For what its worth the Sony hot-shoe actually has dedicated GPS pins but there is no GPS mouse available (and Sony won't react if you ask for specs). The only thing that is available are external GPS recorders which you have to read out and semi-automatically merge with your photo library. What an absolute clusterfuck.
How to Fix Everything That's Wrong with the Internet
Interesting. Since the underlying engine(Tantivy) is faster than lucene - at least in their benchmarks - it should be faster that solr. Seems like the author is exploring a faster alternative to solr. I never got around to explore elasticsearch since our solr instances are running so smoothly.
No, I didn't know that ring made internal cameras nor that those products have no differentiation.. though your account appears to be supposition to me.

Based on the low quality of their selections, I would postulate about 20.
A 'stale' read of atomic data may be fine (it wouldn't really be "unsynchronized" in that sense), but as soon as you're dealing with stuff that's not completely atomic in-hardware and need actual synchronization, there's a potential of breaking expected invariants and creating further unsafety as a consequence of that.

I pretty much use them at every point. The only special window management I've never liked is tabs or splits at the level of the terminal emulator (like in terminator). It really does just feel like worse/clunkier tmux. I use Sway, tmux, and splits in vim/emacs.
I like to have all my terminal stuff glued together and in a certain arrangement. I like that this whole layout of panes I'm used to can then neatly take up half my screen thanks to the wm. Vim has registers and macros that benefit from a single session. Emacs has commands to scroll the "other window", also it often opens a temporary window when you use something like M-x describe-mode or M-x describe-char. You could maybe remove some of this overlap if everything had some sort of ipc and your wm just sent commands to it all.
It definitely wasn’t Apple that came up with the idea that a phone could be a useful “camera”.

The first iPhones compared very poorly with existing camera phones from the likes of Nokia. So much so that they de-emphasised the camera in importance almost as an after thought.

Cameras that are also phones is also very old. Nokia and others have tried it and failed.
I think there's a few points:

a) at what point is content uploaded to Grammarly. Is it uploaded automatically as you input (if you have the Chrome extension), or is it uploaded only where a user activates the extension. Clearly if the latter, then no one is going to be using Grammarly to check their code so no issue. Even if the former, it's still debatable whether or not the terms of use would even grant rights. It's still limited to content 'in connection with the use of the services or software' - content uploaded passively without any user action (aside from the initial act of installing the extension) doesn't fall neatly into that bracket.

b) The likelihood of Grammarly taking a decision to incorporate third party code into their service or to improve their service on the basis of the license granted in the terms of use is extremely slim. The reputational hit if it were to come out, and the lack of legal certainty over the status of the third party code would both act as a strong disincentive to do this.
I started a company that publishes email newsletters, we now have about 10, and there are several of us in the company. We make 95% of our money through sponsorship/advertising in the newsletters.
That would be very hard to engineer. (1)Pipes change size with heat. Getting the external empty pipe to reliably keep position over the smaller pipe would be tricky. (2) pipe inspections have to happen. In burried sections this may be a non-issue but wrapping all the valves and above-ground facilities in layers would make inspection problematic.

(3) the volume and speed of material in pipes is immense. The void space between pipe layers would have to run continuously for the length of the pipe. Any blockage or constriction would produce a water hammer effect, turning one leak into many. A cracked pipe is bad, but a double-layered pipe exploding because of a crack miles upstream is horrible.

What fills this void space? Air? Air plus hydrocarbon in an enclosed/hot environment?
Is it fast though !?
StandardEbooks are book from Gutenberg that have been cleaned and make to look nicer. See https://standardebooks.org/about/
If they work thru big publishers authors get actually very little from every book purchase. So in practice most of your payments go to feed large majors. I wish more authors would go the path of self publishing so they can maximize their compensation per book sale.

I think there is a difference between how we interact with some of these services and Grammarly. Uploading a picture on Facebook is different from having Grammarly check if what you are posting to Facebook is correct.

In one I am uploading content to a platform, in the other I am utilizing grammarly to validate what I write, but I am not posting to any forum/service owned by Grammarly (atleast not deliberately)

Sony does offer a bunch of over priced, buggy, bad UX, not fun to use on the camera "apps", at least on some series of cameras.

https://www.playmemoriescameraapps.com/portal/

They are almost universally features you can get on your phone cheaper or even free with much better UX. Maybe at the resolution or raw area or some other dimension they might be better. You can also tether to your phone but why would you? It's just too tedious.

I don't think anything is going to save cameras. I keep one which I pretty much only use for super telephoto (400-800mm) and for ultra wide/fisheye. If a phone optically offered both of those things built in I'd stop using that camera completely.

Note: A snap-on 3rd party lens system would not get me to switch but a built in mount might (if Apple or Google or Samsung, ideally Apple, designed some kind of mount for lens I'd totally by them). In fact I'm a little surprised Apple hasn't already done this. I can imagine 2 or 3 tiny notches or mag-divits or something in the back or edge of the case near the lens that external lenses attach to. Apple could offer 2 or 4 lenses and maybe a ring light and easily pull in another billion a year as all the instagrammers go buy them all.

I'm a compulsive note taker, as it helps me to organize my thoughts better. I think the book, "How to Read a Book" gives the best advice for this, even for listening.

First, take note of the terms used. Things like "capital markets" or "startup" which may mean very different things to different people. Especially useful for technical talks, where you can get buried in jargon.

Look for the information "pillars". These are the things that support the rest of the content. They are information dense, and thus difficult to understand. They feel like speedbumps. If the speaker spends a lot of time reviewing it, it is likely an information pillar.

You also have to practice dealing with a flood of information. Speed reading helps - learn to convert information into images, or categorize and link it to other information as soon as it arrives. You can practice with anything - articles, Wikipedia, holy books.

I really prefer taking notes electronically because it's easier to swap between a glossary of terms and sort out information in different categories as it arrives. But paper works too if you can split out the space for it.

Well the smartest talents of the previous generations built and exploded hundreds of nuclear weapons including a couple on innocent civilians, created ICBMs that can destroy civilization in a few minutes and created situations that brought the world to a brink several times, drove a massive population explosion anda fossil fuel consumption binge that may yet destroy civilization.

So I definitely think the smartest of more recent generations who are employing their skills in these software hacks and ad tracking are perhaps saintly in comparison :-)

I am a stats guy, and sklearn did confuse the hell out of me when I tried to use it as such, but I have to agree with others here. The issue is not how regression works, the issue is that sklearn does not do stats at all!

The use case you think about is not what sklearn does. You cant even use it, because it returns no model metrics you need for a specified model structure.

No one uses sklearn for stats, and logistic regression here is really not stats, it is a not a ML estimated conditional expectation, it is simply a consequence of a ML loss function.
Ane in that sense, regularization is useful.

People expecting to get a stats model out of sklearn will fail immediately, since it does not even return errors, covariances or statistics.

A Beautiful Game
> But that’s just the start of the problem. Once beginners get their first camera system, they quickly realize that their expenses and time commitment do not stop there. All of a sudden, their computers are not fast enough to post-process those high-resolution images and video. Their storage is insufficient. Their computer screens that used to handle web browsing and occasional gaming just fine, are no longer good enough – they now need IPS monitors and screen calibration tools for a consistent editing experience.

That's the biggest difference between a market where casual users just want to take "pictures" vs the semi-pro market where users actually start caring about the process in itself rather than just the final outcome. It's not like "one size fits all" at all. I use both DSLRs, Mirrorless and smartphones to take pictures and I know when I want to use which. I also know that a DSLR picture is going to take more time to edit and all but I enjoy the process and I also find the picture is massively better than anything I can take with a smartphone: there's not even a metric where the best phone can compare with a medium-priced DLSR. I also know that my DLSR pictures will still look great 10 years from now while my smartphones pics are for instant consumption only and a good 75% of them are borderline junk (too much noise when it gets darker, distorsion, not taken exactly at the right moment, slightly blur, etc).

For me this is the same difference between people who buy computers just because they need one and hardcore gamers who assemble the best piece of hardware they can get their hands to because they have very specific needs or wishes. Looking thru a huge list of hardware options, comparing prices, is also fun if you are in the right mindset - and this is not "for all people".
okay, I busted out loud at this one :)
Publishers will never give up on DRM, so I don't see a point in involving them. A modern day electronic library would look something like Bandcamp - pay what you want for DRM free copy of the book. The whole raison d'etre of libraries is to keep physical books, but once you go digital, there's no point to making a difference between a shop and a library.

Perhaps the one concession I could make is to have the library provide a remote access system where you can log in and view books, but anything that manufactures digital scarcity is repugnant.
As one of the kids who grew up in relatively unrestricted playing environment (read: no purpose-built playgrounds, the whole city/town/village was our playground) I am wondering how today's kids manage to develop any skill in the physical world, since parents are constantly around and the kids are super-dependent on the supervision and restrictions.
I have found interesting books there. I have borrowed and loaned them, read and returned them.

I have also read very interesting magazines while having coffee there.

Sure there will always be some people complaining. By most metrics, Oodi has been a massive success.

If you have some free time and are in the vicinity, it is a great destination.
Weirdly I use my iPhone for photos but I don’t enjoy the process.

I still have my Nikon DLSR set up but when I want to “do photography” for fun these days I use a Fuji X100F.

This is a somewhat limit camera although I can get fixed focal lengths from 28-100mm eqv. and it has some other neat tricks.
I hardly ever shoot RAW now and if I do I process the RAW in camera.

This means I can’t take ever possible shot but I really enjoy working with the camera flaws and all. It’s only for fun so you get what you can.

What I don’t get is why the camera makers haven’t expanded on the creative options for their systems. Why aren’t they offering flash systems with better integration than say Godox?

Why don’t they offer control of flash colour temperature for balancing?

What about photo stacking in JPGs?

> Unless the playgrounds magically changed brain development so that kids got well-developed executive function much earlier than human children develop that under normal circumstances, there is no conceivable playground design that could do that.

I'm not an expert, but I find it quite likely that, yes, playgrounds do magically change brain development.

I think it's well-known in developmental psychology that your experience of, interaction with and reasoning about the world around you shapes how your brain develops.
> Why do we still have to mess about with camera tethering when it should be seamless to have photos transfer to a device for professional shoots, or to your smartphone for posting to social media?

I think this is the real answer for the standalone cameras: treat it as an extension of the smartphone.

It's embarassing that in 2019 it's _still_ not possible to wirelessly transfer RAW files from a camera to a phone. I haven't seen a single camera that can do this. iOS is perfectly ready for it too: there's platform-level support for RAW images and processing and plenty of apps take advantage of it, including the built-in Photos app.

Related: does anyone know why cameras typically have horrendously slow wireless transfer speeds? My iPhone can easily reach 600Mbps over WiFi yet even third-party devices made solely for the purpose of quickly transferring photos can only manage ~60Mbps.
\(^?^)/ ... (>﹏<) ... :-)
I'm not sure what camera companies could have done short of to stop being a camera company and being a phone company which seems unrealistic. They only have experience with cameras, not with the amount of software dev needed to ship a competitive smartphone.

What did livery owners do when the car came? They closed shop is my guess.

I don't really think there is much the camera companies could do. They've tried making it so you can use your camera from your phone. It's too cumbersome. They've tried making it so you can post images directly from the camera to the various services. Again too cumbersome. I have my phone always. I rarely have my camera. They've added apps stores to their cameras. They've added APIs. No one cares, it's not enough. Except for a few pros they're just not something anyone needs anymore.

> Publishers will never give up on DRM

Says who? There are markets today where DRM-free content is widely available, such as recorded music. DRM-free ebooks are an interesting possibility especially for the "long tail" of content that normally would see very few sales or even go out of print entirely. We just have to make it clear that DRM-unencumbered content is valuable to us, and we expect it.

The whole Töölönlahti bay area is nice. Oodi is a natural starting point for that. You can walk or bike to Kallio and Töölö, both by the way have their own more traditional libraries.

Most tourists tend to instead stay in southern Helsinki which is fine but quite boring in my opinion.
Matrix has bridges. So you can access gitter, slack, discord (and I think mattermost) via you matrix client (e.g. riot)
At 960fps all 10 shots were taken in a 1/100th of a second. So same as 1 shot at 1/100th. Probably good enough for most shots except sports/action and my guess is the computational photography can deal with that too in various way.
Laptops have very poor cooling. I have a Clevo laptop with a great processor but it will sometimes throttle itself to cool down. Great for small bursts of activity such as compilation but I don't understand how they could market these laptops as gaming machines. Running ffmpeg stabilizes the temperature at a healthy 96 degrees.
There’s also the issue of multi-user systems. The person who installs the extension is only competent to bind themselves to terms, and Grammerly doesn’t have any explicit relationship with other people that may use the same browser, especially if they never activate any of the extension’s features.
People like to buy luxury products based on their perceived status signalling, not actual quality. If it lets you Keep Up With The Joneses, it's perfect.

It's simply a matter of people wanting to live (or imply that they live) a lifestyle that is beyond their means, because living a lavish lifestyle is a indicator of success in life, thanks to our consumerism-based society.
It works for the other big sins - envy, lust, pride, and so on. Algorithms are really good at feeding these.
Ask HN: How do you start spending money?
I don't know how to spend money.

Growing up in a family that wasn’t exactly poor but never had much spare money to go around we lived within our means and sometimes tightened our belts and went without. I’m incredibly grateful to my parents for raising me in a way to not waste money or live ostentatiously.

I wear the same basic t-shirt, jeans and sneakers type combo everyday and have no need to upgrade to $300 jeans or $100 extra soft cotton t shirts. My OnePlus3T still works great. I go on a road trip vacation every year and explore a foreign country every few years. I don’t really have the work schedule that allows for 1+ month long vacations or multiple trips abroad each year. I like to cook and have some good equipment for that but don’t see the value of upgrading to fancy saucepans and skillets when my $30 cast iron works great. I live in a nice apartment in a city that has public transport.

The point i’m making is I have enough. Yet as I watch my bank balance grow as I earn this typical tech-job salary that I could have only dreamed of 15 years ago I leave myself with the strange problem of not knowing how to spend money. I’ve cautiously asked friends about this kind of thing but “I’ll spend it for you!1!! hur dur” is obviously unhelpful. I’m really trying to not sound brattish as I know many people live pay check to pay check but I really feel like I actually might have some kind of phobia or aversion to spending money that could be developing in to a real problem.

I search online for something like “how to start spending money” and all I get are articles saying “how to stop spending money!” which apparently the rest of the world seems to be doing. I’m trying to do the opposite and start spending to enjoy the fruits of my hard work over all these years.

How do you adjust your lifestyle as your salary grows and you find yourself in the incredibly fortunate position of being able to upgrade to more when you don’t really need/want to?
Do note that that blogpost is almost ten years old. At peak power, the latest iPhone is now probably around 3000x faster than the Cray 1 if you count the GPU (although finding FP64 performance stats for the iPhone is bit challenging).
