• Ask HN: What Are Your Hobbies?

  Photography - Specifically, virtual focus synthetic aperture photography. I used to commute via the South Shore Railroad to Chicago, and had about 50 minutes each way with my laptop. Most days, I'd be processing photos. Some are aligned in a focal plane, some are aligned other ways. Here's an old gallery on Flickr.[2] I got into this after seeing a demo of Marc Levoy's work at Stanford, where the demo showed a... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• I just can't believe that they don't know how it really works. This is just way too dim.

• Course or training for shooting panoramas

  Adobe's Ps/Lr photomerge works for most folks, but can be kind of primitive vs. Dedicated stitching software if there are stitching errors you need to correct. If it fails you, you may want to also grab something like Hugin (open source). Source: about 1 year ago

• Stereocubemaps in Oculus Quest 2

  Not a perfect answer but If you convert your cubemaps into top/bottom pano splits you can view them using most of the vr viewer apps on the store. You can do this with hugin. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Which photographers do you admire?

• Best website to write a rulebook for ttrpgs

  Affinity Designer (https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/) is a good choice for doing layouts, although Scribus (https://www.scribus.net/) may be all that you need depending on the complexity of your layouts. Source: about 1 year ago

• Poster for the Church of Galactic Truths

  Done in Serif Affinity Designer as a learning execise I guess. Source: about 1 year ago

• Easy software to bubble part darwings?

  You'll need inkscape. It's free at inkscape.org. Affinity Designer can do the same job. It's $70 at https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/. Source: about 1 year ago

• PDF viewer/editor for Mac

  If you want to do very sophisticated edits, you can actually use Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer to edit PDF files (but they are obviously terrible readers). Source: about 1 year ago
