I produce video-based self-paced training and Screenflow works well for me. I have a reasonably recent iMac, two screens, a green screen behind me, and six(!) lights on and around my desk. USB camera and a decent USB microphone also.

Totally missing the main point of the article. FB is actively leading people down a dark path. Your mall or convention centre doesn’t so that, but FB’s attention-optimising algorithms do. FB must be very happy for people to bang on about fr

Related to that, if (in business) you need detailed quantitative analysis to tell you which of two paths to pursue, it probably doesn’t much matter either way. And extrapolations are a dangerous business anyway.

I’m no historian, but indexed disk-based structures - upon which relational databases were built – have been around a very long time. For example, IBM brought out ISAM in the mid 1960’s, roughly contemporary with the publication of the rela

Not offtopic but fair comment. The cliche is a clue that what follows is likely to be 1-dimensional and reductionist. Possibly lazy too, but I’m not sure that would be fair here - it wasn’t such a low-effort article to warrant that.
