14 Ways to Quickly Improve Your Photography fro, Digital Photography School [Shared]

Feeling like your photography skills have plateaued? It happens to the best of us. One minute, you’re cruising along, picking up new techniques and elevating your sense of composition and light like a boss – and the next, you’ve hit a creative wall.

But don’t worry! While there’s no single magic bullet for improving your photography, I do have plenty of techniques and exercises that are designed to help you level up your skills, and that’s what I share in this article.

Note that different techniques will work better for different shooters, so if you don’t like a method, just skip it and move on. With any luck, you’ll find an approach that works for you, and you’ll be able to develop that creative eye once again.

The image features a person holding a Canon camera, positioned outdoors with a blurred background of greenery. The individual is wearing a bright orange sweater with the word "WING" partially visible. The camera strap is visible around the person's neck. The image has a blue and orange graphic overlay with the text "HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY (FAST!)" in white, bold letters. The logo "ds" is present in the bottom left corner of the overlay. The overall composition suggests a focus on photography tips or a tutorial. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

SpringerLinkCross-validation for training and testing co-occurrence network inference algorithms - BMC BioinformaticsBackground Microorganisms are found in almost every environment, including soil, water, air and inside other organisms, such as animals and plants. While some microorganisms cause diseases, most of them help in biological processes such as decomposition, fermentation and nutrient cycling. Much research has been conducted on the study of microbial communities in various environments and how their interactions and relationships can provide insight into various diseases. Co-occurrence network inference algorithms help us understand the complex associations of micro-organisms, especially bacteria. Existing network inference algorithms employ techniques such as correlation, regularized linear regression, and conditional dependence, which have different hyper-parameters that determine the sparsity of the network. These complex microbial communities form intricate ecological networks that are fundamental to ecosystem functioning and host health. Understanding these networks is crucial for developing targeted interventions in both environmental and clinical settings. The emergence of high-throughput sequencing technologies has generated unprecedented amounts of microbiome data, necessitating robust computational methods for network inference and validation. Results Previous methods for evaluating the quality of the inferred network include using external data, and network consistency across sub-samples, both of which have several drawbacks that limit their applicability in real microbiome composition data sets. We propose a novel cross-validation method to evaluate co-occurrence network inference algorithms, and new methods for applying existing algorithms to predict on test data. Our method demonstrates superior performance in handling compositional data and addressing the challenges of high dimensionality and sparsity inherent in real microbiome datasets. The proposed framework also provides robust estimates of network stability. Conclusions Our empirical study shows that the proposed cross-validation method is useful for hyper-parameter selection (training) and comparing the quality of inferred networks between different algorithms (testing). This advancement represents a significant step forward in microbiome network analysis, providing researchers with a reliable tool for understanding complex microbial interactions. The method’s applicability extends beyond microbiome studies to other fields where network inference from high-dimensional compositional data is crucial, such as gene regulatory networks and ecological food webs. Our framework establishes a new standard for validation in network inference, potentially accelerating discoveries in microbial ecology and human health.

Here's a #Ruby #design #question that regularly pops up in various contexts such as this: The Mailjet gem is a REST API adapter, 99% generated code. It exposes things as #class #methods like `Mailjet::Contact.create`. For a simpler, more consistent interface, I'm wrapping these in my own #PORO service class, all class methods as well, but I don't like this orgy of `class << self`. How to better design this? Here's a gist with the method bodies removed for readability: gist.github.com/svoop/25accb41

Oh my goodness, how did I miss that in ES7 you can use a closure as a method. Goodbye `bind()`, you will not be missed :)

e.g.,

```js
class A {
b = () => console.log(this)
}

const a = new A()
a.b() // A { b: [Function: b] }

const c = a.b
c() // A { b: [Function:b] }
```

Nice! :)

**Edit**: Be careful with this. See this note by @marsup: mastodon.social/@marsup/113799

MastodonMarsup (@marsup@mastodon.social)@aral@mastodon.ar.al Respectfully, this looks like an anti-pattern. `b` won't be part of the prototype, potentially preventing some meta programming, and you're going to get a new `b` for each instance of that class, consuming that much more memory for each instance you hold.

I recommend reading #JacquesEllul "Le fascisme, fils du libéralisme" ("Fascism, son of Liberalism, 1937).

Ellul was an eye-witness of fascism in Italy, Germany and Spain. He argued that fascism is a method, not an ideology, a technology of the social. By using industrial organization methods it turns a society into a totalitarian enterprise.

An OCRed version of the articler is available on JSTOR (a free account is sufficient)..

Solarbird :flag_cascadia:

okay yeah this is definitely good

METHODS POST I mean it's trivial but

* put your yeast and sugar into the warm water like always

* let it activate the usual 10 minutes (or however)

* add rounded 1/4 cup onion flakes, stir in well

* let them rehydrate in the mix for 3 minutes

* mix into drys and proceed as usual

trust me on this one if you like onions it's dang good
