I've been really pleased with Luminar Neo for photo editing and have been using it alongside Lightroom. Their marketing unfortunately makes it seem like an unserious and gimmicky tool for non-professionals, just due to extreme AI focus and SaaS-ificiation of their website, but it's actually really good software. The core editing tools are on par with Lightroom and have very friendly UX, and some (not all) of the near-gimmick AI features are actually impressive and forward-thinking.

I also use Neo set up as a plugin to Photoshop. This has been my pro setup for like 3 years now. I couldn't do without Neo, it makes some tasks so much quicker than any of the other options.

Lmao then why not just say you don't like criminals, murderers, and Marxists. The focus on their Jewishness is suspect at the very least...


I'm pretty sure this isn't true but I'm curious, got a source? Afaik they were somewhat overrepresented but never a majority and only about 5% of party members were Jewish although percentages in leadership were slightly higher at around 15%

That is the only source I could find as well but I also found others saying it was false and that Putin was lying and misguiding


So the leader of a G8 country speaks to a room full of rabbis, and the news article is published in a Jewish newspaper, and there's no rebuttal or other commentary in the article ... But some guy somewhere on the internet says it's not true. Okay.


Is it possible for a leader of a G8 country to lie to room full of rabbis?

What cynical times we live in.


It certainly is possible.

However it is unlikely that at least one person wouldn't correct the record after the fact, or make sure that the article would have an opposing view mentioned.


This is behind a paywall for me, but from what I saw, that seems like it might be for the best...


Prepend paywalled articles with "archive.is/" to see them.

There are multiple. Sequelize is the best and I've used it in a few projects


And iOS + mac safari have service workers now


images and everything else bc client-side rendering... not sure how this is an argument for not lazy-loading images though


Because images won’t even start loading until JavaScript fully downloads and executes versus loading in parallel with other activities in the page.


As an end user it feels slow. If I hold my space bar on a website created in 1995, I can scan the entire page contents.


What you are talking about is more like graceful degradation. If server side rendering is used you will be able to see content ASAP, but not able to scroll, because interaction is blocked by JS. But if you will visit page with JS disabled you will get what you want, because component generates img in noscript tag and you will be able press space to scan the page


Actually pages that use a component like the one in this submission typically show a blurry "beer goggle" version of the image, waiting for JS to replace them with a hi-res version. So with no JS you get a page of beer goggle images (BBC does this for instance).


But not this component. This component will load images without JS. Test it yourself https://stereobooster.github.io/react-ideal-image-experiment...


You'd still have blank spaces where large images are as they're loading on a slow connection


I'm talking about lazy loading that waits until the image enters the viewport. An HTML page created in 1995 loads the images eagerly.


I much prefer a pixelated or blurry preview image first and then the real image instead of waiting 20 years for images to load staring at a blank page. i notice the perceived speed difference on websites that do this and those that don't. Medium does it well and this react component image approach is similar. And once it is loaded, it is an <img />


Images load in the background, so the other content will be available before the images are all finished loading.

As a rule, I’d much rather see nothing or a solid colour than a pixelated or blurred preview of the image; I find it and the transition surprisingly disconcerting. I mentioned this at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16516126#16558042 and have heard others agree with me.


This component supports solid color as placeholder. The same way as Google Images or Pinterest do


this is an extreme oversimplification. those aren't mutually exclusive and diversity isn't just "quotas". read a book


Thanks for the recommendation. I read harry potter. It was great. Not sure what I learned about 'diveristy', though.


good choice. great series
