It truly is unique. I wrote a chip8[1] interpreter shortly after finishing my first year of university and was still a very novice programmer.

My implementation was poor even by novice standards, i knew there was a lot of spaghetti but I didn't mind. Implementing each opcode was like beating a level in a video game - and it worked, not perfectly and with some unsolved bugs. Tetris worked flawlessly though.

My Nikon DSLR (and lens) rarely leave the bag in the last few years, my compromise was to get a middle-of-the-pack fixed lens camera, a Fujifim X20, that is compact enough that I can just drop in my backpack and always have around in case i think the cell phone camera doesn't cut it but that stills allows for some "manual" tinkering if wanted.

All fair points. I could only afford one camera body to replace my ageing D3s, and I do use FX for other applications, so the D850 was my choice.

Focus peaking for video is amazing: you can move the focus from the foreground to the horizon and literally see a wave of red 'in-focus' tracking up the frame. For video, I'm a complete convert to live-view.

[Edit]. With practice, focus peaking makes it possible to track a moving animal (e.g. a squirrel approaching you across the ground) using manual focusing, without any of the dreaded auto-focus-hunting that can completely wreck a clip. You just have to learn instinctively which way to rotate the lens to move the plane of focus closer or further away.

A video tripod head also helps, so that you can pan and elevate the camera with one hand while focusing with the other. With a normal tripod head, that has separate locks for panning and elevating, simultaneously moving and focusing requires three hands.

This site appears extremely more credible, due to more reliable sources, than the one with a 1000 upvotes here yesterday.

I dont really care for telephone companies as heads would roll if they would dare to intercept my phone calls without court order. We had one case just 2 weeks back where one of mobile phone/internet installed some security "firewall" that was doing mitm on https, they are now under investigation and under consideration of criminal persecution. They had system in place for less then 1 week. I am protected regarding those by laws.

So to answer your question, telephone companies are a failure in USA (wild west and lawlessness), in my country they need to obey laws. Corporations doesnt obey any laws outside their country (which they select based on inneficient laws) and need to be harshly regulated.

My personally favorite would be legislation that would mandate e2e encryption that must not be backdoored by anyone else except law enforcement getting warrent but private keys are staying under judge supervision without possibility to give it away (in pkcs#12 manner) and can be only used to decrypt communication when he presses the big red button. Quite frankly you want to be able to wiretap organized crime.

I'm not sure I understand the trade off w.r.t. possible abuse.

For harassment / offensive content, if anything E2EE will make it easier to prove where offensive content came from. You've got a cryptographic chain leading to the source after all. All you need is a button to record and report things (which admittedly seems to be exactly what they intent to build). The E2EE aspect doesn't really change things, except that Zoom can't record things themselves, which they claim they didn't do in the first place (although they might have relied on the small server side buffer they had, but that's an iffy solution at best).

Also not sure what to think of Zoom's Trust and Safety team breaking into a private conversation when they think some kind of abuse is going on. Yes E2EE would make it impossible, but why on earth would Zoom want that kind of role?

It's all about the glass ... the lenses.

A camera with a large aperture (translation: one of those great big lenses) can do stuff a phone camera can only simulate.

-- gather more light. (Phone camera sensors are getting better so that's of diminishing importance.)

-- control the depth of field nicely. Lens marketroids brag about "creamy bokeh", which is what the out-of-focus stuff looks like in a photo taken with a narrow depth of field. Cell phones use a depth-sensor hack ... a really great depth-sensor hack ... to drive image processing to blur image backgrounds. Great hack, but still a hack.

If you're thinking of buying a camera with the crappy kit 14-14mm f/2.8 zoom lens, just don't. Use your camera.

But if you know what a good lens is for and know how to use it, buy the camera. I want this LEGENDARY lens to take pictures of indoor events but I can't justify the cost. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1023336-REG/panasonic...

Phone camera designers should keep chasing Neal Stephenson's lensless camera vision from Anathem. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anathem) But in the meantime good glass has its place.

And, here's the thing: camera lenses, properly cared for, can last a lot longer than camera bodies. If the body craps out get a new body that fits your glass.

Currency value is relative, and since the invention of the internet more countries are financially dependent upon each other than they were before.

Debt in Spain, debt in the USA, debt in Greece, debt in former Soviet countries, debt in Japan, debt in China, what's the difference? Since most industrialized nations have allowed their business owner classes to bribe their way into paying less in taxes than is required to fund their governments, public debt is ubiquitous as a solution to insufficient tax revenue.

For country XYZ to have money worth more than country ABC due to your hypothetical question, there has to be a government somewhere with stable financial markets and significantly less debt than other countries. At present, to my knowledge, no such place exists.

I ran into the same issue when I was in the market for a laptop a year or two ago. In particular, it's difficult to find a 15" laptop with a 1920x1080 matte screen that doesn't have a dual gpu setup. I was also looking for something that wouldn't break the bank.

I ended up getting an ASUS f510ua (cheap variant with a 1TB 5200rpm hdd) and adding a 256GB m.2 ssd for my boot drive. 8GB ram and an i5 8250U. Found a deal on the laptop so the total cost ended up ~$600 USD, although I think m.2 ssds are cheaper now. I've been pretty happy with the performance; it's just enough to comfortably do Android dev (I use vim though, not Android Studio).

The aspect I had to compromise on was build quality. The body is plastic and especially the screen has little reinforcement to bending specifically. It's not completely flimsy but I don't like carrying it around open in crowded/public spaces where it's more likely I'll bump into something and I wouldn't bet on it surviving a fall unscathed (my previous laptop, a Dell XPS 14, did exactly that, from college dorm bed to uncarpeted floor). It has also grown a single dead pixel, that I don't notice in regular use.

I expected the build quality going in, and overall I'm pretty happy with the purchase. I used it for 8+ hours daily for 9 months when I was separated from my desktop.
> how would you link notes, then?

I number each slip when I create it, and when I need to reference it I just write [$NUMBER].

I started with a slip numbered 1. I add a new numeral whenever the topic is sufficiently different from any other topic. When a slip fits in with an existing topic, I insert it between cards, giving it a letter. So if 1 were programming languages, maybe 1a is Lisp. Then if I need to move a level down I just go back to numerals: maybe 1d3 is some notes on a Lua interpreter.

But I don't get too hung up on the numbers: as long as similar slips are just somewhat near one another, that's good enough. The goal is to accidentally run into similar thoughts (otherwise one could just number them sequentially, and not worry that card 1,467 is a Lua compiler and 1,468 is a recipe for mutton).

Here in Sweden, the public record goes in effect only after the investigation has been closed. Before that it is kept secret. The record can also be partially hidden in some circumstances in order to protect the integrity of the victim.

And even when its public record, there is a large consensus that some of it should not be published to a larger audience. There was a now old incident where pirate bay had a torrent of a public record covering the investigation of death of several children. It was one of the few torrents that if I recall right, the pirate bay voluntarily took down. A lot of people commented that police should have used more discretion in what they put in the public record.

Body cams has the same issue. It is good that they exist. There is however cases when the record should be kept secret. The default should always be transparency, with exceptions when there is good reason to keep it away from the public. As a obvious example, the body cam recording from a police arriving to a rape scene with the undressed victim should not be public record.

That's unfortunate. FWIW I'm using both an old-style dock (ye olde bottom connector) and the Thunderbolt 3 Dock with a T470s and a T480s with Arch and NixOS. Displayport and HDMI both working fine after first doing the latest updates using fwupd and then running additional updates for laptop/controller/dock from Windows (first step probably redundant).

If it's the Thunderbolt 3 Dock, it can be worth checking that you're using the right ports/cables (not all USB-C ports are Thunderbolt ports) and that there's sufficient power (there are different power adapter alternatives and the 135W brick that shipped with my dock wasn't enough by itself so still need a separate charging cable for the laptop).
Outrage as U.S. police kill son of Gambian diplomat in Georgia
That's cool. I think though that framing the overall problem as starting from pushing and pulling an irregularly shaped object over irregular ground would be much more interesting. "Discovering" sliding, and "discovering" tipping and then rounding would be a nice hack. That seems like a reachable problem in today's RL if you score "the game" in terms of net exerted force, and if you represent both the shape of the ground and shape of the object as mutable ...

Why do journalists have such a complex?

Investigative jouralism is pretty much dead, most just repost news from other sources nowadays or focus on banal local news but they still have these weird delusions of grandeur that they are defending free speech by getting whacked by police like the rest of the rioters.
The second item under "journalists attacked" is a cameraman who said he was attacked (and then rescued) by protesters. Is the goal here to count both attacks by authorities and civilians?

It's actually really cool in a weird way in that it's measurably consistent. I live somewhere in the west and have skin of the moderately darker variety and the amount of general street racism I face is directly correlated with the length of my beard.
Thanks for your feedback.

Just to be clear, its more than a show of hands because you choose how many tokens you want to stake. So in the Reddit example, if those 5% were willing to stake more, they’d have majority.

I chose to not go with a choose your trust model because I think the truthfulness information is a ‘what’ question, and checking ‘who’ only goes so far. But once those trustworthy users earn more tokens, they should have a larger influence on the system. Perhaps that would interest you?
A level 4 virus lab had major incident at 16.09.2019: some equipment was stolen from lab, because of fire blast. Incident was caught on video. After that spike of pneumonia cases of unknown origin happens. Now, testing shows that people already have antibodies for SARS-CoV-2, but no virus, and they were not sick for two months, so they had it for at least two months before anybody else. However, lab is not in China, which Trump hates, but in another country near to China, which Trump loves.

First, that's not noise. Second, modern ILC sensors have dynamic range to spare; you can usually pull a couple stops of detail on both sides in post. Third, if you want HDR, which is what you're talking about here anyway, modern ILCs can do it and have been able to for years. You set it up like bracketing and it assembles the shots in camera just like a phone does.

Even if there are 95% false positive: if you're able to test all those people and catch the 5% that might still be a net profit. It comes down to cost. Societies are spending thousands of billions to mitigate the problem, even a slight reduction of that number is a win.

As a marketer myself, it's not that we don't trust our skills, it's that few things happen in short term. If I'm going to work with you with commisions it's because I have trust in your product in the long run (2+ years, at least).

I have a new X1 Carbon 7th gen, and it was definitely a lot of work to get it set up. But after tinkering and some kernel updates (Fedora >> Ubuntu for new hardware) I couldn't be happier. Incredible performance, all day battery life, etc. I have a friend who got their finger print sensor working but I never bothered to try.

I also have had great experience with fwup. I've gotten tons of bios, firmware, microcode etc updates from Lenovo and they all apply seamlessly.

I think Linux support of new hardware is always going to be shaky unless we can get vendors to care and support it themselves. Otherwise, we have to wait and let the open source devs make drivers after the hardware is released.
Neat. I wonder what the breakdown is?

>A last option is a LESS-like lifeboat assembled from lander components. Surface to orbit on a convertible has some appeal.

Already considered in Apollo days:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_escape_systems

A very simple "rocket chair" using residual fuel from the LEM. There were also variants for regular use during exploration using only leftover propellant from the descent stage.

Flown manually all the way to lunar orbit due to guidance computer being to heavy back then:

"Guidance in typical LESS designs was simple: an 'eight-ball' to show spacecraft attitude, a clock to show time since liftoff, and a planned pitch program. The Apollo Guidance Computer used as an autopilot for the CSM and LM had a mass of around a hundred pounds and consumed a significant amount of power, so computer controlled flight was out of the question. This would be one of the few cases where an astronaut flew a rocket manually all the way to orbit, and with far less instrumentation than normal."

It is definitely not trivially true about anything. A golf ball can be modelled easily. You are adding external complications to the system. An electron can be impossible to model if you inject it into a complex system.

Anyway the point is a golf ball will not evolve into a sentient being who will then fly to mars and write poetry, which is what cells have done. This shows you can’t even put a meaningful bound on what you need to model for an organism.
The type of socially accepted people has changed, because capitalism now profits more from a different type of people compared to 100 years ago. Social progress is an illusion.
... yes? Of course I look at the subset of people who are today counted as weirdos. How else would one evaluate the social treatment of weirdos?

If you're going to argue a change, I think that you need to show that either (1) the total number of people considered "weirdos" has changed, or (2) weirdos are no longer treated as poorly. I find (2) very implausible (and notice that in the linked article, the people in question are responding to very mild forms of social disapproval), and I don't think that (1) really holds up, but I'm willing to hear an argument.
