    Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I just finished a COBOL contract for a FOREX broker like 3 weeks ago so that inspired this video. It's a really cool niche actually.

    Of course, there are no absolutes. But how common are projects like that? Exceedingly rare in my experience. The great majority of projects (especially web and tech) are no longer …

    Every time I tried to do anything useful, it crashed, though that could have to do with my high bitrate 4k footage origin. While attempting to use some tools I noticed the quality …

    No. The IDEA and what they're proposing it can do is incredible, not the actual product. As far as I can tell it doesn't really work that well, and that's me being generous. It has…

    The idea is a bit different. Filming clones usually requires leaving the camera "still" without moving it, then you re-film the same scene and same position multiple times so you c…

    If somebody is selling something it's because it's not making them money, and that's the end of it. Nobody would sell you a project for 5k that's generating 1k per month. People se…

    Absolutely true. You need to finish everything you start (within reason), because starting new projects then quitting becomes akin to an addiction. Don't develop bad habits, start …

    The VAST majority of mask wearing I have seen in California has been average cloth-covers. I have only seen a handful of people out of thousands actually wearing N95 masks, so perh…

    You're comparing a continent with a country. A person in Canada has very little in common with those in Mexico and/or Panama, etc. The same could be said about most continents.

    It could be your sight, or the size of your display. You never mentioned how big it was. If it's a monster 18" laptop then the difference between 1080 and 4k is a lot more signific…

    Ever try using Blender without one? You absolutely need the numpad for 3D programs and game engines, otherwise it's outright painful.

    More people are leaving California currently than coming to it. Perhaps that isn't a biblical level exodus quite yet, but it's coming with time. Just be patient. Rome didn't fall i…

    I'm staggered people didn't know this was a thing, anybody surprised must have their eyes closed or possibly be naive. It was obvious years ago, not just Amazon either... But most …

    The issue with Facebook you see is that they (along with most huge tech corps) have become this weird amalgamation between fascist and communist. They're a private company that con…
