    What problem is it aiming to solve (that the file name doesn't already solve)?

    Just like a psychological diagnosis is often based on proximity to a cluster of symptoms rather than specific ones that must be met, you can't point to one particular line that mak…

    Am I missing something or does the article fail to explain the point of Arrow’s Theorem? Is it satisfied for the discrete case, provably impossible, or what? > While this applies t…

    Dumb question, but why don’t they just use a single more highly-curved mirror rather than a series of 3 bounces?

    PDF sounds like a terrible format for reading on the kindle, why not MOBI or epub or whatever it uses?

    I don’t think it is. What you describe is similar to any other industry disruption, and I don’t think those are unethical. I’d actually argue that preventing disruption is often (n…

    Waiting for someone to explain to me why this is hyperbole and bluster.

    Zsh has a better builtin solution. hash -d x=/path/to/x Then you can cd to there with just ~x And use it in commands like ls ~x/whatever/

    With all due respect, I think you're wildly out of touch with how most people use "phones" these days. Actual calls probably represent about 5% of my phone use. The term "phone" is…

    Yes. That’s a problem to sort out between the employees and the company, it has nothing do to with users or customers. As a user I’m not going to pretend I know any of the relevant…

    Comment #37898913

    I think this is just wrong. I don’t want “the same bitrate as ProRes”, I just want higher bitrate HEVC. For example YouTube has recently added a “high bitrate 1080p” option, which …

    My main use case is family/holiday videos. Saving massive pro-res files would fill up the space quickly and I’m not sure how to process them into HEVC quickly and simply.

    I don’t think the sensor is the limiting factor for me. I am happy with the photo quality on the 15 pro. It’s the video compression. Or maybe the speed at which the sensor can offl…

    I don’t really have anything to compare it to as I have never used a proper video camera. So I’m just comparing it to the average YouTube video quality I guess. The main problem th…

    I am consistently disappointed with the iPhone’s video quality. It looks like the bitrate is simply too low, either to keep file size down or because the phone can’t encode 4K that…
