Nah yeah Photoshop .PSD's were totally normal for website designs. I got extremely proficient at building functioning websites based on PSD files, going back as far as the days of using nested <table> structures with 1x1 transparent spacer.gif images :) I built hundreds of websites from .PSD files, and Fireworks was pretty much non-existent in my experience.

Yeah +1, at the start of my career (mid 2000s) all the web designs were done in Photoshop. I think this was true until 2010/11 at least, when I first encountered Axure being used for some design stuff. I’ve never used Fireworks and never saw it in the wild (UK, in case it was a regional thing)

Those days aren’t over. HN uses nested tables with 1x1 transparent spacer.gif images.

I like that HN’s design is timeless. It’s a shame people usually ignore it, or are critical of it.


The text is barely legible, and you can hardly ever click on the actual target you want (e.g. upvote vs downvote).

It's timeless in that it was never good to begin with, it is just actively malicious now for anyone using it from a touch interface.


> It's timeless in that it was never good to begin with

True but it shows that good design doesn't matter.

Also: Craigslist, Reddit, LinkedIn...the list goes on.


It took me a damn long time to find this information, so I'm pasting it here:

> It includes native RAW support for Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony and even iPhone ProRAW.

I looked all over for a more technical page that just lists these kind of specs in bullet-point form, but apparently they refuse to communicate information about their product in this way? The "Tech Specs" page only seems to show information about hardware products. /shrug

Would be cool to have something I can use to edit my Fujifilm-shot photos without any sort of subscription. Capture One Express (or whatever it's called now) is super light on features, but processes Fujifilm .RAF's very well (oh, or it used to, apparently it's permanently discontinued now, great). I'd love to use Lightroom but I refuse to pay for a subscription to use software, so... options are limited :\


Been said, but you can outright buy Capture One with no subscription. I am a fuji shooter and have been using C1 in this way for quite a while now.

Same boat — looking at both the product page and a lot of the comments here, people seem to miss how great C1 is (and how much better it has been than lightroom for years). So much of photo editing as well isnt just color touchups but media management, and I think C1's workflow is incredible and fast and doesn't really leave me wanting anything else.

I love (video) Resolve, but I dont see anything here where it has some of the great C1 features like "group by similarity" and other media management options.


Oh, yeah, I don't think I'm willing to drop $500 for something that I used to be able to use for free, just because the company decided to stop letting me use what I've had for years, for both of the cameras I use (Sony and Fujifilm)!... Screw them. I won't ever be giving them any money.

Capture One express Fujifilm was discontinued and folded in into the regular Capture One. The out of box processing of raf is still top notch (at least for my x-t3). There's a subscription-less option.

I have a Lumix camera which doesn't have support for Raw files but apparently you can just use the free Adobe DNG converter and it works well. It should work for your Fuji Raws too.

I thought the same when I got a Fuji, but the issue is support for the X-Trans sensor. Turns out that converting to DNG doesn't change that and software that opens the DNG still needs to understand how to use the data in it.

> It includes native RAW support for Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony and even iPhone ProRAW.

I guess everyone forgot that Pentax still exists.


Pentax sensibly decided to add native DNG capability a long time ago, the raw files work everywhere I've tried them.

(Except DaVinci, which I couldn't get to do anything without freezing for minutes at a time this morning.)


Erf, I do hope they add support soon !

DxO PhotoLab supports RAFs these days, and does not have a subscription model. They have black friday sales, if the RRP seems a bit much.

I've just installed DaVinci and pointed it at my photos from this year and so far it's been frozen for 8 minutes, not initially confidence inspiring.


What platform, what storage and how large is the directory? Might be a difference in experience for people on Windows trying to open N-TB over a NFS share compared to Linux N-GB locally.

That was a Windows laptop, local SSD, about 200gb of raw files (fuji, pentax) from this year so far. Plenty of ram, plenty of spare storage, but no discrete GPU which might have been the issue. I might try it on Linux at some point.

Have you tried Affinity Photo?

Affinity is great for editing but doesn't do the library management stuff that Capture One/Lightroom etc do.

I haven't, but based on the history summarized in this post[0] I'm guessing they will soon force everyone into their subscriptions anyways

This is a massive oversimplification and is not anything even approaching settled science.

Is any science ever "settled"? Regardless, it's a wikipedia page, so of course it's simplified. There are countless citations on the page referring to various published papers, so.. /shrug


On a decent social platform, it shouldn't even matter if their posting sucks or is lazy. If I followed them, I want to see their stuff. If I'm not seeing the posts of the accounts I follow, the site is not worth me using - same if ppl who explicitly followed me aren't seeing my posts.

Is there any site that keeps track of companies/orgs and/or noteworthy people who have left "X"? I've noticed some pretty significant orgs leaving in the recent year or two and have repeatedly wondered if there's some kind of list out there. I mean, it would just be a handy list to show people when I say something like "more and more people are leaving that garbage site" and they want receipts and I'm like... "uh the province of New Brunswick was the latest I saw" >_> I found this list of celebrities in the meantime, at least: https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/twitter-celebr...

That is just like when those US celebs moved to Europe after Trump was elected!

they said network, not internet :)

Oh man, I watched "non-live" earlier today but hearing the live vers with the crowd audio is amazing. So damn good <3

Awesome! As soon as I saw "landmine-sniffing rat" I knew it must be Magawa!! He even has a book! https://www.albertwhitman.com/book/herorat/

Yeah no I totally agree. I feel like I have a strong sense of a person's intelligence and their psychological capacity/abilities. I just passively look for it or analyze it in my interactions with them. But, if I don't myself have a grasp of the subtle abstract layers of complexity "above" a certain level, I can't evaluate another person's strengths in those areas, so I can't sense where they sit compared to others (or myself)!

I also think the more you know about things, the more you can see how well other people have integrated those things into their own psyche and how they employ those things, if that makes sense. Two people might both know a certain physics principle but one may elicit a far deeper and insightful employment of that knowledge than the other, even in casual situations.
