Have you been able to export meta data from iCloud and import it into PhotoPrism? (e.g. custom photo comments)

I personally do not have any photo comments but I suppose the software can handle it. From https://github.com/RhetTbull/osxphotos#command-line-referenc... I think it will support exporting XMP metadata files with photo comments. Then from https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/use-cases/apple/ I think PhotoPrism will correctly import descriptions in XMP files.

Do I understand this correctly in that if the list goes on, it will also show posts with unrelated tags in tag_names? As the filter is only applied to match_count?

So to only get blog posts with matching tags we would need to add a filter „match_count > 0“, right?

Update: I am very excited about EdgeDB :)

Yep, you understand correctly!

  with tag_names := {"angular", "nestjs", "cypress", "nx"},
  select BlogPost {
    title,
    tag_names := .tags.name,
    match_count := count((select .tags filter .name in tag_names))
  }
  filter .match_count > 0
  order by .match_count desc;

The voice reminds me very strongly of the one in the genius game „There is no game“ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Is_No_Game:_Wrong_Dimens...)

I‘ve been fascinated by this film for years now and highly recommend it for anyone who likes artistic and a bit surreal sci-fi films. It‘s one of the few films that somehow deeply touches me, where I can fully immerse.

Off topic, but: would you mind telling which software you are using for the photogrammetry?

We're using Metashape and Reality Capture. We used to use Bentley, but they've got unethical business practices so we're avoiding them now.

Metashape has really good licensing, and their software runs on Linux and is easy to integrate into processing pipelines, also they've got a big featureset.

Reality Capture was super expensive, though that has seemingly changed now that they're bought by Epic, so we might reconsider our strategy there. They make better use of hardware, making them faster, and their resulting models look great. Their licensing was so expensive that we just couldn't afford switching all of our processing to RC.

> We used to use Bentley, but they've got unethical business practices

Go on. I'm curious now.

You can google a bit about Bentley Connect charges, we were not the only ones who called their sales reps in a panic.

If you can get a good deal with them it's probably fine, and we only talked to nice people there. But we're still on limited runway, we can't deal with random $20k invoices, even if a nice sales rep reverts the charge when called.

Having worked at a company with an identical premise, Reality Capture (because it's faster) or Bentleys

Nice! where did you work?

I second this. Since I use a split keyboard with a trackball placed in the middle my hand and right arm problems are all gone.

I use a 60% keyboard and that solved it for me, reaching for the mouse seems to cause all of my issues.

Errr... reading your points I presume you've never really done that (notifying a service provider).

> Why don't you contact police or the site owner instead?

Police? Seriously? My police here in germany or the italian police? What do you think will happen? Right: nothing. Site owner? If you can tell me the site owner from an IP... I will do that.

> You risk prosecution.

By telling a service provider that they host malicious content and should do sth. about it? Now that's an interesting view.

> If it's a brazen criminal using their own host [...] No customer support required.

The customer support was the only way to contact the provider. It doesn't matter if they are housing or hosting malicious content. They are at least partly responsible, especially if someone is telling them.

You are trying to intimidate a provider into messing with someone else's site, which amounts to hacking or worse.

... and I always wonder how healthy an open source project or at least the teams’ community spirit is when there are that many open issues.

The saltstack quality/release cycle may be the cause of some of the pileup.

I experienced a minor issue with saltstack recently and submitted a new issue. Turns out the saltstack devs had already addressed the issue, but the fix was staged for release weeks later. Between the time I reported my issue and the release of 2017.7.3 this week, my issue was marked as related to a half dozen reports of the behavior in different circumstances.

While regression testing is a good thing your infrastructure software is a Good Thing, the process of staging known bug fixes will tend to multiple the number of open issues as multiple users report their findings.

FWIW, Python has 6403 open issues. The oldest was created on 2001-06-14 .

And the problem is that Facebook has dozens of scores about our personality which allow them to individually steer and control people. What you share is not what all your "friends" see. They see what Facebook decides to show. Plus what else Facebook decides is helping to keep your friends happy with the platform. Facebook is not like Wikipedia, a platform for all to freely and transparently share, no it's only purpose is to bind us to the platform and get willing ad targets.

I couldn't agree more - one search engine is a terrible thing. But for other reasons. It's amazing to see how in other areas people complain about monopolies but when it comes to our window to the digital world, most of us seem to be fine with it. One US monopoly that dictates what should be important for us, filters what we see based on secret algorithms, forces us to "optimize" our websites in this and that way along their "standards". Google has good technology but we should wake up and see they are not the altruists they like to tell everyone.
