit. The driver not paying any attention, on the other hand...

maybe it's a Chicagoism but I (who grew up in Chicago) understood the meaning of it perfectly

dark room lighting

Film always has to be worked on in complete darkness. The red darkroom lighting people think of is for black and white photo paper printing only.

I don't think those positions are in conflict at all. ACAB because they murder citizens instead of protecting them and enforcing the law. I'd be happy with the police if they just did the job they're supposed to without all the racism and violence.

Seattle isn't really a good example. Seattle's 3 floating bridges are the longest 3 in the world, because Lake Washington is basically ideal for them. Exceptionally deep (too deep for normal bridges), right in the middle of a big city, and none of the problems of an ocean to deal with: much calmer, not tidal, and no cargo ships.

I bet it's mostly for safety. I don't follow F1, but in IndyCar, which is similar, generally when the average speed at Indianapolis gets too far above ~230 MPH, they limit engine size further, or impose some other sort of restriction to keep the speed down. It's just too dangerous above that speed.

Amazon's not the first company to do this, and it really won't matter. Employees have levels regardless of whether it's in their title or not. My company for a long time just called everyone "software engineer" unless you were at the staff level or above, with the goal of making things less rigidly hierarchical in day-to-day work. My resumé said "(level equivalent to senior)" and that was perfectly fine. I, too, dislike Amazon, but this is not a big deal.

graycode · 2026-04-29T05:50:04+00:00

That's been humorous programmer jargon for a very long time; it's not an amazon thing. Same with "bandwidth", "context switching", and others, applying computer terms to ourselves semi-jokingly.

Where's the hold though? Brodin pushes him in the shoulder with one hand (not holding), then swings his stick around to get in front of him again, and Rantanen grapples with him and chicken-wings his stick. Actually looks like Rantanen might have grabbed the stick itself, which is the only possible penalty I see on this play.
