Strange. Why is every single one of these photos out of focus?

The only portrait that appeared OOF to me was that of Susan Hurley. The rest look fine. Was there another one in particular you thought was OOF?

The artist does appear to use a large aperture (or some other technique) to control depth of field. So there are portraits where the background is blurred, or in some, even parts of the subject (hands vs face). But, overall, they're mostly all in focus.

Being a little out of focus and rambling around is a philosophers thing.

Using a lens with a shallow depth of field to create a bokeh effect.

They're not?

I see what the poster means. Parts of each face/head are out of focus. I dunno shit about photography so don’t know the term for what’s going on, but it looks like the camera was set so only about an inch-deep section of the shot would be in focus.

The resulting image looks more intimate. If the photograph was 10 feet away and zoomed in, the face might have the same scale but the entire face would be in focus. The actual image was shot much closer with a shallow depth of field, which even without thinking about it is perceived as the viewer being very close to the subject.

It is amazing how little of our field of view is in focus. Hold up your hand at arms length and look at your thumbnail so it is in focus. Notice that the part of the thumb immediately below the thumbnail is out of focus unless you move your eyes to look at it.

Yep, that's a technique in photography - common for portraits.

This photographer is employing an unusually shallow depth of field in some of these photos. You gotta have a gimmick.

They're all taken by the same photographer and thus exhibit a consistent style

The AI chat-bot on the jobs page is really off-putting.

Reading this helped me a lot:

Good to know!

Two learings on my side:

1. Promises are handled in micro-tasks. 2. `element.click()` causes the event to dispatch synchronously. Even on parent elements.

`ctrl + -` is a good short-cut.

But, often times I have jumped around many times, or only scrolled. It doesn't work in these situations. Whereas `undo` `redo` reliably brings me back to the place of last input.

What ever works for you. To return to scroll position I click up then down or left then right.

You can use `ctr + -` to also jump between documents. So if you’ve jumped to a function definition in another document the back shortcut can take you there.

You could too, couldn’t you?

I use 10x8TB in RaidZ 2 in my home server. TimeMachine Backup for 6 people, docker volumes and an excessively huge media collection.

The TimeMachine datasets are backed up offsite.

Losing this pool would be a PITA, but not critical.

My primary goal with ZFS is some data redundancy. At a good cost. And quick remote backup for a fraction of the pool. Not performance.

At one point, 2 disks died within 2 days. While there was some panic involved, the data on the server could be reproduced with some time.

There isn’t a best solution, that fits all needs. If there was, ZFS wouldn‘t offer all the options it does.

Not sure about the `mobile`.

Here are my thoughts: https://codepen.io/shvi/pen/poyqxWL

I have been using the gmail web app exclusively for one reason: I use the following Chrome Plugin to convert Markdown to HTML emails: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/markdown-here/?hl=...

Did you ever consider adding a Markdown to HTML email option?

This is especially helpful when sending formatted code around!

This is doable via a shell script (+ pandoc):

  # 1. Put markdown on clipboard
  
  # 2. Convert to hex
  out=$(pbpaste | pandoc -f markdown -t html -s | hexdump -ve '1/1 "%.2x"')
  
  # 3. Convert to an applescript data class
  osascript -e "set the clipboard to «data HTML${out}»"

  # 4. Paste rich HTML

You can use something like Alfred or Keyboard Maestro to trigger that script with a keyboard shortcut.

Very clever! Thanks for sharing!

As a programmer, having native markdown support in the app is something I wish for almost every day (especially for code blocks). It's something I plan to add.

That would for sure get me to pay for it tbh never even thought of that as a feature
