I think the closest thing to an actual "standard" is AES5-2018, "Recommended practice for professional digital audio". Abstract: > A sampling frequency of 48 kHz is recommended for…

I also have a tendency to say "Last century", thinking it comedically suggests "a long time ago" without it actually being that long ago. But as time goes by it obviously becomes l…

The big IP films got better distribution and marketing, but there hasn't really been a shortage of original films produced over the last decade. The big franchise movies are a smal…

If you're talking about introducing it somewhere where there's currently no social safety net, sure. Where I live if you were to replace the existing safety net with say £1k a mont…

I suppose it's like a magic trick. It's less impressive once you understand how it all works. But still, it's clearly effective and you can admire the artistry.

> Does the public really not know what editing is? I think most viewers would be unaware of the cut unless it was pointed out. Hence this sequence being called a "shot".

My recollection from this era is there was a common argument that provocation and boundary pushing were the way to ensure an uncensored internet. To me, it seems like that argument…

Not really answering your question, but the Belgian Congo photo is probably more notable and consequential. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nsala_of_Wala_in_the_Nsongo_Di...

Don't know if it counts, but my London cinema listings website just uses static json files that I upload every weekend. All of the searching and stuff is done client side. Although…

Also the Acorn Archimedes is, technically, an ARM / RISC desktop.

An opinion about the design of the website.

The most obvious reason for this is browser fingerprinting, right? So your visits to other websites can be linked to your Linkedin identity? Or no?

Maybe "Consider the ant" from The Bible? Which I only know about from the John Wyndham story[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consider_Her_Ways

These end a few years before I started getting them. I have a large pile of NMEs and Melody Makers from I guess the late '80s / early '90s if anybody wants to collect them from Eas…

I find it a bit odd how much people talk up the Rust aspect of Tauri. For most cases you'll be writing a Typescript frontend and relying on boilerplate Rust + plugins for the backe…

Not related to the tech bits of this, but I finally got around to watching Aftersun a couple of days ago. It's a great, sad film about somebody watching home video from their child…

In the context of the Epstein files, I think Schmidt's actual quote looks pretty good ("If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in…

Your comment reminded of the youtuber who changed the shop signs in his video into scary non-English script: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPZxMVpnCBM Edit: Changed to link I lik…

Anything else worth considering other than youtube (or self-hosting if scale isn't an issue)?
