Just because it doesn't specifically mention your wife by name or the last city you visited doesn't mean it can't be applied to your horrendous workflow above. But is isn't my scenario. I just said that, Sherlock. Read the words above. Why bring it up to convince me of something? I find it hard to believe anyone would set out to convince you of anything. The discussion isn't about you though, it's about file system versus database. yep, but since he doesn't understand it and likes to argue, he turns it into how *he* works and how everyone needs to work *his* way. |

O/T: Nibbling on an Apple
On 2013.08.06 07:41 , Dudley Hanks wrote:
Well, as much as I hate to admit it, I've taken a small step over to the dark side: I've picked up an iPad Mini... Like most Apple devices I've worked with, it seems this one does nothing extraordinarily well, but it is rather versatile. I purchased the device thinking that it would be a nice, portable audio recording / editing platform, giving me the ability to record interviews and then do a bit of clean up work regardless of my location. Ditto for video. Unfortunately, the memory limitations on these portables leaves them a bit lacking when it comes to working with large files, as does the hardware used. The iPad mini comes with up to 64 GB of memory. If you skimped and bought the 16 GB v., then it is not Apple to blame but you. A DVD movie is less than 5 GB and the "digital editions" for portable devices are far less than that. Even an HD recording (1080p) would come to less than 10 GB / hour. So the 64 GB v. of the iPad would give you well over 5 hours of recording time. At 720 p, about 3X that amount. -- "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of **** by the clean end." -Unknown |

There are times when immediate access to content is required. If the Internet line goes down, production should not have to come to a halt. I was specifically thinking of C&C operations, where the entire set of machine instructions is downloaded. It is also downloaded for review, for possible transmission corruption. Uh, ok, but that really doesn't fit the entire "what to do when the power goes out" content... Also, you are now talking about when the internet line goes down, not when power goes out, so it seems we've strayed a bit here... Look up "metaphor" in your dictionary. -- PeterN |

You can't suggest how to make things easier, unless you understand the user's needs. One size does not fit all. True but theres's a reason why Apple and other companies limit their product range even though there's close to 7 billion people on ther planet. Apple only have a two differbnt size ipads, and even samsung only have 3 or 4 size phone/notebooks/tablets even cameras to choose from rather than 7 billion we might be individuals but most have similar objectives. Which is one of the reasons why, with the exception of my iPhone, I haven't purchased Apple products, but have purchased Apple stock. -- PeterN |

Turns out that one of its synonyms isn't "changing the subject" or "moving the goalpost". -- Sandman[.net] |

You can't suggest how to make things easier, unless you understand the user's needs. One size does not fit all. Well, using a database is most certainly a superset of using the filesystem. Everything you do in your file system can be done with the database approach and more. So generally speaking you most certainly cold make the claim that a solid database application would make it easier for everyone, even if they currently can't see any use outside of their current system. Think of it as Adobe Bridge vs Adobe Lightroom. In Bridge, what you see and handle are files in the filesystem, while in Adobe Lightroom, you manage the database that in turn point to files kept inside the Lightroom Catalog structure that you don't have to deal with at any point. Yup. But, my point is that one cannot design a useful database, without understanding the user's needs. -- PeterN |

Just the opposite. tony Cooper says how he works. You say how "most people' work, without any documentation, or room for variables. -- PeterN |

You are displaying the lack of reasoning ability I thought. Thank you for not disappointing. -- PeterN |

And why is this supposed content on the device that may have the power go out instead of in a medium that isn't susceptible to that, like... paper? OK! That was a whoosh, but I'll explain. There are times when immediate access to content is required. If the Internet line goes down, production should not have to come to a halt. I was specifically thinking of C&C operations, where the entire set of machine instructions is downloaded. It is also downloaded for review, for possible transmission corruption. that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic, but if production were to come to a halt if the power or internet went out (i see you're already changing things, hard to keep up), then you need to have backup systems in place so that production doesn't come to a halt. not doing so is negligent. it's not rocket science. get a ups and an alternate network connection. there are routers that will do an automatic fallback to the secondary network connection if the main one fails. some even can use both at the same time for added throughput. Irrelevant. -- PeterN |
