Nothing that's a rangefinder AFAIK. There's something like a Fujifilm X-E3 with the pancake lens. So more like a Leica form factor than an Olympus XA. There are also the high-end P&Ss. But I haven't run across anything that gives you both the control and the pocketability of an Olympus XA.

The FUJIFILM X100 probably comes closest to rangefinder translated to digital with a fixed lens. But a bit bigger again. And it's IMO a whole lot of money for a specialized camera.
absolutely. unfortunately the dynamics of our election and political systems has a tendency to degenerate to 2-party power sharing. we need systemic changes that counteract consolidations of power, of representative institutions relative to the represented. for instance, we could cap the number of people a house member could represent to 100,000, and have 3300 representatives instead of 438. it's harder to game 3300 representatives. similarly, we could give each state 100 senators. with modern technology, the practicality of that is no longer a problem. it would be hugely unpopular among the political class however.
I only use DSLR/EVIL cameras for portrait photography, for the depth of field. They have no utility for me for outings, tourism, or landscapes, hiking, etc. My phone has more utility.

For reference, I would consider myself an enthusiast and professional photographer. I used a darkroom, and have published books and felt quality was important.

When AI depth of field works for distances of 6-20 feet I will ditch the physically superior camera for my phone in that use case too.
That's a seven day death rate.

The specific shortcoming its government is looking into, according to the article, was inability to "protect care homes where half of all Sweden’s Covid-19 deaths have occurred."

Sorry, don't need a society-wide lockdown to protect nursing and group homes, which are highly regulated and often government-operated.

Lies, bad lies, and statistics.

Probably an Olympus XZ? I'm not sure if they ever made a successor to it, but still it's a great camera if you're cool not having a touchscreen.
I wasn't alive back then, so this might just be a product of the movies I've watched, but I get the impression that the "leather jacket" was almost universally considered cool by the youth of that era (whether or not they were willing to risk presenting that "deviant" image themselves). compared to that time (or at least my impression of it), culture is much more fragmented today. I don't think anything exists that is universally considered cool by today's youth. although being in my late twenties, I am rapidly approaching the point where I don't know what's "cool" anyway.
Note that number of cases is never the total number of cases, only the number of cases that have been tested and tested positive. This number depends very strongly on how much a country tests. Some countries test everybody, others test only severe cases.

Number of deaths is more reliable, though even those numbers can be hidden. For example, in Florida the number of COVID-19 deaths is fairly low, but the number of pneumonia deaths is more than 6 times higher than normal all of a sudden.
Gah I HATE that about apple products.

You can't customize the UI.

Why can't you customize the UI? Apple won't let you. You only get what they have decided to allow.

Why can't we just hold a button and unlock the phone directly into the camera?

EDIT: to be clear, I mean an unambiguous way of taking a still photo or video that doesn't require looking at the screen or "being in a mode".
Assuming they had to pay the full amount, sure, it might make a dent, but it's also a one time event. It amounts to losing ~11 days of revenue, less than 2 weeks.
Touch screen is still very inaccurate and you don't develop muscle memory.

You are more likely to touch wrong button on touchscreen than on physical ui.

The big chains were suffering outside of a handful of affluent neighborhoods in all cities even in good times, I don’t see why this wouldn’t be a problem. Margins are low, and consumers’ ability to spend is low, so raising prices might not be possible leaving closing down as the only option.
Wiping, not bricking.

Probably an undisclosed zero day, intended to backdoor, had been deployed to exploit the handsets of looting rioters (eh, peaceful protestors), and so this is a counter-leak by malories to disarm its effectiveness and promote wariness of possible malware.
> But the opinion that Go is sluggish and opaque is purely subjective

It is not. It's significantly slower than Java and has maybe 5% of its observability tools. Go is technologically more than a decade behind Java in compilation, GC, and observability. I'm not saying it's not good enough for certain things -- sometimes primitive and simple gets the job done, and you might not need a Ferrari to go to the grocery store -- but let's not turn an acceptable compromise into a win.

> Java's memory consumption makes it feel sluggish

Why? If you don't mind it performing as poorly as Go, you can reduce the heap size and pick a low-latency collector like ZGC, but really Java says, give me the cheapest resource, RAM, and in return you'll get something much better.

> especially on desktop

Java desktop applications consume less RAM than Electron ones, and IntelliJ is more snappy than Atom (and recently, unfortunately, vscode, too), although there are perfectly valid reasons to prefer Electron.

> Also, when are the value types coming?

I don't know. Not my area.

> On multiple occasions they've had to pull off the highway to turn their car off and on again to get the screen working.

This is false. Teslas have, roughly speaking, two computers. One drives the big touch screen, and the other manages the core automotive functions.

The media computer sometimes hangs/crashes; this has no impact whatsoever on the basic function of the car.

When that happens, it's an easy matter to reset it while the car is in motion; one just holds one button under each thumb on the steering wheel for a few seconds. The big screen will come back within a couple of minutes.

There's no point in telling us how many videos you've watched in those categories, because "number of videos someone personally watched in each category" tells us more about that person's viewing preferences than the prevalence of those incidents.

Granted we understand "brick" to mean the device cannot boot, but this comes pretty damn close on some phones, it seems.

> "After setting the image in question as a wallpaper, the phone immediately crashed. It attempted to reboot, but the screen would constantly turn on and off, making it impossible to pass the security screen," he noted.

> Restarting the device in safe mode (by holding down the volume button during boot-up) did not fix the issue."

If restarting doesn't fix it, and not even safe mode will allow you to change the wallpaper to get around it, what method of recovery is left for the affected user? Factory reset from recovery mode?
And of course environmental regulation.
Uber’s Ex-CTO First Interview Since Stepping Down
If you're healthcare, you're taught not to trust results because it was published under a brand-name journal.

YES, you should be skeptical, but mostly not at the journal-level. You need to be skeptical at the article-level. That is why it's so important to be actually TRAINED to interpret the studies.

The abstract of a trial is like an "advertisement" for the study. You quickly scan it to see if the study is worth reading. If it is, you make multiple passes of the article, identifying biases, understanding the study context, calculating ratios and numbers, reading through the lens of your own practice, and a bunch of other things.
More technical details in case anyone needs to quickly pipe out some audio to the Internet:

/usr/bin/vlc -I dummy -vv --no-alsa-stereo alsa://default:CARD=Device -L --sout-keep \
--sout #transcode{acodec=opus,channels=1,ab=24000,afilter=equalizer}:standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=:9999} \
--equalizer-2pass --equalizer-bands 0 0 0 0 0 0 -20 -20 -20 -20

--no-alsa-stereo because my input source is mono. --sout-keep probably isn't necessary now, but it was when I was streaming from the radio's crashy RTSP service.

The #transcode block sets up a simple pipeline: first transcode to Opus at the specified output bitrate (24 Kbps is plenty for recorded voice), then mux it up and serve it via HTTP. I added a low-pass filter at ~6 KHz because there's some of high frequency noise from either my radio's analog output stage or the cabling. I had to look through the VLC source code[1] to find the preset frequency bands since I couldn't find them in VLC docs.

You simply can't do P2P video meetings in a performant way because videoconferencing a) still requires STUN and TURN servers due to NAT, firewalls, mobile, etc. and b) requires a server for bandwidth reasons once you get beyond 2-5 participants, since otherwise bandwidth is N^2 for N participants.

It's that simple.

Now, if someday NAT's and firewalls die so every device can receive connections from anywhere, and packet multicast across the internet becomes a thing, then this could probably change. But I don't think anybody sees either of those happening anytime in the next decade (or ever), for both technical and security reasons.

But the article also says if you set it as your wallpaper, you cannot get past the lock screen, which I am guessing is because it crashes again loading or rendering the wallpaper. So maybe you could boot with a key combination and reset the phone, but it's pretty close to bricking.

Some users report that it soft-bricked their phones (ie. they had to factory reset their device). Others were able to recover it by either deleting the wallpaper from TWRP, or pressing a sequences of keys to take a picture and set that as the wallpaper (apparently for them only the display was broken, everything else worked(.
I don't know but in the occasional debates I heard around this issue, trusts were never mentioned. Maybe that's a more possible solution in the USA. The attraction of civil partnership as thought of for these cases is that it's understood to just be a legal arrangement that confers all the legal rights of spouses to property automatically. Because it's possible for same sex people I've heard of two widowers who share a house entering such an arrangement.
"A series of tubes" was meant to be a contrast to the truck analogy.

"the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material."

The tube vs truck analogy doesn't really make much sense here. Tubes aren't exactly famous for having discrete items queue up within them.
it ought to go without saying, but just to make this explicitly clear: the author is Admiral Mike Mullen (ret), whose last position before he retired was as the seventeenth chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

He was a servicemember from 1968 to 2011, served under 9 administrations, and was appointed chair of the joint chiefs by GWB in 2007 and retained through Obama's first term.

The IDE has a split screen. Left: HTML, right: CSS. There is no concept of files. All you have is:

- pages
- dependencies (JSON used for third-party imports)
- reusable slots (pieces of UI shared across your up)
- providers (actions executed prior rendering)
- commands (actions triggered by a user)
'implement...' drop-down (a list of things to be implemented, populated live as you change HTML)
- eye icon (live preview)
- create/remove page buttons

Navigating can be done by choosing stuff from the drop-downs. The IDE is intended to work in multi tabs (you might need to enable popups). We wanted developers to be able to work on multiple screens and arrange tabs as you wish.

In the Demo I left comments explaining things in context, therefore I won't bombard you with tons of screenshots. The things you'll see there:

- how to change a page name
- how to executed providers prior rendering of the page
- how to change page title (no kidding - you can )
- how to create a new page
- how to use reusable slots
- how to add conditionals in HTML
- how to modify HTML tags dynamically
- how to repeat HTML tags
- how to use conditionals in loops
- how to scope-style a page, its slots and reusable slots
- how to use third party libraries (See Dependencies and any command e.g. addTodo

The list isn't explicit. There is more stuff you can do and even more things you will be able to do. It just requires time and effort .

Enjoy exploring and gimme your feedback!

I actually looked into this when I saw it in the original tweet. I tried with a current Android 10 emulator, crashed SystemUI. Tried with the latest build of AOSP, was a-ok. Whatever the issue was, looks like it got resolved already in either the Android color library or the ImageProcessHelper for the wallpaper (the piece of code that was initially crashing with an out of bounds error). I haven't spent much time looking into exactly when/where it was fixed, though.

Quick edit to add that, despite this, I do not believe those changes have made their way into most devices. It seems the error stemmed from the possibility of returning a value over 255 when a histogram was calculated from the addition of color values. As stated in the article, this seemed to result from the use of the Skia color profile in particular. I do not know about other color profiles. The code mentioned by gruez was what I got when the emulator was crashing.
> Personally I think we should be hiring on merit rather than any other factors.

if by merit you mean competency in coding, and by years of experience you effectively mean years in coding, what you have stated here is directly in conflict with your requirements of 5 years of experience. nothing personal: them's the breaks.

admittedly, i get what you're trying to do - filter out bad candidates cheaply - but one ought to be able to introspect and see what they're saying (signaling) and what their actions show.

there are tons of very talented people leaving bootcamps, students out of colleges, etc. that are not going to every qualify, and may already be more sharp than some corporate drone with 5 years under his belt. hell, imagine all the first-job people with 1-2 years of experience who are hungry to level up their technical skills but can't get your job.
TL;DR: color profile in the metadata could not be interpreted by some phones. When you set that picture as your background it can cause your home screen to hang.

This is spot on, but one additional factor that makes me desire a high-res DSLR is because I know one day we will have retina wallpaper and the billboard use case will be real and mass-market. I would like to capture as much data as possible in the camera so I can re-enjoy the scene in the most immersive way in the future.

Most of the pictures I take are most definitely not art, just an attempt at snapshotting now.

It's described as crashing in loop, even on restart. For people who don't know how to reflash/wipe from recovery, it render their phone useless, so as well as bricked.

10x the total per-capita deaths of Norway (third paragraph I quoted is not seven-day; seven-day rate has held consistently higher than their neighbors; it's not a short-term aberration, and it remains that high after locking down care homes etc.) is an issue you can't just handwave away.

In Europe programming is considered a blue collar job. From friends over there I hear that it's something you are sent to do if you could not make it in other disciplines. In America it's like being a doctor. Why? Because this is a rich country. It's as simple as that. We have a lot of money to spend, and we have a lot of smart people (in the long-tail). There is no ceiling in America. There is a ceiling in other countries, because after you get to a certain level, you can always come to America.
Would it help? I would expect that to just make things worse, as the right to freer speech on Facebook becomes an explicit asset with unequal allocation. An informal policy seems much less dangerous.
You can definitely train it though, you never see other people's bland and poorly composed photos. Pick em back up! Or sell them...
According to the linked theory from @evowizz, any photo with an unsupported colorspace would cause this issue. Seems like someone would have noticed before? Maybe in QA or at least during a beta instead of 9 months after launch?
They do, although they say the bug only happens if you set it as wallpaper.

I wouldn't click from a phone just in case, though.
Serious question: Where else can I find all of these government agencies / representative (Congress) statements? Twitter seems to be how the US government communicates with the people.
