When I worked as a camera guy on film sets, this was a typical occurrence. You level out the camera trypod with the magic eye on the tripod. The magic eye being a small amount of liquid with a single bubble inside, pointing always upward. S

In a normal git workflow you have others working on files as well. You can pull their or push your versions via one or more remotes. Maybe I am mistaken, but the only remote stuff I have read in this article was the clone command in the beg

You could say the exact same thing about safety belts and airbags in cars after someone has died in a crash. Why even bother with measures that prevent many problems if they won't prevent all of them, right?

Okay that must have been speakers that were driven directly by the line signal? Otherwise you'd expect an amplifier inbetween the line input and the speakers. This intuition isn't true anymore since today many speakers will have

Counterpoint: anecdotal evidence is sometimes actively harmful and you should consider not sharing it in certain situations. I know, some people have the reflexive urge to make every situation about themselves, but I think you should instea

If you work with media having a 10G connection on a laptop isn't all that absurd. In fact slow network speeds are the main reason why people have to use things like Thunderbolt instead of using a NAS (e.g. offloading data on a film set

Very nice. FUTO is the keyboard I keep recommending. The only thing missing now would be a decent dual-swipe support. Injecting single letters with taps during a swipe or continuing a swipe with another finger makes it even faster since it

Trump promises a lot of things, while also promising others their polar opposite or flipping 180° once in office. If you'd back a politician with a track record that bad on any promise, that is probably something telling more about
