In my eyes, phones actually provide mediocre quality. Even the ones Apple released today, notice how bad are the night shots they display on the website.

I have a dslr with two fixed (portrait and panorama) lenses, and night or day, every single shot is timeless. The quality won’t be outperformed by the next smartphone getting released next year. Of course, I can’t spontaneously shoot photos, need to decide when I want to actually shoot photos so I carry my camera.

Which is not a cons, even an advantage, if you’re truly looking for quality, not quantity.

I don't want to carry a phone in my arm :)

Is it just me or the sample photos for the night mode look pixelated on the website; https://www.apple.com/iphone-12/

I use Jelly, a tiny smartphone that fits the little keychain pocket of my running shortpants, I don't even feel it while running. They released a newer version of it, Jelly 2, if you're interested in small phones.

It's cool to see how big organizations have deployment setups, while it feels like there is not enough resources about how one should setup a deployment system for a new startup just in the beginning.

The setup I currently use is custom bash scripts setting up EC2 instances. Each instance installs a copy of the git repo(s), and runs a script to pull updates from production/staging branches, compiles a new build, replaces the binaries & frontend assets, then restarts the service, and sends a slack message with list of changes just deployed.

It works good enough for a startup with 2 engineers. However, I'd like to know what could be better ? What could save my time from maintaining my own deployment system in AWS world, without investing days of resources to K8s?

I didn't mean to be pedantic. Any name that refers to the software is fine.

Yes, he didn’t have to ditch Macbook though.

I guess the author actually meant to say “So long, OSX” as Macbooks (older than 2016 versions) actually are good hosts for running Linux. I myself run have two Macbooks (Air 13 and Pro 15) with dual boot setup, so I get the best of two worlds: perfect programming setup (i3) on Linux, perfect multimedia (I use Lightroom / Premiere sometimes) setup on OSX.

Not sure if it’s available as audio book, but I strongly recommend My Name Is Red by Orhan Pamuk if you’re looking for fiction.

I volunteered two different refugee camp constructions in Syrian border and I know the difference between a refugee camp and a homeless camp clearly.

How many refugee camps does France have? Let me answer you: 0

Refugees are victims of the war. If they wanted to involve violence, they would not be refugees looking for home. Why to see them as potential terrorists ?
