    Phone cameras tend to ramp up the saturation.

    It gives the photo a more vibrant look, which many people prefer, at the expense of color accuracy.

    But generally with artistic photography, you’re going more for a style than for accuracy, so I wouldn’t say it’s always a bad thing (though sometimes it is).





  • is a pretty surreal. Considered one of the most influential films of all time. One of the earliest examples of post-modernism in film.

    Every scene in Ex Machina is basically a dialogue covering different arguments in the philosophy of AI. Plus a surreal dance scene.

    I was blown away by mother! when I first saw it. But looking back on it, the allegory wasn’t exactly subtle.

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a meta-modern masterpiece.

    Tropic Thunder, as a meta commentary on comedy, is actually really good. Aside from the great comedy itself.

    However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated.

    Quite the opposite.

    GNU Hurd was a microkernel, using lots of cutting edge research, and necessitating a lot of additional complexity in userspace. This complexity also made it very difficult to get good performance.

    Linux, on the other hand, was just a bog standard Unix monolithic kernel. Once they got a libc working on it, most existing Unix userspace, including the GNU userspace, was easy to port.

    Linux won because it was simple, not elaborate.

    Sweatshirts are double-layered pullovers, typically non-woven. Sweaters are single-layer pullovers, typically knit. Jackets have buttons or zippers. Hoodies have hoods and are made of fabric (e.g. raincoats are not hoodies).

    You can have hoodies that are also sweatshirts, or hoodies that are also jackets.

    This garment pictured in your post is a jacket. It is also a hoodie. It is neither a sweatshirt nor a sweater.

    This is just my interpretation of the situation. I don’t know of any formal classification system for outerwear.
