How to make Cygwin use native symlinks

I stumbled upon this cool Cygwin option that allows you to use native Windows (NTFS) symlinks (like CreateSymbolicLinkW in the Win32 API, or mklink via cmd shell). Apparently there's a CYGWIN environment variable that "is used to configure many global settings for the Cygwin runtime system".

One of those options is winsymlinks:{lnk,native,nativestrict}.

if set to just winsymlinks or winsymlinks:lnk, Cygwin creates symlinks as Windows shortcuts with a special header and the R/O

Download Vagrant boxes manually

In this example, we're going to download the Midnight Sun box.

# The box URL is https://app.vagrantup.com/uwmidsun/boxes/box/versions/2.1.0
# In general, we just take the box URL, and then append the provider URL
# https://app.vagrantup.com/<organization name>/boxes/<box name>/versions/<version>/providers/<provider>.box
wget https://app.vagrantup.com/uwmidsun/boxes/box/versions/2.1.0/providers/virtualbox.box -O box-2.1.0.box

Install new Python versions

On my Nexus 5, I started shooting in RAW mode with JPG previews. However, when I copy the DNGs over to my laptop for editing/archival, I don't care about the JPG files.

The camera app creates two files:

filename.jpg: the JPG preview
