They had this feature (sort of). I don't remember if you could recommend movies to others, but you could have friends and see each other's viewing history.

You could run it all inside a virtual machine.

I remember buying Comanche again years after it was released. But it was unplayable. The fuel depletion rate was somehow proportional to CPU speed, so on my (relatively) faster computer, the helicopter would run out of gas just a couple mi

I've been seeing this a lot online in the past few years and it has been driving me crazy. Has the a/an rule of writing been updated? I'm talking about examples like the one above, not stuff like "an historic."

If you're into portraits, the Olympus 75mm/1.8 is one of the best M4/3 lenses available.

Yes, people would buy them, but they do require very disciplined shooting. That kind of resolution is very unforgiving of even slight movement or mis-focus.

This article mentions a way to manually do it without the need for stabilizing hardware: https://petapixel.com/2015/02/21/a-practical-guide-to-creati...

Right, which is why I think Olympus has had success with it. They primarily (maybe only?) make micro 4/3 bodies, so the resolution is still relatively low (some of their bodies are at 16MP, others 20). I don't photograph food, but

He wrote that before he wrote the article I linked to. Also, this article mentions some deficiencies of stabilization in certain circumstances but nowhere does it claim that it's useless.

The site has a page explaining how to get around it.

What would be useful on their site would be a comparison showing the same image shot with an unmodified sensor and then again with their filter-less sensor. If no one can tell the difference, is it worth it?

Another option is to use a body that offers stabilization. Olympus has gotten their stabilization good enough that you can shoot handheld at pretty slow shutter speeds: https://blog.mingthein.com/2016/11/02/re

Sensor shifting is implemented in several camera bodies these days. Olympus has been doing it for a few years.

Great recommendation! His book The Armchair Universe is pretty much what made me want to be a programmer. I enjoy books that keep the fun in programming.

The people who really know what they are doing make the complicated stuff seem dirt simple. I had Dave as the instructor for my undergrad compilers and operating systems courses back in 2000-2001. His lectures then were every bit as enlight

I assume that was a custom VM. As far as I know, there is no way to disable GC in the official Oracle JVM.

You might want to play around with Darktable ( http://www.darktable.org ). I have no affiliation other than using it a bit. I use an Olympus EM-5 and it handles the raw files just fine.

That might work if Netflix had compelling content. Maybe they do, I don't know. But it is not helping Netflix that Comcast is ranked near the top for ISP market share and also owns a ton of its own content (NBC Universal).

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why is it so bad to let people provide for themselves? Kansans should be prevented from running their own ISP? Why? Doesn't that idea seem contrary to self-governance? It's really depressing th

The contents of the linked page were the first lecture I had in my undergraduate calculus course. At the end of the lecture, we all looked around at each other wondering what we had just signed up for.

Most of those are reasons to be connected to a home network, not "The Internet."

I don't know why everyone keeps bringing this up. The whole point of the license applies to distribution. Even if it said you should distribute privately used modifications, that is unenforceable and stupid.

Maybe I'm on the fringe, but the yahoo mail experience for me through a browser has been terrible since their last big iteration. It is often unresponsive to the point of being unusable.
