![]() This sort of thing could come across deeply naff, or a way to create a social network no-one asked for. These are shown in a simple Activity Feed screen. Within in the app you can change how often the image switches, from 15 seconds to 24 hours, and folks you have invited to add photos can comment on and 'like' your pics. They can use the app, or a bespoke email address – handy for any relatives who are not big smartphone users. Aura says you have 'unlimited' space for media, and the app lets you invite other people to send their own photos to the frame. You use the Aura app to choose photos to add, and the whole process is pretty quick and seamless. The Mason Luxe is constantly connected to Aura’s servers, which dish out photos as required. It doesn’t operate with a chunk of memory that you fill when photos are in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi range. So how do you actually get your photos on the Aura Mason Luxe? Here’s where things get a bit interesting. (Image credit: Future) How the Aura Mason Luxe works This semi-gloss approach seems to offer the best balance of color 'pop' and practicality. While glare is possible, you won’t see your reflection in the Aura Mason Luxe. The screen’s top layer has a semi-matte finish rather than the full matte expected, but we only noticed this when trying to pick up glare off a nearby window. There’s brightness loss when viewed from an angle, so that little extra hit of display power is unlikely to be distracting if, say, the Aura Mason Luxe is in your peripheral vision while watching TV. However, this is where one aspect of LCD displays usually considered a 'negative' becomes a benefit. It sits half-way between a printed photo and a Smart Display. It would be neat to be able to adjust the relative brightness level, as the Aura Mason Luxe can look slightly bright compared to some rivals. If you turn the lights off to go to bed, the Aura Mason Luxe will enter a 'sleep' mode to avoid unwanted power use and glow in the corner of your living room. The brightness of the screen also adjusts automatically based on the amount of ambient light in the room.

You can search for adjustment tools, and you can limit your search to favorite tools (those you’ve marked with a star) or tools that you’ve already worked with. (You don't get similarly helpful clues in Adobe Lightroom, though you do in Lightroom Classic.) Each time you open a folder containing images, the program detects the camera and lens used for the photos therein, and it prompts you to download a module for the combination so that PhotoLab can optimize the image based on the equipment used. Across the bottom of the program window is a filmstrip view of the images you're currently working with, replete with subtle icons indicating whether the photo has been processed, whether camera and lens modules are installed for the image, and a star rating. ![]() In Customize mode there are also buttons for cropping, forcing parallel lines, and a neutral color picker. The Standard option adjusts tonality and noise as well as lens optics, while the Optical option only adjusts the lens issues, leaving the rest up to you. You choose between Standard, Optical Corrections, and No Corrections, with a sample image showing the result of each choice. The software automatically applies the fixes as soon as you load a photo. Compare shows you what your photo looks like without DxO's corrections (regrettably, there's no way to compare two different shots side-by-side, as you can in Lightroom). I like DxO's top button-bar options-one click for full image-size viewing, fit on screen view, full-screen view, and side-by-side comparison views. DxO makes Lightroom round-tripping an option in PhotoLab as well as in PureRAW. ![]() That's really all you need, but Adobe's Lightroom Classic offers more flexibility with modes for sharing, printing, maps, and books, as well. The latter is where you do all your editing and tuning. The program interface has two modes: PhotoLibrary and Customize. The dark gray interface of PhotoLab has a clean, subdued look. On first run, you see a welcome panel, called the Hub, that informs you about what's new in the program and points you to help and the online DxO store. Speaking of Adobe's app, at installation, you can choose to install the DxO software as a plug-in for Lightroom Classic (the newer version of Lightroom for nonprofessionals doesn't support plug-ins, so it's only available for Classic). The installer weighs in at 810MB, which isn't outrageous when you consider that Lightroom Classic is about 2GB. PhotoLab is available for up-to-date versions of Windows 10, Windows 11 (64-bit), and macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina) or later. You can see details of what's in each edition on this PhotoLab support page. Essential still gets you the excellent raw conversion, Smart Lighting, the Spot-Weighted mode, the Microcontrast tool, and local adjustment features. That version also includes some pro features, such as the ability to manage camera-calibrated ICC profiles, custom palettes, and editable presets. To get some of DxO PhotoLab's coolest features, such as Prime de-noising and ClearView, you need the Elite version, which is what we tested for this review. ![]() Upgrading from PhotoLab 3 or 4 costs $54.99 for Essential and $79.99 for Elite. PhotoLab is available at two pricing levels, neither of which requires a subscription, Essential ($139) and Elite ($219).
![]() Next time someone wants to understand what happens inside your code, all you have to do is point them to the documentation. Taking that extra time to write a proper description of what you worked on will save huge amounts of time in the future. ![]() When that day comes, you will not remember so vividly what you wrote and why.Īnd if you do remember, there may be some edge cases or specific uses which may not be clearly apparent. No matter what you are developing, chances are that some day you or one of your colleagues will have to revisit it. It is the least thought about detail that can make the most difference in the future. Documentation is pretty much left out of the equation. When developing a feature that needs to be completed within a certain time frame, rarely do we have a moment to stop everything and focus on documenting our code.Īpart from designing and writing the code itself, we also need to undergo code reviews, automation tests, and add unit tests (to name a few things). The main reason code goes undocumented is because of time. In this article, I’ll argue why documenting your code will lead to becoming a better developer, and will contribute to being a great team member. But, when it comes to documenting or commenting your code, there is no simple catchphrase.ĭocumentation should be as important to a developer as all other facets of development KISS, DRY, SOLID… and so on and so forth. There are a plethora of acronyms when it comes to software development. ![]() Yes, you may think what lemon juice is doing in mac and cheese, but it’s a really great addition. Spices and seasonings for cheese sauce: paprika, garlic and onion powder (you could also use fresh garlic and cook it in butter for 30 seconds), cayenne pepper for some gentle heat, Dijon mustard, AND lemon juice. ![]() I don’t recommend adding just Gruyere, sharp taste of cheddar is also needed in this sauce. You can use just cheddar if you can’t find Gruyere but I would really recommend adding it – it adds a wonderful flavor.
![]() Right now, you can pick up the first-gen Pixel Stand for $40 or less - $29 right now on Woot - which dramatically changes the dynamic. Of course, time has marched on, and the original Pixel Stand has seen quite a few markdowns. Admittedly, the new Pixel Stand does charge much faster. ![]() Other than that difference in speed, the two generations of Pixel Stand work almost identically, and even have the same suggested retail price of $79. In our testing, we’ve found that the second generation Pixel Stand can boost the Pixel 6 Pro’s battery quite quickly - from under 10% to full in about two hours. In practice, we’ve seen the new Pixel Stand charge a low battery at a max speed of about 19W, while the old one charges at around 8W. Under ideal conditions, the second-generation Pixel Stand can charge the Pixel 6 Pro at a rate of up to 23W, while the original version caps out at 10W. However, this means it now generates more heat and needs a fan system. The primary change between the two years is a faster charging rate. To do this, they packed Pixel phones full of features that are (arbitrarily) exclusive to the Pixel Stand, such as Home controls and Photo Frame.Ĭoinciding with the Pixel 6 series, which offers significantly faster charging than any previous Pixel phone, Google introduced a second generation Pixel Stand last year. While it’s easy to say that all wireless chargers are the same - you set your phone down, and it charges, no messing with cables - Google made the Pixel Stand to be different. Three years later, that original charger still holds up and is now a better deal than its sequel, even for Pixel 6 owners. Plus, downloading and applying the images is easy, meaning you can quickly and easily transform the look of your phone.With the debut of the Pixel 3, Google launched a first-party wireless charger, the Pixel Stand.

If you’re unable to consult a professional IRL, Madison Reed, a salon brand that makes its own line of hair dye, offers free color consultations via video chat, as well as a quiz to help DIY dyers find their perfect shade. Cherry red will look vastly different on a golden blonde versus an ash brown, for example, and won’t have the same results at all.” And if you have curly or coarse hair, you’ll want to look for a moisturizing dye formula without harsh chemicals in order to avoid drying or damaging your hair. “You need to consider the type and texture of the hair, and most importantly, the current color. “People think that what’s on the box is what they’ll get, but there are so many factors to consider when formulating hair color,” Alberto Swanson, Aveda color expert and executive director of hair color sales and education at Neill, tells Bustle. This is especially key because at-home dye - and the photos it advertises on the box - can be misleading. “If you're attempting to color your own hair at home, I recommend consulting with your personal colorist first regarding the formulation and hair color product,” says Lin.

And depending on the type of blonde, either there’s breakage or a lot of orange or yellow bands.”Īll of that said, don’t panic - or throw your box dye away. “Most brunettes have issues with almost black bands, redheads tend to turn too brown and dark. “People commonly overlap too much, causing ‘bands,’” she tells Bustle. “Some people think they want black when they actually want dark brown, and others think they want to go platinum blonde when they just want soft, natural highlights,” she explains.īesides going with an imperfect color match, Lorena Martinez, a colorist at Maxine Salon in Chicago stylists, says that another common mistake is accidentally dyeing more than one’s uncolored roots, which creates a visible line in the hair. “The most common mistakes made by ‘kitchen beauticians’ were uneven application, choosing the wrong tone, and choosing the wrong level of color,” she says, adding that at-home-dyers also tend to opt for too much or too little of their desired hue, leaving then with an unplanned shade as a final result. “Throughout the past year, we've had many at-home dye jobs go wrong,” Kelly Lin, colorist at and co-founder of Salon SCK in New York City, tells Bustle. That’s all the more reason to finally learn how to dye your roots properly. Perhaps you’ve opted to box dye it yourself, as countless color enthusiasts did during the lockdown - only to return to the salon in dire need of a correction. You likely know the feeling: Your roots are overgrown yet you’re stuck at home, unable to get a salon appointment in time to hide the unwanted color trickling into your strands. for Boone, Lee, Ogle and Winnebago counties.

![]() The books in this list are solely for advanced Java developer who has at least 4 to 6 years of Java working experience under their belt. ![]() I receive a lot of emails about the recommendation of the best books to learn JVM internals and garbage collections from experienced Java programmers, and hence I decided to write about this post to share some of the best books on JVM internals and Java performance, Garbage collection, and memory management in general. Once you know the fundamentals, you can easily apply the more advanced concepts. It is also the most up-to-date reference because Java and JVM are kept changing, especially after Java 10. Unfortunately, there are not many good books to learn about JVM internals and their different components, but fortunately, we have an excellent Java Virtual Machine specification to learn fundamentals. This trend was not so strong in the last decade, but with more and more focus on concurrency, performance, and scalability, Java developer is exploring JVM internals, Garbage collection, and Performance tuning in more detail. In the last couple of years, I have seen a trend of many Java developers wants to learn more and more about JVM internals and how Java Virtual Machine and its different component works. |
