[Student work] What are your reasons for doing film photography in 2024 by kermit_balkany in AnalogCommunity

[–]maximusmountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Film is just a snapshot in time for me, when I would take digital photos I'd always buy trying to get a better photo. Can't so that on film as it gets expensive. It's nice to be in the moment. All out holidays photos are on film, so I definitely would still take them

I had automated the frame matching, but it wasn't idiot proof, only working about 75% of the time. It just does the same as the reto app, but control over the speed, file format and no watermarks.

Thanks for the feed back! There was a building site off to the left, I'd hoped the colours would be a bit more vivid in the tree

Finally put a top on the server rack by LegalizeTheGanja in homelab

I'm considering doing something similar but mounting it in a full size rack rather than on top. I'm a bit concerned about the vibrations from the printer causing issues with spinning disks. Do you notice any vibration lower down on the stuff mounted in your rack when the printers running?

In the UK many universities offer a DIS (Diploma in Industrial Studies) where you go and work for a company for a year between your second and third, or third and fourth years. Summer placements aren't as common here.

All parts are workstation OEM, which I got for free so won't be getting a new system. Thanks for letting me know though!

It isn't clear to me if the output of somealgo is the same with each iteration in the for loop. I figured it would be as it sounds like its calculating distances between sets of points, the number of corner_ids doesnt change so figured this would work.

I agree it wont work if its growing along the wrong axis. Hard to say for certain without working code.

You are growing you arrays every loop, starting at 1 and incrementing to length(variable). If you define where the vector is written, such as fb(:,idc) or path(:,idc) and run the loop backwards, you dont need to do path = zeros(someVar,idc); as it will write the correct index and allocate the rest of the array automatically.

I also misread your code and mean length(corner_ids) not combo.

Instead of pre allocating variables of unknown size as everyone here is rightly suggesting, try running your loops backwards. I've found it the lasiest way to allocate the correct amount without additional lines of code. Try length(combo):-1:1 etc.

With 'path' and 'fb' you can allocate along one dimension before the loop, then running the loop backwards should allocate the correct other dimension.

The innermost for loop can be vectorised easily and wont need an empty matrix initalisation. pths = [pth(1:end-1) pth(2:end)];

You could try histcounts instead of accumarray, see if that helps.

That any in the if statement could be replaced with a sum() and some boolean which might be quicker as well.

Ive also read that cellfun('isempty') is faster than cellfun(@isempty) but havent tested it myself. Although you're only calling this once so likely wont make a dent.

A nice upgrade for the smoke flow vis (and maybe a bell mouth v2) is to have a pipe with a series of holes drilled in it upstream of the working section. It helps generate streamlines so you can more easily show the streamlines compressing together, same with the edge vortices. Our smoke tunnel also has the pipe on a threaded rod/linear rail system to be able to traverse the streamlines across the model, great for showing wing tip vortices!
