There’s one feature of OBS that’s missing for me, and that’s recording sources to separate files. I believe this is called “multicording”, and it something I’ve only found in paid software, like screen flow.

Here is the multi year discussion in the OBS forums: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/recording-sources-to-se...

NO!!!! Go outside. Not to an office. It's not safe.
Without mitigation, sure. But of course the deaths, overwhelmed hospitals, etc. would be horrific.

Instead, we're trying to "flatten the curve" in most countries. This means we're directly trying to lower the doubling time, which means that we won't develop herd immunity the same way. Lots of pockets of never-infecteds will exist where COVID can crop up again.

I'd also caution estimating based on current "confirmed case" counts. Almost every country has suffered from test shortages, and even those that haven't had shortages haven't been testing everyone -- in most cases, if you aren't having trouble breathing, you're advised to just stay at home and assume you're infected. So honestly nobody knows just how many people are infected.
Adult content I think would be an easier category to filter on. However I would love it if they released the list of their blocked domains.
Did you read the beginning? This is an extension to an existing dead man switch app whose only purpose is to hide the fact that it's a dead man switch. The underlying app is indeed a dead man switch.
That's good advice.

But yes, the best way to cure the ailments of zero-IF is to use low-IF, and the best way to cure the ailments of low-IF is to use high-IF and filters -- and we're back to standard RF architecture.

Nothing will make you respect traditional superheterodyne architecture quite like fighting with software image suppression / signal path correction.
Agree with you. Saw something like this not too long ago where it was not handled crisply. There were no long-lasting consequences as far as I know and I can't get into the details but it was just sloppy and leaked all over the place.

I think your advice is well dramatized by this Moneyball scene:

OBS is a very nice example of developping & distributing a Qt app to Mac / Windows / Linux with rad performance.
Just started using it last week, and we'll be using it for our first virtual meetup next Thursday!

It's a great project, but the area that would make it absolutely amazing would be a better layout UX. It requires lots of clicking around to get things lined up and sized properly. Some UX practices from existing layout systems like inkscape would go a long way.

Constructive feedback: All the copy on both your website and in the app store assumes that one knows what a dead man's switch is in general, and what it means in this context in particular (ie, what you wrote above).

The Jetbrains model needs a simple, catchy name so that more companies can be inspired to choose it. Perpetual subscription?
Thanks for explaining. So basically - this app acts like a concealed/plausibly deniable dead-man's switch with the capability of contacting third parties who might be able to help if the phone is taken away/destroyed by the abuser. And the reason the action isn't taken immediately is that it can take some time to set up a proper "escape" - but if critical, this can be expedited.

That makes sense now. It's not immediately obvious to a newcomer.
I recognize we start from different places on this, but unrequested email does not necessarily equal SPAM. We had a guy a few months ago who threatened all kinds of litigation and reporting etc. when we reached out cold. At the same time, one of his colleagues responded with interest and just before Christmas their company signed a 5-figure annual deal with our client to provide an endpoint security solution they needed for their managed services practice.

Put another way, if I honest to God had a gold bar with your name on it and contacted you by email to say "when can we meet up so I can give you this gold bar" and you replied and we met up and I gave you your gold bar, you wouldn't view my message as SPAM at all because now you have a gold bar that is worth a bunch of money. Hey, free gold bar!@ But when it comes to cold outreach many people defer to "I didn't ask for this email....SPAM SPAM SPAM!" Sometimes what's being offered isn't a good fit, doesn't provide ROI, etc. But sometimes it turns out to be a gold bar.

I don't think that a business reaching out and saying "You guys provide X, we have a solution that does Y and has helped other companies that provide X in a meaningful way" is remotely the same as a Nigerian Prince selling Viagra.
I definitely feel the US is constantly behind the curve in this. After trying to downplay it for a while the administration had to accept reality but instead of taking strong measures they still do things only very reluctantly. Then on the other hand they close parks while at the same people are crowding in stores without masks or gloves.
Stay strong. I stayed for the same reasons but she wanted to end it. I'm in a better place, but I'm terrified for my children and nobody that can do anything about it believes any of it.

Don't expect your kids to see through it - it's normal for them. Sorry, but that's my experience.
oh come on now, this isn't a billionaire asking for hand outs for their business this is someone who happens to be a billionaire asking for people to use common sense unfortunately it's in short supply in the US so you have to have a government mandate it.
Depends on the desired level of detail, and how "simulate-able" the system is designed to be. For example if everything uses a central event queue, one can to Discrete Event Simulation by just jumping to the next event.
However an exiting Kubernetes swarm is not very simulate, as with most other existing software. And until (or if) simulation becomes a priority, this will continue to be the case.
Mr. Gates is already rich and insulated from a likely downturn. It's important to balance the welfare of Americans with their financial welfare, and we can't just borrow our way out of the economic fallout that a months-long shutdown would produce.

Edit: ITT people saying I want to sacrifice 2 million for the economy. I didn't say remove all preventative measures, I said we need to balance. I'd guess this looks something like a production possibilities frontier graph: we'll be sacrificing a lot of economy to get a little more health past a certain point, and vice-versa. It's the job of lawmen to strike that balance.

Bill Gates doesn't have to worry about where is next meal and rent funds are going to come from.

If he wanted sane government policy, he should've run for office (not to discredit the work of his foundation, he has done quite a bit of good) or funded folks to run who align with his ideals. He's not wrong! He just didn't put the effort and resources into having a role in meaningful input.
If you assume that your conscious experience is somehow arising from your neurons, then generating a set of those neurons that are genetically identical and cannot be distinguished in any way (except location in physical space, which is an ephemeral quality that doesn't appear to change neuron function), then we can assume we are creating, or will create, beings who are having conscious experience on some level.

On an ethical level, I think we need to understand whether we are creating thinking feeling creatures who will be doomed to suffer as data slaves before we normalize this. If I removed your brain from body, removing all sense pleasures, drowning you in darkness and isolation, and the only input and output you had were binary signals for some abstract data problem, you would experience profound silent suffering in an eternal private hell.

This truly would be the invention of the matrix, but not for an army of tyrannical robots / AI, but for the use of humans themselves -- a modern day slavery of the mental kind.
The clenched teeth metaphor is apt. Michael Kohlhaas is a character I found myself personally identifying with - in a mixture of envy, doom and fear. And von Kleist is able to make compelling arguments, at the same time and in the same prose, for him being both painfully right and painfully wrong in his choices.

But read the actual story before reading this piece, IMHO.

Also note that the full text of a different (older?) translation is available online, e.g. here:

Medieval analogy- nobody wants the emperor to rule into his little thiefdom, but come the enemy, come the plague, they all demand protection, by that city on the hill.

Time to discard that ideology, as even a coherent ideology, and just sum it up as what it is- a nice way to cloth a wish list of the mighty.
Hm, the RFC says the braces are needed if it is not an "identity expression" with the examples:

const X: usize = 7;

let x: RectangularArray<i32, 2, 4>;
let y: RectangularArray<i32, X, {2 * 2}>;

So I'm still not sure if Color::Green is an identity expression, they say:

> Identity expression: An expression which cannot be evaluated further except by substituting it with names in scope. This includes all literals as well all idents

So... maybe? Depends on whether Color::Green is an ident or not. At the very least I'd expect this to work, but it doesn't yet:

I also saw that comment and laughed. However, I really don’t think it is a good comparison at all. It’s more just funny to think about.
Bill Gates. Maybe you should bribe congress the same way that right wing scumbags like Koch and Adelson do. Tell them to give us universal health care, impeach Trump, etc. You could also buy FOX News and shut it down. With great power comes great responsibility. You have enough money and power to fix the world, and you only use a mere fraction of it. Sure you got enough Porches in your garage, though.
Almost every request looks like it has been improperly scraped from Reddit. A ton of queries I made have responses that look exactly like this:

> Flair: Other

> Title: My friend is a girl

> Flair: Discussion

> Title: What are your favorite things about being in high school?

> Flair: Other

> Title: My friend is a girl and she likes me too

> Text: She told her friends about it

I cannot think of a context where including Reddit meta tags makes sense.
I've heard this before, but am not sure to what it refers. What is this fallacy? I always figured people could just get a restraining order or a concealed carry license if needed. Do the situations of abuse commonly preclude this?
Not intentionally. Just trying to give a more up to date figure and a source for it.
Aside from restarts, the core difference between the Common Lisp condition system and exceptions in most other languages is that the exception handler can run before the stack is unwound.

Having the call-stack available at the time the handler runs can be very useful; many modern dynamic languages will save some of that information in the exception object. It's still surprising to me that so very few languages have copied this feature (or even independently discovered it).

I don't understand. What are you suggesting, exactly? What action?

> they always fall back upon regulation, public investment, and centralized actions.

Who is "they"? And what regulation, public investment, and centralized action are you talking about, specifically? And what is the alternative that you would prefer?
Wow really? I remember looking at their prices 5–10 years ago and thinking they seemed a bit inflated.
> It amazes me that the rich spend their younger days talking about deregulation and the free-markets, but when there's real need to take action, they always fall back upon regulation

Unless they were talking about free-markets during an emergency, they aren't inconsistent. Even die-hard libertarians still want a working court system and enforcement (by gov't) for property rights enforcement. I don't agree with die hard libertarians, but you can't make a purity argument to dismiss their points.

I'm not impressed by Gate's OpEd. Nothing about making the social changes necessary to keep functioning the way places like Korea have been able to. No mention of Facemasks. All he says is that we should shut everything down for months, test more, and make a vaccine. If you look at his suggestions from a month ago[1] they seemed to be mainly to help poor countries and fast track vaccines. Just a month ago he was completely blind to how much of a problem this would be for wealthy countries, and how weak their response to it was.

Is Bill Gates an elected official? Is he a medical doctor?

Sorry, I understand that he means well, but we need more democratic engagement and less opinions from billionaire industrialists.
That's a little extreme, but they've certainly sucked the air out of the room.

That said, I think we need to watch for this kind of demonisation... especially as we don't really have mature ideas on the alternative/solution to the current crop of monopolists.
The comment is not dog whistling...people need to stop misusing political terminology. It renders words meaningless. Considering that you depend upon hiding behind words, it is best not to deconstruct your own shield.

Spotify Finally Brings Missing Artists and Titles to India
Can we start to accuse apple of being complacent in domestic abuse then? I'm only mostly joking

Apple products are used at a far higher proportion among women (and the vast majority of domestic abuse victims are women) than Android products are and the locked down nature of the platform means that attempts to fight this with innovative apps masquerading as other apps (as the author has indicated that they want to do) breaks their TOS and is banned by the platform.

Feminists need to start sounding the alarm right now and pushing women towards open platforms which give them a chance to fight against their abusers.
Ah ok. I don't write Rust either but maybe it'd look like:

State { _inner: Terminate {} }
}

So how many lives are you willing to sacrifice for the economy? 0.7% of the US? That's two million people. That's a pretty optimistic number too. Maybe the 4% world-wide case fatality rate is closer to the true fatality rate. Remember that in Italy the case fatality rate is around 10%.
This seems to be a global feeling. People in most countries seem to think that theirs is constantly behind the curve, that they aren't locking down fast enough and their testing is so grossly inadequate compared to the rest of the world that their government is practically trying to kill them.
That’s great.

As imperfect as it is these types of external reviews do give me some level of comfort.
Maybe the words "dead man" in the name of a service about domestic abuse is not such a great idea :(

Why not? The dollar is getting even stronger as the world rushes to our currency out of fear that their currency will have even more problems.

That's the problem with economies at scale, a bathroom break for small store owner is not an issue.
When you have 1000's of stores its a massive saving area, where its much easier to justify pissing bottles. Any small trivial thing at scale can cost or save huge amounts money.

And when we talk huge sums of money, morality often is tossed out of the window first.

if this is the only site that exhibits this bizarre behavior, it seems perfectly reasonable to hypothesize that the site is responsible.
