Disagree. The best mirrorless cameras, say A7iv/A1, are a lot better at focusing than any DSLR. Not only do they focus accurately, but they have eye-detection AF. Yes, it will take slightly longer for them to give you the AF confirmation in some scenarios, but that's because they only give focus confirmation when it's actually perfectly sharp on the sensor. No DSLR can do that, because of the way dedicated phase detection sensors work.

As far as battery life, you're right, but now that battery banks are a thing I don't think it's a real issue for those days you're going to be shooting for 4+ hours, and otherwise they're just so convenient to charge by usb-c
I've signed up for a trial, I'd be interested in testing it out.
Yeah, on top of that, as someone pointed out in the comment section on the page linked:

"See that green dot on the top of the right picture? That is an assembly inspection mark that someone put there at the factory to indicate the caliper was 100% correct and inspected.
Guess that person is bad at their job."
I could hear these large thuds all the way from the top of the south island, NZ, in the hills and at around the same time others were reporting it. Definitely heard like 20+ of these sounds, just assumed it was some anti-pest thing going off at random intervals but it was pine forest so doubt it was that.

In the digital world one mistake I found myself doing a couple times was that I found a great new Todo list tool, started using it, and in my enthusiasm for the new tool and my potential future with it I added a bunch of useless todo items.

And after a month or so it was disused. After a year I'd find it and feel slight shame.

But this last iteration of todo list usage might be different, hopefully. It came during a stressful time. I am good at managing stress though so all I needed was a way to remember what people wanted from me. And that's where the todo list came in.

So far so good, I'm 2 months in, the longest I've ever used a todo list.
Gamma is basically a logarithmic light correction. It is a digital reflection of an original analog process. Color correction is a much more intricate and subtle thing. Digital cameras have color bias (for example, they tend to like red, a lot, while film liked greens and blues). Color correction makes sure that the colors that come out, can be accurately correlated to the ones that came in. You can also do some cool things, by remapping into different color spaces (a lot of image processing is done by changing the data to a new color space, and playing with the channels).

We’re talking the viewfinder, so it is latency. It is also FPS. The viewfinder can be slightly relaxed, but pros will want the viewfinder to be highly representative of the final outcome. Latency is critical, because they use the viewfinder to make the decision when to snap the image, or set the scene.

The final output can be slightly more relaxed, with post processing in a buffer. Video makes that a lot more intense.

That’s why you have a limit to how many frames you can have in a burst. They get fed into a buffer, for post processing.

Another big advance will be true electronic shutters. I’m not sure we’re there yet.
Fun to imagine an alternate history where https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Archimedes shipped with Smalltalk as OS. (I've never tried that hardware and I'm not sure if the first model would really be zippy enough. But it's a machine with plenty of fans, and obviously a better future than the 68000's.)
My point would be that by it's nature, regardless of content, NPR appeals to a different set of listeners than Fox News does. The useful comparison would be between NPR and talk radio, which seems easy: there's a lot of conservative talk radio.
100% support this. It's unbelievable that my 100k+ DSLR photos over 15 years are not connected to their location when it would have been so easy. (I would have gladly carried a multiple pound extra battery to support always-on GPS).

(Todo)Lists are a very useful tool, when used effectively. They need to be accompanied by a list of principles though. Here are a few:

- Review them regularly to keep them current. Pull out your lists whenever you have the time. Add new subtasks, check off done tasks, reorg lists if necessary. Keep your lists alive.

- Focus on the most valuable tasks first. One hint for what is important: Do the tasks you avoid most.

- Block chunks of time for uninterrupted work.

- Don‘t try to do too many tasks on one day. Don‘t overschedule.

It does not matter which tools you use. Emacs+Orgmode, Things3, OmniFocus (my fav), TaskPaper, etc. Just choose one tool and stick with it. Don‘t think the grass is greener on the other side. Don‘t switch systems constantly when your current system seems overwhelming. It will be overwhelming when you didn’t keep it current. Just review and reorg your system regularly and keep it alive.

Edit:
Forgot the most important principle: Don’t think that you can accomplish all the things that are on your lists. In life you are constantly forced to decide what to pick up and what to give up. Constant trade-offs. Never think that all the things on your lists should be done either. The hardest part is to realize that on a meta level you can change structures that create tasks that shouldn’t be done at all, at least not by you. This meta analysis is the hardest part. Looking at all the commitments you silently make, the roles you accepted silently now generating tons of work you shouldn’t be doing.
Sure, I think that's true, but it was an event of such magnitude that there's a clear state interest in regulating against it! They had to evacuate a huge area around the disaster, for some time. Sure, it was a best-case scenario, but it was the best case of a worst case.

(I support nuclear power, for whatever that's worth. I think it's a good idea and we should do a lot more of it.)

I mean, recruiters get paid sizable commissions for each hire they make, and they really dont care where you went to school as long as they can sell you to the company. If you can sell yourself to a recruiter (low bar) then you can get an interview.
Ditto. I have a 2010 Prius that burns oil. The dealer told me it’s a known issue at 100k miles. Offered to sell me a used engine with 70k miles to fix it.. Problem was he admitted there was a pretty good chance at 100k+ miles the oil burn would come back on the replacement.

No recall, just a ‘known’ defect. Oh, and because they know my car has a defect they made it clear that my trade in value would suffer if I wanted to upgrade to their latest and greatest model.

At the margin, most companies (probably close to 100% for many sectors) do not make money from code quality. I'd argue it's actually pretty far from the margin for most companies. See the overwhelming shittiness of almost every software product that's been around for more than a couple of years. Almost all products get worse over time but still some companies make more money. IP and market position are much more important. I think this can also explain why so many very successful companies never launch a successful second product: they didn't initially succeed because they're so much better at development than everyone else, they succeeded because of the serendipity of the initial product.
Yep. Want to accept onchain bitcoin? When a customer wants to pay, generate a fresh address. Store that address in a dab associated with the customer id. When they come for the service, see if that address has received payment. Easy peasy. You can run your own node and do this all yourself, or you can use services that run the software for you and work on callbacks or api calls.

Want to accept lightning (bitcoin over a low cost and high speed payment network)? It’s an api call to generate an invoice and another api call to see if that invoice has been paid. Again you can run everything yourself or use a managed service. Bitcoin make programmatic payment processing SO MUCH EASIER than traditional payment rails.

Homework: go back through my comments and identify all the places where I was VERY CLEARLY pointing out that my statement is that no disk-backed file is needed, or where you could reasonably infer this from my use of the term "file-backed", as well as from the general context of the discussion.

> shm_open("/TESTOBJECT"

>>That's a file path

Pedantically, no. It's a name (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/shm_open.3.html) that identifies a memory object that is only coincidentally also mapped to the file path "/dev/shm/TESTOBJECT" on a typical linux. shm_open() returns an "FD", though.

On Linux, as a sibling poster noted, you could also use mmap(.. MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, /*fd*/ -1 ...) , which to my knowledge is entirely "file-free" by any meaning of the term "file". But then again, in my understanding this would only work with child processes because that mapping has to be inherited.

On other OSes, there may be completely different APIs to map shared memory that don't involve anything "file" like, either. Quite honestly I can't point you to any because I do only Linux and Windows, but let's just end the discussion here and let's agree that memory != file. I'm angry at myself for wasting another evening fighting a pointless discussion with somebody who would rather argue than try to get my point.
I picked up my model 3 long range in december also and it was also missing parts. Mine was missing USB ports in the center console and the wireless charging pad for the phone. When i questioned them about they tried to lie about it and said that my phone was the problem. I demanded to speak to the manager who admitted right away that the car was indeed missing a part and that they would fix it later. My front bumper was also scratched and missing paint. They fixed that by replacing the entire bumper. Buying from them is a nightmare.
RAW+Jpeg with a modern mirrorless in Aperture priority and vivid presets does that for me. Send off all the pics into Amazon Photos or Google Photos, put the RAWs in my NAS, and edit them whenever I want to.

Given that before birth, it's the woman's body, and after birth it's the child's body being tested, and there is no clear medical case for paternity testing being a life-saving operation somehow...

---

...a mandatory test puts serious amounts of potential harm in the hands of a field that historically (and as demonstrated by some of the regrettable opinions expressed in this conversation thread), completely ignores the rights and consent of a woman and child while discussing how men might feel or believe about said topics.

Relationships are complex things, and blanket legislation will never respect the full consent of the individuals involved. Give the mother freedom to request a pre-birth paternity test, and the child to request the results once they hit their teens, with confidential results.

Anything past that is a relationship issue (does your spouse / child feel safe telling you the truth?), and any form of mandatory testing pre-birth would very much violate the bodily consent of the mother. Post-birth, if it's not a medically necessary operation, which paternity is not, it waits for when the kid is old enough to understand consent.

Consent is not a debate.
Consent is about functional boundary.
In this case, it is simple:

Not your body? Not your choice.

Enable (their) choice instead of trying to control women and children's bodies, please.
Bias is everywhere and not necessarily malicious. But if you randomly select a percentage of all positive tests for checking for which variant it is, you’ll get a different result than when you randomly check a percentage of all people who end up in the hospital.

i think the point is to benchmark the “what if i did invest in FileCoin” v.s. the “what of i didn’t invest in FileCoin” case. where would your $ be if you didn’t invest in FileCoin? for a lot of people actually making that decision, the default place that money would be is one of Eth/Btc/stablecoins with yield (debt based)/S&P 500 (totally different regulatory area). so if you want to look at the “what if i don’t invest” scenario, without radically changing the other preferences of where that money goes, Eth/Btc comparisons seem pretty reasonable.

Full disclosure: My crypto holdings consist of around 1 ETH and $5 worth of BTC on Coinbase.

Anyone remember Monero? A POW crypto using state of the art cryptography such as ring signatures and Bulletproofs to guarantee private, secure transactions? It's secure enough that almost half of all dark web transactions are done using it despite its market cap being a fraction that of BTC. So secure that the IRS put out a $675,000 bounty for anyone who could find critical vulns. There's RandomX which is Monero's POW algo which is designed to run best on general CPUs and actually run terribly on ASICs? And to top it off, it has transaction fees in the fraction of cents.

With all of the talk by many crypto hustlers about banking the unbanked, "digital freedom", etc., that Monero would be perfect! So, why aren't VCs pouring money into developing it like they are into new web3 stacks?

It's because it's old news. It doesn't get enough eyeballs like a listing on Coinbase. You can't build digital fiefdoms using Monero, no ICOs, no pump and dumps. You can't have middlemen like OpenSea skim off the top and gatekeep. There's no artificial scarcity of coins. Monero isn't "useful" for the vision of web3 that investors have.

Most people don't have the time to read through every single whitepaper put out. It's easier to join a Discord server waiting for an airdrop, to read a bunch of Tweets, and check what's on Coinbase. It's just more convenient.

True, Monero doesn't have smart contract support and there are things like Tornado Cash which can emulate what Monero offers. Monero is still a sizeable player in the space and a lot of developers behind it. On top of that are all the controversies around Monero such as certain bad actors abuse CI integration services to mine it. But as the article points implies, for the majority of crypto investors/whales it's mainly about making a quick buck before moving on to the next pump.

I'm optimistic for a crypto future. Smart contracts are a great idea (though there's polishing needed) and there are other decentralized technologies out there I'm excited for. The Ethereum Foundation, Starkware, and others have helped push new and exciting cryptography research. Hopefully when the next correction comes, all the noise dissipates from the space.
> Straight-up incorrect. Language designers think long and hard about how typings work in their languages. Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, and Russ Cox deliberated generics for like a decade[1] before finally allowing them in Go.

I think that kind of proves their point. Parametric polymorphism is one of the most well-understood, least contentious extensions to the lambda calculus. It's formalized by System F and has been implemented in programming languages 40 years ago with great type inference for an important subset (Hindley-Milner). Yet generics was highly controversial in the Go community. And now since none of the standard library was designed with generics in mind, it's full of unsafe patterns that involve essentially dynamic typing (e.g., the `Value` method of `Context`).

Despite Rob Pike et al. designing one of the most popular languages today (Go), I consider them more experts in systems rather than programming languages.

> I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "proper" -- but "rigid" type systems are extremely cumbersome to use practically. (Typed) λ-calculus is an academic example; Haskell is a real-world example.

I find Haskell a joy to use, and I cringe at having to use languages like Java and Go, which are a minefield of error-prone programming patterns (like using products instead of sums to represent "result or error"). Generally speaking, my Haskell code is shorter, less buggy, and more reusable than my Go code, so I'm not sure what you mean by "cumbersome".

You will not be able to modify the firmware blob just by running linux.

Few years back there was danger of FCC de facto banning alternative router firmwares like openwrt to prevent tampering with the wifi cards firmware.

This was the "only manufacturer signed firmware allowed" thing that thankfully was avoided.

FCC's motivation in this is to prevent people from using too much power or certain frequencies.

And as most manufacturers want to be able to sell in USA, it would have likely affected all versions.
