Indeed. That's how I shoot insects: live and in the field with a macro lens. It's quite a challenge, especially for the smaller insects (2-3 mm in length).
It is a bit easier if you photograph them in the morning, when they are still cold and sluggish. You can get a similar effect by putting them in a container in the fridge for a few minutes. But don't leave them in too long! And warn your partner...
I'm more into shooting insects in the wild, when they are active and doing their thing, so I can also catch their behaviour. I contribute to iNaturalist, and a few of my observations have ended up as documentation in some scientific papers by local scientists.
One 'silly' question from this novice linux kernel driver developer: if the ->read() and ->write() operations in the Linux kernel file operations structure go away, then what happens to read() and write() from user space? Which file operations do those call trigger in the kernel driver?
The userspace read() and write() syscalls aren't the same thing as read()/write() in file_operations. Presumably the syscalls will be updated to use the new _iter operations.
In fact, the syscalls already support f_op->read_iter/write_iter, so the code using the legacy f_op->read/write just needs to be removed. See the linux source code links below:
I read "Elusive: How Peter Higgs Solved the Mystery of Mass" by Frank Close and I found it an excellent read on the elusive Higgs Particle and the elusive Peter Higgs himself (Higgs went for a walk to hide from people on the day the Nobel Prize was announced).
> The original books are great but honestly the characters aren’t even in the books long enough to really develop them beyond the crises at hand, it’s more like a collection of short stories
The original three Foundation books are collections of short stories that Asimov originally wrote for magazines.
I learned Korean from a tourist guide book many years ago. After a few days, I could read and pronounce the train stops to figure out which stop to get off.
