This was a series of posts I'd created in 2016 to try and illustrate to people how important Python is to the film industry by focusing on animation and VFX pipelines, and showing the kinds of projects a developer can contribute to a film. These have been updated so I figured it was worth sharing again.

Updates:
* Added some more projects that I'd written up a while ago but not posted about
* Updated the content in the old posts to be a little more detailed
* Added more behind the scenes videos
* Moved to a new site (using Gatsby instead of WordPress)
Indeed, there are legal obligations and such but, perhaps, the problem is that not all people assume social platforms are neutral in the way they do other media outlets?

Maybe because one can have extreme political views and easily find other like-minded people then one can become somewhat blinkered? If one's platform of choice is also stifling some content there is still enough of other stuff around that one may not notice?

12-year-old girl cracks Netflix password
The younger daughter of Irish-Canadian author Ed O'Loughlin (Ed O'Loughlin) hastily hacked the Netflix parental code and surprised everyone by opening it. When father Ed came to know the trick of opening, he was also surprised as well. Many streaming channelers offer the option of using a PIN to lock in order to protect children.

O'Laughlin also put a PIN code in Netflix to protect her from her daughter. His daughter had to watch 'The Umbrella Academy' on Netflix. For this, he did not ask for permission from the parents, but instead adopted a "genius" way to guess the lock code.

The father told on Twitter on Sunday how his daughter hacked the code. He just used a little succulent and some clever thinking. O'Laughlin wrote, 'My little daughter hacked our Netflix parental code. He put light grease on the remote and got me to input the code. ' Laughlin said that his move affected him as well as frightened him.

In a follow tweet, he told that his 12-year-old daughter did this because she had to watch 'The Umbrella Academy'.
They released those "Brain Flakes" in 2014 and had copycats within a year. But I remember toys that look exactly like that from much longer ago. Aren't Brain Flakes the copycats here?
> Are they holding back the metadata in order to catch Biden in a trap denying the authenticity of the emails?

Bingo. Because the only thing better then evidence of corruption is disprovable denials of the evidence of corruption.

I'm guessing that's why Biden has not had a formal press event since this story came out. It's also why he's literally hiding at home until after the final debate.

Anything he says will be quoted back to him.
I had a period of my life where I could work any hours I pleased with no social obligations so I tried not having any alarms, just went free form. And I basically ended up having a 28 hour "day" and spun round and round the clock. Not ideal long term(!)

The most comfortable configuration was going to sleep about 6am and waking about 1-2pm, but once I started having kids, etc. that obviously wasn't going to be viable so now I get up at 9am which is tolerable but not super productive.
Python developers keep forgetting about that one because it's so widely required I believe it should really be in python standard library by now.
This link helped me understand it better. Basically they introduce an extremely redundant orthogonal code and since noise is somewhat random if your code is long enough you can reconstruct the signal despite the noise.

I mean, it's… true? My own (very highly upvoted) comment on the main thread of this article contains the text "I only took four lectures of General Relativity before I gave it up in favour of computability and logic", which is helpful context for anyone who reads it, because it lets the reader know in a fairly objective sense that I am familiar with some of the concepts of GR but am unlikely to understand everything in detail. You can't know whether someone on the Internet knows what they're talking about, but they can give you some of their context to help you decide. Admittedly "a good school" is not the most useful context, but it's better than no context.
I think expecting a $40 piece of furniture to survive multiple moves is unrealistic on your part. You get what you pay for, and $40 for a desk that makes it through even 2 residences is $20/location for a desk which is ridiculously cheap.

I second that. Browser distinction between web apps and web pages is an awesome idea. I think the hard part is preventing users from learning to always click 'yes' to web-app level permissions just because the page instructs the browser to do so. I don't know the solution to this.

I would say I have mixed feelings about kiwi crates. The continual freshness of ideas is definitely appealing especially during pandemic. The durability of the toys is not ideal. I also recognize that they can't produce high quality toys at low cost on a SAAS model. I do think they are making some engaging content for my kids. I don't like overwhelming amount of toys at the house so we had to kill off our sub.

> In terms of implementation, though, it is far from simple. Lambda calculus has variables, which introduce huge complexity into the interpreter

Lambda calculus allows for a surprisingly simple self-interpreter [1]. Here is one, written with De Bruijn indices:

(λ 1 1)(λ λ λ 1(λ λ λ λ 3(λ 5(3(λ 2(3(λ λ 3(λ 1 2 3)))(4(λ 4(λ 3 1(2 1)))))) (1(2(λ 1 2))(λ 4(λ 4(λ 2(1 4)))5))))(3 3)2)(λ 1((λ 1 1)(λ 1 1)))

This includes a tokenizer/parser of (binary encoded) lambda calculus terms.

Cows yes, bulls no. There are exceptions but generally it's not legal to leave bulls alone without cows in fields that have public rights of way. We walk through fields with cows all the time, it can sometimes be uncomfortable if they come close but I've never felt in danger except when there was a bull. Two walkers have been killed by cows this year, although that's not typical.

Euler's formula got me through a bunch of EE classes back when I was a student. I was pathologically unable to commit trig identities to memory, possibly due to laziness. So instead I learned Euler's formula and worked everything through in complex numbers until I was ready to give an answer. I never got marked down for it.
I wouldn’t be concerned about scale. If we convert every lawn to farm land, we would get three times the amount of current farm land on top. Say we replace it completely, we could still farm 3 times less efficient and would have the same amount of yield.

I suspect the opposite. The managers will start to panic and then micromanage everything, have crisis meetings etc. This will slow it down even further.
The only real solution to this problem is better long term estimates! The thing is that all estimates are partly BS because we haven't figured out how to predict the future yet. So the solution above is that the supervisor got a BS estimate and they are pushing back with BS progress. There probably is no other way.

My main grudge is that NFS authorization is pointless without external crutches like IP-address whitelisting.

Maybe it's because I'm used to password-based or key-based authentication methods and when I had met NFS I became scared of that host-based authentication.

Of course I agree that IP whitelisting is a good practice that solves and prevents many issues.
This is a political problem and not a technical one. The UK already uses STV, D'Hondt, and AMS in various elections. There is no campaign to change those to FPTP. The reason we can't change the Westminster voting system is exactly the reason we want it: because it would disrupt the existing party alignment and power structure. Same reason we still have an entirely unelected legislative house.

The same, presumably, applies in America. Parties are willing to sabotage elections altogether there rather than risk making them fairer.
Of course the pleasurable experiences are part of it. But the lasting changes are from exposing your brain to the new unknown landscape, meeting new people, trying new things. It gets you out of the same mental rut. Routine is a healthy part of life, but so is travel/new pathways.

Is it better to somehow repurpose the areas of cropland in Sub Saharan Africa that are currently growing maize to optimize for emission reduction?

Then the answer is no, not any time soon at least. Plenty of other land is available.

- SSA has ~ 1.25B hectares of agricultural land.[0]

- The total harvested area under maize in Africa was around 38.7 million hectares in 2018.[1]

- Less than %10 of the Guinea Savannah region (a region where crops much more lucrative than maize can be grown, ~600M hectares) was farmed as of 2009.[2]

Currently YES. However all manufactures are full-throttle on R&D. Federal Income-Tax-Rebate already in. Few states (Ex: Delhi) already started rolling out incentives for EV purchases by reducing/removing the registration charges.

And right at the top, 2 years back, federal Transport Minister announced right in front of all car manufacturers event, to which he was invited for keynote "I am not going to allow you to sell Petrol Cars after 2030". Obviously no governemnt can last that long, but still.

Audience was like ...... aaaawwwwoooo, oh man, what do we do with all our current investment! Really gave the manufacture clear message to kick-start R&D NOW. And things have definitely started moving.

My personal guess is at least 50% sales-market-share by 2025. Domestically manufactured EVs.
> Can someone with knowledge on the subject help clarify?

Installing apps silently (as an app store) requires so-called "Privileged" Android premissions currently. Privileged permissions are only attainable by apps that are preinstalled on Android distribution - which means that Samsung/Huawei/other stores can get it, but it's not available for apps that aren't part of original OS distribution.

So the playing field isn't level for ALL the potential Stores - Google gives these privileges to the OEMs that built the devices and them only.

Android 12 will add a mechanism to get these capabilities but it's currently not clear how (whether it's a permission on first run, or whether it's going to be available to a single app like the SMS related permissions).
How much is your SaaS company worth?
Some orgs (edus and non-profits) only have 10k to 20k per year for their entire bug bounty program. So when setting the price of RCE, we should keep that in mind. Not all of us have tons of cash. Recognition and resume building is a huge value as well.

IIRC, snowboards are a counter-example to this article. The design was never patented, and the original company did pretty well on the principle that 'a rising tide floats all boats'.

Edit. The article makes me think of the different (extreme) failure modes of companies run by experts in different sub-departments. An accountant might run the company into the ground with bean-counting, a marketer might sell! sell! sell! what they've got without regard for quality, an engineer might forget to find customers, and apparently a lawyer might protect their idea so far as to prevent anyone else from helping popularize the idea. Everyone thinks their own tool is perfect for all the nails...
> > And multiple competing and interoperable implementations should be seen as a good thing in my opinion.

> How is that a good thing? We all understand and agree how IPv4 and IPv6 works (mostly), and how HTTP works, and how (mostly) the networking layer works.

And each platform has its own implementation. The specification is the same, the implementation is different in each case.

It's not the same TCP stack in Windows as it is on a Mac. There are multiple TCP implementations that exist for Linux. Each browser implements it's own HTTP stack.

> Introducing more competing standards

The GP isn't suggesting there should be more competing standards, the GP is suggesting there should be more competing implementations of the same standard.

> have you seen USB lately

USB is a mess. I don't think anyone will disagree with what a fustercluck USB-C + USB3 are.

> Oh the Raspberry PI screwed up their type-c implementation?

Raspi foundation screwed up in the reading of the spec, implemented an error, identified the error, and have resolved it. The implication in the comment is that people cannot be trusted to perform their own implementations of standards, and need to acquire implementations from the one true source. If that were the reality, the cost of the RPi4 would probably be higher.

> Oh, that USB-C cable bricked your Nintendo Switch?

This is particularly tragic. The Nintendo Switch doesn't have a USB-C port. It has a port that is dangerously similar to USB-C. 100% on Nintendo for doing this, and absolutely not the fault of the consumer who sees a port that looks like, and generally works with, USB-C, but is not. Nintendo absolutely should have done better here.

How can boomers simultaneously be sitting on all the wealth and ‘not have saved’ enough?

This argument makes no sense.

As far as I can see, the boomers just expected there to be continued economic growth in good faith, since that is what they experienced and younger generations have found finding this isn’t true.

Why isn’t it true? Very little to do with boomers mentalities, and much more to do with how economic growth has shifted outside the US.

That is absolutely the result of US political decisions, but much more the fault of economists and politicians rather than “Boomers” as a whole.

If younger generations think they can improve their lot by draining ‘money’ from Boomers, we are going to have a different problem, since the value of anyone’s money is determined by the current health of the economy. Yes a few millennials will be able to displace a few boomers from their decaying houses, but we’ll still have a bunch of sick old people to take care of somehow and an unproductive economy.

There's no reason we have to make farm work unsafe or low-paying. It's a consequence of the state of agriculture a century ago, when we were constantly afraid of running out of food. We put into place a lot of systems to drive down the price of food and increase the quantity.

So yes, we should improve it. This is one suggestion for how to do so. It costs more money, but we no longer have to make price the #1 objective, not in a world where people are willing to spend $4 and up on a cup of coffee or pay a 50-100% premium for a dubious "organic" label (a term that has drifted very, very far from what it meant when Rodale coined it).

That makes more money available for farm labor, to improve safety and pay workers better. It would take only a small increase in costs to make a large increase in wages: they receive only a few percent of the final consumer cost of the product.
