FWIW there's definitely some performance optimization that could be done in my plugin. Three things I know of:

1) Potentially an entire framebuffer memory copy could be avoided if we could get CMBlockBufferCreateWithMemoryBlock to work. See the CMSampleBufferCreateFromDataNoCopy method (currently unused -- linked below) in my code. It mostly worked but the virtual camera video wouldn't show up at full resolution in OBS, which is how I typically test while developing. Not sure why it wasn't working; possible it's an obscure OBS bug.

https://github.com/johnboiles/obs-mac-virtualcam/blob/master...

2) It might also be possible to get the virtual camera to advertise one of the pixel formats that OBS supports natively which would avoid the pixel format conversion in the CPU. I _bet_ this is where the majority of the performance hit from my plugin happens. I'm not sure if this is possible, however. Maybe OBS doesn't natively support any formats you can use for virtual cameras.

https://github.com/johnboiles/obs-mac-virtualcam/issues/102

3) If #2 isn't possible, maybe the pixel format transformation could happen on the GPU? I don't know much about GPU programming but maybe this would help.
Eject Trump next.
It's also bizarre because it's so stupid. Normally, police don't beat journalists because they're conscious that if you force the media to side with the protesters, it's pretty much all downhill from thereon in. Once the media has a narrative, politicians will start picking up on it for political capital, and then it's only a matter of time before low and mid-level police start getting thrown under the bus.

I'd be interested to know to what extent it is that the police have simply internalized Trump's media antipathy. Perhaps the insane self-destructiveness of his time in office is leaking...
I just worked out I've edited and published 3607 newsletter issues over the past 10 years so I know a little bit about this and.. automating bits and pieces around the production of a newsletter is certainly time worth spent. But automating the actual inclusion of content? Maybe for certain types of content, but you don't build up a tone, a sense of audience, or a long term narrative this way.. it just becomes a link/data dump. It's not necessarily bad or unsuitable in every case, but automating curation is in most cases not a route to a long term, loyal audience IMHO.
I was always told the reason was to encourage investing, to increase the velocity of money. Interest income from parking your money in the bank is taxed as ordinary income; lower taxes on investment income (capital gains) helps make investing more attractive vs parking the money.

This may not make a lot of sense right now when interest rates are close to zero, but there was also a time when interest rates were 20%.
You mean the sequel to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory?
Thank you for the quick reply. Awesome site!
Courts tend to take a dim view of well-monied people bullying the not-monied in courts. Larger companies are well aware of this, so are their employees, and the companies get sued constantly by those employees, and the companies usually settle because it's cheaper.

I personally know of many, many cases of this.
Are your venvs themselves the git repo too? Sounds like they're not, because you have a different project folder.

What's your rationale for now putting the venv inside the project and ignoring it? À la node_modules.

I've shifted to this after years of your method and like it. I do hate .gitignore expanding arbitrarily. But that's life.
> No one was willing to take any real steps until after Twitter's fact-check/hidden tweet. What took so long?

I'm not sure what caused Twitter to change after so many years of taking heat for ignoring their own rules. But once Twitter has shown he's not untouchable, other platforms now have a proof that it can be done, and a precedent to point to.

Similar thing happened with Alex Jones. He seemed unstoppable until YouTube kicked him, and soon all other platforms followed. Interesting twist that previously no platform wanted PR shitstorm for being the last one keeping the persona non grata. This time Facebook is clearly betting on being Trump's platform after everyone else shows him the door.
Right-handed, but use trackpad with left if using pen/pencil to take notes (well, doodle). Usually use a mouse rather than trackpad when not holding a pen, but my left-handed mouse skills are terrible. I have tried, but l-h trackpad works for me.
What can one person say? It is strange for this market to be similar with Enron. Keeping people in poor conditions without work is not good for so many people leaving jail. But he really hurt many.
There are good things there of course, first and foremost the salaries and the nice suburban houses. It's a good place to consume things I guess.
But there are many illnesses as well, what's happening now could be just a preview if things go sour economically.
Also you will work more and probably experience more stress for that money than you would in Europe. On average North Europe is way happier than the U.S but not as many people wanna move there (can be partly explained by the language barriers but I think it's simply people thinking that more money = more happiness).

> Black lives matter is destroying cities across the USA.

I don't think anyone has a good solution to that. Many people have been very angry for years and they feel the need to express that. It doesn't really matter if the owners of shops are white or black at this point. If you try to block this anger, the result will be even more anger. So I think the policemen who kneel, hug, kiss the shoes etc. are doing the right thing - trying to minimize losses. And it's hard to stop because there is no good leader like MLK who can positively channel the emotions and actually present some feasible proposal that could be implemented.
Very cool! It looks great.

just as other countries closed their borders to China it seems fair for China to now close its borders or not accept flights to/from other countries with uncontrolled spread of covid.
I think the person you're responding to is talking about an asymmetry of rules - current politicians can say anything, everyone else has to follow rules. In that situation, current politicians can lie about their opponents, but opponents cannot lie back.
> How has the USSR ended up in horror?

By killing roughly 20 millions of its own citizens?
By forcibly deporting the whole nations from their homeland to a different part of the USSR?
By forcing the surviving rest into poverty?
By enslaving other countries for half of the century?

I'm always surprised how unaware people in the West are of all of that (unlike Nazi crimes which are well known).

You might think that Hitler was the most evil person of all the time, but Stalin really tried his best to outdo him (and succeeded, some would say).

EDIT: Actually no, I'm not surprised that Western countries forgot about Stalin's atrocities. It was a deliberate choice - in order to win World War II Churchil and Roosvelt needed Stalin as an ally, but they couln't admit to their societies, to their voters, that they made a pact with the devil, so they made sure that Soviet crimes are forgotten.
Afraid not at that size with a big sensor. Maybe something from the Sony RX/Canon Poweshot lines might fit the bill?

You still need to fix all of those type errors, though. As we encode more information within our types, the effort to maintain them naturally tends to increase as well.

Your profile indicates that you work with Haskell. In Haskell, we often encode possible effects explicitly in types, while many other languages do not restrict effects to the same degree. This provides a degree of safety in Haskell that those other languages lack. However, it also means that if refactoring moves the place where some effect can be caused, that may require a change to the types that propagates widely through the system.

For example, suppose we have a system where the high level code is wrapped in some logging monad. We decide to refactor so that some of the log writes move to a much lower level, perhaps so we can then add more detailed information to the logged messages. At this point, the entire call chain down to where the logging will be done is infected by the logging monad. This is perfectly correct in terms of type safety. It is also work that would be entirely unnecessary if we were performing an equivalent refactoring in a language that did not encode so much information in its types in the first place.
From the article you link:

> Merely charging different prices to different customers is not illegal, when there is no intent to harm competitors.

So if CVS uses price discrimination to screw-over Walgreens, it's illegal, but if they use it to screw over their customers, it's not (with the expectation that if they screw over their customers, the customers will go to Walgreens).
A bit skeptical. The biggest advantage for me is the burst rate and live histogram, but the newest Canon 90D, released last year, matches mirrorless FPS and also has a live histogram. The weight's advantage isn't as big of a deal as a lot of people have claimed because many of us have to deal with big lenses anyway.

The low/night light features are cool, I think, but my "mentor" who's a professional night photographer, thinks it's all a gimmick. It definitely lowers the bar for entry in this field for people who don't do a lot of night photography. The vast majority of my shots are under full sunlight or heavy stadium lights, so it's not that big of an advantage for me.

There's going to come a time where mirrorless will reach beyond what mirrors can do, but I don't think we're there yet.
I'd also like to see some evidence of this. But my understanding is that the purported mechanism is some sort of infrared beacon shone into the camera (like the eurion constellation, but live); it's something that could be activated without Apple or Google's involvement in the moment.

Obviously lame excuse by the PD as the delete button can do the same.
> Cell phone pictures to me are the equivalent today of what disposable camera photos used to be.

I think a closer comparison is to point-and-shoot cameras (ones without interchangeable lenses). I have a couple of those hanging around, but really haven't used them in years, and just use my cell phone instead. The lens is undoubtedly better than any cell phone, and I'm sure the current ones are better overall, but the trade-off just doesn't seem there: how much better is the picture really?

If I'm going to take the burden of carrying something that doesn't fit (or barely fits) in my pocket, it might as well be a DSLR/mirrorless so at least it's a dramatic improvement in quality.

Be better at working as an organisation and not rely on the action of a single cop.
Change laws procedures so that persons of interest can still have hope and that being arrested does not equal to the end of life as they know it. Strangely enough, fair process and trials and forgiving laws help make it less likely that people being arrested attempt desperate violent actions against the cops. In return, it makes the cops job easier and reduces their likeliness to use excessive force.

Again, the probability of getting caught is the most effective deterrent to criminal activity , not the severity of the punishment.

Assuming all of this is true (which I believe), it exasperates me that this is yet another indicator that raising the baseline education for all should be the most important priority for any country that is seeking economic growth.
What people say in debates is irrelevant. The only thing that matters are their actions. People keep falling into the trap of listening to the speeches, but ignoring the actual policies, policy implementation details, and the whole bureaucratic side of things. People are hyper focused on the TV version of reality, and completely ignore the day to day humdrum action.

I think part of the problem today is the TV-ification of politics. For example, Trump is obsessed with "ratings" and Twitter likes, rather than actually doing anything meaningful. What's incredibly bizarre is how many other politicians have started copying him by focusing on grandstanding, Twitter likes, and getting more news airtime, rather than actually getting work done.
No, that's the reason why politicians don't -- or at least shouldn't -- pretend to be professionals.
The opposite thing happened to me. I work as a lawyer and I was advised to get nicer suits and grow a beard to look older. I was told that my work was good, but appearances mattered. They said that I wasn't looking trustworthy enough to be presented to clients.
That's a very misleading take. First of all PREDICT was shut down in October, so if it was going to help, then it certainly had a chance.

But it was shut down because it failed, not to save money “But things got complicated in the last two years, and by January, Predict was essentially collapsed into hibernation.”

Maybe I'm misreading the quote, but it sounds like there was some sort of problem with the program, and they just gave up and shut it down.

Or the clear of forests, the rapidly decreasing biodiversity, diseases that are spreading to kill bats, trees, and bees. The rapidly increasing contamination of the ocean with plastics. The politicization of environmentalism has narrowed the focus so much. We need environmental protection on a massive scale.
Don't get me wrong, I understand police violence is a continuing problem, but that doesn't make this instance of it less shocking.

As a meta note, I've noticed that people often respond to comments saying "I'm shocked with a recent occurrence of X" with "X has always been bad and been happening for a long time" and in my opinion that response only serves to desensitize people to the bad thing.

No but iirc the terms from @tobi were that the feature needs to be cross-platform and merged into the main OBS codebase.

1. intended output and quality of the photo
2. the joy the physical act of using a camera provides
3. you want to take photos while disconnected

these are basically the only three reasons to buy a camera beyond the smartphone. Like most things in life unless its a job, the trade offs are personal.

(not op) One minor reason I'm considering stopping putting virtual envs inside the project is that not all tools I use support ignore files, and it's one extra thing to remember to ignore in each individual project. Putting venv/ in my .gitignore is one thing, but making sure grep, ag, tree, fzf, etc. all ignore it is an additional step. Granted, I believe some of those tools do respect .gitignore.

I just don't see a benefit to having the virtualenv inside the project directory.

While perhaps not so great from a defensive programming perspective, Mac OS feels like a different case since it's only designed to run on specific hardware.

Modern Mac OS also has all sorts of "bugs" that Hackintosh users need to patch or otherwise work around. Since we're doing something that was never intended, I don't really see these as flaws in the OS.

My point is more that this seems like a feature that no phone company would install without a law requiring it, if it's really in there, this feature would be really, really dangerous because any criminal could then just use the same equipment to disable cameras. It's also pretty bad to be depriving people of the use of their property against the 4th amendment and probably the 1st as well considering it's limiting photography and free expression as such.

Welcome to the life of a conservative in tech. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of us, but I have no way of knowing for sure, because it's clear that speaking about our political beliefs can lead to negative repercussions in our career. Good luck getting a job or investment after you've publicly posted anything in line with Trump's agenda (which, btw, about 60 million people seem to at least partly agree with).

The result is that the only conservatives remaining in public view are the loony ones who can afford to speak out without risking their job, don't care about their corporate reputation, or have to post from pseudonyms. People on the left see this and conclude that everyone on the right is an extremist, further assuring them that their leftist views are "on the right side of history."

There should be a term for "liberal privilege" when you're able to post your political views under your real name.

When I visited the SRI and NASA UI design groups in the early 90ies, any feedback if touch, force, audio even smell was being considered and implemented. Touch and force feedback was extremely advanced there, nothing ever made it outside. They even had early versions of Google Glass, so that they can work hands free.

But those SpaceX touchscreens are very bad UI design. Would not make it in any car or plane. Those buttons need to be physical. Remind me on the Apple touch bar, when you need to use it at 3g.
