THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 1)

What’s wrong with this is a totally normal thing right guys??

right guys???

I haven’t really tried Rust, but my initial impression of the language is slightly negative due to the way they picked the syntax for it and the amount of fanboys the language has. But overall I don’t really care if the Linux kernel starts to accept code in Rust or not.

why do you think that’s cursed?
that’s literally my default facial expression.

I think I’m going to drop this for now. I was a one-off brain exercise, anyway.

A random question to be answered if one of you knows how image processing work in a camera. Imagine there is a 12 MP camera sensor, but you want more than 12 MP. So you get several of those and put them all on the same apparatus. Is it possible to use all those camera sensors at once when taking a photo to combine all the images together and get a higher MP/quality image? How does that work?

Presumably it can work with suitable lenses so that the other sensor takes a picture that’s “next to” the other image. With just 2 sensors you end up with a rectangle image, so you really should use 4 I think as then you can just pretend that those 4 sensors are one bigger sensor in practice. That’s my very amateur understanding of how it could work, someone who knows optics and camera sensors in detail might know something different that could be done.

Otherwise, I guess one could use a set of mirrors so that they all capture the same exact image and then reprocess the overall picture. I just don’t know if that would increase the MP.

My understanding is that that would always result in reduced light, if you use mirrors to split the light, you literally split the light so each sensor gets less light. That’s fine if you are in direct sunlight but in a normally lit room that likely results in worse images. Maximising the light reaching the sensor is the reason why DSLR have a light splitting mirror that flips out of the way when you take an image so that no light is split off and all of it reaches the sensor for maximum image quality.

Was there a rhyme or reason for who you chose to mention?
