And how exactly would that have competed with five hundred other brands that didn't pull that trick? The market eventually rejected even the soft-lockin of nonstandard memory cards (think of the 12 slots nobody ever uses that come with every SD/CompactFlash reader)

I'm not even sure it was the first wave of digital cameras that did them in-- people bought boatloads of digital Kodaks in the 2000s. I recall they were very big on dock ecosystems-- drop the camera on a base to charge it, and I think they had some printer docks. That should have helped to differentiate them from cheap Olympus/Nikon/Canon/etc. point-and-shoot cameras.

Yeah, there wasn't the residual income but there was a fair bit of an upgrade cycle for a few years to make up for it, which could have bought them time to find a solid place in the market.

I think the problem was the second wave: the point-and-shoot consumer camera disappeared (outside of novelties like Instax). After 2015 or so, you're either looking at interchangeable lens systems or other prosumer/pro-level kit, or you're using a phone. Kodak never made much of an inroad in the pro-level digital market, and I'm not sure they had a business adaptable to cameraphone sales-- I don't think they made their own sensors or optics, so a licensing or subcontracting business would have nothing to offer.

That's good to know. My comment was borne out of the uncertainty around pymc4 with tensorflow. We are currently using Stan in production and have been hesitant to pull the trigger on pymc3/4 due to this uncertainty.

My initial read was OP specifically chose obtuse phrasing in order to cast a malicious tone on the situation.

There is no positive attribute to describe something as “slithering”. Not only does it carry negative connotations, it also poor fits the patients behavior.

So
Purposeful use of negative phraseology.
Incorrect usage of negative phraseology highlighting the willful choice of such words.

Perhaps the OP is a poor English speaker, if that’s the case, He should not be defended, this negative reaction is a social teaching aid.

As another example of something orchestration-like ("run 17 processes where possible on this 100 node cluster"), there were also OpenMOSIX and Beowulf clusters on Linux, which if I remember right would load balance work across available systems, in the same way that the kernel's scheduler balances work across CPU cores.

> The court will assume that no reasonable person would agree to a contract without reading the contents and consulting with a lawyer

That's what I always do when I go to the grocery store to buy eggs and to Office Depot to buy printer ink. I call my lawyer and say "It's that time again, I have to buy some printer paper, ink, carrots, eggs and cheese, so that's five contracts for you to read and verify, we should be done in less than a day!". With very reasonable price of $400 per hour, I don't even have to ask what the actual items cost, compared to the expense for the contact reading it's peanuts anyway. Oh, btw, need to call the lawyer about the contract for peanuts, I'm almost out!
As mentioned above, it may not be appropriate for everyone, particularly those who are underweight or very ill

I have an incurable, serious condition. In recent years, I'm fairly regularly too broke to eat adequately. As a consequence, I fast or semi-fast part of most months.

I've slowly gotten healthier. Fasting or semi-fasting is not the only reason by any stretch of the imagination.

Anecdotally, it's gotten easier as I've gotten healthier.

I read once (or heard from someone) that if you cut calories by 80 percent -- a figure not shown in their chart defining their terms -- it triggers the "starvation" response. Your body thinks you are starving, much as if you weren't eating at all.

I have found that semi-fasting -- eating maybe 20 percent of normal calories -- has fasting-like benefits for my condition while being much, much easier to endure as someone with a real serious and incurable medical condition.

This is absolutely not medical advice of any sort for anyone. I am not a doctor. I'm a person with a chronic illness running my mouth on the internet.
Related question. I'm trying to sample something with no gradient information (messy astronomical likelihood computation). I'm currently using emcee which uses a Goodman-Weare sampler which breaks down with too many parameters. Are there any better samplers which don't need a gradient?
Admittedly I liked Django's database layer but using it in Real World production has also left me feeling kind of... eh. Having automigrations and an ORM is fantastic 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time almost ruins the magic entirely. The ORM is not a panacea like SQLAlchemy nearly is. Issues with migrations in production can get surprisingly tricky surprisingly quick.

The rest though I do not miss at all. Middleware patching attributes directly into the request object? Python's sad excuse for incremental typing? Ignoring the database bits of Django I struggle to find anything that I don't enjoy doing more in Go. I was a HUGE fan of Django REST Framework and assorted boilerplate for a long time, but I am so extremely glad to be off that ride. Yeah, it lets you do really cool, complex things succinctly and cleverly. The problem is that it lets you do really cool, complex things succinctly and cleverly. The cleverness becomes the enemy. I now have learned to appreciate code that is utterly stupid, obvious, nearly braindead. Every codepath is screaming at you. That is Go in a nutshell. if err != nil { ... } ad nauseam. Sounds terrible... but it kind of isn't.

There are some things I would not use Go for. Game development is one of those things. Web servers, though? If you are going to be doing serious work in production environments, Go is absolutely among the best choices.

I am still, however, looking forward to trying Rust more and more. My initial impressions with Rocket.rs have been lukewarm. (One thing that is bothersome but not quite a deal breaker is compile times. A lot of crates make the experience bad almost immediately.)

What would happen if you took a month off work and all your obligations and stayed home and didn't take anything for a whole month? My understanding is the human body can't go more than about 10 days without sleep [1].

So I assume at that point you would fall asleep, and then over the coming ~20 days hopefully you could normalize it and get back to some kind of unassisted "regular" sleeping.... ?

I see your point, but nesting has to be expressible somehow with ascii. I suspect this is better addressed by an IDE or a customized screen reader.

BTW, I find the parens in Lisp to be hopeless even as a sighted person, and even spending considerable effort trying to format it to make it clear. It's one reason why I customized my text editor with a "matching paren" command, which is a life saver. (It also matches braces and square brackets, even #if/#ifdef/#ifndef/#else/#elif/#endif.)
> They get higher scores relative to their honest peers

This is predicated on the assumption that, as an educator, you provide formal assessments of your students' capability, intended for third-party consumption. I keep saying this shouldn't happen. It makes no sense to assume, in the world where it doesn't happen, that it will nevertheless happen anyway. The assessment should be done elsewhere, by someone who is not responsible for educating anyone.

Under this structure, it would be possible for cheaters to mess up the teacher's assessment of their proficiency, and by extension the overall proficiency of a group of students. But it is strange to assume that they would do this, because -- I asked this above -- what benefit would they derive from doing this? If this action had any effect, that effect would be to move the curriculum onward from material they don't understand to material they understand even less. That is a harm to the cheater. The problem just doesn't arise.
One important aspect that should be mentioned is that OpenEBS is essentially a block storage system (think virtual hard drives, which need to be formatted with dfs/ext4) and by its nature can't expose the same files to multiple pods.

Ceph(FS) and other distributed file systems allow you to access your data from any number of machines. Also they provide faster and more robust failover as they don't have to unplug the virtual hard drive and repair the local file system.

This is more RPC style. I used to prefer this approach because that way you're not constrained to the Nxx error codes of http; it's just request, response. Having worked in a few companies since then, it seems odd to me now. Besides, all your middleware etc is probably going to use status codes conventionally, so your application code's 2xx error responses will stick out like a sore thumb.

"Odin"? The truth comes out.

I confess I am also not very impressed by the idea of organizing a whole language around ownership. But that doesn't make move semantics a problem.

It is a problem that Rust doesn't let you code your own move. It is another problem that C++ allows it to fail, or to decay to an ordinary copy.

In today's world, with food available so easily, I find it admirable of people who can eat with modesty. If you think about it, humans were not always able to sleep with a full belly, sometimes they had to starve a little while trying to find food. And I think it's acceptable to those who do a lot of intensive physical work to eat more. But for someone like me, who spends most of the time sitting on a chair, doing the extraneous work of typing and clicking, less caloric food is probably fine. However, I think that quality food that's beneficial for the brain is essential for intellectual workers like me, but not sugary foods - that's energetic cheating
Calorie restriction might be a way to prevent cancer, but involuntary calorie restriction is something many cancer patients have to deal with and it certainly does not cure cancer. My grandma managed to live quite a while with advanced pancreatic cancer which caused severe caloric restriction, but in the end the cancer won.
Why? Please explain for those of us like me who don't understand.
If you push the argument of OP further you have:

> According to the Carbon Fund you can offset your CO2 emissions for $10 per metric ton. US citizen produce an average of 16 ton per year.
So you can solve global warming by just 160$ per year per head, it's really not a big deal.

For me this 10$ per CO2 ton is extremely misleading. It maybe correct for now, but as soon as more people try to offset their CO2, the price will skyrock, because there isn't many 10$ per ton opportunity for CO2 offsetting.

Please tell us why this is a conspiracy theory. The article has references to the data sources, including web-archived snapshots of official government websites.
Between two charged particles (electric or maybe neutral particles by gravity) is some force. Moving them away will require energy.
So e.g. you put two charged particles in this expanding space, the ongoing expansion will cause some energy which can be harvested? Can we build our "Zero point modul" which generates energy out of "nothing".

We dont even need particles for this effect since this is based on virtuell particles which ghostly appear and disappear (the Casimir effect)?
Or maybe a proper medium would suit better (more particles more energy from expansion) e.g. the densest object like a black hole in this expanding space machine?
The thing about Benford’s law isn’t a conspiracy theory. It isn’t evidence necessarily proving fraud, either, but it is an important finding that warrants further investigation.

Understanding Porter's Five Forces
Porter's Five Forces is a business analysis model that helps explain why different industries are able to maintain different levels of profitability. The model was published in Michael E. Porter's book, "Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors" in 1980.1 The Five Forces Model is widely used to analyze a company's industry structure as well as company strategy. Porter identified five undeniable forces that play a role in shaping every market and industry in the world, with a few caveats. The five forces are frequently used to measure the intensity of competition and the attractiveness and profitability of an industry or a market.

https://www.gold-pattern.com/

Porter's five forces are:

1. Competition in the industry

2. The potential of new entrants in the industry

3. Power of suppliers

4. Customer power

5. The Threat of Substitute Products 1

توصيات العملات

Competition in the industry

The first of the five forces indicates the number of competitors and their ability to undermine the company. The more competitors, along with the number of equivalent products and services they offer, the less powerful the firm will be. Suppliers and buyers seek to compete with the company if they are able to offer a better deal or lower prices. On the contrary, when the competitive rivalry is low, the firm has more ability to charge higher prices and set terms of deals to achieve higher sales and profits.

The Five Forces Model can help companies increase profits, but they must constantly monitor any changes in the Five Forces and adjust their business strategy.

My sister suffered severe TBI from a car accident for 15 years before she eventually passed last year. It was pretty shocking to witness the lack of knowledge in regards to how the human brain works, and more specifically lacking in how to heal/treat an injured brain.

Immediately following the accident, we saw other patients in the same condition as her and tracked their progress for comparison sake. The common theme was that patients either made significant progress (with motor skills, talking, etc) within the first 0-3 weeks, or not really at all. It seemed like once scar-tissue started forming in the brain, critical brain connectivity began to get blocked (not necessarily broken). If we can better understand the underlying mechanism behind the "signal blocking" vs "signal un-blocking" aspect seen using this drug in TBI patients, it would be a huge win for all brain related conditions.
Effect of the intake of dietary protein on insulin resistance
End of the day, while I could make an argument that my job (working on testing tools for safety critical software) makes things better in the grand scheme of things, I know that it doesn’t have a direct human impact like my wife’s nursing or even an impact through society like my parents’ scientific research.

In the end that’s fine, there was a point in my life when I had to prioritize things, and I chose to prioritize making money to support a family. It’s not my absolute priority job wise but it’s the reason I keep working whenever I get discouraged.

And I have a good family, and while I might get a chance to make some other legacy someday, I am pretty happy with my legacy being my family.

But I do try to keep some sight of the good of the wider world, and so I try to be generous as much as I can.

This doesn’t necessarily maximize my impact, I think the swirling tides of history make any long term impact calculations a bit arbitrary, but it gives me a life that most of the time I can be proud of, and that is more than enough

I don't see much evidence for that being true at least if we're talking about large, complex, modern markets.

Whether it's the stock market, or the European common market, or the Amazon ecommerce section, everywhere you can see very strict, imposed legibility. Order, schemata and standardization and smoothing expectations through very formal, top-down rules on how to conduct oneself become more and more common as a market increases in size and/or complexity.
