Sorry, you probably need a "real" video card for video encode.

I really tried to make OBS work at 1080p on my 2015 MacBook Pro, but just about anything (even a simple flip the webcam output) causes my fan to spin to maximum and eventually the video lags behind.

The best thing I could do was get something like the Avaya HC020 Webcam. It does a lot of things like zoom, flip, color balance, etc. all in the camera so you're processing as little as possible. At that point, I think I got 720p reliable, but not 1080p. However, my fan was still going full blast.

Eventually, I just gave up and built a Windows 10 desktop machine solely for video. It works great and I don't have a jet engine powering up next to my face when I do video.

Not really. https://getintra.org/ and its forks work just fine in bypassing SNI based censorship in India and do not require a VPN.

WebKit isn’t proprietary. Ultralight, the thing I linked to, is a fork of it.

This is such a pet peeve of mine. 'Processed' is not a classification: food is made up of molecules (chemicals), please describe it on those terms[0] /end rant.

If you eat deli meat and hotdogs all day every day it will cause problems and probably cancer.
> 2. It makes no sense to invest in development of only-for-Rust GUI libraries. Just use in Rust something ready that has stable plain-C ABI. And so people from C/C++, Delphi can use it too. That would be more robust on the long run.

Disagree. Anything that uses a C ABI has to keep track of ownership externally, and that tends to be error-prone; you end up with excessive copying, leaks, or both. And this is a particularly thorny problem for GUIs because, as you say, ownership of GUI objects can be complicated. So it makes a lot of sense to have a Rust-specific GUI library that leverages Rust's ownership-tracking capabilities to make this easier.
To be fully honest, I'm not so different -- I personally feel that I'm a woman 'cause that's the body I was born into and that's how I'm treated, and since I have no desire to transition, it's the hand I've been dealt so here we are. It does not have intrinsic meaning, probably because it's the water I swim in. In addition, I'm not honestly that interested in the feelings of most other people, cis or trans.

But I still feel you're making up conflict when you have this charge that trans people are telling you how you need to experience yourself. It seems awfully self-centered.

Last, I have particular feelings about "people who menstruate" etc because I live with a physician who gets dinged on quality metrics when he can't perform a prostate check on a person without a prostate or a Pap smear on a person without a cervix. As a math person who is pretty literal, my opinion is that we should be clear about the salient characteristic. You want to do something anatomical? Be clear about it, and I'll tell you if I have the requisite anatomy. You want to shop for curtains for your male partner because women born women automatically have better interior decorating sense? Be clear about that, and I can demonstrate you're wrong. Tell me I'm wrong about a math proof or my perception of politics because hormones? I'll show you what female aggression looks like. I don't like folks telling me what I am or what I think because of my hormones, and your last sentences in the second to last paragraph indicate you might do that to me.
You don't see warnings on every item because nobody has bothered to do the stupid tests yet.

Anything will "cause cancer" if your idea of causality is an observation of cancer in a small-N, high dose uncontrolled study in inbred rodents. Prop 65 doesn't bother to incorporate basic toxicology - dose and exposure need not be considered.

If you drink coffee, you should know that has acrylamide in it. If you regularly consume 100,000x the dose from a cup of coffee, then you'll be at risk of developing cancer. But, your coffee shop needs to display a Prop 65 warning because CA's legislative warriors encouraging the toxicological equivalent of denying evolution; denying that the dose makes the poison.
Quite interesting to see how the word "algorithm" seems to be changing over time from a straightforward mathematical or CS "series of steps to solve a problem" to a general byword for any sort of automated reasoning, especially ones with a more malevolent undertone.

I'm actually kind of struggling to come up with a concise definition in the new popular usage.
I play piano and sing. When I wanted to start streaming, I went from opening OBS for the first time to having a livestream to youtube, complete with audio from my interface synced to my webcam, in about 5 minutes. Just and incredible piece of software. I'm gonna drop a few bucks Everytime I stream now.

Also, shout out to obs.ninja, which let me cast my chromebook to the stream for my little jazz theory lecture/ramblings.

>Celery powder (sorry, apparently I mixed up the salt and the powder) is concentrated.

This is still not correct. According to a google search celery naturally contains high levels of nitrate. They harvest the juice and use bacterial culture to convert it to nitrites for use in curing.
Many years ago, before I discovered fish, I tried the loved by many zsh shell, but found myself spending too much time messing with the configs to get it how i wanted.
On my quest to find something better and avoid coding my own, I discovered fish.
fish is easily one of my all time favorite linux cheats to increase productivity, without spending hours tweaking configs.
It is very usable out of the box, and includes a web-ui mode to make easy basic customization stuff like theme and PS1 var.
Finding/re-using command history is a breeze, you can

history -c curl # Return history that contains (-c) the word 'curl'

It's one of the first pieces of software I install to new Linux desktops.
I still prefer to keep my servers bare, thus I use the default bash shell there.
So so cool ! And it goes to show how poorly probabilities and statistics are usually taught, it's such a waste. I'm working on a non profit project aiming in parts to aggregate this kind of pedagogical tools into a collaborative learning map and serving it in a personalised way: https://sci-map.org. Early phases still, but if people are interested to contribute please hit me up!
> Nowadays native apps on Mac are dead.

I know you’re saying that in a subjective way, and definitely the percentage of non-Cocoa apps have gone up, but I’m not sure if they’re dead. In fact, I feel that they are thriving once again in 2020 — a lot of indie devs that care about making Mac-assed Mac apps[0] are present and are releasing great apps and replacing ones that were filled with Electron.

Some examples that pop up in my mind: NetNewsWire 5[1] (an RSS feed reader), Shrungs[2] (a Cocoa Slack client), MimeStream[3] (a Gmail email reader), Chime[4] (a Go IDE that’s entirely Cocoa! I seriously considered learning Go because of this app), ProxyMan[5], and I can go on and on...

My feeling is that Electron got a bit of traction in like 2014~6 but people started to realize they really do like Cocoa better.

Just a follow-up, that Trump not only refused to condemn white supremacy during the debate tonight, he told Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by."
Rust has affine types (can be used no more than once), but not linear types (must be used exactly once). Linear types would be a nice feature for rust, and there's been some discussion about how to add them, but as far as I know there hasn't been any real progress there.

Affine types in Rust are anything with move semantics; for example you can create a method that consumes itself like this:

impl A {
fn use(&mut self) {
// takes a mutable reference to self, so it
// can be used again later
}

fn consume(self) {
// moves self into this function, which means
// it cannot be used again
}
}
... laws that protect minors as young as 14 from being coerced into sexual relationships with adults up to age 23... laws that limit corporate access to public water sources when the state is in perpetual drought... Oops. Those suggestions went right out the window. And into one of those 90% of fires that are man-made. Maybe someone will come by with a 24-pack of plastic water bottles we can dump on the fire, since pulling from the hose will put us over our government-mandated per-person use restrictions and cost us hundreds in fines... or even jail time!
I couldn't care less about the footprint. Every time you see a pile of trash on the side of the road, in a river, on a branch, it will 9/10 times involve a ripped up plastic bag caught on something sharp. These things are tumble weeds in urban areas. It's a serious source of litter that is nonexistent if you have a bag you need to use next time.
I've seen these warnings on the menu at Hobee's and no one could tell me what ingredient or dish was bring referred to. I've seen these warnings all over the rental car facility at Mineral San Jose Airport, especially the elevators. But you can't see them until you're in them. It's not hyperbole - these warnings are just slapped on all sorts of general stuff just to cover someone's ass.
OBS Studio is a full rewrite of OBS, and the old version was renamed to Classic to avoid confusion. It's been deprecated for many years now, and is no longer maintained. There is no real reason to use it anymore. If I had to guess the issue here, you're on a laptop with two GPUs and OBS Studio is running on a different GPU than OBS Classic is, which is why you're running in to issues. We'd need a log file to know for sure, but it's likely a simple fix (which you can stop by our Discord or forums with and we can take a closer look, feel free to ping me @fenrir in either location).

If you'd rather do your own testing, here's a starting point for my guess as to the issue: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Laptop-GPU-Selection-Windows-10
What information are you getting?

If there's no mention of dose and the warning is based on substandard, uncontrolled evidence, what are you really learning? That if you repeat a small-N "experiment" enough times with the toxin of our choice, some rodent will develop cancer?
> For both H1Bs and researchers, labor import should include stipulations about minimum salary.

What you are asking for already exists for H-1B's!

To get H-1B you have to first file an LCA (Labor Condition Application) with DoL (Department of Labor) to get approval for the specific salary that'll be paid.

There is a govt database that maps job, skill level and location to a salary. The actual salary has to exceed both the one from the database, and also that for similar workers in the same company.

It would be a valid opinion to say the salary requirements should be increased. But saying there is no minimum salary enforcement for H-1B salaries is blatantly wrong.
I did this! I killed it and I didn't mean to.

Ten (10) days ago, I filed an issue in the iodide project: "Compatibility with 'percent' notebook format"
https://github.com/iodide-project/iodide/issues/2942

And then six (6) days ago, I added this comment to that issue: https://github.com/iodide-project/iodide/issues/2942#issueco...

And now it's almost dead, and I didn't mean to kill it.

But I also suggested that it would be great if conda-forge had a WASM build target:

- "Consider moving CPython patches upstream" https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide/issues/635#issueco...

For students, being able to go to a URL and have a notebook interface with the SciPy stack preinstalled without needing to have an organization manage shell accounts and/or e.g. JupyterHub for every student should be worth the necessary budget allocation. Their local machines have plenty of CPU, storage, and memory for all but big data workloads.

Iodide is/was really cool. Pyiodide (much of the SciPy stack compiled to WASM) is also a great idea.

Jyve with latest JupyterLab, nbgrader, and configurable cloud storage could also solve.
There's no such thing as structured programming, at the assembly level it always just compiles down to conditional jumps. There's no such thing as a digital circuit, because real-world voltages are always analogue. Etc.

Worth noting that processed meat here[1]:

So this isn't just hot dogs, Spam and the like being targeted. Makes me wonder what cancer rates looked like in times long before refrigeration was commoditized.

TBH, Prop 65 in practice confuses me. For example, I have a jar of pickled red ginger in the fridge that I use for kimbap and such with a Prop 65 warning. Listed ingredients are (in order):

GINGER

CITRIC ACID

I could see this as a Parks and Rec episode. Well intended politician wants to add label warning of dangerous thing. Dumb colleagues, constituents, lobbyists add items of their choice to the board. Chris Pratt suggests something obviously false. Nick Offerman suggests that the government causes cancer. Conclusion is to label everything as cancer causing and everyone says "well, technically we succeeded", orders a drink to celebrate, and bartender reminds them that drinks cause cancer and everybody sighs.

Boom. Full episode right there.
I'm a religious person for utilitarian reasons and read my Bible weekly and go to church accordingly.

But a whole lot of teen suicide and abortion is due to haters hating (I mean Christians being dogmatic) -- it's pretty well proven that coercive religious dogma is bad for mental health, as well as in the US divorce and abortion rates. The pressure to keep up appearances and lie about who you are and your actual life is not the bit that leads to a happy and cohesive society.

This is a common misunderstanding of dual flush toilets. I don't know if you missed it, but the article was concerned with them leaking as opposed to their designed operation, which in fact does save water.

They "work" because the most common form of evacuation for humans is urination. And that is easily cleared with a lower volume of water. The math is that even if you have to flush three times after you poop to get everything gone, you've saved water because most of the time you only peed and that took less water than it did before. The math checks out.

That said, washing is a different story. That is because washing is a chemical process, not a mechanical one. Regulation has simultaneously cut phosphates[1] (EDIT: per wikipedia the phosphates chelates the water which allows the detergent to be more effective) and reduced water (which is required for chemical action) and as a result the effectiveness of washing units (dishwashers and clothes washers) has in some cases stopped being effective.

Regulation itself has become less effective (in my opinion) because it continues to attack the symptom and not the problem. For example, it would have been just as effective to upgrade waste water treatment plants to remove all phosphates rather than ban them from detergents, however that solution creates a tax burden which can be resisted by a population whereas restricting the sale of products the consumer wants cannot be countered by the consumers directly.

You can do just about anything with voicemeter banana and OBS. I was hesitant to install voicemeter since I've been burned by that kind of always-on low level virtual driver software before, but it is so stable and light that I forget it's even running. I needed a fairly complex set up for my D&D streaming:

- send all desktop audio except Zoom output into Ableton live for post processing.

- send desktop audio (sans zoom) from Ableton to twitch via OBS for background music and sound effects.

- send ASIO device input (microphone) from Ableton to zoom after voice FX.

- send zoom output to monitoring headphones only, so I can hear my players, but they can't hear themselves talking over the soundtrack.

This was trivial up set up with voicemeter, and it even has a pretty amazing ASIO virtual insert device that lets you use it like a patch bay for Ableton with sub 10ms latency. It's also donationware so you don't have to pay to try it. The caveat is, while the configuration I use is indeed trivial to set up, the virtual insert device has a very steep learning curve and it took me several days to get it nailed down (though it's simple enough to communicate with two screenshots one you know what you're doing). I'm really impressed by voicemeter and highly recommend it to anyone that dabbles in streaming or video production.
I can see that happening. For example he could've been mentally stuck in a "Australian aborigine" language mode, and experienced some sort of "cat got his tongue" situation where he temporarily couldn't even think or summon english to speak with. So until they started interacting and he was able to wake up those neural pathways then it would come back. So he probably somewhat felt like he was re-learning the language at an accelerated pace since he already had the neural wiring for english.

Sure, I don't want to embarrass people. We should try to accommodate people's feelings.

But I don't think it's the strong argument in favour of privacy that we want to make, because:

1. We do give people privacy in the bathroom. The debate is over the data social media companies collect. If people aren't generally embarrassed that Facebook collects data about what they post on Facebook, how does it relate to being embarrassed to be seen on the toilet?

2. Do we always have to accommodate irrational feelings? What about people who are easily offended by things that things that most would consider non-offensive? Is it immoral for a child to dress as a clown on halloween given that some people have coulrophobia? If you're arguing with someone who believes law enforcement should have access to people's social media and you bring up that stuff posted on social media could be embarrassing, the obvious response is, "Well, too bad. Investigating crimes is more important."

Yup. I'd add public sector work to that list (mostly because it's chronically understaffed and heavily siloed so you have to fill in a lot of roles).

OK, thanks for the education. That makes sense. Didn't know that. I do not live in CA.

But where should we draw the line and balance the scales of helping or promoting human health (including education, which can save lives), restricting businesses who don't care about human health, and allowing citizens to have the freedom to be as unhealthy as they want (which I'll agree should be a human right)?

With cigarettes, the most alarming label messaging doesn't seem to stop its most determined users from enjoying them. Was a fierce cultural war fought against that regulation? IIRC, yes. (From a documentary.)

One factor here seems to be a war for freedom of diet and lifestyle, extending to the desire to not even have to see messages that tell you your lifestyle may be unhealthy for you (or your children), even if the science is clear.
