I would like to purchase a camera that takes great pictures of people. We are having a family reunion and I would like to take clear pictures of everything going on: from people eating, to dancing, to the inevitable family portrait. Important:   Image sharpness Clear color Fast response when shot is taken Good Low lighting pictures   What should I look for in a non-professional portable camera in order to get the family shots that I want that I will be proud to show my grand kids some day? Minimum specs  P.S.- if you would like to recommend a model that you are happy with I would love some suggestions, even more so If you can link me to examples that have been taken with that camera.
My friend is buying a digital point-and-shoot camera, which he wants to use to click family pictures including a lot of pictures of their newborn son.  What camera qualities should he be looking for while buying?
Show that $\lim\limits_{y\downarrow 0} y\mathbb{E}[\frac{1}{X};X>y]=0$. Let $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$ be a probability space, and let $X$ be a nonnegative random defined on this space. For any $A\in \mathcal{F}$, let $\mathbb{E}[X;A]:=\mathbb{E}[X\mathbb{1}_{A}]$, where $\mathbb{1}_{A}$ denotes the indicator random variable on $A$. Without assuming $\mathbb{E}\left[\frac{1}{X}\right]&lt;\infty$, show that  \begin{eqnarray} \lim\limits_{y\downarrow 0} ~~y~\mathbb{E}\left[\frac{1}{X};X&gt;y\right]=0. \end{eqnarray} Any initial ideas will be greatly appreciated. Are there any rules on when to use icons vs. icons with text vs. just text links in a web application?  For example:    vs.   save  vs.  save    Extra question: Is  save -or- save  preferable? How to determine a Python variable's type? How can I copy the contents of a folder to another folder in a different directory using terminal?

Create instance of generic type in Java? Is it possible to create an instance of a generic type in Java? I'm thinking based on what I've seen that the answer is no (due to type erasure), but I'd be interested if anyone can see something I'm missing:  class SomeContainer&lt;E&gt; {     E createContents()     {         return what???     } }   EDIT: It turns out that  could be used to resolve my issue, but it requires a lot of reflection-based code, as some of the answers below have indicated.  I'll leave this open for a little while to see if anyone comes up with anything dramatically different than Ian Robertson's . Unstable wifi with intel 8260 [8086:24f3] (rev 3a) on Ubuntu 16.04 running on Lenovo P50 Search and replace a line in a file in Python I want to loop over the contents of a text file and do a search and replace on some lines and write the result back to the file. I could first load the whole file in memory and then write it back, but that probably is not the best way to do it.  What is the best way to do this, within the following code?  f = open(file) for line in f:     if line.contains('foo'):         newline = line.replace('foo', 'bar')         # how to write this newline back to the file Test for existence of nested JavaScript object key Very thin white line in colortbl Whenever I use the colortbl package to format tables, a thin white space between the cells sometimes shows up on screen (not in print for as far as I can tell).

What wand was used by Mr Graves at the time of Fantastic Beasts? We know that the movie Fantastic Beasts is set in 1926. From the movie, we learn that at this time, Dumbledore is a teacher at Hogwarts and Grindelwald is lose after escaping a previous arrest. In the movie we learn that      Mr Graves is in fact Grindelwald in disguise. Grindelwald is shown to be at least in his forties, maybe fifties so he should already be the owner of the wand since he stole it from Gregorovitch as a teen.   We know that Dumbledore won the wand from Grindelwald after defeating him in their historic duel. That duel is always described as being “the end of the dark wizard Grindelwald” so I’m assuming that it didn’t happen prior to the movie and that he didn’t escape after that duel, please correct me if you have cannon evidence stating the contrary.      In the movie, we see Graves’ wand a few time and it isn’t the (very recognizable) one used in DH as the Elder Wand. This could of course be a prop error but since David Yates was also the director on DH and a lot of the visuals are similar I’m assuming it wasn’t. Graves could of course be using another wand in the fear that someone could recognize it but he would still be the rightful master of the Elder Wand. At the end of the movie, Newt is the one that disarms Graves/Grindelwald.   In all logic, he should have been made the new owner of the wand, whether Grindelwald was actually using it or not. That would have made it impossible for Dumbledore to win it from Grindelwald later.  So my question is: What wand is that character using at that specific time? Is he already the owner of the Elder Wand?      And if so, why wasn’t Newt made the new owner of the wand? Do I need a swap partition? I have 4GB of RAM and I want to install Ubuntu. Do I need a to have a swap partition? Because my computer has 4GB RAM, I do not think it is necessary to have a swap partition. If I do need to have a swap partition, should it be a 4GB or an 8GB partition? Is there a simple way to change the thickness of a curved tube without scaling its overall size? E.g. scaling the minor radius of an already created torus without affecting its major radius or change the bevel width of a curve that has already been converted to a mesh. How to share an encrypted storage on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux in a secure way I got a 2 TB drive that I have to use with both Windows 8.1 / Windows 10 and Yosemite to OS X / OS X El Capitan and maybe even on Linux.  I need to encrypt the volume. Or rather, I want to create two partitions: a 1.7 TB encrypted and unencrypted the remaining space.  Now I use Windows BitLocker to 512bit. On Mac and Linux nothing, obviously.  What do you recommend?  I saw TrueCrypt (and I read about all the confusion created after May 2014), of VeraCrypt, of GNUPG, Disklocker to read BitLocker on Unix.  But I feel lost and without a good idea.  And if I use TrueCrypt 7.1a waiting for new solutions such as precautions to prevent memory dumps and other potential crack?  And then how should I use TrueCrypt to format the drive? In GPT? MBR? Journaled? FAT? I have designed a VF page to create a new record in which I am trying to display the value of a pick-list field. I have set a default value for this pick-list field. When trying to create the record using the salesforce native page, the value with which pick-list loads is the one I set as default but when creating the same record using VF page, the pick-list loads with "--None--" as default value.  Can anyone suggest If this is salesforce related bug or Am I doing anything wrong ? As soon as I start SQL Server with no application querying, in the task manager it starts to consume memory very fast till it consumes around 15GB. How can I resolve this issue? How to delete specific lines from a txt file I have a Bash script that writes data into a log file, then from that I take out stuff I want using the sed command. That gives me a file data.txt. What I want to know is how I go about deleting specific line inside that data.txt file.  For example:  123 456 789   I want to remove the 2nd line, containing 456 so that I only have  123  789   I tried with sed '2d' data.txt but it doesn't work.  I use this command to create data.txt from log.log:  sed -nE '1s/.{1}(.{2}).*/\1/p;' log.log &gt;&gt; data.txt Indefinite integral of secant cubed I need to calculate the following indefinite integral:  $$I=\int \frac{1}{\cos^3(x)}dx$$  I know what the result is (from Mathematica):  $$I=\tanh^{-1}(\tan(x/2))+(1/2)\sec(x)\tan(x)$$  but I don't know how to integrate it myself. I have been trying some substitutions to no avail.   Equivalently, I need to know how to compute:  $$I=\int \sqrt{1+z^2}dz$$  which follows after making the change of variables $z=\tan x$. Assume $\{a_n\}$is a sequence which  satisfies the following recursion formula: $$a_{n+1}=a_n+\frac{2a_{n-1}}{n+1}~(n\geqslant 1).$$ and $a_0=\pi,a_1=\pi^2 $. How to compute $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{a_n}{n^2}$?
