I have had dozens of cameras but the Sony RX100V is my favorite camera I have ever owned: - tiny, fits in any pocket - has an excellent pop-up viewfinder - starts shooting faster than opening an app - goes down to f1.8, ideal for low depth of field, fast moving subjects, low light - the back screen flips up so I can shoot 90 degrees to the subject, ideal for street photography - I can transfer photos wirelessly to my iPhone for editing this camera is 9 years old but I cannot find anything better on the market today

Here's a little tool I built to design Flexoki 2.0. I wanted artistic control over ramping while still interpolating colors programmatically with Oklab. In the future it could be used to create more hues and emulate watercolor pigment types within the Flexoki color space.

Flexoki 2.0 introduces 88 new colors that feel like watercolor pigments on paper. This is a continuation of my attempt to bring the feeling of analog color to digital emissive screens. Flexoki 1.0 only provided the a range of values for the grayscale colors. What I have been working to solve since then is how to expand the palette to a full range of values for every color, without desaturating the pigment effect. I'm very happy with how this turned out. Flexoki is open source under the MIT license, and already available for most text editors, terminals, and many other apps. Flexoki 2.0 makes it into a more capable color system for UIs and more complex projects. stephango.com/flexoki

You built a house on someone else's land, and then they tore it down. Build a house on your own land. From there you can create roads, bridges, tunnels to other people's land. On the web land is infinite. You can make your own land.

The accounting tool Bench shut down with no warning 3 days before the end of the year. They had raised $110m in venture capital. The app is no longer accessible. There will be a way to export your data, but it's not available yet. File over app is not just for individuals.

Obsidian has completed a second independent audit by the security firm Cure53. The report finds that incremental updates since Obsidian 1.5.3 maintained the highest degree of attention to security, and that no new vulnerabilities were introduced. https://obsidian.md/blog/cure53-second-client-audit/ Particular emphasis was placed on hardening the Web viewer plugin during its development process, to ensure it would pass our strict security standards. We're proud to report that the Cure53 team reviewed the resolutions and concluded that their recommendations have been properly followed. We make Obsidian so we can capture our own private thoughts and ideas. Independent audits help us ensure that our code and procedures meet the highest security standards. We will continue working with industry-leading security firms to provide comprehensive coverage and transparency towards this commitment.
