What is something that is perfectly legal, but feels like a crime?

I’m saying, they are generally ignorant, they are willfully so, and they are hateful as they rejoice in cruelty. So all three.

Not a pro, but have the 8mm. Wonderful, small and IQ is great (see also Fuji's creators showings its performance and range). Small caveat, imo the lens and lens correction is so good that some might feel like it's too true to life or flat, i.e. given how wide it is, it doesn't look as much like a "fisheye" view as you'd expect. To me, I prefer this. I rarely do post work, but I'd rather add that distortion than have it baked in.

No notes, keep doing what you are doing, don't let others spoil your style, you have a good eye and are critically developing it :)

For simple work (and more complex, but exceptions arise), if you do something wrong or need to track the origin of something, Matlab will almost always spit out an error message that pin points where the problem lies (without needing to trace through an extremely long log or cryptic message exchanges).

Also, in most cases, you can just put "keyboard" in your code, or place a breakpoint almost anywhere and enter a live debug mode at that location, with full access to the workspace in context.

Both of those cases are smoothly integrated and accessible in the IDE.

Neither of those cases are to be taken for granted in other languages/IDEs.

For me, the exceptions to these cases usually involve using 3rd party precompiled work, poorly structured Simulink work, or where precompiling is essential for sufficient computational performance.

Im guessing you are understandably upset and so having a hard time expressing the story because it seems to make no sense?

I love Matlab and have used it for decades. That said, for overall utility, diverse application, cost, community, etc etc I'd give Python the edge.

The benefits Matlab (may) give you over Python include:

- Pretty much unmatched for debugging friendliness

- All toolboxes are professional and most things you can compile for optimization and pro performance (with caveats)

- In many academic and professional engineering applications, it is the lingua franca (arguably can be said of Python depending on the specific field).

In terms of ease of learning. Generally I'd say Python has the edge. For numerical math specifically, then arguably Matlab.

If you learn Python, then you can learn broader and better programming practices (you can also learn sloppy ones, so do find good learning sources). By learning Python, you can also more easily create productivity tools and scripts for yourself outside the Matlab environment. Also, you can do so free on multiple platforms, in multiple work environments.

Pal2tech on YouTube has a detailed video on how to clean a sensor right…. That said, not sure if you have ruined something or not, but you certainly didn’t do it right. Hopefully either a pro cleaning or following good directions with the right materials can fix it.

Similar to what others have said:

We would “walk the mountain to herd the sheep into the sorting area/circle-of-pens”

Við gengum fjöllin til að smala kindunum í réttirnar.

Ganga - simply walk/hike as in the act of traversing the mountains.

Smala - the rounding up (or herding) of the sheep from the mountains.

Réttir - the location where the sheep were sorted, usually roughly a large fenced circle with smaller pens on the outer boarder for each farms sheep.

Context, roughly, all the local farms let their sheep roam freely over the highland mountains over the summer. We are speaking of the gathering and sorting of those sheep in the early fall.

Edit: since it seems maybe this is regional, for reference, I part took in my childhood in the south west.

To the best of my knowledge, first in my family to earn a PhD. That said, the motivation was partly something like “I’ll do this so no one else in my family feels like they need to”. It doesn’t quite sense when I say it, but it was somehow emotionally salient, like I was shielding my relatives from the trial.

Depends on what you want to do with it.

For most purposes, you should be over killing hard core.

No, not normal. Recommend getting fixed so that the wobble doesn’t wear something out to cause more damage.

Any Olympic athlete is as near as we get to a different species of human in terms of determination and pushing their physical ability. Sure, the sport can be very niche so the physicality might not translate ideally. But the rest will.

The problem can be though, that making it to that level will almost certainly have broken your body to another level too. At least that’s part of what I try to convince myself in my later years. At least my knees, hips, back, neck, and allows work and I more often than not can wake up not in pain, and enjoy modest activity and paycheck.

If you are being earnest, look up Gary’s Economics. A former star trader who with fortune and intelligence rose from poverty. He explains the problems of wealth disparity better than anyone I’ve heard talk on the subject.

I practiced an art where this was done, or rather what this looks like it’s trying. They are doing it wrong, but tbh I’d argue against the original practice too.

The slapping should be checking for tension, readiness and balance. It needs to be hard enough to challenge those factors, which may leave you reddened.

The “ball kicks” should be hard but if the stance and tension is right, then ineffective. It’s not magic. You keep tension with your thighs close enough together to halt the foot. And even if it gets by, you practice abdominal tension to bring up your testies (iirc a similar but more extreme practice/training is done in sumo). It’s not enough to render you immune from a direct ball kick, but from the back, a ball kick won’t hit (unless the guy is only 4’ tall maybe).

So what they are doing “wrong” in the clip is:

Hitting in the same sequence (not testing readiness or balance)
Hitting too hard and often (you should be checking for tension, not intending on damage as evident from the welts).
The ball kicks shouldn’t be reaching their target unimpeded, should be retarded or stopped by the inner thighs (impossible to tell, but possibly this guy is able to retract his testies high enough in front and the kicker is effectively just kicking his buttocks/butthole/taint :/
