There's already plenty of group think with certain films. More and more very recently released, popular films are shooting up to the highest rated within a few days. Letterboxd should probably account for the recency bias a bit better.
Right, which is why I think there's more value in finding a couple of individuals whose tastes resonate with your own, and watch their favourite things, rather than pay attention to aggregated scores.
Why is IMAX running a software emulation of hardware from two decades ago?
“The original Quick Turn Reel Units operated on Palm Pilots. In advance of the release of Oppenheimer, IMAX Engineering designed and manufactured an emulator that mimics the look and feel of a Palm Pilot to keep it simple and familiar for IMAX film projectionists,” an IMAX spokesperson told Motherboard.
The article quotes an IMAX spokesperson directly, explaining how and why this was done.
> Combine this with the theatre's "quick turn reel" that allows the film to be replayed without being rewound and you have the world's most sophisticated film projection system.
So the role it plays in the production process is to control some kind of film handling machine.
> Why is IMAX running a software emulation of hardware from two decades ago? IMAX didn’t immediately return Motherboard’s request for comment for an explanation, but such things are more common than you’d think. It’s probable that the IMAX hardware ran on a piece of PalmOS-based software, and it did its job well enough that there was never a need to change.
it's a business decision that makes sense. Short form entertainment is a huge market that TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat have been cashing in on. It may be annoying to users but to those that adopt, YouTube stands to gain a lot from it
I recently saw a recommendation for Practical Vim by Drew Neil (https://pragprog.com/titles/dnvim2/practical-vim-second-edit...) in an other vim thread and decided to pick it up. It's been really enlightening and provides more than just reading documentation. It also goes in depth to how the author thinks about vim motions and how to effectively accomplish your goals with them.
I'll second this. Is an excellent book. After each chapter I recommend to take your own distilled notes. After reading the book you will get a very solid base command knowledge in Vim. What I really liked about it is that you can read it without being distracted: go immediately to the computer to test things out, this is because he painstakingly took the effort to show in pages what actually happens after each time you press a keystroke. I truly appreciated this, because you can read the book anywhere and focus on Vim mechanics without the need to try everything out on the fly.
I'm an avid user of Tridactyl for Firefox. It does have some issues with complex UIs, but for the most part is very functional. Using many common vim motions for navigation and interacting with links is great, especially when I'm working undocked with my laptop.
