Would you simplify your ffmpeg advice for the less-programmerly among us?

I use ffmmpeg all the time on my M1 Max and if there are parameters that I should always be using, I would like to know :)
Hah, that is, perhaps, a perfect example of the article’s point!

“Conventional” might’ve been a better choice of word than “traditional”, or something else that better conveys the meaning of “in common usage today”, without the “in the olden days” baggage that comes with “traditional”

What is this mysterious art you speak of? /s
Not sure if you understand how public key cryptography works?

The artists says "this is my key" to their public key. Then they can use their key to sign things, and people can verify the signature because they can check that it belongs to the public key, which the artist has publicly announced.
You are paying this because you switched to one of the cheapest power delivery companies to safe money and they miscalculated shit.

My energy provider does not have this problem.

It's not only the greens who force electric cars btw. The last political party was not the green.

Otherwise I'm slight lost on what your point is you are trying to make on hn as a German on local power market?
Hey, in K&R C, 8 and 9 are valid octal digits. But these are decimal years based on Dionysius Exiguus's miscalculations.
It's becoming annoying to watch any netflix animes because the subtitles focus on the official translations instead of what's being said. After 15 years of watching anime, I can understand several expressions and sentence structures, and English translations are really lacking. English is a good international language because it's simple, not because it's subtle, and it shows.
I can structure the code cleanly, that's why I love functional programming. Althought I mostly use clojure not SML-like languages so I don't go overboard with currying. From my limited experience currying makes order of arguments matter A LOT, and then you have to refactor that often.

My problem is that I'm mostly writing games in my free time (the only time when I'm allowed to use functional languages), and writing games is mostly about quick iteration and testing many small changes. So previously I had the code to handle collisions only take potentially colliding objects as inputs and outputs. Now I want to add particle effects when things collide. Pass that particle system and return particles from the function.

Then I think - what if collisions cause the screen to "shake"? Again pass new data to the function. Then I decide it looks stupid and revert it.

Then I think - what if police reacted to collisions if they are near the police station? Again - pass some new data there.

I can do this, but it's a lot of refactoring. I'd prefer if I could just use a global variable and hit a button in IDE to refactor it to a nice functional code.
It's still a single cable, so all the features will necessarily be interconnected with each other.

Of course you could make an "extension standard" instead of a whole new version, but I don't see how that would make any difference except in formalities.
OK, in too much simplified version: you not being content with the state of things may not necessarily be your fault - it may be the things fault.

Of course you can change yourself, all problems are within you, they are created by your optimization function. Apocalypse is not a problem unless you don't want it to happen. Without people who don't make themself content with the state of things right now it's not a nice place to be. But without people who are not content and are trying to fix it it's not getting better.

Just to be too verbose because of sensitive topic: it may be you, it may be chemical imbalance, I'm not saying it's a happy pill and long story short if you haven't experienced happiness in a long time go see a doctor yada yada.

You can be happy during apocalypse when you are making progress towards ending it, you can not like things and accept it. I'm just making a case for unhappiness being the sane reaction in specific contexts.

It's really hard to have a meaningful discussion about this topic without being seen as a murderer while providing a decent information density. Even on HN.
Generics in C# is crazy good, both in writing and using them, all while the compiler checks the correctness especially if combined with constraints. I've tried "generics" in other languages but they all fall short compared with C#'s way. Between reflection, generics, polymorphism, dependency injection, you have a winning combo of code reuse. Can turn thousands of normal lines of code into a few hundred. I've surprised myself again again on how useful it can be, all without getting lost in the abstractness of it. The people at the dotnet team who carefully thought it through and implemented it deserves a ton of recognition for this.

They're still worth a lot. For one, mask mandates are going to encourage some people to wear non-cotton masks who would otherwise skip masks. For another, cotton masks are still better than nothing.

But I agree, we should statrt having stricter mandates.
Not sure what your point is. You've been arguing with me against something I don't understand this whole thread so let me make this clear: I (me, personally) want to build apps on open and unrestricted APIs. I don't know how or if this will happen. I don't claim it will change the world and I definitely don't think it involves blockchain.

Now, can you stop being obnoxious?
I don't know Apple products, but doesn't it sound a lot of like selinux? You explicitly tell the OS which resources can an app use and confine it in that.
Illegal content uploaded via my naive websocket implementation. I thought it was best to turn it off than fix while it was "hot".
That's outrageous indeed. Aging is increasing entropy, you will never reverse the chaos and disorder that builds up in your system. Trying to replace old parts with new parts becomes infinitely expensive especially compared to starting fresh, i.e. giving birth.
In an ideal world you would not wait for 2 hours for a bus.

For comparison, here is a video of a YAK-50 with an engine failure:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrR8pnMgMiE
Look at 3:33 into the video, about where he's about to ditch it.

It's easy to identify the Y shaped delta of the mountain ridges just 2 clicks north of the Manzana School Camp, with the plane travelling westwards. 34.8081872, -119.9438522.

Given the near service ceiling altitude the dude had plenty of opportunity to double back to eg 34.7683290, -120.1101663 . Not exactly sure how much gliding range it has, but can go to just over 60km/h before stalling, and can't be radically different from a Cessna which will do "1.5 nautical miles per 1,000 feet of altitude above ground level". The landing gear appears made for grass fields.

Of course, one might speculate, given lack of in-plane footage and everything else, he could also not have throttled the airplane and landed it normally instead of pulling this pathetic stunt. Ie it appears reasonable to assume that the entire thing is a complete fabrication.

Who carries a hip altimeter (a few frames of 4:03) and full parachute when flying, as well as covering every angle of the "emergency departure" with GoPros, not a single frame of the "emergency" instruments despite another GoPro in full view, freefalls for ages instead of taking their time to assess etc, then avoids several flat spots including flat riverbeds that were a great alternative to doubling back if completely panicking on basic arithmetics, only to land in dangerous bushes instead "for the views". And then complains of being so so thirsty whilst carrying the whole chute around in his "life and death" situation.

Look at the YouTube history, the guy's pathological prankster.

Lots of camping sites and such in the area, just look at the coords in your favourite map provider. It was reckless beyond belief.

Should I not be wrong with my analysis (having spent a few hours reviewing this), I hope he goes to prison for a very long time.
>Make NULL a library construct and let library authors compete on how to handle absent values.

What if they decide to take different approaches to it? then it's mess.
At least for atomic access, I still believe that using wrapper types that prevent non-atomic access are the better idea: e.g. https://github.com/julienschmidt/atom (or uber/atomic).

That already ensures safe access at dev / compile-time. One explicitly states on declaration that the variable is accessed atomically by using the wrapper type.
A linter could then simply check that sync/atomic isn't used directly anywhere.
Engine-rich exhaust can still provide thrust.

People like their idealised models of the world, but they're fundamentally still just idealised and models.

It's somewhat illuminating to learn that all abstractions are leaky.

For example, you can't reliably represent "sex" using a "bit" type in a database. It's not just "M" or "F". You can have "unknown" (of course), "known but not willing to say" (whatever), intersex of all sorts, transexuals, genetically XY but physiologically female, etc...

The world is complicated and messy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_gonadal_dysgenesis

Similarly, there's no clear demarcation between species in many cases.

There's no such thing as a "tree" either: https://eukaryotewritesblog.com/2021/05/02/theres-no-such-th...

I could go on and on.
> I don't think this is a generalization. In fact, it is the opposite of a generalization.

Maybe "generalization" is the wrong word, but it's still a way to carve out a niche, which was previously denied.

> The first statement doesn't imply the second.

True, but this leaves us with "where is the line?" as the crucial but unanswered question.

OP here. There were no scaling issues while this was getting hammered. PHP has native support for sockets, so can handle thousands of connections, no better or worse than any other language. The system buffers up incoming messages and your can read them in an infinite loop. Take a look at the code, and one day I'll put this back online.

One reference is “Free” by Chris Anderson, https://www.amazon.com/Free-Future-Radical-Chris-Anderson/dp...

DHH has written about abundance as part of his approach to Rails, https://world.hey.com/dhh/i-won-t-let-you-pay-me-for-my-open...

The “Post-scarcity economy” article on Wikipedia lists a number of references,

Generally, computing trends toward abundance. Computers are priced about the same, but do more each generation.
Sure, but we != the UN. Why spend energy building something so Iran (your example) can benefit?
1. A Medium article I read (sorry I couldn't find it) believed 'unproductive over difficult tasks' is because of not knowing where to start. And it's often hard to tell if it's the difficulty or the boredom stopping you from proceed. If this is the case, try to separate it into smaller tasks.

2. If your tasks are boring due to repetitiveness, looking for a way to automate it. It can be very satisfying teaching a computer with your profound experience and then watching it does your job for you.

3. Honor your tasks and aim for the stars. Taking writing docs for a software as an example, think about how to organize it so one can find the exact reference in a single search, how to keep it updated with least effort in the future. Great ideas and side projects can come from it, and you may have fun in them too.

Be kind to yourselves. Any of us can display some of these idiopathies. It takes a real asshole to get above one or two.

Why did I never think of completely rewriting my old Java monolith using a new framework to save 5.4 days of dev time?! Revolutionary!
You mean bare licenses? The author mentions many times there are other possibilities.
> MARTIN: If you're just joining us, we're talking about a new study that literally puts certain racist, homophobic and hate speech directed toward people with disabilities on the map. Our guest is Professor Monica Stephens, who led a team that literally put these terms on a map. Danielle, you wanted to say something.

> BELTON: Oh, I was going to say that it doesn't surprise me that you'd have a lot of racist tweets out of Illinois or Indiana. Being a native Midwesterner, there are certain regions and hot spots within these individual states that have a reputation for people being very vocal about minorities. And in the case of Illinois and Indiana, and even my home state of Missouri, you have a significant African-American population, not enough where we're the majority in any type of capacity, but just enough where people feel the need that they can be very expressive in how they want to complain about it.

> You know, you can't complain about something unless you actually see it on a daily basis. So it's like - sometimes I think maybe people use Twitter less in Montana, but there's a lot fewer minorities in Montana.

> MARTIN: Well, but that's an interesting question, though, because there's all kinds of conventional wisdom, which may or may not comport with fact, around how racial attitudes are formed. But one of sort of the truisms is that familiarity would lessen these kinds of attitudes because people would know somebody, right, they would know somebody of a different race, and therefore - or hopefully more than one person - and therefore that there would be less inclination toward these kinds of attitudes.

> BELTON: You'd think. That's true, but in the Midwest, a lot of these major cities are heavily segregated. So in many cases, familiarity has bred like contempt between people, because people are in their segregated enclaves, and they feel very strongly about people who are different from them.

There are studies proving GP's anecdotal views...
Come on, I read the original bitcoin paper upon its release xD I shortened my original post, but had explained that in the UK the Land-registry has started using a blockchain for record keeping. It worked well and is a good solution, but only whilst they stay as the sole writer. A distributed registry of home-ownership would have many risks, the largest being a sybil attack. Which Bitcoin is also liable to, where your coins are essentially protected in the trust of strangers all acting in their own interest. I can't really respect "trustless" given its an oxymoron really meaning "trust a mass of unknown people to act in their own interest".

Putting that aside, let's deal with the original quoted issue. I am privileged enough to be in a place where I trust my government, and by extension agree with their rules. The "trustless" setup of Bitcoin has meant that CP can be hosted comfortably within it (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47130268). A system with a liable entity would be able to solve this, Bitcoin cannot. I don't feel ignorant to think this is an issue?
I am trying very heard right now to not invoke the statement "learn to read", but fair enough, graphs are hard for some people.

In page 6, figure 2, bottom line, there are country codes. FR is the country code for France. From left is the 11th, which only represent the numbers from France. France and only France.
The screw hasn't been a thing for years, you prove ownership by sitting there for like 15 minutes pressing the power button when told :D

But it's a lot more than just "go ahead".

For stock users: enabling dev mode wipes storage and reinstalls CrOS, so trying to "attack" via dev mode a) won't give the attacker any data and b) will be extremely noticeable because the data is gone (and there will also be dev warning screens all the time unless they then make fully custom FW and CrOS that aren't secure but look exactly like stock)

For custom users: you can lock the debug interface with your password! Plus do your own vboot if you're concerned about.. ehh.. flashing over SPI directly bypassing the debugger (not easy on some devices) or somehow some vulnerability allowing internal flashing from the CPU.

So Chromebooks do have decent measures against physical access and allow for full CPU & EC firmware customization.
We’re just brainwashed to support a capitalist system rather than a communist one. We only don’t see the propaganda because we’ve been subjected to it since birth.

The fact that Elon Musk has fanboys should tell you all you need to know.

Is a presidential pardon considered a verdict and part of the justice system?

I've always assumed that it's merely removing the punishment (which is what the executive branch deals with), but has no influence on the legal status, i.e. if you're convicted of fraud, sent to prison and get a pardon, you're still a convicted fraudster, but you're released from prison.
Now that we have consumed so many oil & gas deposits, do we simply have too much carbon ? Could a space elevator start taking loads of carbon (in whatever state of matter) and dispersing them into space ? It would be a testbed for Venus, which most definitely has way too much carbon. Dispose of a few zillion tons and then terraforming becomes more realistic.
I thought you said Active Domain until I realized there are not just one AD

Disappointing.
> There are a few psychological constructs in our head that really tie deep into the mental pain

Indeed, one of those is the 'chemical imbalance' theory of depression, which in itself can lead to a person believing there is no hope because they just are a bag of chemicals.

The way out of this particular conundrum is as the OP stated - therapy which addresses the cause of the imbalance, which has every indication of being an effect of the depression, rather than the direct cause. Change your mind through therapy and non-physical means, then watch the bag of chemicals transform...
I have simply stopped believing in depression, I do not blame this "mental illness" for my inaction. Depression is used by many (including myself a couple years back) to relieve any responsibility off oneself.
I really dislike this feature, because it breaks cursor movement.
He would use terms like "bloody hard" or "wet blanket" which I would doubt are taught to foreigners learning English even with British spelling.

However - his spelling was a bit inconsistent. The "Len Sassaman" theory is interesting - as he was known to write in a somewhat British style (for whatever reason) - but not consistently - and was in the right timezone at the time. Or perhaps Satoshi was a synthesis of multiple different people which would explain a lot of the inconsistency as well.
This is extremely typical, I once had a head of production raise big concerns and initiate a lot of activities because: “Half the production orders take longer than the estimated time to produce!” Like this was some huge problem in our company. The real problem was that there was a lot of uncertainty, and in the line of communication “on average it takes 3 months to produce” got turned into “yes, dear customer we can guarantee that you’ll have the product in 3 months”.

Over time we got management to change this, but not enough that they wanted accurate data based estimates which we could of cause calculate from the well known distributions, but instead they just always added a buffer they pulled out of thin air. Why you ask? Because they felt that the original state of “half the orders taking longer than average” showed that “you can’t always trust the data”
Thanks for point it out, after a quick glance it actually looks like something I want to learn more about. Takes the niceties from prisma.io schema tooling and bring it closer to postgres.
I have gone through this book, and it’s the best primer I have found for graph drawing. It covers a wide range of topics, but it is written for an audience with a working knowledge of graph theory. The book is more of a collection of academic papers than a singular How To guide. The problems are discussed in abstract, and concrete implementations aren’t provided. You may need to go read other referenced papers at points.

Unfortunately the most ubiquitous graph type, hierarchical graphs, are an NP hard problem. The chapter outlines the Sugiyama framework for breaking down the problem, but each step is still difficult. Expect to sit down with the chapter over several sessions before you will be able grok how to draw a useful graph.
They are really easy to mimic in PostgreSQL with range types (tstzrange) and an exclusion constraint, so now overlapping values are allowed. I guess they will not add it to the core if a developer can add support to them so easy.
Julia already has bounds checking at runtime on array access, so you could do the mod operation only if the bounds check fails.

But I don't get how this would practically work. Would each array have a preferred n that is used for the mod operation? For most situations where that makes sense, using a 2d array seems more logical.
I’m especially annoyed by the data centers. The politicians got taken for a ride, trading precious gigawatts of electrical infrastructure for a few dozens of jobs and a photo-op with a tier 3 VP from MANGA.
Such a bummer, I really like their stance on DRM and I think they have some great older games. They are the only non-steam game platform that I trust running on my computer.

Funny, many Europeans say the same about America. Not defending NK but the situation has persisted because nobody wants to deal with the flood of refugees a collapsed regime would create. I wouldn’t count on the situation resolving itself in our lifetimes.
Electrical power supply.
GPUs are often the easiest to recover actually – boot with another GPU, keeping the screwed-up one plugged in – it will still be flashable, just run atiflash or whatever.

Also, high end "gamer" hardware often includes "dual BIOS" (on both mainboards and graphics cards) and/or "BIOS flashback" (special button makes a microcontroller flash an image from a USB stick inserted into a marked port, even without a CPU present).
By contrast with the "far east", which is everywhere east of India. I think if someone said "near east" I'd interpret it as roughly the Balkans: Vienna to the Bosporous. No longer as politically important a region.
