My musical tastes have changed a lot, I've found new bands and artists pretty much every year of my life. I listen to music from my teenage years now & then, but more often than not I'm listening to completely new music.
So Amazon-owned Twitch makes huge job cuts, they cut jobs in Prime video, introduce ads for prime video users, all within the last few weeks? Is something wrong with Amazon's financials that they're taking more drastic measures?
They have been lighting hundreds of millions on fire producing content that isn't good that people don't watch, because they have ideologues running the asylum with no controls, who don't produce good content nor have good taste nor pick material that is popular but rather checks political boxes and makes their Hollywood friends happy[0]. This isn't sustainable, and frankly it is surprising it has gone on this long.
This is definitely the easier way to understand it. Imagine a point in the centre of the circle that is traveling. Draw the line that point takes, and then calculate using the new circle.
They're pretty essential for any situation where you can't just stop down the exposure in the camera. If you want a long exposure shot of some crashing waves on a bright day for instance, you might not be able to just increase the shutter speed or narrow the aperture without ruining the intended photo.
I personally like to make dreamy photos wide open with relatively long shutter to accentuate movement. Some of it in full sunlight. Yes, ND filter is essential then.
Yeah, and that's great for storing things in databases. Not for everyday communication. We talk in terms of most relevant to least relevant - the day (or time) is typically most relevant, with the year being least.
How do you write the time? Do you put seconds or minutes before hours? Why not?
How do you write the year? Do you put decade before century?
How do you write numbers? Do you put the ones place before the tens?
Toddmorey asked why units don’t go from small to large and I explained that it is inconsistent with how we write numbers.
Thus, there’s no logical reason to do anything other than large to small. Anything other than ISO 8601 is preferred only for familiarity and no such inconsistent format is inherently more correct or logical.
>How do you write the time? Do you put seconds or minutes before hours? Why not?
No, because the seconds are rarely important.
>How do you write the year? Do you put decade before century?
No, because that's not how numbers work.
>How do you write numbers? Do you put the ones place before the tens?
Same answer.
>Toddmorey asked why units don’t go from small to large and I explained that it is inconsistent with how we write numbers.
Dates aren't numbers. There is a lot more context and meaning around dates that we need to consider when we verbalise and write them. But, for the purposes of e.g. data storage then absolutely - we can consider them no different from numbers. You have to understand that isn't the case with conversational English, though.
> You have to understand that isn't the case with conversational English, though.
Yes, conversational english is arbitrary. The preference there is the familiar so the listener understands. But both commonly used date formats (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS and DD/MM/YYYY HH:MI:SS) are inconsistent and arbitrary. You can’t say one makes more sense than the other because that’s just a matter of personal familiarity.
Turning something you do for fun into something you do to survive has always been a great way to sap the enjoyment out of it.
I've been told numerous times over the years to turn my photography into a business. Or my baking. Or my cooking. Or to start music tuition. I can't think of anything I'd hate more.
