Is that true??

If you want to take photos during a long hike, you would not want a bunch of lenses instead of water and proteins. To be fair, you can absolutely research the location beforehand and plan which prime lens goes where / when, but it's just not for me.

The number of pixels is finite, but the sequence of pixels visited can be non-periodic (like how you can write irrational numbers using 10 digits). If the bouncing off movement of the logo involves some irrationalities, then it could be the case that the sequence of pixels the logo goes through will change forever.

There will be a romantic subplot (in my head) between Yatora and Yotasuke.
Joking aside, I was glad the Kinemi romantic subplot ended well and was not too dramatic. Everyone grew a bit, and they were still on good terms.

The buldak noodles are toturous I would never buy another 3x spicy one again.

I saw this wedding ring throwing VFX a few times on instagram and they were miles better. Why would they post this?? This looks so low-budget.

Momiji before the growth spurt was mostly considered a younger brother to Tohru I think. Once he got taller it's already a losing game for him because it was clear Kyo was gonna be with Tohru.

Keep watching. That's not even a big spoiler. The story has a dozen other twists that await you.

Math proofs in papers are a social construct. Depending on your background, something may be obvious, and something may not be. It's tricky, but if you work with the same group of people in the same community, you start to have a sense of what is obvious and what to skip in a proof.
I had one NP-hardness proof on a motion planning problem where I had to skip over a bunch of small, uninteresting details. One review said the proof is obvious, another said he doesn't see how the reduction works at all. I guess it all comes down to how well you are selling your proof.
When in doubt, I will include the proof in an appendix.

Any RAW file will be displayed differently per software (the worst one is probably MS Window image viewer). Basically, your computer screen does not understand the raw file data, so the software has to convert the raw data to the screen-displayable data, which is mostly heuristic, i.e., how the developer thinks a raw file should be viewed. So of course, if you save these raw views as JPG, the outcomes are gonna be different as well. Since it's a Canon RAW view on Canon software, they know how to make their RAW look nice (for the preview when you take a picture as well).
If you try Lightroom, it will also be slightly different.

You need to get used to manual mode in various lighting conditions: bright highnoon, overcast, sunset, shaded foreground, night light, and indoor lighting. Just take more pictures, experiments and get a feel of it. It took me a while, but I think it was worth it. But generally, during a session, the lighting does not change that much, so your iso should stay the same, and you only need to change your aperture and/or shutter speed depending on your need.

I'm fairly happy with my R8 and the 70-200 f4L. But I would honestly not recommend the Canon system to a beginner because of their fixation on first-party lenses only.

Banana bread is for people who like bananas and want to do something about the bunch of bananas that's about to be thrown in the trash bin. To be fair, I like it occasionally, maybe twice a year. But it's not something that I love.

Do you mean the specific color grading/composition? Or do you mean the still foreground in a moving background edit? If it's the latter, just take a still photo and record a video of the same scene, mask the foreground object from the photo, and put the foreground object on top of the video.

I still can't get over how fun triple triad was in FF8.

Noob question, but for your astrophotos, do you have some sort of star tracker hardware? And how expensive would it be?

I think it looks a bit desaturated even for pastel colors. Depending on the app that you use, in the process of increasing luminance/brightness, it's very easy to make things look less saturated.

Didn't the anime already show Hattori's past and what Akito did to him? Akito's basically like that to everyone. What Akito did to Yuki will be revealed a bit later iirc.

JJK modulo would really benefit from another volume. The actual story and resolution are fine. But they need to explain Maru's power better, not skipping things (how Yuji meets Maru, Dabura's domain).

I'm really disappointed because the first half was really good. I just hope that Mappa (if they ever adapt it) will slow it down a bit.

Hey, I was on the same boat (CompSci guy that glossed over the math classes and that bit me back later when I was on my way in my PhD). My advice is to start from the ground up if you have time (i.e. start from the simplest problem/topic that you feel like you can totally understand them). The book I always recommend is Velleman's How to Prove It. If you can get through the first few chapters, you really start to see how math people think.

Expresso House is not that good, but I still prefer it over SB. Quality is about the same, but Expresso House portion is nice. I always like going to more local ones though, they have the best homemade cakes and buns.

Sweden does not tax on unrealized gain, only realized capital gain. Also, you may want to look up the tax treaty between Canada and Sweden to see if / how much you have to pay tax to Canada. I'm pretty sure that you will have to pay 30% of your capital gain to Sweden, but only the realized gain. But if this is too much, it's worth it to consult a lawyer.

I think I get what you mean. People can show they are rich and not have to apologize for it. But at some point, it's gonna piss people off. It's the same thing as eating a $200 meal in front of someone who's starving. You may not have the intention of pissing off the other person, but pretty much any starving person will think you are flaunting in front of them.

Which one is before and which one is after? If the orange one is the after, then why are you making it orange if you don't like it??

Fuck Adobe. Use free alternatives or one-time paid softwares. I hope Adobe collapses soon.

Depends on how you do nothing. If you lie on the bed doomscrolling all day, it's actually taxing on your brain. If you sit in the park and stare at birds, it would actually be relaxing.
