Until the 4K TVs become popular, 1080p is the limit your camera can successfully show to you.
There are other ways to make images viewable other than looking at them on a monitor, and plenty of reasons for wanting more pixels than can be displayed on most monitors.
but now we have the olympic event where they get to use counterweights
Yes. I'm not sure why that's such a big deal...
spring cam mechanisms
No; there are no compound bow events at the Olympics. It's all recurve.
peep sights(!) and drop scales
Peep sights aren't allowed. I don't know what a drop scale is.
and the basic event which runs just 33 feet
No, all four events are at 70 metres. That's 220 feet.
where it is entirely possible to gain a gold medal.
Of course it's entirely possible to get a gold medal. The whole point is that there's only one, and someone gets to win it.
I *PRACTICE* AT NINETY FEET. WITH AN ENGLISH LONGBOW
Okay,
(and the trainer at the club across the river wonders how I don't tear the shit out of my shoulder muscles every week, it's because I've been shooting bow since I was FOUR).
we get it,
I could piss the basic event with my bow on a *bad* day.
Yes, that was the "terrible idea" bit I meant. If every film was nothing but smooth, slow pans, interpolation would work fine. As soon as you put any kind of movement in there though, you've got the potential for all kinds of glitches that ruin it (for me).
Study: Police Body-Cams Reduce Unacceptable Use of Force
Where has the "unacceptable" word come from, which is peppered throughout the article? Isn't it enough to simply report, without resorting to subjective qualifications such as this, that:
Data from the Rialto experiment shows police officers are deterred [...] from using force in general
No it didn't. It started when tech started, at which point males and females had already been different from each other, on average, for millions of years. Might as well talk about the mammoth-hunting gender gap.
Gender discrimination, now, that's something else. But I don't think that started at Stanford in 1994, either.
They are not "pushing it forward." They are pushing it back.
It's a spatial analogy. When you push something [back], it moves further away from you. When you bring it forward, it moves towards you. So when you push back a deadline, it moves further away from you, into the future.
It covers a wide range of topics: the 4.5k€ of donations received so far, moving distro infrastructure from GitHub to GitLab, progress on LoginKit (which replaces systemd's logind), fraud accusations, logo discussions, and few more important points.

However I agree that shooting with those modern bows is just a joke.
What about the runners with their modern shoes? Or the javelin throwers with their modern javelins?
they're - there - their
Thanks, I feel better now.
Everyone should watch this movie just as an act of patriotism.
Ah, yes - tell everyone what they should do. That's the American way!
I'm not even going to watch it as an act of piratism.
Oh, I see. You don't know what a peep sight is.

you're awesome.

And ... whoosh. Just trying to lighten the mood.
At 48Hz, you’re going to pull out more details at 48Hz from the scene than at 24Hz, both in terms of motion and spatial detail.
Motion yes, but spatial? I don't get that bit.
[at 24Hz] We’re no longer receiving a signal that changes fast enough to allow the super-sampling operation to happen.
Err, what? You're not supersampling if the data has changed between the two samplings.
To answer the question posed in the headline:
Why movies look weird at 48fps
Because it's not what we're used to when we go to the movies. That's all.
It's not about flicker, it's about the smoothness of motion.
What's a pan-table when it's at home?
Unfortunately the modern director/camera personnel consider themselves above mathematical tools when they can "fix it in the studio" (or not).
I can't quite get what you're getting at. Are you saying we should continue to shoot at 24fps and fix the juddery pans in post?
Terrible idea.
Now now, let's not go bringing facts into this.
Halt and Catch Fire.
Sensationalism sells
But on the flipside, everyone also loves videos of kitties, but for some reason the mainstream news is never interested.

Tech's Gender Gap Started At Stanford
No it didn't. It started when tech started, at which point males and females had already been different from each other, on average, for millions of years. Might as well talk about the mammoth-hunting gender gap.
Gender discrimination, now, that's something else. But I don't think that started at Stanford in 1994, either.
By 1994, the gender gap in tech was already well-established;
Is that BC or AD? Because I suspect the former is probably true, as well.

The regulator complained that people reading TripAdvisor Italy were unable to distinguish between genuine and fake reviews posted on the site.
So how is TripAdvisor supposed to do it?
I am sure Hitler did not like The Great Dictator
Didn't stop him watching it twice, or so the story goes. Before that, at least, he was a fan of Chaplin's.
...no.
Next question?
It seems like jammers are bad because you can't control the range of their effectiveness.

For the uninitiated... why?
