I had an interview scheduled on Monday, got a teams link which I clicked at the specified time, but nobody else showed up. Possibly some timezone confusion, but I was definitely there at the time I was told to be. Emailed them, got no reply

Maybe to some extent it's a similar situation to git. Everybody knew CVS and SVN kinda sucked, there were lots of competitors, but they all remained esoteric until git, which a) had immediate "mainstream" adoption due to the

It's frustrating that AFAIK the FLOSS choices are Blender (compositor is robust but has severe limitations and is really, really slow) and Natron (more featureful and faster but crashes if you look at it wrong). Davinci Resolve has Fus

I think it's more about the stakes, obstacles, "psychic wounds" etc, than the actual superpowers. Being born with superpowers isn't that big a deal, if you're in a film where every other significant character also h

That's more a description of 20th century Bond than Craig-era Bond. Contemporary Bond is a traumatized alcoholic who only passes a medical because M fixes his results. IIRC In Casino Royale he crashes his DB5 and is captured by his nem

I would also vigorously oppose such a view.

True, to the extent that any 90 minutes of smartphone footage uploaded to youtube is technically "a movie". In order to be "a movie" in the sense that Evil Dead or Primer are movies, I would say you need a bit more than

Surely the whole point of Watchmen was that superheros aren't better than other people. For the last couple of decades cinema's been reinventing (male) superheroes as "complex characters" with flaws, moral weaknesses a

"Almost nothing" in movie terms means "the cost of a house". Not "almost nothing" on a normal human scale.

I think I agree with the thrust of the video. My caveats would be: 1) When anybody dunks on "modern movies", they mean "modern movies with $>100m marketing budgets". Which is actually a small minority of modern movies

I guess having a high "yearly income" in one year includes things like inheritances and house sales, which would make it more believable.

The C64 was much more game-ready out of the box, with a joystick port, an excellent sound chip and hardware sprites. Also I think the C64 had a decent disk drive available at launch, which the Spectrum never really got one of. Perhaps the b

Because it's the industry standard, and I presume because it's still quite good. The only modern thing I have to compare it with is GIMP (probably not a fair comparison), but when I last used Photoshop it was already nicer than GI

There are many "Audition alternatives", but it's hard to recommend anything without knowing what you want it for. Audacity might be OK if your needs are very basic. Pro-tools is kind of the industry standard DAW. Reaper is so

People use Adobe apps because they're integrated (in terms of licensing and workflow) with other Adobe apps, and because they need to collaborate with other people who use Adobe apps. I guess none of that is much of a selling point for

I'm wondering if he actually said "Get ready for the crash", as the article title and former HN title suggest. It's not in the interview. I suppose it's kind of implied.

The chest burster scene holds up, up until the baby alien scurries off at the end. But there's a hilariously terrible effect later on where it cuts from a model of John Hurt's head to the real thing. Edit: Ian Holm, not John Hur

I know that at least one vehicle in this[1] car chase scene does not exist, but only because I've heard a director's commentary. I'm guessing most people wouldn't spot it either. And it wouldn't surprise me at all i
