I have a Nikon d5200 with 18-140 lens and I don't want to invest more on lenses, so I was planning to sell D5200 and buy P900. Please suggest. Will I get decent photos from P900?  I am not a professional photographer.
This is my first question in /photography. I'm a very amateur photographer, doing things wrong and by eye with lots of trial-and-error all the time.  I currently own a reflex Nikon D70 my uncle gave us after he bought a better one. It has some nice settings, and he bought a a Nikkor 28-80mm F/3.5-5.6 zoom lens for it. It behaves nicely, but it's getting old (it has those old cartridges before SD cards existed) and every new charge takes longer than the last.  I'm planning to upgrade to a better camera, and there are some neat offers on a nearby superstore (MediaMarkt), this one catching my eye:  Sony DSC-H400 63x, Sensor Super HAD 1/2/3 CCD 20.1MP -> for less than 300€ taxes included  I don't have any type of extra information aside from that, all I can get from the official site is clinical data from other cameras that I suspect it's not 100% accurate, and there's no photography expert on the store to ask.  The common things I use my D70 for are: taking pictures of scenery (castles, towns, forests, waves hitting rocks, etc...), nearby (&lt;5m) persons and objects, and well, things where I want to save a memory in digital format, not for professional purposes at all.  Being that my objective is to have a decent, good-zooming (superzoom looks awesome), amateur (but with manual settings) camera, is this Sony a good replacement? Will I miss any features? Is there any better, similarly-priced alternative you know of?  Basically, I want to know whether I will get better quality photos than I currently do, given the examples, with any averagely-priced bridge camera similar to that Sony, and if it's worth it.  examples of current camera results  Full zoom-out of town at night, bad quality I know; notice the pink blur at the left.

Show that a norm on an inner product space satisfies parallelogram law. Hence use the parallelogram law to show that the space of continuous real functions defined on the interval $[a,b]$ is not a Hilbert space. Here I did the first part. Let $X$ be an inner product space and $x,y\in X$ consider $\Vert x+y\Vert ^2$ and $\Vert x-y\Vert ^2$ Then on adding I get $\Vert x+y\Vert ^2+\Vert x-y\Vert ^2=2(\Vert x\Vert ^2 +\Vert y\Vert ^2)$ For the second part I don’t know how can a parallelogram law prove $C[a,b]$ is not a Hilbert space, help me please. I'd like to write an N-body simulation in which I collide two disk galaxies. To give you an idea of the accuracy I'm trying to achieve, I'm aiming to make this my screensaver at 30fps on my work desktop. Think Euler's method, large epsilons in denominators to prevent blow up, all that lazy stuff.   One place I don't want to be lazy, however, is in the initial construction of the galaxies I'm trying to collide. I want to design a galaxy that will at least sort of hold together by its own gravity until it smash it into another one.   How might I go about selecting the orbital velocities for each of the bodies composing the galaxy? I am wondering if there is an easy way to inset mesh that is generated from text/curves? When I convert text to mesh it generates a bunch of uneven triangles that don't inset properly. My only solution is slow and tedious and requires manually removing all but the outline edges and refilling with quads. More specifically I am trying to create an engraving of text into a mesh, and rather than a straight bool cut I need the engraved text to inset a bit. The result needs to mesh (not through a shader). Any ideas appreciated. Why did Obi-Wan allow Leia to get adopted by such a high profile figure?

There's something wrong with the vertical alignment on the :   (click to enlarge)  On the , which uses a similar list but without the Favorite column, the vertical alignment is correct.  (Tested in the latest Firefox, Safari and Chrome on macOS Catalina.) I know that I can use something like cat test.txt | pr -w 80 to wrap lines to 80 characters  wide, but that puts a lot of space on the top and bottom of the printed lines and it does not work right on some systems  What's the best way to force a text file with long lines to be wrapped at a certain width?   Bonus points if you can keep it from breaking words. Representative point of a cluster with L1 distance The representative point of a cluster or cluster center for the k-means algorithm is the component-wise mean of the points in its cluster. The mean is chosen because it helps to minimize the within cluster variances (which is to say that it is minimizing within cluster squared Euclidean distance, since its the same). Now, when I want to use a different distance metric, like L1 (Manhattan distance), I would be minimizing the within cluster absolute deviations (if I choose to). I was looking at what the centers calculation would be like, because the mean won't reduce the new objective function, and I found this on the Matlab documentation of their kmeans function for the distance parameter     cityblock - Sum of absolute differences, i.e., the L1 distance. Each centroid is the component-wise median of the points in that cluster.   Now, how did they come up with the component-wise median? How does a median minimize absolute deviations? I have an application that reads a CSV file with piles of data rows.  I give the user a summary of the number of rows based on types of data, but I want to make sure that I don't read in too many rows of data and cause OutOfMemoryErrors.  Each row translates into an object.  Is there an easy way to find out the size of that object programmatically?  Is there a reference that defines how large primitive types and object references are for a VM?  Right now, I have code that says read up to 32,000 rows, but I'd also like to have code that says read as many rows as possible until I've used 32MB of memory.  Maybe that is a different question, but I'd still like to know. Can I use my laptop as a second monitor? Is it possible to make my laptop's screen act as a second monitor for my desktop computer?

I can't seem to find any consensus on the right way to typeset a differential operator, whether it is:   in a standalone context:  as part of a derivative:  as part of an integral:    In all of these cases, I have seen them sometimes italicized like variables (as in the second and third examples above) and sometimes not italicized like operator names (as in the first example above). There is also additional variation in how much spacing goes between the "d" and whatever it is acting on.  Seeing as this is an incredibly common symbol in many branches of mathematics, I am curious about the lack of standardization -- I've seen all possible combinations used in all possible contexts by many respected authors and publishers.  Are there any rules of thumb that I can follow? I personally tend to prefer the non-italicized version with very little space next to it, so I add:  \renewcommand{\d}[1]{\ensuremath{\operatorname{d}\!{#1}}}   to my default preamble, and use that everywhere, but I'd like to know if I'm breaking any hard-and-fast rules here. plist or sqlite Illustrator CS5 brick pattern with perspective I created a curving arrow shape that starts wide at the bottom and thins out near the top where the point is. I also created a brick pattern swatch but when I apply it to the shape it appears like the pattern is overlaid instead of like a real road where the bricks follow the shape and narrows near the most distant point. How can I apply a perspective to the brick pattern without looking like I used a clipping mask?  Here is a link to what I achieved with a clipping mask - not what I want though. I need the bricks to look like they are inlaid just like in real life. I have a local user on my laptop. My company is migrating to a domain setup and I want to migrate the local user to a domain user, with all the settings (desktop, Start menu, programs) intact. How can I do that?  Also, is it possible to have a local user with the same settings as the domain, for when I'm working on my laptop while not connected to the domain?
