Seems like an unusually boring Resolve release. There's nothing there I particularly want to try out. Nothing wrong with that, I've just got used to every release having a ton of shiny new stuff in it. I guess the agentic stuff is

For the people who are sad about the high prices of the Pi range, I want to mention that I'm having a lot of fun with the Pi Pico 2. It's obviously not quite the same thing (ie. not a regular desktop computer), but it's ridic

This is a weird conversation. Python was a strange choice back then, but is now probably the most popular programming language in existence. If anything the choice of Python (and C++) was remarkable foresight / luck.

I'm a fairly casual / infrequent user, but they've already addressed most of the things I found infuriating in the past. The big remaining thing I can think of is the "layer boundary" thing, which (it seems to me) i

After the first run (where it has to evaluate plugins etc) it starts in under 4s on 26.04 on my Lenovo P53 (laptop from 2019). Which is admittedly not exactly snappy, but it's OK IMO.

If you use the friends or "all" feeds, you just get stuff about what your friends are up to and things from pages you've subscribed to. Or I do anyway. Also good for discovering events locally. Even the main feed isn't t

I think the closest thing to an actual "standard" is AES5-2018, "Recommended practice for professional digital audio". Abstract: > A sampling frequency of 48 kHz is recommended for the origination, processing, and int

I also have a tendency to say "Last century", thinking it comedically suggests "a long time ago" without it actually being that long ago. But as time goes by it obviously becomes legitimately a long time ago, and I s

The big IP films got better distribution and marketing, but there hasn't really been a shortage of original films produced over the last decade. The big franchise movies are a small proportion of films produced.

If you're talking about introducing it somewhere where there's currently no social safety net, sure. Where I live if you were to replace the existing safety net with say £1k a month (the level of our state pension, which is wide

I suppose it's like a magic trick. It's less impressive once you understand how it all works. But still, it's clearly effective and you can admire the artistry.

> Does the public really not know what editing is? I think most viewers would be unaware of the cut unless it was pointed out. Hence this sequence being called a "shot".

My recollection from this era is there was a common argument that provocation and boundary pushing were the way to ensure an uncensored internet. To me, it seems like that argument has been defeated by reality, but I've never seen much

Because it's Ubuntu policy to replace some foundational part of the system with some janky unfinished experiment in every release. I agree with you that that's more the story here than "OMG, somebody wrote Rust code with bugs

Maybe not what they meant, but Rust sometimes makes it tempting to just copy things rather than fighting the borrow checker. Whereas in C++ you're free to just pass pointers around and not worry about it until / unless your code c

Don't know if it counts, but my London cinema listings website just uses static json files that I upload every weekend. All of the searching and stuff is done client side. Although I do use sqlite to create the files locally. Total hos

These end a few years before I started getting them. I have a large pile of NMEs and Melody Makers from I guess the late '80s / early '90s if anybody wants to collect them from East London, free to good home :-)

I find it a bit odd how much people talk up the Rust aspect of Tauri. For most cases you'll be writing a Typescript frontend and relying on boilerplate Rust + plugins for the backend. And I'd think most of the target audience woul

Not related to the tech bits of this, but I finally got around to watching Aftersun a couple of days ago. It's a great, sad film about somebody watching home video from their childhood and reevaluating what was going on.

In the context of the Epstein files, I think Schmidt's actual quote looks pretty good ("If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place"). The problem is that
