I started with gigabit Fios when they first deployed in my area then ended up dropping to 300. As a single user, even if I'm saturating the link, I think I'm too used to being patient to accept waiting an extra few minutes or queueing up an overnight download for something massive.
Every online service I've used has been flawless, from streaming media to cloud gaming, and I'm in a fully wireless house with a single Ruckus AP covering it all.
I've seen over a thousand+ devices being covered by a 2Gbps pipe on a large network and not even saturate the link even during peak - and they were throttled to 150mbps per device.
Why would this be a good idea to break away from the norm of what has been done before? The mechanism of updating the lens through the camera exists. Why reinvent the wheel? It only increases the BOM for the lens to include the USB and the electronics involved.
I suppose it depends on the system? I have updated Sigma, TAMRON, and XiaoYi lenses on my Panasonic and Olympus MFT bodies, as well as Panasonic and Olympus with each other: https://support.jp.omsystem.com/en/support/imsg/digicamera/d... (Sadly not an exhaustive list. I have firmware for several more lenses stashed away in my archive, but the upgrade mechanism is the same.)
You can update sigma lenses through Sony camera bodies but it requires running a program on your desktop with the camera plugged in and it’s a bit of a pain. Especially on macOS where it requires enabling kernel extensions.
Would have been nice if Sony just let you drop a file on the sd card to load an update.
Only for their old "Art" lenses, the modern "Contemporary" lenses can leverage the camera body update mechanism and only need a file on the SD card containing the firmware update.
"Contemporary" lenses aren’t more modern that "Art". The monikers were introduced at the same time, along with "Sports". Rather, "Art" is Sigma’s high-end line, similar to Canon’s "L". "Contemporary" on the other hand is a somewhat euphemistic term for "consumer" or "affordable".
JIS screwdrivers are 100% necessary. It may seem PH fit at first, but it's _a tiny bit off_ enough to cause damage. The point of JIS is shorter and squared.
The letters are 8x15 and verticals are 2 pixels wide to work better on older CRT televisions with less-sophisticated chroma filtering on their composite inputs.
I explicitly tried to avoid locking into 45 degree diagonals...
My only question now is, how do I turn this font into something I can use on a computer? I couldn't figure it out the last time I tried.
I made PixelForge [0] a while ago just for creating pixel fonts and being able to export to TTF. I had it semi-abandoned for a few years, but I'm about to release a new version in the next few days! [1]
I did it with no reference to other fonts, just to my own tastes. It took a bit of iteration to get letter centering on the lower cases to work well but I think it's in a good place.
Simplex is not applicable. Simplex only minimises a linear function (f(x)=c'x) under linear inequality constraints (Ax≤b). The minimisation problem here is unconstrained, but (very) non-linear.
It's generally inconsistent. The first sentence is written, "A co-op is an economic system built on the simple idea that coordinating the economic activity..."
Co-op is correct here, but not in the title (Coop). Probably personal taste, but I'd also like to see hyphentation for "co-ordinating", "co-operate" and "co-ordinator" as well.
Then I noticed the em-dashes, so perhaps I'm reading the machine's work anyway.
Collapsing trunks have been a thing since the 90s.
There's no regulatory requirement for crumple zones. There's regulatory requirements for performance. The cheapest/easiest way to meet these is crumple zones.
Your luggage and golf clubs aren't gonna do squat in a collision. The regulators don't care that about the one in a million chance that someone gets into an accident a) where crumple zones matter b) while hauling objects so solid they don't just round to "no effect" because they have bigger fish to fry and if you create a "standard loading" for the test the OEMs will simply design to that and basically create a bunch of work and expense for marginal benefit.
What has changed is that the US's failure in Iran has directly impacted many of its former allies all at once, and the current administration clearly shows that it doesn't care about them at all.
This lack of consideration will lead to significantly less favorable trading for all of the businesses you listed, regardless of their current prowess.
Replace Iran with Iraq and this was all true 25 years ago. And that was an actual failure.
Fundamentally nothing has changed about the world or the relationship between the US and its allies. Once Trump is replaced by someone closer to European social values and less of an asshole the temperature will change. Just like it did from Bush to Obama.
Can you really look yourself in the mirror and say with a straight face that fundamentally nothing has changed about the relationship between the US and its allies? Do you really think Europeans will be quick to forgive the wrongs of this administration? They’ve lost faith in our political system and will, rightfully so, do everything in their power to disentangle with us. The problem with your theory is that they know even if Trump is replaced by someone closer to European social values, our electorate could just as easily completely reverse course in 4 years. It literally already happened. Bush never threatened to annex European territory with military force as far as I can tell. But I understand why in these chaotic times you’d want to gravitate towards hopeful fictions.
Yes. Nothing fundamentally has changed about the US/Europe relationship for 80 years. Trump being a royal prick doesn't mean his message is fundamentally different than what any other president would send. If the US elects Kamala, for example, things quiet down and go back to normal almost immediately.
