Interesting analogy with pottery. I see that an important academic practice that does scale like vases is structuring your research in easily publishable way. As a beginner (typically a young highly motivated idealistic student — who else w

I presume it’s mostly on Android, on iOS apps seem to not be approved if they don’t run without clearly optional permissions. One of my bank apps absolutely refused to run without having scanned the full filesystem of an Android phone, yet

There’s also Conan which supposedly solves all problems, but we weren’t successful at migrating a large CMake project to it. Maybe if you use it from very beginning, it would work.

sum types can often eliminate the need for reflection, and can have lower runtime cost.

As a long-time ggplot and matplotlib user, I’d say skip them, start with Plotly. It allows to make quite rich interactive plots easily, and the result is either a self-contained html or code for embedding in webpage.

Does it still require filling an update form to change any aspect of a ticket? Maybe we've used an outdated version or it was poorly configured, but I remember switching to modern Jira at other company to be a huge UX improvement, with

I see a lot of TUI and rich-console applications that don’t require high performance are written in Rust lately, does it have especially good libraries for that, or is the ease of distribution the deciding factor to prefer it over scripting

To expand a little: chlorophyll absorbs red and blue, but reflects green and NIR (near infrared, just beyond visibility), so basically it measures how "green" the plants are, but using NIR instead of green as its a more robust mea

It also captures the appearance of obsidian shards very well, the old one is like a generic gemstone icon from a dated video game.

It's almost like with Python you have a spectrum of aesthetics and maintainability. The "most aesthetic" (concise and readable-as-plain-English) code involves a lot of magic (metaclasses, dynamic dispatch etc.), so it's

I've used a similar approach to save debug images in video stream processing system that basically scans vehicles going near the camera. Since the length and speed of vehicles is varying, memory is constrained, and keeping too many ima

This should have some simpler overview though. I actually have some background in morphology of insects and crustaceans, and skimming first screens for a couple of minutes gave me no idea what is it about. Looks like it's about the evo

Maybe not the fastest, but has a lot of features to build a whole website with notebooks (various kind), Markdown, custom HTML if needed.

I'd upvote this only as an example of multi-column layout, very cool and under-utilized in this age of wide displays.

A bit offtopic, but — a5100 is even cheaper, more compact (!) and has exact same imaging hardware, just with a slight artificial fps limitation. I've long ago upgraded to a6400 and still use the a5100 all the time when I don't pla

Marginal performance (i.e. 100 ms to 10 s per action, not multiple minute delays) is somewhat important to end users and matters only if they can switch easily. End users typically have little to no say in choosing the business software,

I agree that your definition is more useful. In the article they define 'middle class': > whose incomes fall in the middle 60% of American incomes, which is what Brookings defines as the middle class So we have a conflict of de

What kind of cameras and difficulties are you talking about? It’s almost always just a DCIM folder on the sd card. Videos, OTOH, are stored rather arcanely, at least on my Sony, with separate directory structure for each format.

Depends on the location. Driving directions are not available at all for Georgia and Armenia, for example, though as simple maps they work ok.

Unit testing is an obvious choice for something like a parser or algorithm library, for common business logic integration tests provide most of the benefit, and then some. Also, unit tests slow down development as they need to be refactored

I was more excited by the concept of Software 2.0 when it meant differentiable programming -- i.e. ordinary programs with logic etc, but everything is differentiable, optimizable and can gradually be replaced by opaque NN-based components.

Depends on the AC vacuum — my old Dyson V6 in turbo mode outsucks most AC-powered vacuums I've dealt with. Sometimes new tech is just better.

Probably because you haven't used it yet. Would like to hear from you after having some experience with it though.
