As another photographer, remember exotic places are always tempting and can be very fun, but travel doesn't make good photos. You make good photos, and you can do it close to home.

So if you want to take beautiful photos of tigers you do have to find tigers, but you also have to be able to take beautiful photos. The tiger won't solve that for you.

(Now, if you're already a great photographer, good enough to sell your works, then you have the skills, so by all means devote yourself to pursuing subjects)

Haskell is a complex hybrid. TypeClasses can't always be resolved to concrete statically sized types, Haskell does RTS Magic for you when this happens. Rust throws a compiler error in this case.

Trying to cross international borders legally with a firearm for self-defense is really difficult if not impossible. If you talk to Overlanders or international ocean cruisers, almost none of them carry weapons. Trying to sneak or bribe your way across a border with a weapon is a pretty serious crime.

My understanding has it that in practice "the people" means roughly "all citizens and residents of the US", not all people anywhere. You can disagree with the courts over what the words mean, but do so deliberately.
Monetizing was Apple's success, but in the early iPhones, I'd argue it was a lot of carry over from iTunes. Apple forced you to have an Apple ID, and associated with the Apple ID meant they could seamlessly sell you things and charge you for it. At the time, no one else had this position and it made a huge impact for the iPhone as a successful device in a rapidly changing landscape (phone as phone -> phone as device to buy from carrier/provider -> phone as device to buy from marketplace).

Also: "none of the original competitors even survived"? Are you talking about tech like Sidekick here? Samsung/LG were big players in early Android, and they're obviously still around. There's a huge amount of discussion around BlackBerry, Nokia (Symbian), and Windows - but to say that none of the original competitors even survived feels hyperbolic.

We already have geothermal cooling in the northeast. The very rich in New England drill holes into the ground and send the house warm air into the ground at one hole and then return air for another hole. Works unbelievably well. I can't tell you why but it feels like cool mountain air and not just A/C.

I really hope this works. It could be a huge answer to LARGE areas that require heat.

It's a good question, I'm not sure I could give a confident answer, as the boundary is blurry to me.

I did have, for most of my life since childhood, what I would feel confident calling strong ADD indicators. The two psychiatrists I've spoken with agree with me, and while I didn't get this deep into the conversation with them, my personal feeling is that like many things it's a spectrum[1], that all humans are at least somewhere on that spectrum.

I did struggle to maintain a job and a home prior to being medicated, and since have been gradually moving towards a life that's normal and happy for me.

YMMV.

You're correct in the legal sense, but there is also the moral/philosophical aspect to it. Here's what the US Declaration of Independence had to say on the matter:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

This is the moral/philosophical aspect. (I consider privacy to be one component of liberty, but expect it's not a universally-held view).

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

This is the legal aspect.

So it depends on which you look at. In my comment above I was referring to the former. And specifically, my argument was based on that laid out at the very beginning of one of the country's most important founding documents, which I hope would carry some weight with those US citizens who believe in the moral principles on which their country is purportedly based.

That would be why I don't buy software that often, at least for things like this. There is nothing, beyond fear, that prevents a commercial software package from also providing sources.
This whole "spectrum" thing is nonsense. Classifying people in such a grossly simplified way is like dividing the brain into "left" and "right" which was only some eye-grabbing stunt which totally misses the essence of the issue. What matters in constructive work is the ability to present one's ideas clearly, coherently and convincingly, not the habit of hanging out with people and keeping your mouth open all day. I think somehow a lot of concepts get these two things mixed together. A lot of people are absolutely fantastic in communicating their ideas, engaging in conversations and contributing their unique insight in a manner that makes everybody else get what she's trying to convey in no time. However such people might not be the type who parties all day long outside of work, and might instead enjoy reading or creating something on her own while idle. I don't see the least bit of problem in that and I think those people will well succeed in business settings, in fact they can well achieve greater success than those who only talk and don't reflect. I'd even argue that every person who has achieved something must have spent a lot of time on her own, learning and reflecting upon various things, instead of wasting her time in trivial social activities all day long.

Now, what we usually call "introverts" are people who can't express their thoughts well, who sometimes can't even pronounce words cleanly, loudly and with confidence when ideas are needed. They tend to be quiet at formal group settings and say nothing at all even though they might have already thought of something. That's really just a lack of ability (totally acquirable) instead of "personality trait" or whatsoever. The type of person I mentioned in the previous paragraph also don't necessarily enjoy talking all day long, but they make a hell of a talker when the time is right. So, differentiating people based on whether they "enjoy being together with others all the time" is just such a totally laughable and nonsensical concept. And to say people should "act like" an "extrovert" is just some other oversimplification BS. Act like a pro who can present ideas expertly, not a brat who only knows to party all day and crack irrelevant "jokes".

What those real "introverts" need is indeed some help in getting themselves at least able to express their thoughts with clarity and communicate with others in a group setting. However, to say that successful CEOs etc. are such "introverts" is really a gross mischaracterization and something totally missing the core of the issue.
The US is behind on charging infrastructure, largely because gas is so ::cough:: subsidized ::cough:: cheap.

Superchargers are, more or less, the only game in town. There's apps that tell you where other types of charges are though, like ChargePoint stations.
There are some things it's not worth arguing because the facts have already been well presented and at this point anyone arguing to the contrary has deliberately chosen to ignore those facts. Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya. Climate change is not real. Jet fuel can't melt steel beams. JFK was killed by a magic bullet. The Holocaust never happened. Snowden is a terrorist and a treasonous traitor.

Does anyone really still have the time or energy to argue with a birther? Or a Holocaust denier? There's no evidence supporting their point of view, so why is it up to me to have to prove them wrong? Every reasonable person already accepts that what the NSA was doing is wrong. You can't hold the simultaneous opinions that Snowden was a traitor who should be punished and that the NSA was wrong for conducting illegal wiretaps.

I would actually argue that it's not wasting time to insult them, it's wasting time arguing with them. If you try to prove them wrong, they're going to engage you in their nonsense, because their mind is already made up. If you insult them, they're more likely to just leave you alone. But no matter what, you're not going to change their minds.
That is my least favorite argument.
What a terrible vision of humanity all around, and I certainly would not envy the negative attention from trolls. But this line from the statement really stands out to me:

I can't think of a more entitled statement to come from a "business owner." You do not deserve to have your business coddled and protected. Least of all from your customers. This is certainly a case of a special little snowflake.

It's a shame there aren't more "Modula" derived modern languages, rather than trying to force C into being a higher level language.

Java, especially at the 1.1 mark, felt like some kind of crippled version of Borland's Pascal/Delphi + a UCSD P-system VM (dressed up to look like C++).

Microsoft for C# hired the language designer from Borland.

The Go team includes a Uni of Zurich guy, and at least decided to use a declaration syntax (when variable types aren't inferred) more like Pascal.

Start with a language that wasn't a shiv with a broken handle in the first place to build applications.

It's a shame Eiffel never took off instead of the wretched C++, no, this time for sure, Java... (not, that's not it, either - lather, rinse, repeat) lineage.

(C was vastly preferable to assembly in the late 80s / early 90s, but it's time to let it go, and its syntax/semantics, people)

Irony: I like the unix philosophy of composing processes in a functional pipeline, which is totally lost in the era of monolithic java crud, but that is another huge tangent.

In terms of number of nodes, complexity of the arrangement of nodes, and amount of computation performed by each node, even a small biological brain is incalculably more complicated than a top ANN.
I, too, kind of like it. Conceptually to me, it's a media player and store and that doesn't seem like it's doing "too much." Splitting out iBooks made sense. Splitting out device sync makes a ton of sense and I think you could have a headless homesharing system as well. But as a media player, it's not bad, I don't need skins and visualizations and such.

Where I think it is weak though is it's meta data format, it's some structured unified file that is opaque. As your media library grows things slow down. I'm somewhat confident that it can be corrupted but I have limited visibility in to how it's corrupted and less in to how to fix it. Thing is, people have gigantic media collections, I'd think something like sqlite could fix it. Along with that, as it has morphed over the years, there is this divide as to where the data lives. Like your podcast subscriptions can be duplicated in the cloud (makes sense so you can pull them on your phone) It's not super clear where the data really lives or where the canonical source of truth should be for it.
It does not look like your target market, but I imagine this would be ideal for pet/valuable tracking. Put it in a collar or bike seat and if your fido goes for a stroll and does not come back you can search much faster with an easy drive down the road. Same thing to help find a stolen bike.

If the transmitter could be inductively charged in a dog crate or where I park my bike -- it would be very convenient too. Ping time could be much slower, even once a minute would be plenty fast. Appears you could get 24 hours transmit and gps without too much trouble in a pretty small package.

I agree with you, and yes, F# does help you write safer code. My main objection is with people claiming that NREs cannot happen in F#, which is simply incorrect - it sure happened to me when I was learning some F# and tried some interop (and you're not going out of your way in doing interop, using some external library or what have you). Which is fine I guess, but I think it's important to be clear about the benefits of the language when recommending it.

> he should come to his day in court.

I don't believe he would get a fair trial. I don't think he believes he would, either. In fact, the US refuses to promise him one: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/edward-snowden-wants-t...

If you think he'd even get a fair trial if he returned to the US, then that's the point you need to be justifying.
It's cool that they actually finished the project. Last time I've tried Synfig Studio, it was very crashy. Congrats!
Yeah, there isn't really one in Haiti or necessarily one in general. But strongmen charging aid agencies for access to refugees has contributed to instability in some cases such as the Great Lakes refugee criss[1] which touched off the Congolese Civil War, one of the 20 deadliest human conflicts in history. If aid agencies are willing to walk away that isn't a problem, but not all of them are.

In my experience it's easy to get miles of range when you have line of sight. Just look at the measurement from nearby Lucerne to Zürich (Switzerland). That's around 50-60km. If you have buildings in the way, things get tougher. Putting up gateways high on the roof helps.

The theory in the article is that the political instability have encouraged the coffee farmers to concentrate on short-term gain rather than that long-term view that is required to grow a coffee plant crop. They begin outlining this idea on page two, which is arguably far too deep into the article.

Because that transition has been never-ending, an entire generation has now passed since 1986 where uncertainty about the political future is the norm. And the political bleeds into everything, including the day-to-day choices made by all Haitians, rural farmers included.

And then a little further on they finally tie it to coffee

If you're unsure what the political winds will bring next year, or who might be in power and how it will affect you, why would you invest in a long-term cash crop that takes years to pay off? To make sure you can provide for your family, you'd be wiser to focus on the food-crop harvest that's just a few months away, which is exactly what Haitian farmers do.

Later on in the article, they spend time on what the aid organizations are actually doing and how this is counter-productive if their goal is to truly help Haitian farmers become self sufficient.
Zero-Knowledge: Definitions and Theory
> My point was that you can't really talk about bokeh without considering subject distance relative to effective length.

Sure. But that's frankly overcomplicating things. The people considering the iPhone 7 [Plus] as their camera don't need a detailed discussion of the factors that affect depth of field. Hell, Apple was calling this Bokeh. What the typical consumer needs to understand is that a large aperture on their phone won't make it take pictures that look like a DSLR.

> It doesn't look like the iPhone 7+ will really do this either, but employ some software tricks and perhaps a rough depth map to do slightly better than a simple filter would. The examples seen so far were hardly compelling.

Yeah, I don't have high hopes for this either.

> Fwiw, depth of blur for portraiture and sports photography are usually achieved through different mechanisms anyway, on being focal plane location and the other (mostly) motion relative to that plane

I'm not sure what mean here. I'm not aware of anyone doing lots of portraiture that involves any motion at all. And sports photography is typically shot with a fast enough shutter to largely freeze any action. The obliterated backgrounds in portraiture and sports photography is mostly achieved by using long lenses wide open.

> The "portrait" look that most people actual want is achieved through foreshortening as well as blur, and you aren't going to achieve that with the (typically quite wide) optics on a smart phone. Even the 7+ "tele" is actually a normal, it seems.

I agree, though I think more people are conscious of the blur than the perspective difference.
