> What did Resolve support say when you contacted them about this reproducible issue?

I was never able to get an answer from support.

The only way to get support is to make a public forum post but they protect the forum by not allowing anyone to post without first getting whitelisted by a moderator.

I spent over an hour writing a post, adding video links to DropBox, a full list of steps, settings, everything.

Except I found out I wasn't able to add URLs in the post because my account was brand new so I had to remove the only important part of my post (the video proof of the artifacts and calling them out with exact time stamp references).

Also it took multiple days for my original post to get whitelisted and their forum sorts posts by date, but it doesn't treat "moderated_at" as a separate date so by the time my post was public on the forums it was already on like page 8 and got no replies.

So I asked them if I could bump my post and they said ok, but it took days for the moderator to whitelist the bumped post and the same problem happened again where I was nearly on page 10 before it was visible.

They also have no way to trial the paid version to see if the studio version's codec is better.

I spent honestly about 10-15 hours over a week trying to solve the issue by Googling everything and trying many different version combos with no luck.

I've never seen a company work so hard on treating potential paying customers so poorly. I'd still use the software if I could, but yeah, I have no way to even get in contact with support and after spending ~2 full working days on unsuccessfully solving the problem with no resolution in sight I gave up and stick with using Camtasia.
Unfortunately, his ultra-conviction and closed mindedness prevents me from enjoying this content. He has a very long rant on one of these or another series talking about how there’s no benefit to garbage collection, under any circumstances, in any way, ever. It’s a pretty mind boggling opinion frankly.

I spent years as a C++ programmer. Managing memory gives you power and control, at the cost of programmer time. In the same rant, he argued that the way that he manages memory imposes no extra overhead at all to the programmer as well.

This is a clear sign that he’s out of touch with reality. The point of garbage collection is to only focus on an algorithm directly, as if you were calculating it with math on paper. Do you allocate memory locations when introducing variables in a math equation? No - because reasoning about the variables abstractly takes much less effort than worrying about how to have a machine actually compute your algorithm. I’m not talking about the performance trade offs of garbage collectors at all. Of course there’s a performance hit, but it’s not for no reason. It’s for a very huge reason which is to allow a programmer to think about less with every single line of code that they write. That’s a very big value proposition.

This isn’t just a pet peeve over one rant. I’ve watched hours of his content. I think it’s much more toxic than it is helpful. Games are dominated by rendering complexity. If you are not building a video game, you generally don’t need 3D graphics and physical modeling. To think that solutions for that complexity say anything about software in the large is again, hugely out of touch.

Considering iSH has been using TestFlight for 1-2 years and Apple is fully aware of them doing so, I don’t exactly agree with you.
The US does not have concentration camps full of religious minorities. The US media is only lightly censored, as opposed to the fully censored Chinese media. The US has not implemented a social credit system to turn its own population into a secret police. The US doesn't cover up global pandemics and then "disappear" anyone who talks about the cover up. The US is not the worlds biggest jailer of journalists. The US is not a one-party system which has outlawed protests etc. The US does not execute mass-scale non-consensual organ-harvesting of religious minorities to fuel their organ tourism industry. You should be thankful that speaking against the US government won't get you kidnapped and tortured like it would in China. If this was China, your very comment could lead to your death.
This is one thing that I hate the most about IOS. I like the polished look and the usability. To be completely honest, I don't need to have a shell running on my phone. I'm not going to write a shell script to automate anything on the tiny screen of my iPhone 8. iSh is an emulator anyway! But, like many other curious users, I don't want to lose the ability to do it. Especially when the hardware is a lot more capable that what the OS supports. I understand that Apple does it for "security" purposes!! They should at least enable this on iPad OS. May be warn the users about the "perils" of "foreign code'! I've been using iSH since the TestFlight days. I played around and downloaded packages. Even downloaded Perl! Now that's gone. I can sideload it using Xcode, but not everyone has a Mac to do it.
IMHO that means that if the U.S. actually had a federal response, if, you know, the Trump administration was actually trying to use the federal government to help the country, that our numbers would be lower.

Which, considering the wealth and expertise of the United States, makes a sort of sense.

At least those other nations are actually making an effort, and not denying science and spreading false, destructive information.
Hi that's the newsletter I write and it's not an official thing. That passage is based on my personal experience of watching other projects that I deem reputable (i.e. Jai, Handmade Hero) and doing the very basic thing of looking at how they are doing compared to us.

Jonathan Blow is a very smart individual, in a sense that goes way past his programming ability (as exemplified by the fact that 2 out of the 3 talks of his that I link to in the newsletter are not about programming), that said he has approached the development of Jai in a diametrically opposite way compared to what Zig is doing.

We have a full-fledged OSS project with contributors, PRs, etc; while JB, while IIRC he plans to open-source the code eventually, does development in private and even got to the point of refusing to showcase new features he's adding because he doesn't want other projects to copy him.

Clearly there is a philosophical disagreement there between Zig and Jai, but, as I said earlier, I really think Jai is a valid project and as such I'm not dismissive of those disagreements.

On our side of the argument we have a constantly increasing number of contributors, so the point I was making in the newsletter is that it really means something, because, at least according to my perception from watching JB's streams, we're moving at a faster speed.

I've personally learned a lot watching Casey and John stream themselves coding (Casey also started a youtube channel on legal cases, which is another very interesting watch), but they're not perfect and in the specific case of developing in the open vs developing in a cave, I think I have a priviledged PoV where I can raise valid criticism.

Does everything we write on the internet have to be investor-friendly? Fuck I hope not.

Kate is one of these software that I follow with interest and would really like to use, but after years and years of Emacs I have a hard time in other text editors.

Are there any Kate users here? Have you used Kate for ever? If not what did you use before? What made you switch?
I'm not sure this is meaningfully different than what currently happens. Can you expand on this more? Currently we don't have paper trails. We don't have good ways to verify that our vote was counted and that it has the correct value to it. An immutable data structure helps solve this, especially if it is auditable.

I'm all for paper trails, and I think they are necessary, but our current system isn't exactly transparent either. Logistically this is impractical. We've always relied on a subset of people to tell us it is trustworthy. I.e. the volunteers that count. If you can have that and do cryptographic arithmetic so that anyone with a computer can verify the results, that's more transparent, not less.

I mean I think there's this idea that people counting physical ballots in a rushed and hectic environment has high accuracy. That sounds like a naive assumption to me. But what is that error? 0.5%? 1%? For the most party elections are not won by that margin and when they are a recount is issued (and low and behold, numbers change slightly. Proving that the counting is imperfect but good enough).

Yep, I had a manager I wasn't thrilled with early in my career, but I liked the work I was doing. Then one day I heard him yelling at someone in his office that I knew to be a good person & good worker. His precise words were "I'm the boss, if I want to shove my thumb up my ass & spin around I can do it and you can't say a thing"

And I thought to myself "Yep, I'm done here". Unfortunately I jumped ship too quickly and found myself in a job I hated, with a manger who (while not as vocally abusive) was just as bad.
They literally are proposing to kill the freedom to communicate and you say there is nothing to worry about?
It's a developing story, I will try to find some got article later. The funny thing is that it all started after one criminal (Marian Kocner) was arrested and his iPhone had the app Threema installed - an E2E encrypted chat. Fortunately for the investigators he had backups enabled and they could access the chat history in plain text. He was in direct contact with government officials including politicians, judges, and so on. And this helped to uncover an even bigger organized group. The whole communication leaked and everyone can read it. You can find passages where he asks to pull specific information from police database. I think maybe 30+ high ranked people are now waiting behind bars for the trial.
Without public pressure it is not going to happen. German politicians have been positive towards this move recently (althought without mentioning it is already in progress). Sadly politics think it is the easiest solution to counter torrorism.
To the extent encryption is a band-aid to help mitigate the real problems, it MIGHT be good. But unlike a bandaid, it might exacerbate the problem, since it allows criminals who would otherwise be foiled early to organize a horrendous act and then invariably someone (mob or government) blames the “type” of person (Muslim, Black, Mexican, whatever) and starts profiling innocent people with false positives, exacerbating a totally avoidable sectarian problem.

The biggest problem is when encryption is focused on to this extent and defended religiously. Groups of people start to believe in the ideological position that encryption is essential for human rights, and this sucks the political capital out of the room for developers and statespeople to work together to develop real solutions.

We see this in other areas — such as when we focus on helping manage health problems of already obese people in the USA when we should be focusing on the massive industries that put sugar, HFCS, aspartame and other things in food, genetically engineer corn to have sugar, factory farms that pump their animals with antibiotics and create superbugs etc.

Or how we focus on end users recycling plastic and banning plastic bags while putting zero pressure on the corporations producing the goods to switch to biodegradeable plastic. They are left free to externalize the cost to the environment because we don’t hold them accountable — precisely because we focus too much on fixing the problem further downstream. The root solutions would include a UBI funded by pigovian taxes.

Same with other “downstream fixes” such as getting more minorities represented in a particular field when they’re applying at 30 years old instead of fixing the systems that they are shaped by growing up...

What is common to all these disparate areas is that the root problem isnt fixed, because we keep diverting attention from it with misguided “downstream” mitigations. We create a groupthink and virtue signaling environment where lots of influential and conscientious people who could have been focused on the root problem instead spend all their money and energy on the premise that if only we did MORE downstream mitigation, it would somehow make things better. It delays the real solutions, perhaps for decades.
I don't like people conveying an impression that something is magical when its relatively every day stuff, that's all.
My start was ~91-92 in NL too, playing with a DTMF generator on payphones on the walk to/from school. We had more luck with the phones in hotel/museum foyers as they were usually not updated as often. I remember hanging out at the skate ramp near the Rijksmuseum and taking it in turns running over to the payphone near the entrance to try the latest tricks someone had passed on. Then a friend's dad got an internet connection and it changed our lives forever.
Kona is an SUV and even Leaf is quite large by European city standards.

If you are after something really small - Renault Zoe, Kia Niro and VW Up are small, but not super cheap yet.
And where is their civilization now? Oh yeah, it doesn’t exist.
Sometimes countries have a problem with something used domestically, but zero issue when the same is done exclusively for export.

I've also seen a lot of Chinese eBay sellers say they don't accept orders from China. Not sure what that's about.
This looks really neat but I unfortunately don't have the necessary background knowledge to understand what this is even visualizing. Is there a tutorial to help acquire the necessary math/background knowledge to be able to comprehend what's being modeled?

For example, what are "Power", "Alpha", "n", and "d"?

Also "Type I" and "Type II" errors? What's the intuition as to how these all relate each other?

Is there a blog post, chapter, that explains all of this? Or would this require significant learning i.e. a full semester course or a textbook.
"What is the ROI of...a well designed logo?" For me (a consumer), absolutely zero. What do I care what some company's logo is? I don't, and I also doubt that I recognize most of them.

Perhaps you've seen the images of fake pennys, like this: https://technicallyeclectic.com/video-best-practices-details.... If so, you know what I mean; you could show me a hundred logos, and I couldn't tell you which ones are real, much less which of those real ones belong to which company.

And yet many companies spend an inordinate amount of time trying to decide what the best logo is, and then a few years later they decide to "refresh" it, or "clean it up", or "give it a facelift." To which I say, waste of time.

This is not a realistic scenario, but even if it was there's a trivial workaround: sign up for a new account.

And at the end of the day, what made you buy that iDevice? Raw hardware? You can buy any old ARM tablet if that's what you want. You probably bought that iDevice because you want the secure device, with a full stack and ecosystem, which includes ongoing work from Apple to provide OS patches for security holes and OS bugs. I don't get the pearl-clutching over the limitations for a fundamentally secure computing appliance by design (which is a major selling point of the device in the first place).
Indeed, and I wonder if we place too much emphasis on leadership when most managers would benefit from just trying to be better managers. I think a really good manager is a joy to behold, even if they don't have a leadership bone in their body.
A day or two in the oven at low heat has fixed many similar situations for me.
For iPad as a thin client - Blink is great and allows remapping caps lock to escape. That's actually something you can do globally with the magic keyboard.

Upset that ish is being removed - as somebody who has had it since TestFlight came out. I was surprised they got approved for App Store, but once it was on there... seems crazy to have them removed.
>Pretty much everybody loses their life somehow.

Yeah that's called life.

>Today I don't let my kids ride in the back of pickup trucks, and I'm nervous about the lawn mower.

That's because you already infected with fear. It's not your Children's fault that you don't trust them with a lawn mower..it's you and probably your society that is the problem.

>Some dangers and some fears need to be met head on.

Yes like wear a helmet on a Motorbike, but you need to dig much deeper, that a society needs a metal detector in schools.

And again the World IS much safer today...but remember the more you have the more you fear loosing it...it's the perfect setup to give up your freedom because you think you "win" some safety.
Isn't this the situation when the hospitals are overloaded and there are a finite number of people that you can give beds?
You misunderstood. They said the current link is possibly obscurantist, not the German one.
People have been this since Apple first launched the iOS app store. It plays well on message boards. So far, it has done a terrible job of describing reality.

You cannot ban it unless you start deep inspection of people conversations. You can easily sneak public keys disguised as regular conversation and then encrypt messages offline and disguise as well.

some non-obvious negative effects of banning end-to-end encryption:

1. an individual loses his power against large corporations, most importantly, GOVERNMENTS. Large structures become corrupt over time and occasionally need to be demolished partially or fully because they stop serving their purpose but start serving their self-interest. Only an individual, not groups, as ultimate indivisible units is the last resort for all values that any civilisation is built on: starting from justice, democracy etc. Thus, e-2-e encryption empowers individuals (putting aside criminals that cane be considered as a necessary evil) that doesn't make groups in power happy. So, by shifting the power from individuals to groups, the first loose an ability to use their intrinsic, built by billions of years of evolution, judgements what is good and what is now, to keep the system in check and press a red button when needed to destroy a government (like Nazi) that went out of control or a corporation.

2. Introducing these kind of anti-individualistic laws creates a bad example for already corrupted and authoritarian countries lie Russia, China and others, that would use this as an justifications to toughen already draconian laws to control their citizens. Once they do loose a good example of freedom that is meant to exist in western countries, they would become corrupted even more, causing not only troubles, but potentially military confrontations that would cost way more than those relatively small issues caused by criminals.

Even just this simple example shows that stepping aside from principles for the sake of expedience may create unforeseen consequences that left governments (because all governments in europe are large and trying to become even larger) don't want to realise because of one simple reason: they have already transformed from serving their initial idea and purpose to being self-serving.
Well, logically thinking, if you were completely satisfied with the car except for Android Auto and owned the car ( really owned, not PCP or whatever where you actually owe money to the bank and the car is a collateral on that loan) would you sell it? If not then can you really count it as a reason? This word implies it's a sufficient condition, but I am not in UK and not even native English speaker, so I might be wrong here.

And just FYI - you don't have to hand over a leased car, at least in the US, you can pay it off and keep it.

I am very confused by your statement.

This app is only applicable in Kenya and was launched with the telecom there. And I'm not aware of any American company that doesn't let you pay with a check card and requires credit. It's just onerous to do bank transfers here because we have check cards. They are used like credit cards for online purchase but just deduct directly from your bank account.
>I don’t appreciate my country being held hostage to extortive tactics: “vote for my candidate—the other guy is a literal Nazi!”

As opposed to "vote for my candidate - Hillary is a literal blood drinking serial killing baby raping illuminati whore who will start World War 3!"

or "vote for my candidate - Joe Biden is a pedophile with extreme dementia, and we don't know exactly what his son is into but it's probably pretty awful?"

I mean, at least the people calling Trump racist can point to a large pile of circumstantial evidence to back it up. It's hard to believe that is "extortionate" and "holding the country hostage" but not Pizzagate, QAnon, and Stop the Steal vigilantes.

Alright, cool. So then you agree with that statement. Got it. Great. You are in agreement!

Furthermore, when you made this statement "Like I’m saying long live the backend job", it also is in agreement that there is definitely more than 0 backend lines required to solve something such as "if that ad-hoc GraphQL query requests extra fields", as that person originally stated.
