For a while this was basically how it worked for all intents and purposes. I assume it's not like this anymore, but we used to do this with live tv broadcast material: rush out a private youtube video of individual segments for Content

It's easier than you think - I bought an old non-working phone (a candlestick phone in this case), removed the innards and replaced them with a speaker and microphone... it works really well! I had originally planned to make it accessi

This approach will randomly generate profanity. If the ID is visible to users it can cause some to get upset (and best-case simply looks unprofessional). On a purely technical level if visible in URLs it can cause links to be blocked/a

Having experience of this, it's fun to explore technological solutions but at the end of the day, re-reading while transcribing is a lot more enjoyable than quality checking and correcting OCR results - especially if you have bad handw

Unclear from the ESA site how much this is sped up, but they say it was filmed over one day. You can see the curviture of the sun, so it's not zoomed in all that much - so these are massive, fast-moving structures!

Not quite - the current legislation[1] is that you must have a TV license if you watch/record live TV (however you do it - online, with a TV, etc.), or if you use the BBC's iPlayer app/site. You do not require a TV license

This is exactly my thought on the matter - this sort of auto-generated documentation is transient synthetic data, it doesn't warrant being kept in version control (or, if in version control, in a sidecar db clearly marked as auto-gener

Oh yeah definitely - I was purely commenting on the parent comment's "really far" claim, and noting that it's all the same to the eye muscles once you hit 20 feet - you don't have to (no pun intended) set your sight

My understanding is that 20 feet or so is optical infinity, so whether you're looking at an object 20 feet away or 20 light years away, your eye muscles are just as relaxed (hence the 20-20-20 recommendation: every 20 minutes, stare at

He had ~6 months to download his data, not 7 days: they told him on the 11th of May 2023 (or thereabouts they gave him a 60 day period ending on the 10th of July 2023) that he had exceeded his quota. They should, of course, have given a cle
