For anyone looking to set up a virtual OBS webcam in Arch Linux, here's how I did it:

1. Install headers for your Linux kernel:

- sudo pacman -S linux56-headers

2. Install v4l2loopback-dkms from AUR:

- git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/v4l2loopback-dkms.git

- cd v4l2loopback-dkms

- makepkg -scCi

3. Create a virtual video capture device:

- sudo modprobe v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=10 card_label="OBS Cam" exclusive_caps=1

4. Set up a virtual audio device to avoid latency:

- sudo modprobe snd-aloop index=10 id="OBS Mic"

- pacmd 'update-source-proplist alsa_input.platform-snd_aloop.0.analog-stereo device.description="OBS Mic"'

5. Run ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -an -probesize 32 -analyzeduration 0 -listen 1 -i rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/test -f v4l2 -vcodec rawvideo /dev/video10

6. Setup OBS to stream to ffmpeg:

- File > Settings > Stream, set Service to "Custom..." and "Server" to `rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/test`

7. Setup low latency streaming:

- File > Settings > Output, set Buffer Size to 0, CPU Usage Preset to "ultrafast" and Tune to "zerolatency".

8. Start Streaming in OBS.

9. Select your virtual camera and audio devices in Google Meet / Zoom / etc.

I get virtually no latency with this setup but I'm running an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with 32GB of RAM. As always, YMMV.
Some decent parent and teacher things here, but also a couple of unusual and, I have to admit, quite fun games. Love this one:

> There is clearly a huge amount of work put into producing Fedora yet it has less users.

You're saying that like no work is being put into new Ubuntu's releases. Or its developers don't contribute to GNOME, for instance.

I tried Fedora Core several years ago. Got some broken package resolutions the very same day.

Reinstalled to Ubuntu, it had been more stable (probably simply thanks to 'apt', but still), and I didn't bother with Fedora since. Also, I'm not relishing having to learn rpm/yum/whatisname, with its new arguments, its different set of capabilities, and different names for packages I'm already familiar with.

Speaking of "modern and advanced", though, does it also support the NVIDIA driver's new "offload" PRIME mode? The one where you don't need to reboot or even relogin to use the discrete card.
Razer Ripsaw HD - it's apparently equivalent to an Elgato HD60S, but most importantly it's actually in stock :)
awesome. nice work btw.
Just checked out Newsy and created a site. Great concept and product! Excited to see if I get any traction from it.
Because it will allow for some form of competition because they will be forced to make decisions leaving space for other players to make different decisions.
Some might argue that it is post-modernism itself that is one of the most overlooked forms of anti-intellectualism, as opposed to its criticism.
It's a bit funny watching all of these economists backpedal and attempt to explain why the policies they promised would be so great for the average American have failed.

Summers has been talking elsewhere about how America needs a new approach to China that is more aligned with America's economic interests. Of course, he doesn't mention that he helped shape America's approach to China originally.
> getting past qualified immunity and winning a lawsuit.

There's a lot of hubub about qualified immunity these days, but it only shields individuals from individual civil responsibility, it does not shield organizations from organizational responsibility for the actions of individuals under their employ.

Chances are, parties would sue the organization anyway, as the individuals are unlikely to be able to pay significant damages.
> Reducing the police's arrests by ~25% will have a ~linear impact on police brutality. That is, it will reduce brutality by ~25%.

Negative. Police brutality is not just driven by the number of interactions, but the likely outcome of those interactions. Dealers are often armed and strongly prefer avoiding prison.
If the measure of effect is small, we probably won't know if it works until someone puts together a meta-analysis of all the randomised controlled trials. That could take months. And it seems like some of those trials have been paused because of the well known problems chloroquine has.
Thanks for the insights - I didn't realize (not an american) that the US police were so identitarian. But then, I guess that absolutely fits with american culture in general.

>can't be comfortable with freedom of the press.

I can see that - but equally, while each institution has an extreme pole it pulls towards, there are usually a few cooler heads who keep everybody grounded. Beating up journalists is an inherently self-destructive thing to do, no matter what you feel about them - ultimately, they have power, and if you beat them up, they're going to hold a grudge.

Perhaps the thing that Trump is really doing is demonstrating that, for whatever reason, normal rules no longer apply. You can build a wall in the desert. You can threaten people with real nuclear weapons on twitter. You can hit that jerk journalist who thinks he's smarter than you.

Anyhow, it's very strange. If I was in the US, I'd definitely be trying to diversify out of the country. Norms are what make a civilization. When they start getting broken from the top down, anything can happen.
>You give the computer instructions and explanation in a language, as clear as detailed as possible and you get back machine code

"Consume news media"

Some of us are living through this in real life, we're not all privileged to just watch this on TV. That's the entire point of being understanding to your employees and coworkers right now, YOU have no idea what is going on right now in other peoples lives, especially if they're not willing to be open with you because of opinions like you've just shared.

Acting like some "just deal with it and work" type is neither endearing nor macho. It wasn't cool 15 years ago when I got into tech and it's not cool now.

Have some empathy for your peers.

Work is not life. Tech is not life.
Why must you bring morality into the discussion?

On that note, China's so-called "debt trap" AKA foreign infrastructure investment is massively preferable to the looting, raping (literal and environmental), and bombing that is synonymous with Euro-American colonialist practices. In my humble opinion.

Imperialism/colonialism is always bad for The People but some forms are better than others in terms of human rights.
This makes me very uncomfortable :).
I'm recommending Dr Osato to everyone who have herpes simplex virus to get the cure from him. I was diagnose of genital herpes in 2019 and i have been searching and asking questions to see if i could get something to cure the disease because i did not believe what the doctors say that no cure is found yet. I came across a comment on Youtube and the person testify how she was cured from herpes and hpv after using Dr Osato herbal medicine. I quickly contact Dr Osato and explain my problem to him and he prepare the herbs and send it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use it and tell me to go for checkup after usage which i did after two weeks of taken the herbal medicine and my result was NEGATIVE. I waited another month and retested the result was still NEGATIVE and my doctor told me that am completely free from herpes. Am so happy and grateful to Dr Osato for what he has done for me and i will continue to share this for people out there to know that there is cure for herpes. You can contact Dr Osato on email and WhatsApp to get the cure from him. Email: osatoherbalcure@gmail.com and WhatsApp +2347051705853.
You always had reasonable managers.
I could ask any surfer on the beach right now and even they'd be able to identify that you've now entered a kind of argumentation where, if government is at all involved, government is the problem, no matter how it's involved.

"The AMA strictly controls the number of seats, and the government has a medical licensing process, therefore the AMA's actions are the government's fault."

Nope.
>The fact that the fraud was done relating to US dollars does not give the US government sovereignty over a foreign citizen.

The US government disagrees. And they control the banking sector because most FX transactions actually go Currency A->Dollars->Currency B. So their opinion is what matters. If you get caught selling to a sanctioned entity you'll be put on a blacklist and nearly every bank around the world will refuse to work with you. It's a financial death penalty.

This is why US sanctions are so nefarious.
Yeah, unfortunately it crashes Firefox on Android every time.
It appears that the Senate Majority Leader is a Bogle follower. I can cheer that even if I don’t agree with all of his policies :)
adjusted close prices aren't what you want, when a dividend occurs the adjusted close price is reduced by the dividend amount. you want total returns.

As someone who ran a hedge fund, I would be a little surprised if it turned out that people simply gave this a chance like any other investment.

When you do due diligence, especially when investing other people's money, you need to be able to justify your choices. If the investment sours you don't want to be the guy who decided to invest with a convicted criminal. You also want to be doing business with "fit and proper" people, this might even be a term that shows up in various documents as a necessity (eg Premier League has such a test for potential owners). Needless to say a guy with his history isn't fit and proper. In some countries you might even be barred from serving on a board if you got convicted of this sort of thing.
I appreciate your response, and I think my view is broadened as well :)

> do you think privacy should not fall into that category?

This one. Supermarket rewards are an example exchanging privacy for money that is rather uncontroversial. Obviously tech companies collect a lot more information, but I believe the same principle applies.

Annotating is fine as long as the user can choose what annotations they see and how those influence filtering. This idea that the stupid little people need the protection of the enlightened ones doing the censoring is profoundly un-american and must die.
Very good point. I’m sure some hardware that uploads encrypted footage that’s only accessible with a warrant is technically possible - which would alleviate this concern. But that’s in a perfect world.
Some of this complexity is unavoidable. pmOS is based on the ordinary Linux stack, but even then it has a lot of trouble with supporting basic features like phone calls, etc. At least Android works as a daily driver, even in its basic AOSP version.
You're getting downvoted for strange reasons. The surgeon general literally said this:

>When a switch is damaged/fails, you are out of luck. When a touchscreen is damaged/fails, you use the one next to it.

This is a trivial problem to solve on a physical interface. One solution could be what is commonly used on hardware synthesizers. A shift button or switch. You engage it and all controls begin to perform their secondary functions. You get redundancy for the price of one extra control and a secondary set of labels in a different color.

Also, use of displays to virtually label buttonss is common. In such case you can reassign a control if one fails.

In any case Dragon capsule had physical buttons for important functions as a backup.
I don't like Microsoft much either and even I can still see your comments aren't fair

> These things all seem less and less important, though? Don't most modern companies have web services for their internal apps?

Actually it's more important than ever. All these cloud services means when staff leave there's more risk of an account accidentally being left open. Federated access resolves this problem.

> I don't have AD - I have an SSO web login for a variety of web sites and SAS products.

That "SSO web login" might still be Active Directory (it might not, but in many organisations it is).

> File shares? That's Dropbox or Google Drive now.

Or Microsoft OneDrive -- which would be authenticated against AD.

> Email? In your browser.

I'm a big fan of local mail clients but Microsoft have supported web mail longer than most people might realise. Quite a few years long than Google Mail. Longer even than Yahoo! Mail. OWA (Outlook Web Access) was first shipped in Microsoft Exchange 5 released sometime in mid to late 90s on Windows NT4. Sure, OWA was pretty basic but did a good enough job.

Microsoft also bought Hotmail back in '97

These days Microsoft have a pretty extensive suite of web-based office applications from Word and Excel through to Outlook. You might have heard of Office 365? Well that can also authenticate against Active Directory.
Allotropes aren't "pure" (STP) molecular N2.

This allotrope seems to be the sort of thing that would be (or could be) formed in a sufficiently powerful, or engineered, explosion. How or to what ends ... I'm not sure.
So if an elected official posts a picture of themselves naked or with their nipples out it won’t be censored?
The real advantage of mirrorless cameras is that there are less things that can go out of alignment, for high resolution photography everything counts (before you dismiss this, look up shimming kits for medium format backs).
The scaling of bandwidth with the number of people _actually transmitting video_ is not perfect, so you results will vary with internet uplink speeds.

> Brian Roundy, a spokesman for Private Division, said the company contacted “every member of the development team” at Star Theory with an invitation to join the new studio, called Intercept Games. “More than half of the team is now at Intercept Games,”

Granted it's from the mouth of T2, but it sounds like the offer was at least more universal, and they would have preferred or at least been amenable to absorbing the whole team.
Turning off exceptions in this case doesn't prevent you from handling errors. You just have to check the error object to see.
Those were all local municipalities, responsive to their electorate - if the surfers in a community wanted Google fiber huts, they could elect councils who would allow them.

I think it's reasonable that people should have local control over their city environs, even if it means a multinational like Google can't come in and build new infrastructure. It's not a "will of the people, unless Google wants to build fiber huts everywhere" kind of society. Maybe they should just go surfing instead.
There is literally no one advocating for existing corporations to be converted into co-ops. People are saying there should be more co-ops in general, but that can be promoted by creating an environment that's more friendly and attractive to founding co-ops. Or educating people to promote the concept, which is largely unknown to the public. Bringing up the possibility of government force in the discussion is cheap scaremongering. It's like screaming "communism!" in a practical discussion about tax policy.

Though the concept of Amazon becoming a co-op is interesting. One wonders if a majority of Amazon employees organized and wanted that, if there would be even any legal avenue for them to do that. They probably wouldn't have enough shares to make that change from within.
Your argument is based on corporations existing within a closed system within the country. But you're ignoring the ability of money leaving the country without being taxed.
I'm glad you're aiming for a different niche because I was gonna say the exact same thing.

I had one awkward conversation and then one person quit in the first second.

Omegle was the same for text. Either I'd quit when I saw "ASL?" or they'd quit when I replied.
Isn't it effectively the same thing as swallowing Throwable with an empty catch block in Java?
I am definitely not OP. But I would guess there is some background agent or cron job running that populates his database from the dataset api. From that there is the web site that reads from the db to render the two visualizations - graph and table.

please correct me if I'm wrong or terse
I mean I suppose the argument could be that they are afforded special protections because they are acting as press (i.e. at the protests primarily to document and report events). But the constitution protects peaceable assembly as well as the freedom of the press, so it's hard to see how this case would turn on that.
probably makes sense to use a few different metrics of information ratio vs $SPY, t-bills and a 60/40 portfolio.
For a unit test, you could reduce the loop counter to say 1024.
So at worst we have someone who is intentionally inciting violence.

At best we have a leader of our country too irresponsible to do due diligence on his own posts to the entire free world. He has literally infinite resources at his disposal to communicate effectively about this.

Being a hateful bigot and or an ignoramus should both be unacceptable positions for the leader of the US. Furthermore this isn't the first time he's said or done hateful / bigoted / ignorant things / lied so you'll excuse people if they don't give him the 'benefit of the doubt'.
Not all social interaction is this terrifying.
> is that people often take what elected officials say as truth

Well educate them on that instead of trying to control the information flow. History taught us that will always backfire.
Yes, I work in Haskell. As you say we have lots of types---and type errors. But refactoring is still insanely easier. I'm kinda infamous for bundling a refactor with every feature, in fact, because the extra work is just so minimal I cannot help myself.

I don't believe anyone was asked do pick. It's a false dichotomy.

Yet the S&P500 is still green. The Fed continues to print in order to delay the inevitable. Either a currency crisis or hyperinflation.
Low light? WHen I was a shooting pro, ISO 800 was where colour went away, and P3200 - the new kid on the block - was where you went for B&W. If you took it over 6400, you were fooling yourself. (I remember David Brooks going on in one of the magazines about how he could shoot at 12800 if he metered differently, but anyone who actually knew what they were doing could see that he was finding a different way of metering for 6400, then giving a little extra push in development, which he should have been doing with his other 6400 images as well.) This whole "see colour in the dark" thing is new - arguably, it wasn't a thing before the Nikon D3/D700. And no, phones aren't great for sports or birding - but that's not what most people have ever done with cameras.

The number of people who want a camera is vanishingly small. What almost everybody wants is a thing that takes pictures. These days, that doesn't have to be an extra thing; they're going to be carrying their phones for all sorts of other reasons. (BTW, lighting is far, far more important than the gear you use to capture the effects of the lighting. If I had to tell people to pay attention to only one thing, it would be the lighting - whether that's "found" lighting or something you deliberately set out to create. Get that right, and "fix it in post" becomes a whole lot less attractive.)

Under the 'verb' usage:

It's about 5x faster given their benchmarks. Also it's written in Rust ;)
Fun fact, there are also images that can cause some human beings to crash. Namely those that induce gamma oscillations such as black and white bar patterns.

It would be interesting to train a generative NN on human EEG response to create images that produce novel or unusual effects on the viewer.
While I'm sure you're feeling pressure from the CCP to make an argument like this, I hope you at least realize your argument is largely undermined when it's made in the context of Huawei literally lying about - and trying to normalize - doing business with a dangerous regime.
Another assumption that is just completely untrue. Some people have important yet routine things that are crucial to their health.

And planning does matter, because when events are planned, proper detours can be set up with signage.
I quite enjoyed this exchange at the end

I even took one on Blue Peter and demonstrated it to Anthea Turner!
(embedded video @ 1:48)
Anthea: What do the manufacturers think of it?
James: Well they quite like it, but they're not doing anything about it.
Anthea: Are steps being taken to do anything about it?
James: Well no unfortunately we need to pass some laws so that people are forced to fit it.

It's actually much more because the DSLR companies, for the most part, are technologically-backwards, and don't get things like platforms, APIs, or similar. It's nineties-style closed thinking. It's a big part of why cell phones are now eating their lunch. I used to be a pretty serious photographer, and own probably $10,000 worth of camera equipment.

I mostly shoot with my cell phone these days, not because I mind spending money on cameras, but because it's a better device for most photography. It integrates with the world. Cameras integrate with their manufacturer's closed ecosystems.
> Can you aerobrake around a star?

If you can keep your cool, why not? Matter is matter.

What's better, you could technically radiation-brake around a star. I don't know how big of a solar sail you'd have to present to get a meaningful force from it.
