I really want a private bookmarking thing that will

i) Import all my bookmarks.

ii) Gradually crawl images for all those bookmarks.

iii) Display everything in a pinterest style grid

iv) allow me to drag and drop links around; to add dividers; etc

v) allow me to add tags or descriptions etc.

I do not want any sharing; I don't want to see what other people are bookmarking. Or I want those to be optional.

I'm happy to pay for this. Maybe like pinboard, a one off of $10.
Your points are just beautiful. Someone talking in business mode (patio11), versus someone in product mode (edv519).

I think your argument is rather about your goals. patio11 wants to make money first of all. edv519 wants to make the user happy first of all. Both views have pros and cons, and you will probably both reach your goals.
I'd really like to know the technical reasons why the lighting appears different in 48 fps than 24 fps. His paraphrase from John Knoll was interesting, but didn't entirely satisfy my desire to know what really is going on here.

Alright, so how do we fix it? How can content producers protect themselves from legitimate copyright infringement on services such as YouTube that allow unverified uploads on a massive scale?
PHP has changed a lot over time. It moved from a C-style procedural language to very Java-esque object oriented language. "PHP" hasn't been "PHP" for a long time already.

It's always hard to do large language changes, but it's not impossible. E.g. consider the change that PHP did from version 4 to 5. That was a pretty major paradigm shift, with lots of broken code, but it worked out well in the end :)

Very helpful, thanks for the breakdown -- placed my order -- anything of note you've put together with them yet?
This captures it concisely. There is years and years of experience lighting things to make them look good in the theatre. There is also years of experience in lighting things to make them look good on video. Unfortunately the video lighting people and the cinema lighting people aren't the same people.

On a related note, I saw a clip of Patton running on a television that was doing active motion compensation filtering. It made the movie look like it was shot on video, and in that mode the various prop items stood out. In one scene the jeep in the background, and the background in general, is clearly painted on a flat surface. Without the motion compensation on that jeep looked like it could be a real jeep in the scene. Very weird effect.
Just tried the website out and can't resist jumping in either. Sorry to be harsh but I really don't appreciate a long questionnaire with a forced sign up under the pretense of personalization when really, none is offered in the end. Why did I just spend 10 minutes filling out all the information only to be offered none of what I asked for?

There has to be a term for this as it happens very often: describe a common, frustrating consumer problem thereby implying that your product will solve it; follow up with a bunch of exciting and mystery-building hand waiving; finally, unveil your cheap, run-of-the-mill product identical to all the other cheap, run-of-the-mill products already on the market. At the end of the day, the website sells the same stuff that you'd find at any lower-priced mass retailer and doesn't appear to actually curate its supposedly personalized "my shop" based on my answers.

Some more impressions. One, it's rather discrediting for a "true fit" company not to offer true fit sizes such as AA for example. Two, it's rather annoying when a sales page asks for your preferences (brand, coverage, etc) and then proceeds to suggest things that are the exact opposite. Three, those impractical, showy "sexy time" bras, which seem to be 90% of the inventory, require panties to match, otherwise there is literally no point to them. Four, it's rather lame for a supposedly women-oriented website to push those fake silicone inserts as tough there is something wrong with real women's breasts.

Yes, bra fit is a big problem, and yes, it's a disruption opportunity. But I fail to see how True & Co has an interesting approach. They sell the same brands as everyone else and ignore your preferences just like those overworked, disinterested sales people. The shipping is free but if you have to return anything - which at a minimum of 5 bras per shipment is virtually guaranteed - it is easier to just go to your local mass retailer and try things on.

> Netflix Super HD requires that your Internet Provider is part of the Netflix Open Connect network.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? What the fuck happened to net neutrality?

The WHOLE POINT of the internet is that you don't have to deal with this sort of shit.

And people wonder why piracy still exists. I can get a 1080p copy of a movie from torrents no matter what ISP I'm on.
This is one of the points I always try to make with other tools... if you can do what you want with it, and it suits the needs of your project, you don't need to "move on" to something else.

Sure, it's good to keep your mind open, investigate other possibilities, and keep your eyes forward... but if you're able to draw the pictures you want and like, it doesn't matter if you're using crayons or oil paints.
I was a fan of Pop-Up Video so I enjoy the aesthetic.
> I still wonder why it has to be a laptop, though, since desktops (and maybe communal working spaces[1]) seem to fit the bill just fine.

You can't take a desktop with you. Sure, you can go to the computer lab, and there will probably be enough computers that you can sit next to each other, and you can probably talk quietly enough to not disturb anyone else around you.

You definitely can't take a desktop with you to class. I've tried.
>I am not poor, I am just pre-wealthy.

Whose propaganda line? I've never heard anyone in favor of small government say that. There aren't people in the electorate who think they're going to wind up wealthy to swing an election.

The lack of increasing real incomes doesn't have anything to do with "tax cuts for the super rich". It's the combination of globalization and the importation of ten million poor people. If you're doing a job that can be taught to a Central or South American peasant in a few weeks you simply have no power in the labor market.
That motion compensation that TVs do is the most egregious sin of all, and makes 48fps film pale in comparison.

It's the first thing I turn off.
That vision is stale and cancerous for the PHP community. The directive is and always has been along those lines, "real programmers don't use PHP". For some reason the core team has pushed that. There are a lot of us who use PHP full time who would also love for some real, cohesive decisions to be made in favour of bringing vision to PHP. Sadly the internals list is always just a shitstorm.

Anthony's view is that of someone trying to make the language better for those of us who use it day-to-day. To make it a real contender in web languages, because it does have that potential.
>Netflix Super HD requires an internet connection with at least 5Mb/s download. Not all devices can play Super HD. Super HD is only available via Internet Providers that are part of the Open Connect network.

From https://signup.netflix.com/openconnect:

>ISPs can directly connect their networks to Open Connect for free. ISPs can do this either by free peering with us at common Internet exchanges, or can save even more transit costs by putting our free storage appliances in or near their network.

>Major ISPs around the world have already connected to Open Connect, including Frontier, British Telecom, TDC, Clearwire, GVT, Telus, Bell Canada, Virgin, Cablevision, Google Fiber, Telmex, and more.

That sounds like something that would be hard to get an American ISP to agree to, since some have their own offerings (Comcast's stake in Hulu and own Xfinity, for example.)

I think a key take away is that film isn't supposed to be hyper realistic. When there are dragons on the screen, a slightly slower refreshed image for your eyes simply aids in the suspension of disbelief.

Of course, its easy to say "you ain't used to it so it's odd" but that seems dismissive. Film is manufactured fantasy, so imperfect reproduction is totally acceptable and perhaps preferred.
Subaru, why play games like this?
Interesting: I'd be interested in seeing a list of ISPs that support Super HD (presumably this list will be forthcoming once they've got at least one big-ish name ISP). But also, this seems like a method of Netflix trying to strong-arm ISPs/have more of an outwardly "harmonious" relationships with them. If an ISP supports Super HD, then how can they possibly complain that their customers are using too much bandwidth by viewing Netflix? Oh, and if you're a netflix customer, here's an alternative to your curmudgeonly ISP that supports Super HD!
Okay, thank you. I will learn business management as well. Thank you for explaining how tech giants were once and how they are no more. You gave me great insight on what happens to most startups at Silicon Valley.
I've got one on my desk which ssh -X's into a "real" computer and then throws a java script heavy dashboard up on the Rpi's X11 screen. Sort of like an X-terminal of yore. Running the browser native on the Rpi bogs down.

I've also got one serving up a static view of some database with json and thttpd. I've found that NFS mounting storage is more effective than using the SD card (in another thread where we were debating the longevity of SD Cards I took one and wrote a bunch of files to it until it failed, which it did fairly quickly, so I try to keep all file systems mostly readonly on the SDcard and R/W mounted ones. You could also use a USB drive for that. The Rpi's Achilles heel is that everything goes through USB though.
- Yes I do sir. I get your point. Thank you for clearing that up for me.
I'd label it more as "heterogenous security." If everyone modded their own car, a thief is forced to develop novel attacks for each car.

Immobilisers have two major issues. The first is code weakness. Many of the early ones used static keys. In '98 when Germany mandated them for new cars, BMW and others switched to using the odometer reading as a shared secret. Newer ones often use weak 40-bit keys. The second issue is that most immobilizers simply cut the ignition circuit and the fuel pump circuit. If you know where the relays are on a model of car you can short circuit them.
I'm genuinely curious: in cases like this, how do we differentiate between what is truly not pretty and what we don't like just because we're habituated to something else? Does the former even mean anything, since we humans are the only ones experiencing the technology?

But the scenes they pick out in particular are in the hobbit hole.. this all happens within the first 10-20 minutes of the film, perhaps before you have adjusted to the high FPS.
No. Seems like consumer electronics companies are now capable of generating their own buzz as needed w/o the need to invest the time/effort/$$ to attend CES.
I feel as though we ought to hold our comments to higher standards than "expresses a strong negative opinion with no supporting evidence or reasoning". Maybe that's just me?

It certainly feels strange that this sort of comment is being defended when the same comment with PHP replaced by Python/Ruby/(Java/Coffee)script/Haskell/C/C++ would be universally reviled.
There is no "controversial" in this kind of case. Either it's legal, or it's not.
There is no "kinda legal but maybe not".
While the inputs are not binary, the output definitely is.

So either Google has to decide that, or they have to let others hash it out.
Youtube doesn't prevent you from, for example, all banding together and suing Lionsgate in a class action.

You could also try personal suits for tortuous interference with contractual relationships (Lionsgate is deliberately interfering with your relationship with Youtube).
It may be viable in some states (others, definitely not).

There are plenty of options here, youtube shouldn't be deciding this stuff any more than anyone else (for example github complies with DMCA requests, and counter-notifications, despite what they think of the actual situation).
GPUs [...] were able to get a 14- to 15-fold performance boost [...] Their Monte Carlo model, for example, was able to realize a 260- to 280-fold speedup using FPGA acceleration.

These numbers are consistent with other computations I've seen that were well-suited for FPGAs.
Does this imply that Netflix has been 720p until now, or what exactly does the term mean?

I thought we were over the horribleness of "HD Ready" and "Full HD".
Django added a timeout period to the password reset in Django 1.2, it defaults to 3 days, the only issue I'm aware of is that it calculates the timeout in days which isn't very convenient if you want to be extra-careful.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/settings/#std:sett...

Haven't looked too closely at it but Bruno Renié has a Django app that has done most of the heavy-lifting to make password reset customizable by providing as class-based views and changing the timeout period granularity to seconds (it defaults to 172800 seconds or 2 days):

This is what I'm disagreeing with. Colorwas a big plus, and you'll find little opposition to more resolution among filmmakers - when we can afford it, we'll take as much resolution as is available, likewise color depth.

We've been able to shoot 48 fps for years; there aren't any major technical obstacles to doing so on film, even on relatively cheap cameras; for example, an Arri Super 16mm camera available for under $10k (a fixture on the indie movie scene for many years) can be cranked up to 50, 60, 75, 90, 120 fps dependent on the model. Later models allow one to dial in an exact frame rate rather than simply selecting one. High-speed shooting is a fairly standard feature, because you need to overcrank in order to shoot a scene in slow motion, and everybody looooves slow motion. I've worked with film cameras shooting at up to 240fps, and you can get specialized ones that go a lot faster (up to a few thousand FPS, if you have sufficiently fast film or sufficiently powerful lighting). Re-engineering a film projector to play back at 48fps is trivial. The only difference it makes in practice is that you have to hire more projectionists because they need to change the reels twice as often. Projectionists live near the bottom of the movie food chain so the additional expense isn't really a deterrent either.

So on a technical level, 48 fps is quite pedestrian. Nothing other than the cost of the celluloid and processing chemicals has prevented filmmakers from using it, and for all but the lowest budget films, those costs are a small fraction of the overall budget. It's only new(ish) in digital filmmaking, where until recently it's been a hassle to deal with the huge volumes of data involved in doubling the frame rate for everything, and few cameras had sufficient bandwidth because there was little demand for it. The reason that there are no 48fps movies shot on film is that nobody has ever liked the results enough to justify doing a feature on it and pushing it out to market. We've done that with plenty of new technologies in the past, from anamorphic projection to things like Cinerama, which required three synchronized projectors for the ultimate widescreen experience (which can only be viewed in 3 theaters in the US today).

Sometimes things hurt because they're new. But other times they hurt because they just don't satisfy us. In the case of 48 fps we could have rolled this out decades ago.
@qznc that's an intriguing formulation. Could you elaborate a bit?

1) What do you mean by "image approach"?
2) What example are you thinking of for the "link lots of libraries via function calls" approach?

The trichotomy I am familiar with is to divide things up into lisp vs c/unix vs smalltalk schools, but that doesn't seem to map to what you are saying.
Hear, hear; I've been using Chicken for commercial and personal projects for about five years now. It keeps getting better.

Occasionally, Racket has a package that I'd like to port (e.g. datalog); but I find it otherwise overbearing.

Chicken has found some local maximum of efficiency and availability of useful libraries.
I am one of these people who were REALLY excited about this technology. I was fully, 100% prepared to walk out of the cinema, happily proclaiming that HFR video is the best thing ever and that every single film from now on should be shot and shown in this technology. More frames per second MUST mean that it will be better for the viewers,right?

And then I went to a cinema,and could not get used to this effect. Everything the characters did, seemed accelerated. I did not think that the video looked amateurish or home-made - no, absolutely not. But each scene in Biblo's House or generally all inside scenes looked like they were playing at 2x the normal speed - the characters moved too fast, it was unnatural. But I know that it couldn't have been really moving at 2x the speed - the sound was in sync,so there was nothing wrong with the cinema. I have no idea,how this could happen - I have seen plenty of videos shot in 60fps and never noticed anything so disturbing. Sorry,but Hobbit in 48fps was unwatchable for me.
Is this an issue of how much bandwidth is costing NetFlix or something? I pay Comcast for a 105Mbps connection, I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to stream 5Mbps or even 5MBps.

As an aside, my PS3 Slim's wireless card is really subpar, so I'd assume a wired connection would be required to take advantage of this on a console.
>Knoll asked me, "You probably only noticed the odd lighting in the interior scenes, not in the outdoors scenes, right?" And once he asked it this way, I realize he was right. The scenes in the HFR version that seemed odd were all inside. The landscape scenes were stunning in a good way. "That's because they didn't have to light the outside; the real lighting is all that was needed, so nothing seemed amiss."

I would love to see cinematographers experiment with natural lighting for shots. Kubrick (in)famously did this in Barry Lyndon[1] 37 years ago. To do this he used f/0.7 Carl Zeiss lenses that were designed for NASA.

Nowadays we are far less limited due to the incredible light-sensitivity of modern image sensors. And if that doesn't work we can go for larger sensors, which would still be far cheaper than doing the same with film.

I have a feeling Kubrick would be having a field day with current tech and would have been one of the first supporters of 48Hz.

Amazon...with Google coming in second.

Google has an amazing advantage at matching user intent with relevant results, some of that intent is commercial. Amazon has tied some of its revenue to the general technological progress by powering the infrastructure of technology companies(AWS). Of course, this is just a bonus to their nearly unstoppable success in selling physical and digital products. The only thing that can stop Amazon is a series of huge missteps on its part.

This sounds more like "hipsters like flaws." CDs absolutely ROFLstomped both vinyl and cassette very quickly once they became affordable for normal people. People had the option of buying CD or cassette in the mid-'90s, and they generally preferred CDs. MP3 did the same thing despite similar complaints.

Ignoring the argument about whether or not my ISP supports SuperHD yet, I have to ask the question -- What happened to Netflix?

Between Hulu Plus, Amazon, Crackle, iTunes, Verizon On-Demand, regular and paid cable channels, I can't even remember the last time I found something on Netflix worth watching. In fact, I took an inventory the other day to see whether or not it was even worth the $8 a month I'm paying for it, and of all the movies 'added' to Netflix since 2011, I was only able to recognize the titles of about five. Of those five, none of them were blockbusters I'd been waiting to see particularly.

It seems that either their streaming catalog has grown stagnant, or to enjoy it I have to learn to study the independent movie scene more closely to figure out what is worth seeing.

Did I miss a big chapter of their story? I know that many people had situated Netflix out of the '28-day window', but while I'm happy to wait another month to see most movies, I'd like to eventually see it at some point, and frankly, none of the 20 or so movies that I had gone to the theaters to see in that same time frame had ever appeared on Netflix as a streaming option.
