There is a vibrant community of people experimenting with old vintage lenses. Mirrorless full frame camera's are relatively easy to make/get adapters for. See Mathieu Stern for inspiration. [1] [1]: https://www.youtube

My personal favorite, Statistical Mechanics and Computations.[1]. Excelled introduction to MCMC methods, lots and lots of python programs and filmed against a green screen. Obligatory, Stanford CS231n: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visu

"Calculus made Easy" comes to mind. Probably not the best suggestion here, but it is available on Gutenberg. [1] [1]: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/33283/33283-pdf.pdf

Strictly personal observation. I was a press photographer when I was a student as a side job, shooting film. I used to like early mobile phone photos because their (horrendous) defects and imperfections could be used to their advantage. Par

Every 6 months or so I do the vim<->sublime<->emacs dance. I really want to like emacs and really believe in its central tenants. Its not that it is hard, but I just can't get over the fact that it seems to not work very we

I've been pondering on building something like this for a while. For now, I've settled on sphinx because it can be easily exported to dash, and tied in to an alfred workflow for search.

Shakir is a fantastic technical writer. I love that he also traces modern ideas back to their older roots and includes the references.

Almost obligatory, but Stanford cs231n [1] lets you implement a complete (deep) neural network from scratch [2] before venturing into pytorch/tf. Its super fun. [1] http://cs231n.stanford.edu/ [2] http://cs2

For me the benefit is mostly tactile and muscle memory. I find the diaphragm ring / shutter dial easier and faster to turn, then to dial in exposure comp. Secondly if you shoot in a static environment, you set up your camera once, and

1.84 and the 3-3-3 787 is by far my least favourite long haul option.

I absolutely loved my 2011 Air which always was a great combination for me with a linux server for all the heavy lifting. This week I will somewhat begrudgingly swap out the Air for a 2015 15 inch MBP, hoping it will last me long.

You might enjoy "The light of other days" [1] then. It envisions the world where wormhole cameras can view any event in the past, thus eliminating all secrecy and privacy overnight. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

I get the sentiment, but I have faith. The RAND computer was probably also quite irrelevant for the household at its time.[1] [1]: https://bwithers.files.wordpress.com/2006/12/rand_home_compu...

If the bike lane must be next to a turn lane on an intersection, the dutch have a very simple hack [1]. All bike lanes get green, and get to sort themselves out, but crucially all car lanes get red. [1]: https://imgur.com/a&
