To be clear, this is auto-follow-focus for video, not autofocus for stills. The post title is the same as the site, but really you wouldn't bother with this for stills. Follow focus is useful or essential for video production. On large shoots, there is a person dedicated to twisting a large knob which usually has white tape on it so the operator can write on marks for various focus depths that the director wants to hit at different times in the scene. Sometimes these follow focus systems are semi-automated to allow for smooth controlled transitions from one pre-rehearsed focus point to another.

The particular lens this is being demoed on is a 50mm f0.95, which will have a very shallow depth of field. Any minor focus error will be very apparent.
To be fair, there's really very little point to having a code for your luggage. The amount of added security it gives is laughable.
>We need to stop this trend of calling anti-equal rights views "politics" as a way of playing down their severity. If your personal opinions are that others don't deserve the same basic rights that you have you should face the consequences of holding those beliefs.

I believe that who and how one loves is no one else's business except that of the consenting adults involved. Full stop. No equivocation, no caveats.

Anyone else needs to mind their own fucking business.

However, trashing someone's career because of their personal beliefs (with the caveat that those beliefs play no role in their professional position) is wrong.

Assuming Eich didn't bring those beliefs into the office (whether that be by his speech or actions as an employee), it's irrelevant to his job.

If we believe in liberty (such as the right of consenting adults to love how they need to do so), then we have to accept that others have liberty too -- within the constraint that the exercise of one's liberty doesn't impinge on the liberty of others[0].

Want to hate on Eich because he's a homophobe? Go for it. Want to call him out on his homophobia? Get on wit' yo' bad self!

But none of that had anything to do with Eich's qualifications or ability to run Mozilla.

What if you had a homophobic boss who hounded you out of your job because of your beliefs? Is that right?

If you want to have a truly free society, you need to allow unpopular opinions to be held and expressed. And unless and until those opinions/beliefs actually impinge on the rights of others, we should tolerate (note I say 'tolerate' not embrace, endorse or accept) them.

>So when you reach for The Mind Illuminated, which is a 400 page book, and trivialize the 390 pages of good pragmatic instructions on improving concentration and insight skills because you read 10 pages of spiritual mumbo-jumbo, you're missing a powerful opportunity.

This is just so crazy to me. We have a book that claims to be scientific while making absolute absurd statements without any comment, why wouldn't we dismiss it? It's a bit hyperbolic, but imagine if "Introduction to Electrodynamics" included a chapter on how to use magnets to communicate with god. To me it would absolutely ruin what is otherwise an amazing resource, because it fundamentally ruins my ability to trust the source. It doesn't matter if the rest of it is actually legitimate and good, either they're unable or unwilling to separate what is legitimate knowledge and what is religion.

Honestly, I'm actually rahter disturbed by the book's reception. It's a well received best seller that even on the (supposedly) skeptical HN is praised without a caveat. Not only that, but if you look into a lot of meditation forums, a lot of people into meditation do genuinely believe in the supernatural stuff. I can't imagine a better sign to show that we're not skeptical enough.

>The fact is that if you sit quietly and pay attention to your breath for a couple hours a day, some very transformative stuff will eventually start happening all on its own.

Sure and if you state it that way, I'd wager most people wouldn't dismiss it. The issue is that 99% of the time, this is not how it's sold.

>But as a society, we mostly aren't willing to do that because of attitudes like that displayed in your post

Sure, but without this attitude it's also a lot easier to fall for (intentional or unintentional) bullshit of all sorts. I used to be really into chaos magick (same deal basically, natural 'brain hacking') and I'm pretty sure without this attitude I would have turned into of the crazies who thinks their self inflicted psychosis means they have the powers to alter reality.

The fact that most people in meditation forums either outright admit believing the supernatural stuff or are incredibly evasive about it (just like with chaos magick), says more than enough in my opinion.

>My point was that we shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater in the name of being good scientists.

We shouldn't, but we should also be as skeptic as possible and dismiss people who seamlessly interweave facts and fiction, because that's also how conspiracy theorists and nonsensical "alternative medicine" quacks sell their craft.
I want to strongly echo this. I personally manage a VERY talented Eastern European developer. I recently raised their compensation in a way that shocked them as it was a 20% raise in the middle of a global pandemic.

> I might be mistaken but reading comments on HN from googlers, I remember Chrome being a docs outcome as a better browser can support web productivity software well.

A narrative Googlers might tell you, sure. But that has no historical reality. Chrome, is, of course, the brainchild of Sundar Pichai, prior to which was in charge of the Google Toolbar, a pack-in that Google paid Adobe and other companies to inject into their software installers to change the search provider on IE to Google.

Chrome was developed out of a (not unfounded) fear that Microsoft would intervene and block the Google Toolbar from IE. (Microsoft hesitated solely because they themselves were pretty scared of getting hit with antitrust violations again.)

The Google Toolbar, and it's direct successor, Chrome, came explicitly and exclusively out of a desire to set people's search provider to Google and to enable collecting user browsing data, which of course, leads to ads. Glowing biographies of Sundar Pichai that came out around when he became CEO all testify to this.

An example is https://marketrealist.com/2019/12/a-history-of-googles-visio...
Not to defend the intelligence apparatus in the US (and several other Western countries) but hypocrisy would imply the US is actually acting on its intelligence to target or influence its own people along a similar vein as many authoritarian countries with policies widely criticized in the US. I think that's a very low bar, and we should be able to criticize the US system even though it doesn't have these widespread far-reaching powers, i.e. without resorting to hyperbole.
It's too bad they didn't. Otherwise, we could run istio and nginx-service-mesh side by side, and use dns to traffic-split between them. And then it would be network traffic splits all the way down, into retries and fail-overs in the app logic.
Provided the company you work for still exists. In your case that might be a given but overall I think the coming six months will be written about in history books a century from now. Of all the crises that I've seen in my life to date (Oil crisis (73), black Monday (87), .com bust (2000), Global financial crisis (2009) and this one I think this one is by far the most disruptive and serious. We'll see how it plays out but so far the experience here in NL is absolutely surreal. And the worst is yet to come by all indicators.

> we wouldn't excuse someone who was against equal rights for women or people of another race because it's their "personal politics" and they're entitled to their view

I would. I considered RMS's previous personal politics on pedophilia similarly deplorable and distasteful and I actively, financially support him as Chief Gnuisance because it was his personal politics and he is entitled to his view, and all humans are naturally imperfect and many of the most brilliant in some ways have the greatest weaknesses in others. I still like Roald Dahl's books after learning about his antisemitism and I don’t resent Terry Davis over his racism.
>> Laborers couldn't really ask for higher wages, because that was politically impossible

Not just politically impossible, illegal:

>> World War II disrupted those trends. As demand for everything — particularly labor — climbed, Congress passed the Stabilization Act of 1942, which allowed the president to freeze wages and salaries for all the nation's workers. A day after its passage, President Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order invoking these powers, which applied to "all forms of direct or indirect remuneration to an employee," including but not limited to salaries and wages, as well as "bonuses, additional compensation, gifts, commissions, fees."

But there was an exemption of massive proportions slipped into a fateful clause: "insurance and pension benefits" could grow "in a reasonable amount" during the freeze."

- https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-obamaca...

And, relevant to today's discussion:

>> By slapping corporations with tax rates of 80 or even up to 90 percent on any profits in excess of prewar revenue, Congress all but guaranteed a frenzied search for loopholes.

Also interesting to note that the change in question wasn't a switch from workers paying for their own health insurance to it being paid for by employers. Prior to WW2 less than 10% of Americans had any form of health insurance, by the end of the war it was close to 30%.
Also, this is what you're paying for. I have a couple of legacy RDS databases which have been running for a decade. When you're making a promise to a large number of customers that you're going to support something for the long term it's understandable that you're going to be conservative and probably run some sort of closed beta for long enough to get solid operational experience.
There are a couple of issues at play. One is that there's so much interesting stuff going on that I (and most of my colleagues) tend to volunteer ourselves for lots of projects, which results in us going "deep" on a couple of projects at the expense of not having enough time to go "wide" by attending lots of talks that aren't directly related to our own work. That part's on me and I really could make more time in my schedule if I just said "no" more often (but again, I don't say "yes" because I'm pressured to do so, I say "yes" because the work is really fun and interesting!).

The other question is why we have so many meetings per project. That one's tougher to tackle and I don't really have an answer. The one thing that I have identified is that we're very in to making sure that everyone has their say on things before taking action. That's a good thing overall, but it also leads to tremendous meeting bloat. A meeting that would only take 5 minutes if everyone restricted themselves to discussing critical issues before making a decision regularly takes a full hour in which we examine every pitfall, no matter how minor.

WhatsApp is a loss leader that allows Facebook to infer the social graphs of people through their contacts list (even those that are not Facebook users) which they can then monetize, either directly (if they are Facebook users, by showing better-targeted ads) or indirectly (by using non-Facebook users as "gateways" to infer relationships between existing Facebook users which would then be used to better target ads).
Plenty of dieters do this themselves with protein fluff/"ice cream" (protein shakes with ice and xanthum gum). Overweight people almost by definition eat by volume not by calories (ie they eat more than their body needs for caloric maintenance).

So these whipped products seem pretty useful.
But most people seem to have no such ethical dilemma. The dilemma only exists for those whose political views are already opposed to those of the project owners, and who refuse to contribute on that account - neither a neutral or apolitical position, but one of intransigent political opposition.

So rather than simply avoiding ethical dilemmas in favor of cooperation (because plenty of people are cooperating) what's being advocated here is concession to anti-BLM advocates exclusively as a prerequisite for their participation, and those are the only people condemning or demanding exclusion of anything (specifically, the political views of the project owners.)

Because again, no one is saying that people who don't support BLM aren't allowed to participate.

It's open source software, and as is often mentioned when someone objects to a project owner's right-wing views, software is apolitical, and contributing in and of itself is not advocacy. And forking is always an option.

I'm afraid I don't think you answered my question on why BLM removed that page. In fact it was misleading for you to suggest it was "just moved to other pages under the about tab and the wording refined over time". According to the archives, this is completely false.

The entire page I mentioned in my second comment was 'removed' and almost no edits to the About page were made after its removal. The page itself and the reasons for its removal is the 'obfuscation' by BLM. Who knows, perhaps you know?

We could have a conversation, but perhaps you need to answer the question and actually come with actual evidence rather than misleading suggestions.
When the first, and arguably only, philosopher cited in an article like this is Karl Marx (with a shout-out to Stalin no less), you tend to discount the author.

Because of F5 and because of nginx-plus. They keep trying to push the closed stuff, but that's not what people want. We don't mind paying, but we do mind not having public sources.

Ironically, this is practically stillborn unless people are already nginx-plus customers, as everyone else is using Istio (with Envoy) or bare Envoy or Traefik or Consul Connect or HAProxy or Linkerd or any of the other billion options out there. And when you are an nginx-plus customer you are unlikely to have a model where a mesh fits in. For a mesh to make sense you need to have more than just a need for service discovery; i.e. you have to have dynamic locations and counts of sources and destinations (or as people say: Kubernetes with automatic rollout waves and lots of changes and deploys all day long). The scenario where you have 'all the cool toys' but also 'need' nginx-plus (and NSM) seems unlikely to me.

It's important to take the 2nd Amendment WITH the 3rd Amendment. They complement each other in the framers eyes. Also, it's important to understand that contemporary terms muddy the waters.

The framers considered the military to be the only arm of force the government held. The police force wasn't a thing at the time. The 3rd Amendment says the government shall not quarter forces with the people, more or less. This seems to imply that the military shouldn't be deployed amongst the population as a means of applying the force of the government, which has a monopoly on force. Understanding the 3rd Amendment in this context provides a very clear picture of the 2nd Amendment. The people should have a well-regulated militia, with which they police themselves.
