What are some lighting tips you wish you had known from the beginning?

As I get more and more into this, I'm looking back and kicking myself for not understanding some basics:

  • It's better to have extra light and drop it in post, than to not have enough light and try to bring it up
  • You can use a light behind you to create that "pop" in the eyes
  • Lights from below only often give an unpleasant/dark/menacing look
  • Reflectors can really help the harshness of white strobe lights

These probably fall below even "basic lighting" knowledge - but I'm looking for more little nuggets of wisdom that might save a few of my future concepts.

Major differences between Docker, Snapcraft, Flatpak, and AppImage?

Personally I'm very excited about some of the upcoming 'packaging' and 'sandboxing' features in the Linux world. I've always felt that one of the biggest issues with Linux from a user's standpoint is dependency hell. Current package managers don't often do a great job of dealing with multiple different versions of the same program, and in the worst case a dependency conflict can break something else (possibly important) on your system. The small memory and storage benefits of using tons of shared libraries between programs simply doesn't seem to be worth the added problems of dependency hell, and any arguable security benefit of shared libraries (patch one dependency to the benefit of multiple programs) seems to be matched by the security benefits of sandboxing packages (for example, using program namespaces and cgroups like Docker seems to do).

Anyway, even though I feel like I have some understanding of the core goal behind some of these new package management ideas, I'm having a hard time researching and understanding the differences between these different systems. So from a technical or ideological standpoint, what exactly are the differences between systems like Docker, Snapcraft, Flatpak, and AppImage?

First Linux Mint, then Linkedin and now TeamViewer. Seems like we are on a hacking spree right now!

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but if you were to guess how many more websites are going to be hacked by the end of 2016, then what will your answer be? I bet it will be greater than zero.

Time for introspection: The mega-thread on /r/teamviewer says that even linux users were hacked and the worse thing is that TV doesn't leave a log on linux installations after an uninstall, so its difficult to find out what happened now.

The larger matter, however, is that of security. The biggest question presently looming over my mind is how the heck one gets hacked if 2FA is enabled? I'm yet to find answer to that question.

Hi /r/photography, thought you guys might be interested in this: I tracked over 10,000 likes and followers I received on Instagram last month, and here are the results! (x-post from /r/dataisbeautiful)

Last month, I decided to take a look at how activities on Instagram take place. So, I tracked every single like I received and every single new follower I gained. I recorded all of them on a per-minute granularity.

Today, I tallied everything up and graphed the results in Excel. Here's the formatted version!
