I have tried out darktable a few times, and don't like it. As a point of reference, I use Capture One about 95% of the time, and LightRoom the other 5% of the time.

Aesthetically, the darktable GUI is not as polished as C1 and LR, and is less responsive. In some cases, tools and controls that have fairly standard interface conventions in other imaging software are different in darktable. The UI is generally less intuitive than C1 and LR.

On the technical side it does better, but can't compare to C1 and LR. A lot of the controls are difficult to use, and the effects don't seem as "smooth" as C1 and LR, if that makes any sense. It's also a lot slower, and I'll often make an adjustment and have "working..." show up over the image while it chugs away. And I mean for simple stuff like adjusting levels and exposure, that take effect almost instantly in the other software. To its credit, I don't think there's any effect or feature in C1 or LR that couldn't be achieved in DR, but it would usually be a lot more work.

Another problem I had was that RAW support seems to lag behind C1 and LR quite a bit, especially for cameras with new or unique sensors. I have a FujiFilm with an XTrans sensor, and it took a long time for it to be supported in darktable. On a similar note, it is pretty far behind on things like lens correction.

Overall I just get stuff done faster and easier in C1.

But then again, the events in the movie take place in the fifth century, around 900 years before the first coconuts were known to have been traded in Europe.
I've been a Tech Lead for a year now. I'm still learning but some of the things I've done which I think will help are:

1. Start by setting up the development environment and getting the software you'll be working on to run locally. Then, fix a couple of easy to medium level bug fixes as soon as possible. This is the fastest way to learn what your team is talking about.

1.5 If you don't understand something that's being said at a meeting ask, but don't hijack the meeting, make a note and talk to someone who can explain in more detail.

2. Think at a high-level -- what is the product supposed to be doing, abstract away -- some engineers will talk in code -- which you may not understand early on but interpret what they're saying at a high-level.

4. Be available and approachable to everyone on the team.

5. Understand the impact of a bug fix or a feature -- how much QA effort does it require, what is the operational impact of the work, does it break backward compatibility etc.

6. Participate in product meetings and consider designing any new features as homework so you can better discuss it with the engineering team you're leading.

Good luck!

Edit

Some DO NOTs:

1. Do not complain how bad the code base is. No one likes someone new walking in and saying that at once.

2. That said, understand what technical debt there is and address it incrementally. Don't say "we should re-write XYZ."

3. Do not suggest alternate platforms and frameworks unless is absolutely makes sense -- this is especially true if the team is big and no one knows this new framework besides you. You need your existing team to contribute to and maintain projects.
McAfee study on the prices of stolen data on the Dark Web
Sometimes I get really excited when, in rare circumstances, the bottom line is suddenly tied directly to the quality of a product, and not just the roll-out from the sellers PR machine. Frankly, I didn't expect online reviews to have that much of an effect, but it feels so good to have the money do the talking in this case.
Of all the ratings, IMDB are the most useless of all. Especially for quality movies that have gathered enough of a reputation to be watched by the masses of tv or netflex, who then proceed to rate them low for being "boring".

Pretty much all of those converge on a rating of around 6.2, including some great classics, whilst lots of Hollywood lightweight entertainment has 7+ ratings.

The only good cinema to escape this faith are black & white and non-English speaking movies, because the unwashed masses of IMDB avoid those.

Nobody argues that social sciences are useless because it's impossible to find patterns. People argue that social sciences are useless because they find random pattern in a specific data and don't attempt to reproduce the result. And when attempted, turns out that most of them are just random patterns that only occur in that study data and don't correspond to everyone.
I;m not convinced that the people building stadiums and airports go around looking for cities with extra traffic capacity. They are responding to forces well outside local traffic issues. The fact that they will generate increased traffic is a factor during planning and construction, but it is certainly not in any way a driving force behind the decision to build.
I think number 8 (& nine, because they are heavily related) mean that when higher ups want to blame someone, they should blame you as technical lead (and not individual team members) but when someone needs/is going to be praised make sure it's the team member that deserves it (and not you!). I heavily agree with this.
There's a little more detail in this article imo: http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2015/10/the-many-...

Including the question I was wondering about: do the authors think the historians who have argued medieval Europeans had segmented sleep were therefore wrong, and humans have never slept like that? The answer seems to be "no", but here the explanation gets to be what sounds, to me at least, plausible but a bit speculative,

[The historian Roger] Ekirch combed through centuries of Western literature and documents to show that Europeans used to sleep in two segments, separated by an hour or two of wakefulness. [Author of the present study Jerome] Siegel doesn’t dispute Ekirch’s analysis; he just thinks that the old two-block pattern was preceded by an even older single-block one. “The two-sleep pattern was probably due to humans migrating so far from the equator that they had long dark periods,” he says. “The long nights caused this pathological sleep pattern and the advent of electric lights and heating restored the primal one.”

I found it interesting that his study was done on people living as they did millenia ago, but they were ok wearing fitbits. Tht other big question that pops up in my mind is" What about siesta?

Yes, he is: the insult lies in the use of the `pretentious', 'artsy' and 'pedantic' word and the condescending tone regarding non-Hollywood movie.

When the 880 connector between 980 and the Bay Bridge was rebuilt in 1998, traffic engineers were predicting that it would increase traffic congestion and lengthen almost all trips that used it or passed near it. And it did indeed slightly worsen the traffic conditions in the area compared to the interregnum after it fell down in the Loma Prieta quake in 1989. Traffic is still worse that it would be if CDOT just closed it and turned it into an urban garden or walking path with views or something.

That's not why it took so long to rebuild. The nine year process was the result of the usual corruption, insider jockeying, incompetence, bureaucracy, and lack of urgency from Bay Area government. The objections of CDOT and local residents that ardently opposed the freeway in their neighborhood were ignored and steamrollered as usual. Of course, the local officials, contractors, and CDOT shared and enjoyed the lucre from the $1,200,000,000 we all paid for the three mile connector.

Meanwhile the 1994 earthquake in LA triggered a special exception to the usual legal process where Gov Wilson could take personal responsibility for selecting a design, a contractor, a price, a schedule, and contract terms for rebuilding several segments of LA highway. They were all delivered on time and well under expected budget. Some were rebuilt in a couple months. No one had time to figure out if those could be beneficially abandoned.

And today Oakland and CDOT still cannot make the simple decision to admit error and close the 880 connector.
I would imagine it is not so much about Ansible's general valuation in the industry but about its value for Red Hat (a.k.a -- Red Hat is not buying Ansible for its revenues but for its technology).

Read the contracts and it sounds like you have your heart set on cutting him out, so if your contract allows then do so. If you plan to skip the country to avoid your legal obligation then you must walk your own scoundrels path. Integrity is what you do when no one is watching.

The ones I have seen do interviews both before and after. I sampled 10 kink.com 'films' via the Pirate Bay and none of them had been edited (in terms of removing the intro interviews, I didn't wait for the downloads to complete). It may well be that some providers or the viewer themselves edits these out, and I appreciate that if you are not receptive to such material then perusing it for legal purposes must be distressing. But I hardly think it's fair to blame the media creator for what happens to their content afterwards, given that the various 'porn tube' sites seem to reduce everything to 5 or 10 minute clips of the most explicit bits.

I certainly don't mean to make light of your concerns. I can appreciate that involuntarily dealing with this material is depressing at best and dehumanizing at worst, and have often made the case for censorship and government intrusion in regards to contraband material such as child porn on both legal and moral grounds. However, I am unable to understand your seeming animus towards an individual production company, notwithstanding its prolific output and the exploitative tone of its branding.
The suggestion that a change could increase both consumption and investment is not inconsistent. Economics isn't zero-sum, and if there policy accelerated aggregate expansion it could do both of those things.

OTOH, you complaining initially that the article sells increased investment as a benefit of the policy, and then at the end of your post characterizing the article as "Demand Good, Investment Bad" is a fairly direct contradiction.

That only appears to be the best option if you specify all trips to be made via private automobile. Road bandwidth is more efficient on bike or bus, but people will default to a car if the road is well suited and there is parking at the destination. It's not that the road is useless, it's that it perpetuates demand for driving and so can't solve congestion except by brute force saturation.

It's one of the big shifts in planning thought to get away from a simple engineering problem of moving more cars faster and try to integrate different modes and give land use a more careful impact assessment.
"You don’t need matrix analysis to know that if you tell everyone to wash their hands, infections will go down."

No, but you will need a well designed study or two, maybe a few accidental experiments (situations where a single variable is changed among two randomly selected groups of people), to tell if it's actually true.

And it may be that your hypothesis is incorrect. It may be that telling everyone to wash their hands actually makes infections go up in some specific contexts. I can imagine a couple scenarios where that might be the case. One is the false sense of security of the washing hands message leads to a slightly sloppier application of other protocols such as sterilization of tools or cleaning furniture. Or the means of spreading the message its self, say on plastic posters, could be a breeding ground of airborn bacteria. Sure, these are highly improbable, and there's even more I can't imagine, but I wanted to point out that the original hypothesis isn't as airtight as the author intended... if taken literally.
Wow, any links about Stanford's position on the salary issues? Agree that Stanford putting in so much money (more than YC!!) seems pretty wonky. Perhaps not as bad as Larry Summers blowing billions of Harvard's money on derivatives, though.
I'm so happy that I've read four of the mentioned above - the first three and the "Code complete". Will try to do some more reading in the nearest days.
The previous firm policy of not making follow-on investments had two interesting side effects: signalling risk, and the nature of the relationship with the founders.

You've addressed signalling risk in another response, but I'm curious to hear your thinking about the impact this will have on your ability to have an authentic advisory relationship with founders.

Do you have any concerns that this could make founders dial back their level of authenticity with you? I think there's tremendous value in having founders who are comfortable being completely transparent about the concerns they have.

In the back of founders minds, there could now be a small voice saying "Should I discuss possible future issue X with YC? If we haven't come up with a good answer to X, it could impact the next round. We'd be better off dealing with X after our series C rather than after our series B." But in not having the conversation, tremendous value is lost - good advice might turn it into a non-issue.
What would be interesting is to follow the evolution of big blockbusters on imdb through time. Perhaps I am confused but I think I spotted a pattern where around their release date they have very good ratings and then they trend toward very different ratings. Which feels like the ratings are manipulated during the marketing period.
$2 Photo Found at Junk Store Has Billy the Kid in It, Could Be Worth $5M
I wonder how a route suggesting app, that accounts for traffic, avoids the El Farol Bar (lets call it EFB) problem. EFB essentially is people in the town of El Farol want to have a good time, and they the option of staying at home or going to the one bar the town has. If a lot of them end up at the bar, people would have had a better time staying at home. And if a lot of them stay at home, the bars are not crowded and they'd have had a better time in the bar.

The catch is no one knows in advance who is going to go the bar. It can be shown that no pure strategy can work for EFB.
From your own link you would have seen that Bill successfully founded and sold two companies for 800M and 80M respectively.

Yet apparently none of that matters because his most recent venture was a flop. What I'd do for that track record!
My understanding of this is that you have a highway and a road (with a low speed limit). The highway gets congested if many people use it so they’ll all move slower. If everyone takes the highway, it’ll still be faster than the road, so everyone chooses to take the highway. On the other hand, if everyone spends half their time on the highway and the other half on the road, all of them will be able to travel faster (But there is no incentive to do so).

At Nash equilibrium, the highway is over-utilised while the road is under-utilised. So stripped to the core, this is an example of tragedy of the commons where if every single individual works for their sole interest, they will all lose out and yet nobody has an incentive to make a change.
Don't get the horse before the cart.

The real differentiation you'll need is marketing, network effect, and blind luck.
I don't think it really applies to a packet switched network:
> adding extra capacity to a network when the moving entities selfishly choose their route can in some cases reduce overall performance.

Network frames don't "selfishly choose their route" and are entirely at the whims of the Routers they pass through.

Because of complex routing and suboptimal peering/routing, a "shortcut" could be added that makes it quicker to get from A to X1 but makes it take much longer to get from A to X2
Additional routes (as in "directing packets the right way", not physical routes) would fix this and get the best of both worlds.
As a Red Hat customer I'll be interesting to see how it affects the complete fucking shambles that has been the Satellite 6 rollout, which was supposed to be full Foreman/Puppet integration for provisioning and config management.

Apart from the fact that it's been a shambles, Red Hat have been solidly pushing customers down the puppet route. I expect there will be some grumpy meetings in the next few weeks.

Always the same though. This one might be too big to pass right now but they'll keep trying until something passes. Then something more, then more, then more.

It always works, until people start killing each other - literally - then it resets, and the loop of history starts again.
If driverless cars always for go for the most favorable route for them, they might increase traffic a lot.
Fortunately, it is also probably easier to force computers than people to follow socially optimal routes.

A very important point, and true of anyone holding any form of seniority in a position, but especially as a team lead. Always remain humble and accept that your team can have abilities and understanding beyond yours.

But, as an alternative to 3, and possibly an extension of 4, when you have an idea/experience of a solution to a problem but your team does not, create a dialogue whereby your questioning of their approach allows them to find your solution by themselves. You can pass on skills and techniques you've learnt in a manner where they learn them too rather than being told of the solution. Your team will feel proud of their solution and you can be happy knowing you are cultivating a strong learning environment.

This seems pretty random as usual.

There's an easy test that applies to yourself only though. Go to a place without tv/internet/books (electricity is fine) for a week, where you exercise outdoors and spend time with people.

I always end up sleeping 2-3h more (from 6h regularly to 9h!), wake up earlier, and sleep earlier - and in fact, feel better.

Most of the rest is just the stress inducing work/city life most of us zombies "have" to go through.

The use of plots, of backstories, risk moving the footage from BDSM into the world of kidnappings and outright rape.

Without getting too graphic, putting an actress in a cheerleader outfit is perfectly acceptable in porn, you can even throw in elements of BDSM. But give her the backstory of being kidnapped from her school and forced into sex ... that same BDSM imagery is now a graphic rape.

The same goes for age. Putting an actress in a schoolgirl outfit is one thing, giving her lines about being the the 9th grade (and therefore underage) is very different. Kink knows it's best to avoid scripting.

I once saw a particularly interesting physical manifestation of this paradox (performed I believe by Chris Bishop), where a weight was suspended from two partially elastic ropes, both attached to the ceiling. These two suspending ropes were connected in the middle by another rope. The weight was analogous to the destination, and the ropes were the roads, with the total duration of the route being analogous to the distance of the weight from the ceiling. When we removed the central road (by cutting the connecting rope), the weight paradoxically went up instead of down.

I wish I had a video of this demonstration, it really hammered in the point (for me) that this is a real phenomenon and not just mathematical trickery or electrical weirdness.
