Analog film has far higher dynamic range than any digital format. The camera itself makes no difference with all the f-stops, the analog domain is far finer-grained. Film is not effected by moire.
Note sure why you would be "that guy", unless you mean you're asking questions without reading the article...

However, I skimmed the article and searched for terms like resume/sleep/wake/suspend without a hit - which I assume means they're working fine.

The article did quote that everything is running out of the box, so, again, the presumption is that those features work.

Bluetooth and Wifi work but who knows in Real World experience since the more you tinker with Linux the more issues you run into (unless you're seasoned).

Dual monitors I have no idea.

Also, those are all valid questions which I think most intro-level folks to Linux ask.

My personal issue with Linux has always been printing. At times, the drivers just stop working or crash a network company printer for no good reason. Not sure if its the novice in me or a SOP for most Linux users.
Might want to check out Plots.jl [1], which is pretty quickly becoming the de facto plotting library for many Julia users. It abstracts over various plotting backends, including native Julia graphics libraries like GLVisualize.jl [2] (which IMO has amazing potential for simulation visualizations once native graphics programming in Julia matures).

I hear the normal PyPlot/GR wrappers are pretty useful as well. They're ultimately not native Julia code, but since Julia makes it so easy to reuse tools in other languages, why not take advantage of that feature?

Out of kernel offloads (dpdk, solarflare's openonload, and mellanox's VMA) are good for two primary use cases:

* Reducing context switches at exceptionally high packet rates
* Massively reducing latency with tricks like busy polling (which the kernel's native stack is gaining)

LVS is pretty much the undisputed king for serious business load balancing. I've heard (anecdotally) that Uber uses gorb[1] and google has released seesaw, which are both fancy wrappers ontop of LVS for load balancing.

Try working less than 40 hours some places and you will find that "you're a professional, work what you need to" only goes one way. Just because I'm salaried doesn't mean my employer is "entighted" to free hours after 40. It's a 2 way street.

> Mark Bramhill: It meant nothing. Chrysler even admitted that the majority of it came from just outside Newark, New Jersey — not Corinth. The term was a marketing lie, meant to evoke feelings of old. Somehow, this seems fitting for Find My Friends. The leather made something so conceptually futuristic a little more familiar, even if it was nonsensical. It was a reassuring callback to an old aesthetic. And of course, where would the CEO of Apple find a reassuring, comforting texture?

Dave Wiskus: According to legend, it was the exact leather and stitching on his private jet.

I didn't mean that humans can't do things that haven't been conceptually solved. I agree that humans can do humor and that humor isn't conceptually solved, so I'll assume that you mean to say that we can make computers do humor, even though it isn't conceptually solved.

I disagree that we can make computers do humor. Kobeya linked to a paper that shows unsupervised joke generation, but it's a stretch to call this humor. I haven't explored beyond what's in that article, but the examples of jokes produced do little to convince me that this program is doing humor:

I like my relationships like I like my source, open

I like my coffee like I like my war, cold

I like my boys like I like my sectors, bad

Show me an AI that can produce original joke forms and I'll reevaluate.

Go was not conceptually solved decades ago if it required the development of new tree-pruning algorithms to work. Improving an algorithm is conceptual innovation. If it could have worked with only a few orders of magnitude difference in performance, or with only marginally inferior results without new algorithms then maybe it was conceptually solved decades ago, else no.
Pryor and Spolsky have been running Fog Creek for sixteen years. That's a log of 'everyday at the office' to go without a big payday, particularly considering how much StackOverflow could have been sold for years ago.

From a strategic standpoint, selling Trello is probably a more favorable way for Spolsky and Pryor to raise $360 million in cash than through venture capital. In hindsight it's not implausible that the goal behind developing Trello was always to sell it off. Unlike StackOverflow, Trello has lots of competitors and it's value in is in integrating with the rest of a project's workflow. Essentially it's a commodity.
In case one prefers not to get astronomical news from "Business Insider":

I think it depends on whether an algorithm is forced to traverse an array in the cache-efficient direction or not. Oftentimes you can't choose whether to make your outer loop rows or columns so the performance could go either way.

Can you expand on that, please. Why were you months on OS X painful? Just curious to hear the use case that caused this.
Why, arguments for both sides could've been made easily. You absolutely can make a case for both leaving or staying. It's just that neither side of the referendum bothered to do this before the vote.

I use the second hand on my watch to help with mixed strategies; sometimes using it to inform size of raise, or the direction of raise/fold, raise/call, and (rarely) call/fold decisions.

As such, if you happen to notice me look at my watch, you can deduce I might be raising, or calling, or folding, with a strong, weak, or medium hand that is already made, or on the come; or that I am interested in the time for a reason such as wondering how long i've taken, how long i've been at the table, if i need to leave, if a new dealer might sit and collect time soon, or something else.

I get that you're a pedant who wants to be right; but it's not a remotely useful tell unless the person does it only in one type of situation. but nobody who is concerned about how well they mix a mixed strategy is dumb enough to mix only _one_ strategy.

I actually have Ubuntu 16.4 on the previous (non Dev Edition) generation of this laptop (HW almost identical), and it works almost out of the box for the things you mentioned (needed to solve a problem with touchpad palm detection, and touchscreen bug after resuming from sleep).

Of course, mind you, dual monitor support on Ubuntu (or any other linux distro) sucks (I guess it's because X is crap). It is, however, functional. You get some annoying glitches when hot-plugging monitors, etc. Sometimes apps crash when both monitors "disappear" (laptop is closed an you disconnect the external monitor). But it works WAY better than I expected.

Ooh, I'm going to like this article. I had to stop to post this comment when I came across this statement:

Much political analysis revolves around competing simple stories based on one big factor such that, in retrospect, ‘it was always clear that immigration would trump economic interest / Cameron’s negotiation was never going to be enough / there is an unstoppable populist tide’, and so on. Alternatives are quickly thought to have been impossible (even if X argued the exact opposite repeatedly). The big event must have had an equally big single cause. Confirmation bias kicks in and evidence seeming to suggest that what actually happened would happen looms larger. People who are quite wrong quickly persuade themselves they were ‘mostly right’ and ‘had a strong feeling’ unlike, of course, the blind fools around them. Soon our actual history seems like the only way things could have played out. Brexit had to happen. Trump had to win.

It really reminds me of this[0] wonderful blog post "Tuesday shouldn't change the narrative" which predicted very well how the narrative changed after the election of Trump.

This Brexit blog post also has this wonderful epistemic statement:

> Also, it is clear that almost nobody agrees with me about some of my general ideas. It is more likely that I am wrong than 99% of people who work in this field professionally. Still, cognitive diversity is inherently good for political analysis so I’ll say what I think and others will judge if there’s anything to learn.

Both of these quotes really resonate with me. I fear that many people will downvote this because the author is a Leaver, but I think that would be a mistake. The author clearly isn't dumb and is telling a firsthand story of their involvement in this important event. People should read and watch primary sources more often, I think.

It would need to also not let you see your photos for somewhere between 1 and 7 days, take SD cards no larger than 64 Mb, and break when X-rayed in airport security.

That all said, I agree with the op.
Stability is a concern but it's notable that this machine is running a recent long-term support version of Ubuntu so shouldn't need any TLC in the short term.

Ease of use is very subjective and can't really argue with what people are used to. I do know that from a physical point of view that Linux lets me configure a mouse to not give me RSI.
Not exactly - Helfgott's initial analysis pointing out the flaw was(and still is) correct - it's just that Babai found a way to work around it.
> I use Groovy/Grails and love it, and can hire Java/Spring people

Which version of Grails is that? I've heard virtually no-one's upgraded to version 3 since it came out, and not many people are starting new Grails projects, so it's all Grails 2.x. Nowadays, Apache Groovy seems to only be used for glue code, build files, and test scripts.
Wow, this is gold for me. I really thank you for sharing it. I hope you realize how difficult it is for me/us to think about this "topic" and be able to start planning for some version of it, without much data or friends in similar situations to rely on.

Luckily, most of your advice is very close to what we have already implemented (she has worked for only 3 years over the last seven, primarily because of visa requirements etc - we moved from Europe to Singapore, then US), and I never had her ask for money. She also has her own bank account which I make sure never gets too low, and where she usually collects most of her work income. She's also very good at spending money only on good things, and not wasting it (which otherwise would have made me nervous - e.g. "I work hard to make money, and you spend it on a Gucci bag?").

I also agree that communication between us is important - it has been helpful so far, and I hope it will continue to be in the future.
It depends on the sensitivity (ISO). Below ISO 800 you won't have much of an issue. 800 and above it gets dicey.

Film doesn't necessarily match the color response of the eye any more than digital sensors do. Fujifilm's Velvia film was renowned for extreme saturation, not accurate color reproduction. And optical viewfinders don't take into account exposure length either, so they won't give an accurate view of long exposure shots.

If you shoot raw you can always tweak the color balance in post-production anyway.

> the Ilford makes everything look like a picture from a local news article.

Heh heh. B&W film is a totally different world than color (although it's possible to make it similar if you scan after development). Wrapping one's head around color filters is a valuable and enlightening experience. The development itself is easy enough to do in your bathroom. Then the real fun begins: printing.

The digital editing experience pales in comparison to printing B&W film. Cropping becomes a physical activity, where you use your hands to move the rulers on the easel or the projection plane up and down and experiment with different aspect ratios and sizes and ratios of image to border. The act of making each print is often in itself almost a sort of "performance," as you, the artist, are affecting the image's development in real-time by dodging/burning/applying other effects. And the wait to develop gives you time to contemplate what you're creating, where your mind is spinning and coming up with other creative ideas as you gently agitate the photo paper and watch your image slowly come into being.

The darkroom itself is a kind-of meditative creative space, and I have extremely fond memories of staying up while in college till 2 or 3 AM, making prints and messing around with my photos. Lightroom and Photoshop are useful tools, and I've also spent a significant amount of time editing in those pieces of software, but it's hard to beat the satisfaction of making a black & white photo print on nice fiber paper.

If you're a professional wedding photographer, don't bother, it's a waste of your time and is probably not relevant to the product you're trying to deliver: memories of the event that just took place. But if you're looking for a visual creativity outlet with a deep history and a lot of flexibility and room to explore different levels of abstraction/ideas, it's certainly worth a try.
Thank you for the informative and neutral response. I knew there was a larger debate over the two, but I didn't have a good enough understanding of the two to know why.
Oh no way! That's awesome, apologies for not knowing this and thanks!
1. Ease of use I can give you. That being said, Linux for me is way easier to use than OS X or Windows so I think that's relative.

2. I'm sorry but I really can't agree with you at all about stability. Linux is incredibly stable, especially on a laptop designed for Linux. Linux on a MacBook, sure, it's awful. A Network manager update completely stopped my ability to connect to the internet and I had to downgrade it and prevent it from updating for a bit.

On my XPS? Not a single issue, and I'm on an "unstable" distribution.

I think that if there isn't some software that you absolutely need that has no Linux alternative then you should really give it a shot.
I remember the same thing originally happened with Wile's proof of FLT. It's heartwarming to know that scholars continue to skeptically check each other's work for factual correctness.
That's not the point they were making.

The point was that if you're going to look at the clock and use the second hand to help you make decisions about whether or not to bluff, look at it at other times too when you're not making a decision, so that looking at the clock doesn't become a tell.
If old and new both suck. There is no gain in migrating to newer ;)

Sounds like a typical "Lessons Learned from My Year as a Startup CEO" post on Medium!
"Gat [3] compared the run times, development times and memory usage of 16 programs written by 14 programmers in Lisp, C/C ++ and Java. Development times for the Lisp programs ranged from 2 to 8.5 h, compared with 2 to 25 h for C/C ++ and 4 to 63 h for Java (programmer experience alone does not account for the differences). The Lisp programs were also significantly shorter than the other programs."

Could selection bias be skewing these results?

Proficient Lisp programmers can certainly create shorter and faster programs with Lisp. Who would ever contest that? Average programmers, on the other hand, can probably develop in a similar amount of time and write faster programs with C++ (given the amount of libraries and information available - in comparison to Lisp - and the ubiquity of tooling).

Spotted by what or who exactly? If we want to see asteroids we need satellites in orbit around the sun monitoring our blind spots (things coming at us from the sun). Until then we'll never be able to spot things in all circumstances.

It also was spotted:
A smallish asteroid zoomed past Earth this morning (Jan. 9), just two days after scientists first spotted the space rock.

Even assuming we had perfect alerting and this was a problem, what action should have been taken considering this is a common occurrence?
> And ignoring for a second the assumption that a better informed populus would have naturally voted Clinton...

Exactly. There are a bunch of people who knew all about Trump's lies, distortions of reality, character flaws, and so on, and voted for him anyway. Why is that?

Hillary was a deeply flawed candidate. First, she was the establishment candidate. This wasn't a good election to be wearing that mantle. Next, she gave off the vibe that she felt she was entitled to the presidency. There were more than two decades of scandals (never mind how much actual fire there was; after two decades of smoke surrounding her, people were sick of it). Her email servers were a very bad look; it gave the impression that she wanted to hide stuff so it wouldn't come back to haunt her during her presidential run, and it also gave the impression that she thought rules were for other people. The allegations of pay for play with the Clinton Foundation was a continuation of the corruption allegations, but it was very fresh. And for the working class, their financial position mostly got worse under Obama, and Clinton was viewed as a continuation of that.

But sure, blame people voting for Trump on fake news.

(For the record, I'm a conservative who could not in good conscience vote either for Trump or Hillary, but who was cheering for Hillary on election night because I viewed Trump as more dangerous.)

I love Trello!

At one of my internships (Elec Engineering) with a mining company they used Trello to organize the majority of their work.

After that experience I started using Trello to organize all my daily stuff.

I had it to organise my book reading list, book purchase list, Quarterly and Yearly goals, Job application status, plan and execute on my thesis, assignments and side projects.

I can't believe how much value it has provided me for free!

It's good to see them get rewarded with a nice buyout.

FYI, my understanding is that all the asteroids capable of posing an existential threat to humanity are known and tracked. Smaller asteroids like this one are not, but there is an upper bound on the possible damage they can do, and the damage is pretty small in expectation (i.e., when weighted by the chance of a collision).

On the other hand, it's still possible that a long-period comet or rogue planet could come out of nowhere and wipe humanity out. Presumably the odds are extremely remote, judging by the rarity of extinction-level events in the geological record.
Digital is WAAAY easier to get started on, no doubt. It's also much easier to learn the basics of composition and exposure. Unbelievably so! You can "develop" your images in microseconds.

With film you have to supplement a lot of what's achievable in digital via guessing and checking with careful thought. You also have many fewer opportunities to get the shot right before you exhaust your film and probably blow the moment replacing it.

This makes film into a forcing function to perform excellent technique and to pre-visualize your shot. This creates better technique.

It's also nice that film has a very high effective resolution (when drum scanned), that film grain is a favorable aesthetic right now (it was usually considered ugly before digital), and that film has a logarithmic response to light meaning that it can handle a wider dynamic range than digital.
