I have used obs.ninja [1] to pipe phone camera feeds as video inputs to OBS. I then use the virtual cam plugin to make that my webcam feed. This works great, but what I'd also love to do is take the audio from the phone mic as a browse

Adam Savage's podcast Still Untitled did a really fantastic episode [1] back around Halloween 2018 where they had a molecular biologist come on and talk about his work. The stories he tells are absolutely fascinating and I thoroughly

I should have made it more clear: this may be my inexperience with the software showing. I guess in SW it flows a bit more smoothly, probably due to making some (apparently relatively safe) assumptions. For exmaple, when I click on the surf

I don't think there's one way. This isn't a codified law, for exmaple, it's just a model of failure analysis. In my experience, we use the 5 Whys [1] as a technique to drill down to 'root causes'. However, alon

FreeCAD is truly impressive and wonderful software, but yeh compared to commercial solutions it's lacking the same degree of polish (and that's not a criticsm, considering the price-points!). Both Dad and I use it at home for our

I need some way to spice up my lockdown life. I've already fallen in love with the tighter privacy permissions. For example, I no longer have to give apps an all-or-nothing access to my pics. This is a gamechanger because I bet a bunch

Ah, he was the guy who wrote the facebook sleep time stalker script! It hits the same style of prose very closely.

You and the parent post both sum up my feelings better than I can. We Aussies are being used as meat in the grinder between two companies that are each pretty awful in their own ways. I struggle to feel bad for either of them, really. Proba

On one hand, I get where you're coming from. On the other hand, if they offer a recipe app for free (because it contains no recipes, and let's face it, that's how you get quick user interest), then purchase recipes for $1.x e

Write in active voice. That's the single most important lesson I learnt when writing technical specifications. The #1 goal of technical writing is to be clear and accurate, so passive voice should take a back seat unless you cannot phr

That's not a panacea. OpenSSL was completely open source, and it took, what, 2-3 years for Heartbleed to be discovered and rectified? And it's a major building block of the internet. For open source to help, people have to actuall

I don't know about you, but no matter how much I try I can't just spontaneously summon up focus if my mind's not commmited to it. I was that way in school, in uni and now in work. Working in an office pretending that I can fo

Conceded, it can be a slippery slope for some. For me it's not, thankfully. I've no doubt the rigid clock-on/clock-off process helps to keep some people from overworking, but that isn't me. Even in the office I would sho

I believe I'm working on average longer hours, but I'm able to more flexibly use my own time whilst doing so. I'll work as I'm watching a Twitch stream, for example, and I feel far more relaxed doing this than trying to

I don't disagree with you that human contact is important for a great deal many of people. However, cynically speaking, death and debilitating, potentially long-lasting illness from Covid also can't be hand-waved away. It's a

This can all be overcome. Australia quarantines everyone coming in, with only few exceptions based on compassionate reasons and under strict controls. Hell, Aussies aren't even allowed to leave the country without approval from the g

I'm almost sure he knows all of that about creativity and art, and simply does not care . He has instead decided that he is going to try to commodify music, and this is the result. Factory-farmed music benefits the distributors over t

He may not be Aussie any more, but he was born here to a father involved in news media so it's not really a surprise to me that Australia is one of the places he has an iron fist over media. I mean, he ran media here from the 60s to th

The Lyrebird from Australia is probably the best at this. It can imitate just about anything - car alarms, other birdsongs, camera shutters, gunshots, etc. etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSB71jNq-yQ https:/&#x2F

As countless others have explained, this is an incredibly obtuse way of looking at it since they wouldn't have died in the nearly total majority of cases if it weren't for COVID. This is provably the case, since the average death

Some apps detect if you have a 2FA auth code copied and auto-pastes it. I think Discord might be one? I can't remember which, but I've seen it on at least one app. I can totally expect others to detect copied URLs that may belong

"There is no winning play." That's by design. There's no winning play for the line worker, because providing one reduces the returns for the investors. If it wasn't already obvious before this, the corona response b

I don't agree with that. If you look at how many negative results are returned, that is a good indicator of whether you're sufficiently testing. For example, the average here in Australia is that 1.7% of tests yield positive cases
