Yes, my 5100 (which is basically a more compact and software-limited 6000) also not included, but it seems to be a hardware limitation -- e.g. live view over USB is also ont supported on these cameras, and live view over wifi is rather crap

Nobody updates their old products nowadays. At least they haven’t abandoned the app support for those cameras and continue to expand the APS-C line.

Sony recently added support for webcam-over-usb to a lot of their cameras, apparently. And they are known for video quality and good lenses. So that’s $700-800 for a very good camera (new) that also works as webcam. https://suppo

One of the best smartphones of all time. Somehow I found its first firmware (2.7.x?) much more usable than the 3.x to which it auto-updated. Particularly seems to be caused by lawsuits that led to removal of slide-to-unlock—like function.

One of the limiting factors for modeling bokeh and flare-like effects is dynamic range limitation. You need extreme HDR capturing to accurately reproduce these effects, as they often play the largest part with bright, especially colored, li

Well, it's still a CFA (color filter array), but definitely not Bayer, which is a specific class of arrangements.

Sony made steps in this direction with ILCE-QX1, and with their current compact full-frame ILC progress they could decide to reboot that product line. Would be interesting to have a compact photo/video powerhouse out of that lens-style

It's exceedingly verbose, but decent, if you have a recent language version and/or Boost.

They probably use some RTK / dGPS setup for increased accuracy, which does need calibration.

This is a great insight. My company recently started working with agricultural analysts, and your example about moving averages is spot on. Initially, they also wanted the “magic” of NNs, and fortunately, after several prototypes, they unde

I'd suppose it doesn't need zero downtime outside of some well-defined business hours. Actually most of things don't and I think would even benefit from planned monthly 5hr outage instead of unplanned 10hr once per year.

I suppose the boring business model needs some secret sauce, i.e. advanced technology, to stay competitive -- since it's boring, many people are likely to do it, the margins are thin, you need to optimize.

I work in a lab which publishes in both CS and biology journals. Biologists require Word. Most our people hate it more than LaTeX, since in LaTeX it is at least difficult to break the template accidentally. Often the writing starts in GDocs

Flash is the Delphi of the web. It was trivial to code a complex native GUI app in Delphi 7 with VCL, and now it's effectively gone, not quite replaced by Qt with its overcomplicated C++ nature.

Lots of suggestions about math, ethics, SWE; I’d suggest some biology. Especially biology of sensory systems. Both for some understanding of the systems that already solve these AI problems really well, and for better understanding of human

For me the main benefit is linearization of the conversation: people understand the limitations of the medium and interrupt each other less frequently, so it’s much easier to both follow and join the conversation without monitoring the nonv

True. This didn’t seem to be the case 10 years ago. Maybe this is the result of commercialization of information: much finer optimization of follower count inevitably leads to oversimplification and overselling. And experts are increasingly

Modern phones get you 90% there. The bokeh quality apparently wasn't a priority until very recently. For indoor applications, a Huawei P20 Pro with artificial bokeh and good onboard image processing beats my APS-C-format Sony camera wi

I usually do the inverse: who knows what additional data we'll want to store for each row, let's put there a jsonb column, store anything not clearly critical there, and add columns or tables as these jsons get populated and used.

Good, this is the language tutorial. Is there something like a next part of this book, about using JS to do real things in 2020? AFAIU there's quite a lot of supplementary stuff like build systems (why are they even needed in JS?), app

AFAIK in HDR photography they often use linear uint16. I understand that it could be not enough for strong highlight modeling, but for general purpose compositing that should be ok. With an additional layer with like +8 bits of highlight re
