Interestingly in the astrophotography hobby space, purpose built, cooled, OSC cameras without aa filters exist around the same price points as DSLRs intended for terrestrial use. To buy one though you really have to be into it (or have a lot of spare cash), as you can only really use it for astro work.
If someone is just getting into the hobby they're probably using a relatively low focal length scope or lens with a DSLR they have laying around. What that means is a wide field shot with lots of tiny stars. Many of those stars might only fit within a single pixel unless they were very bright.
In that specific scenario an aa filter has the advantage of providing more natural star colors, as the light that otherwise might only have hit a red or blue pixel in the bayer matrix is instead spread out into the other colors.
It's less of a beginner thing to do, but if your shots are extremely under-sampled like that, dithering your subframes and using drizzle integration in post helps a lot with blocky (OSC + Mono) and off-color (OSC only) stars. That is, assuming you're trying to stack exposures instead of it being a once off shot.
Pretty much, ripping through my city now. There isn't a lot of sentiment for liberty/freedoms here, so the authoritarians had a field day. We'll probably do it all again next time too.
I can speak from experience on some of those lovely symptoms.
When I was doing my first 9 months of <20g of carbs and a 30-40% caloric deficit, I eventually dipped down low enough that I could cover it in a single meal. So I figured I'd give intermittent fasting a go.
Almost immediately I noticed a difference. What was once solid was no more... Almost like the first week or so of the diet where my gut was getting used to the new order of things.
After a bit of trial and error I figured out that it was the large amount of fat in a single sitting that was causing my distress. I'm guessing here, but perhaps it isn't possible to absorb it all before it makes it out the other end? In any case, I went back to 2 meals a day and all was well again.
The historical consensus seems to be that Cicero, while probably amenable to the plot, was a witness only, and not involved with the conspirators until after the deed was done.
It’s just the socially accepted pseudo standard. Shorthand to avoid complexity.
Where I’m at 10am to 4pm are the core hours and the rest is flexible. Overtime can be recouped in half days or full days off if you’ve organised appropriately with the team.
My suspicion is that it’s simply easier to make disgruntled noises generally about 9-5 than actually negotiating seriously at the smaller end of the scale on behalf of you or your team.
Imagine its made of putty instead of fiber. See if you can squish and stretch its surface in your mind into a sphere or flat shape without tearing it. You'll see the sock is homeomorphic with those shapes and there are 0 holes.
> What makes central authorities and mainstream popular media inherently more suspicious?
I'll take a stab.
Central authorities tend to be and to become political in nature. Their incentives include, among other things, maintaining their funding and not looking bad (eg: maintaining a purpose for existing, excusing their own misbehavior, making any political benefactors happy). What they say will probably align with those institutional incentives first, before truth. It can also stop them from saying things they ought to.
Mainstream popular media does not exist to be an objective arbiter of truth but instead because enough people want to consume it. It's a business, albeit a business that has an incredible amount of power over not only the public's opinion, but what they should care about, both through what they report and what they don't report. They will push as many emotional buttons as they can to keep you coming back. Because they have a lot of power over the public they are targets for actors wishing to advance their own goals.
Individual journalists are not a-political and you shouldn't expect them to be. Assume all reporting is tribal (especially if you agree with it), and that not only is the story as presented probably biased towards their own view of the world but that they've probably also left inconvenient things out.
Political creatures tend to associate with those they agree with, and are in turn controlled by the group.
Potential ostracism from their in-group is another source of bias.
I know that there are more possibilities now, but back when I was having my first interactions with gradle it was made infinitely harder by groovy and the auto-completion in intellij never working for me.
After years of working with gradle configs, to this day I still don't know groovy or gradle as intimately as I know other things I've spent as much time with. I wish I did, but I just don't.
I can explain to you what our configs do, but if you asked me to make it do something else it'd be straight to google for examples to mangle, a metric tonne of trial and error, and lookups for simple groovy syntax that I keep forgetting in-between the actual work I want to do.
The fact these sorts of things, including all the other violence and destruction going on at the time, were either ignored wholesale or played down by mainstream news sources, while also being actively encouraged in the next breath ought to be a source of shame for them. The country spent the last year being gas-lit.
Its no surprise at all why many people on the right distrust them.
> 9. Steeping minutes: Green at 3, black at 4, herbal at 5. Good tea is that simple!
That just sounds incredibly bitter. I highly recommend using more tea to less water, and much, much, much lower steep times. Especially for greens as they're more delicate.
If your tea is bitter or astringent, its a combination of water that might be too hot, and long steep times.
80-90C for most green teas. The hotter you go the lower your steep times should be.
90C+ for blacks.
At the extreme you could try gong fu brewing if you're really into your tea :) steep times as short as ~10 seconds are not uncommon.
Whatever you want to say about the guy he's definitely not boring to listen to, and I enjoy listening to him and his antics whenever he's on with Joe. He's entertaining, and has a good sense of humor.
If someone was to deprive me of the opportunity to listen to him, I'd be ticked off, and I don't agree with the guy (at least when I can understand what he's saying hahaha).
I can only imagine how people that do agree with his more unconventional views view those doing the deplatforming, but they're definitely not helping them by doing it. You're just insulating them from opposing views and making them angry at you.
It feels to me like its vindictive, coming from a place of genuine hate. Thats not good no matter what the stated intentions are.
But only adequate for a very narrow use-case so far, _not_ as a daily driver.
Here in South Australia where I live the Hornsdale installation (the Tesla one) is capable of storing 150MW. Its purpose is not to drive the entire grid every day, but to help deal with minor fluctuations in supply and demand, and mitigate brown/blackouts during emergencies. In-between those times it stores electricity while prices are cheap, and sells when the prices are high to turn a profit
The overwhelming source of electricity across Australia is supplied by fossil fuels (despite our abundance of clean nuclear fuel).
The entire reason the installation was built in the first place was because of a series of brownouts and blackouts caused by interruptions in the supply of electricity from interstate one day (we don't generate enough by ourselves sadly). It caused a fairly large political situation to develop, and resulted in the construction of the Hornsdale installation.
Contractually Hornsdale is obliged to be able to supply 70MW for 10 minutes, or 30MW for 3 hours on demand during emergencies. For some perspective, the current load on the grid as at the time I started writing this is 2150MW(6pm local time).
Australian battery installations are simply not operating at the scale you want them to be here. Hornsdale has a niche it is filling quite admirably, but be careful when you use it as an example of grid-scale viability. It's simply not.
> Mueller went out of his way to say that his investigation did not exonerate Trump
I think it was inappropriate for him to stress this, and that it undermined his legitimacy and the legitimacy of the investigation. It isn't the job of an investigator to "exonerate" people that havn't been charged or prosecuted for a crime.
As far as I can tell all these comments did was validate his supporters beliefs that the investigation was a politically motivated attack, and simultaneously served as a psychological "out" for his detractors that were convinced he was in cahoots with Putin to undermine the country. Widening the divide between 2 sets of people that really ought to reconcile.

For that you could use something like ajv.
Json schema has the advantage of being usable across different languages, but it does come with the overhead of maintaining those files and keeping it in sync with your other repos.
Cold analysis and reason are rarely motivational or persuasive on their own. None of us like to admit it but our lives are emotionally driven pretty much all of the time, even when we're trying to be reasonable. To lead, persuade, and negotiate effectively with other human beings you need to be able to press emotional buttons.
While someone who is rude all the time, or unnecessarily, is probably not someone you want to work with. Well timed rudeness does have its place in a constructive conversation. Just like analogy does, or hyperbole, or reason - each have their place. To snap people back on track, to be understood, to escape being bogged down in irrelevant detail, convincing others of behavior or actions that are truly unacceptable to you, etc.
If someone is just getting into the hobby they're probably using a relatively low focal length scope or lens with a DSLR they have laying around. What that means is a wide field shot with lots of tiny stars. Many of those stars might only fit within a single pixel unless they were very bright.
