It's designed to be useful for more than one kind of "Pro". The old Mac Pro, for instance, seemed to completely forget about music studios and their professional requirements for M…

Or we could just start punishing companies for massive and widely damaging data leaks. AFAIK about GDPR, it wouldn't prevent this. These things keep happening because nothing bad h…

It specifically mentions that he waited until late at night after everyone went home.

Nothing could hold up to the amount of hype Magic Leap got, but based on what I've seen it's been an excellent use of its investment capital. They've been experimenting with new te…

I'm sorry, but your example falls a little flat when you look at how Fox News became the lynchpin of the shit-show the US is sinking in to right now. People adapted to it, sure- bu…

I still don't really understand how exclusive franchise agreements /aren't/ illegal, given antitrust laws.

I don't think it's possible not to.

Yes, I disagree with the above user's statement about why they're said to be federated- they're federated because content from any instance can appear on any other instance. The fe…

From the looks of it, no actual subset of it would form a functional system, so it is itself a fundamental unit?

From what I've seen, no one involved really cares about how robust it is. It's a crypto-bandwagon cash grab.

Oh, yeah- I only ever use the Twitter website to manage my notifications. Tweetbot on OSX and Flamingo on Android are my gotos. Also, LinkedIn is terrible, and has been for the ent…

also Opera.

I've been really engaging with Mastodon lately and having a similar experience. I find it's also changing the way I behave on sites like Twitter and HN as well.

I decided last year that after 10 years, I would figure out how to get something out of twitter, and what I've found is that it really became a useful tool for me by the time I was…

It seems to me like what you're trying to do is analyze video, while Moviepy is mostly really good at programatic editing. Have you looked in to OpenCV?

How much video/audio editing have you done?

I've used Moviepy fairly extensively in a recent project and yes, the docs are incomplete. I've had to resort to actually reading the source code to figure out why, for example, my…

There's so much range confusion over at Apple right now it's starting to feel like the 90's all over again. Compare the Macbook with the 13" Macbook Pro, there's a ridiculous amoun…

This isn't a post about why the author won't buy one. The post is about why the author, a long time Apple die-hard, doesn't believe the current Macbook Pro is "Pro". These posts ge…

This is as asinine as the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" trope. People use guns to kill people. People use privacy breaches to kill people. People also use ideology t…

I lived in Spain for a year, and everyone had chips there. My US card always drew eyerolls as they had to find the /old/ machine and dust it off and find someone who remembered how…

Then you make a note of it, and send them a letter (certified, receipt requested).

I'm really amazed I had to scroll down this far (past the pedantic supercharger/turbocharger nomenclature arguments) to get to someone making this point.

I make a pretty decent salary in the US, and I wouldn't call that affordable.
