I use Kdenlive and it uses proxy files. Final Cut also uses the same technique, then when you render the final file it substitutes proxy files with actual raw files.

How would you handle uploading gigabytes of stuff, though..? Cameras are so good nowadays that even a 10-minute video can weight 2GB.
Hah.. bazinga!

I've learned a lot since I started writing Ruby at my first permanent job in 2010, and I'm 100% sure that if I looked at any of the early Ruby code I wrote in 2010, I'd grumble and groan at it just as hard as if you showed me some PHP code that I wrote at my first co-op job as a sophomore in college.

You can write great code in any language. You can also write a shanty-town or big ball of mud, in practically any language. I think it's unfair to say that PHP in and of itself represents a "bad code smell." But I'm also fairly sure from anecdotal evidence that I'm in the minority.

I understand completely now. Thanks for that.
Seeing as that would be illegal under most existing zoning laws...that would fit the modern SV blueprint for success.

Facilitate a massive organized effort to break the law using your app, then claim innocence, after all you are “just a software company” you didn’t illegally offer the ride for hire, rent your apt, and now rent an illegal dwelling.
The story with the Transit Connect is that it counts as a car (for this tax) while it has the seats, but would counts as a truck when configured for cargo.

But if this same tax discourages (say) Toyota from importing SUVs, then they must count as trucks always, even when configured for passengers. So this loophole doesn't help them.

I thought CAFE was a major factor, as (if I understand right) it discourages big powerful cars, but is silent on trucks including SUVs.

That's fair, if that needs to happen. I found my caloric considerations where my tracking - I built a spreadsheet where I input values so I could track my daily allotment as I ate. I always tracked it before I ate it.

I worry that daily tracking could be discouraging or introduce maldaptive behaviour - you went up a lbs since yesterday, but that's because your morning poop wasn't as productive as it usually is, and now you feel like you need to go more extreme to make up for it the rest of the day.
“no one gets fired for buying AWS” – intentionally provocative thoughts
Not a doctor, and this is just anecdotal, but I lost 60 pounds in 3 months, a couple years ago (6'4" -- went from 260lbs to 200). So that was about 0.6lbs a day. (I think that's actually on the low range of metabolism -- some people can do more like 1-2lbs a day fasting).

Honestly, there were no side effects other than my back problems went away, I stopped snoring, and I felt better. Even with fasting, I just think your body has enough time to catch up when it's just a pound a day or whatnot. (Btw, you know what the world record for fasting is? 382 days. I'm not recommending that, I like food, but, as long as you get enough nutrients not to get something like scurvy and you consult with a doctor the human body is a lot more adaptable than people realize)

atom-ide (https://ide.atom.io) brings a lot of the great intellisense features over to Atom. It's most likely not completely on par, but as far as I can tell and based on my own usage, it's beyond good enough for most work.
Thanks for taking the time to clarify what you meant. I think I can see what you mean about how you don't really have a word to describe the picture you're painting.

I don't know if I agree with you about the idea that women want children more than men do as a matter of biology. Speaking "as a younger guy who has been on the dating scene recently" (your description, not mine), women seem really varied to me in terms of what they want. Some hate the thought of having children and wish other women would stop talking about them. Others tell me being a parent is something they've always wanted. I've known plenty of 20-something women that don't really care for children, but their long-term 20-something male partners vehemently do. I say this as someone partaking in anonymous city living in a "liberal" west-coast environment. I think women's attitudes on children are actually pretty varied, and the shadow of how we used to expect them to act/live still lingers over the twenty-first century.

Philosophers like Butler[1] often propose that we're treated as a child specific ways due to our sex, and we internalize it and kind of have this self-reinforcing culture. I think this plays a lot into our assumptions about women's attitudes, and how we treat them in turn, and they respond in turn.

Agreed. I walked away from my Bolt test drive wondering who it was for. It's ugly and not fun to drive. The base price is low but lacks features that should have been standard 10 years ago (automatic headlights are optional!) Fast charging is an extra $750, and they have basically zero stations. You can't get all-wheel drive. The rear seats suck.

The one feature I was really hoping a legacy car manufacturer would include was a spare tire, and they don't.

I thought the same thing, but I was corrected here on HN: if you read the same exact like you posted, it says "a fine up to €20 million or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financial year in case of an enterprise, whichever is greater", so the they ARE allowed to fine you EUR 20 million.

Much more than "just a cost of doing business" for the majority of companies.
That's good to hear. In my town (Grand Rapids, MI) they've been on the radar for a few years, but some NIMBY neighborhood organizations keep killing reform. While the Grand Rapids housing market is far from the craziness of much of California, we are experiencing a significant housing crunch, and costs are rising rapidly—especially relative to wages.

We're actually in the process of building one right now (detached garage with ADU above), and we had to go through the Special Land Use process, which entailed paying a $2000 fee and presenting at a Planning Commission meeting. Most of the other items on the agenda were for things like a nonprofit building office space in a residential neighborhood, a large proposed housing development, and the like. Our little $185k project required the same paperwork and fee as those multi-million dollar endeavors.

IMHO, ADUs have a ton of upsides for communities with few downsides: they increase density with minimal impact to the character of the neighborhood (while we demolished a 80-year-old garage, our 102-year-old house is being left alone), enable small-scale upper-middle-class landlords, and activate underutilized space (such as replacing old functionally obsolete detached garages).

I wonder if there's a market for investors to fund ADU projects, similar to how Solar City and the like sell PV installations: the investor pays for the construction of an ADU, under the condition that they are entitled (via a deed rider) to the majority of rental earnings until the loan is paid off. This would be more complicated (and probably more risky) than the PV business—with PV you don't have to worry about vacancies, managing tenants, and the like—but I think it could work in certain markets, as long as enlightened municipalities remove unnecessary roadblocks.
Sorry, missed that. You're right, not a high-value comment.
Hey there - if you selected 'private' during the community creation flow, everything in that community will be private. However, there will still exist the concept of "public" and "private" channels, however those scopes are still constrained by the community settings. For example, a private community with a public general channel means everyone who has access to the community can see those conversations. But if you have a private channel in a private community, only a subset of authorized community members will be able to see those threads.

Everyone here owes themselves to watch Disney's "Tomorrowland".

"'We saved a seat for you?' That's a commercial."

I was just looking at stills from Tomorrowland, for inspiration for things to build in Second Life. Second Life is a good test for futuristic architecture, because, after you build it, you get to live, work, and play in it. You find out if anyone else wants to. Not much passes that test.

Tomorrowland is a theme park. Swooping roads with no offramps. Big round unflyable craft that land in cradles. Giant tubes full of plants. It's not a working future.

"Minority Report" is considered one of the better examples of futuristic urban design in film. It suffers from the usual problems. Giant arcology structures mean nobody in the interior volume has a window. The road network's connectivity is far too low. Overall, though, it looks halfway workable.

"I, Robot" is a bit more workable. Worlds with a lot of "nature", like "Avatar" and "Jurassic Park" do OK. The giant tree thing tends to be overdone.

There's a whole world building department at USC's film school.[1] Their videos are not impressive. There's a startup in this space.[2] Mostly they do title sequences and ads.

Hasn't every study prior said fasting (especially combined with low carb diet in between) is far better than low calorie, because your body makes different adjustments to lack of food rather than some food and you actually end up worse on a low calorie diet because your body isn't getting the full amount of nutrients and calories it wants/needs but doesn't make the adjustments it'll make for brief periods of lack of food.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I agree. This is not optimal. The project was more a learning experience for me with language interpretation. I have since learned that it is better to implement a byte-code emitter and a stack-based VM. I just wanted to get the tree-walker to a reasonable place before moving on.

Thanks for the links. These are valuable.

I think I've only heard generations specifically named in our North American English-speaking culture, but I think it is a very useful idea anywhere in the modern world where everything is completely different every 20 years. One very obvious generational divide that applies to much of the world is between those that remember WWII and those that don't. Those involved in the Vietnam War (or the American War, as it is known in Vietnam) also share a (horrifying but bonding) experience that they do not share with later generations.
With a comparison of how hard or how long it takes to become proficient with a language, this article is pretty meaningless. From anecdotes I've heard from others about Rust and my own (limited) experience with the language, I suspect they are on to something, but this article contributes nothing that convinces me that Rust is hard to learn.
> Zoning exists for a reason. People don't want short term rentals

Zoning exists to separate industry from residential and also to separate middle-class households (people who can afford to use their home only for consumption, whose only animals are pets and whose only crop is grass) from the working-class (people who made income on their home by taking in boarders, growing chickens, doing home businesses, etc.) Middle-class zoning banned these working-class activities (see https://www.amazon.com/American-Nightmare-Government-Undermi...). I think it’s really tricky to separate who is harming whom in the modern day when houses are seen as an investment and there is insufficient zoning for working-class people, and where the norms of what a house is for may be changing.
It’s already happening. For example many people code in a subset of C++.
Luckily,when it's internal you can use the ESR release and set a policy that allows it to be installed anyway.

No, I want Vanguard to hire an independent expert for each company I'm invested in and make the right decisions for me. It is not possible for a human to make an informed decision on voting for each of the thousands of stocks out there. That is one advantage of the fund is they can do that for me.

I have noticed when I vote the shares of the few shares I own that I'm almost always voting with the board of directors. When I've seen a proposal the directors have recommended a No vote on it is always some activist who has their own interests in mind at the expense of me. Sometimes the directors recommend things I disagree with, but those are generally minor details where either way is not harmful to my interests.
The vim plugins in atom completely blow VSCode's out of the water. It's split up into two packages ('vim-mode-plus' for most of vim, and 'ex-mode' for handling ex commands), but they work together very well.

In my experience (which certainly does not reflect everyone's), Atom wins in performance these days, too. Startup time is a bit slower, but once it's running it's quite snappy. It feels... less like a webapp than VSC does, if that makes sense.

I think even if it wasn't trademarked, they'd likely look into Passing Off (or whatever equivalent laws are present in the country they would decide to proceed with legal action is available), given the exact same name and style of a Nintendo product is being used.

I don’t know the nature of your problems of course, but I found the antidepressant didn’t just make me feel better about things - it also made me better at actually solving my problems.

It fixed my social anxiety and made me better at talking to people, which helped with all sorts of human-related problems. People enjoy my company in social situations, and I enjoy my family’s company (I didn’t really connect with many of them before). I used to think I couldn’t relate to people because I was autistic - maybe I’m on the spectrum, but now that I’m not scared of talking to people and am less of a bummer, I can be friends with all sorts of people.

Also made me less afraid to deal with a bunch of other things I needed to change. It makes things that seemed too hard to bother fixing, suddenly doable. Problems that I used to think of as “facts of life” have been solved.

Of course if you’re dying from a terminal illness or something it’s not going to fix that. And, different antidepressants work for different people, and it’s possible that none will work for you. But there are combinations like Remeron + Effexor (aka “California Rocket Fuel”) that are much more effective if the first attempt fails.

Your question and tone is falling into exactly the trap that OP is talking about. The point is not that these specific ideas are _wrong_, the point is that it's a lot more complicated than whether some specific thing is "right" or "wrong." Your intuition will generally make you feel good if you just let it completely dominate your belief system with the "easy" answer, like "of course reading to your kids is good for them." It's hard to challenge your intuition, but it's necessary to base it on real data/evidence if you want to develop your intuition to a point where it actually has utility in evaluating _new_ scenarios based on past experience.
