A reasonably dark church that has been set up for swing dancing is a prime example.
There is a night and day;) difference between trying to shoot static things in the dark vs things that still have significant motion blur on a tripod at 1/100
My camera is capable of over iso 100,000, but I would never use above 6400 generally and 3200 in situations where I want to underexpose a little. If I were going for a little overexposure I'd go 12,800 perhaps because the amount of light collected would still be half reasonable. High ISO with low EV's looks horrible.
They seem to pretty much all use 24-70 f/2.8 95% of the time with an 85 f/1.2 for soft portrait shots.
Even with the high iso capabilities of modern dslr's, I've still found situations (not at weddings) where the f/1.4 on my 50mm and 85mm lenses hasn't quite done the job to my liking.
You do realize, that a considerable chunk of those women know that definition of feminism, but reject it.
They'll often believe in egalitarianism, but feminism has too much focus on females in the word it to actually be considered what that dictionary definition has down.
To purposefully associate "feminine" with "fair" I think is pretty ironically sexist.
As part of believing in equality, shouldn't gender neutral terms to describe gender neutral things be a part of their goals?
And so to be for equality, you'd actually be against the use of the term feminism as it is sexist.
Peoples lack of attention to details like you've described seem to be a considerable problem.
I find commonly the responses from going into detail into the problems with articles like this are "YOU HATE WOMEN" and other things along those lines.
I've yet to find a way to get people actually interested in the details, rather than spewing forth knee-jerk hatred.
actually native directx on linux is quite feasible, especially with the way the graphics stack has been going in linux
All you need is the proper state tracker in gallium. Which has been around for a while, granted it's likely nowhere near bug free. But it is certainly native directx to the hardware rather than translation layers to a different api like wine is.
As you point out, Qt 4 broke source compatibility in a major way -- so obviously it is not the kind of showstopper you suggest it should be.
The transitional period was quite painful for a great number of projects. It was only done because it was a necessary evil at the time.
Compatibility is not something people should jump at the chance to break if it can be avoided unless there is sufficient benefit. It has been judged that there is insufficient benefit to doing so currently.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv-mFSoZOkE> Anything that is radioactive enough to be of a concern can be re-used as fuel.
This whole "but the nuclear waste!" propaganda is nothing but a farce. Let us reprocess the fuel, and we will get every joule of energy out of it we can, and the "waste" becomes rare and expensive elements we current dig up whole swathes of country to find.
as well as being more motivated to do more with her life then being a housewife.
Education without allowing people to question things is otherwise known as indoctrination. If a woman highly values being a housewife, I see no reason to not let her do so.
A lot of people seem to have this mentality of "if they knew what I did/ if they were more enlightened they would make the same choices as me" people are allowed to make different choices in life. There are trade-offs to every decision. What people truly value can be arbitrary.
For local communications 2 meters is hard to beat. Sure decent hf rigs/antennas can speak to the world. But sometimes you only want to speak to your neighbours (like a local radio club).
That means we are more likely to be expected to make career and life sacrifices in order to have a family.
Career sacrifices fair enough, but life sacrifices? To many people being a wage slave is not necessarily a good life, and it has been shown repeatedly that a lot of women prefer having a healthier work-life balance than men do.
Managers will expect women with children to take off more time for things like doctor's appointments and will (perhaps unwittingly) take that into consideration when doling out promotions etc.
A majority of women tend to put their children as a higher priority than work (there is more to life than work). If managers notice this tendency in an employee, how is it a problem putting the person more dedicated towards work first?
Raising kids is hard work, sacrifice, expensive and life-long. If you can't even hack the process of finding the person who wants to try to do it with you, what does that say?
A lot of guys are willing to take the time and effort. But the risks and lop-sidedness if the woman decides to leave at a whim can be too high. A growing number of men are becoming aware of the increasing risks involved in partnering with a woman, and after a certain point the risks are not worth the reward.
Quite a few men are willing to try regardless of the risks of course, but in the cases where it doesn't pan out they are often left destitute to the point of suicide. To some people that risk is worth the reward, to others, it's not worth their life.
and the default of 350hz timer, and pulse works just fine for that.
Funnily enough, jack works just fine too for consumer grade setups.. and you're willing to have 4milliseconds latency like most people use, no kernel recompilation is necessary, just permissions for realtime threads needs to be enabled.
Jack existed prior to, and has superior functions for (except for one use-case, high latency low power) everything that pulseaudio does.
When pulseaudio was in development I observed some conversation between poettering and a lead jack developer. It became quite clear that poetterring had little to no idea why some of the design decisions being made at the time were quite crazy. Admittedly some aspects were fixed over the years since pulseaudios adoption, but the immense pain they created from the beginning was unnecessary.
It really did come down to a combination of "not invented here" and "tablets are the future! fuck desktops" when pulseaudio was being made.
I don't see how. There isn't enough bandwidth over the Super NES cartridge bus to refill video memory every frame.
There is, but not quite at the full frame size. This is why starfox has borders, it actually does this.
Another cartridge that did this was the Super Gameboy. There is a literal entire gameboy chipset in there, and it is copying the video output to the snes in realtime (again, not the full screen though, there's a border)
but fixing these effects in the lens is pointless now. The computer can do it better.
You can't fix spatial frequency response with software.
Your picture quality is limited by the worst of the sensor and lens.
There is no use having a kick-ass sensor with shitty optics, and no use having great optics with a shitty sensor.
In regards to the small cameras like on the iphone 6, there are serious limitations in having a sensor so physically small. Having such a small sensor makes lens design for it a great deal easier, but you're paying the price in light collection ability and overall resolution as the system will be limited by diffraction effects far sooner.
Large sensor sites are beneficial in many circumstances, if you have the same amount of pixels in a full 35mm frame and a 1/2.3" system, the 35mm will come off looking far better with a lens to suit.
It is rare to find someone so enthusiastic about such content, which in turn makes me want to check out the lectures.
Don't have time until the weekend, and I've seen some of the lower quality links here to videos, but I hear they aren't anywhere near the quality of the 720p rips mit had.
Does anyone have a reliable link to the higher quality clips? Torrent or otherwise?

Note that PulseAudio and Jack serve different purposes. Use whichever one supports your needs at that moment. PA happily gets out of Jack's way when you need to do some real-time audio processing.
Jack serves all purposes except one really, low power consumption and massive/varying buffers.
Having multiple devices and multiples streams is an awesome feature that brings Linux a little bit more feature parity with Windows.
We've had that with jack long before pulseaudio was even a thought
There were serious design issues with pulseaudio when first released, I'd seen some of the discussions between poettering (pulse) and davis (jack) it was pretty clear that poettering was winging it without anywhere near as much of a clue about the various design considerations of it all.
Overall the project screamed of "not invented here", there were far better ways to go about the goals without dragging the community through that shitfest.
Now it is certainly a lot better than what it was, but that is not to say that there aren't better ways to go about it, or that the pain it made everyone endure was worth it.
You do realize that not all problems are the same.. right?
And that to different problems, the different properties of different choices can have varying suitability to that task.
tl;dr. systemd is not some omniscient "I will solve every problem" solution. There will be times where it is less suitable than a different option. People who recognize this don't want to have to throw the baby out with the bath water (from dependencies in other software that aren't really necessary) when choosing to use a more suited option to their task.
The anti-systemd integration people seem to still want to be able to choose the best tool for the task, not be forced along a certain path without necessity. Systemd may have plenty of good uses, but to assume it is the best tool for the task no matter the task is just folley.
I think this whole thing would be a non-issue if you could swap out systemd with another system and still have everything function easily.
The pro systemd people seem to never realize that other people may have differing requirements than they do, and dismiss anyone who does as making "a technically inferior choice". I find it very presumptuous to assume that you know every detail of someone elses criteria for a task you've never heard of.
Lithium batteries have short lifespans unless you're only using a fraction of their capacity, high environmental toxicity, and are extremely expensive.
In regards to lifespan to cycling, you are thinking of lead acid batteries, lithium batteries can be deep cycled all the time. When your phone gets to a few percent battery life, it is being deep cycled pretty heavily.
There does need to be some kind of undervoltage protection, because if drained under 3v batteries can be damaged, however by that point well over 99% of all the energy the battery has has been expended. I'd hardly call that "light cycling".
Modern quality lithiums can be deep cycled somewhere between 500-1000 times depending. A 2-3 year life full cycling once a day isn't too shabby at all.
In regards to the usage of the label social justice warrior
It is used as a short hand for people who have a particular culture, generally very well meaning, nice people, who fail to see how their solutions to perceived "problems" may themselves cause differing problems for people, and that other peoples heirarchy of priorities may not necessarily be in a similar order to their own.
Common but not necessary beliefs/traits of SJWS can include. Blaming the 'patriarchy' for all of the worlds ills. Belief in 'rape culture'. The redefining of words in such a way that the same behaviour turned in the other direction does not qualify "only white people can be racist because only they have systemic power" etc.
Individual social justice warriors may believe whatever they like, there are only trends and common themes, common themes and tactics that lead to a common label.
it's that the name you (collectively) chose sounds like it came out of a paranoid conspiracy.
The name fits the behaviour commonly seen. They are for what they perceive to be social justice. They go about it in a way that is potentially/often very hostile to others interests, and are quite devout in their beliefs. They fight for what they believe in, thus the "warriors".
bigotry ËbÉgÉ(TM)tri/ noun intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself
If you are intolerant of his differing views, you fit the bill if a bigot.
This is okay, there are plenty of views out there that people don't tolerate. I sure as hell wouldn't tolerate someone who believes it is perfectly alright to come up and punch me in the face unprovoked and acts on that belief.
The lesson to be learnt here, is that it is probably silly to be tolerant of absolutely everything and that calling someone a bigot in the process of being intolerant of someone else's differing views is a silly thing to do. The social justice crowd just needs to drop it, as a step of winding back the hypocrisy.
Even if you find a cause, or several causes for the imbalance that does not necessarily mean that they are problems.
Its changing the situation to favour the preferences of a group, depending on the situation being changed and what measures are to be taken some people may consider it worth it, but others may not.
I have no problem with this, it's always helpful to try to figure out how something came to be.
and tries to correct the problem.
This can be problematic. We can try to figure out what influences the male muscovy duck to hold the female down and force copulation for example, but why is it a "problem"? and why should it be "fixed"?
Since when is people choosing what they want a "problem" that deserves "fixing" with indue influence?
Science is a tool used to try to figure out how things are, it doesn't judge them as morally good or bad.
