During FOSDEM 26 there was a talk about FreeSewing, a site where you can adapt clothing patterns to your specific sizes.

I can not stand the DLP projectors, so I got an Epson 3LCD, and have no issues with it, not crazy expensive either.


LCDs have typically been considered inferior for home cinema usage. The only advantage of them is the price and that they have no colour wheel. DLA is a sort of middle ground that is technically an LCD but works more like DLP. None of this matters if your room isn't set up right or you're projecting in a not completely dark room, though.


It is also possible to define `.PHONY` multiple times, so you can simplify this to:

  .PHONY: something
  something:
      ./do-something

  .PHONY: something-else
  something-else: something
      ./do-something-else

  create-file:
      ./generate-some-output > $@


Good tip! Never realized this could be done.


ffmpeg works really well for this. I have also been making time-lapse movies for over a decade, starting with using just Quicktime Pro 7 to combine the images into movies. Later using various other tools. Now I also use ffmpeg, and want to keep track of exactly how each movie is put together so looked for a way to script each movie. Now I use ffmpeg-python (not a lot of recent updates, but just works) to steer ffmpeg, with my own time-lapse specific Python package https://pypi.org/project/time-lapse/ to assemble the movies, and for each movie I have a single script which describes which frames are part of it and how they are combined into a movie; https://github.com/153957/time-lapse-scripts I am quite happy with the setup, making it easy to recreate movies in the future from source, but at higher resolutions or different codecs.


So this is just a digital zoom (crop) with Super Resolution™-like (machine learning) upscaling...


Yes, though there may be some other adjustments it makes. This is just a feature of their Halide app that gives an approximation of macro photos within the limits of the existing lenses. You would need to buy an iPhone 13 Pro to get the new lenses that can focus down to actual macro ranges. The app has lots of manual controls for taking photos that are not exposed on the default camera app.

Click the Force button (Darth Vader icon, bottom right) to make things stop bouncing around.

Similarly I recently switched the other way. I recommend Lightroom over Capture One. The subscription is a slight downside, but Capture One is similarly expensive if you want to keep up with the latest version, I know you don't have to, but if you do it is expensive.

Moreover Capture One is missing some features which Lightroom has: The ability to filter collections based on their name. A shortcut for 'increase/decrease rating'. Filter photos for 'x stars and higher'. Show all images in a folder, including those in subalbums/subfolders. Being able to mark photos with a 'Reject' flag/rating (and easily hiding, not removing, those).


For a project where I worked on we offered streaming TSV responses and always finished the response with a last row containing a comment: `# Finished downloading.`. Since we also managed one of the client packages to access the endpoints, we check for that when the download is finished and raise an error if it is not there.
