Indeed Primatte. This explains a lot. Thanks!

Mostly things that smelled like memory leaks (pull a matte, leave it for a while, come back and tweak it => long coffee break). Also, restoring from idle seemed to be the hardest on Snow Leopard.

Do you work for the Foundry? I find that Nuke for OSX is by far the crashiest. Was wondering why.

I think I know who removed the Scroll Lock from our keyboards. Meet me by the service entrance to the 69th Regiment Armory, no questions asked. We'll trebuchet that little devil to Siam.

Seriously, this algorithm (along with Levenshtein distance) should be taught in high-school.

WHAT! I'm sorry about that. It's on my own website now: http://playground.omershapira.com/Notes/DS_CS.pdf

This sounds like a Wikipedia Subportal. If you want help building it, let me know.

Slightly academic, but this cheat sheet gives out some shorthand explanations to many of the methods in the Big-O document: http://www.scribd.com/doc/39557873/Data-Structures-Cheat-She...

To be fair, Oracle is (or was planning on) making heaps of money out of Java for business. Client-side Java seems like less than a portion of their plan to start with (anyone who mentions JavaFX here gets banned from the internet) - I mean,

Wonderful. Now give it a name that doesn't sound like "Bro-Python" and I'm sold.

I thought so too until I read the last 3 paragraphs. "Those numbers check out" is totally valid. But concluding with the relevance of the measure of gun harm is an observation about reality, not Statistics, which is debatable, but has no re

"If mass shootings are really occurring at random, then this suggests that they are extreme, unpredictable events, and are not the most relevant measure of the overall harm caused by gun violence." In my Undergrad years I would get

There's a 'help' button on the top-right corner in case you get lost - but I guess I should curb my minimalism and make it larger. The visualization is meant to visually explain the 'distance'. If the chosen word (top scope) falls down nice

Anyone who wants to do that can contact me (contact form and email can be found there) and I'll happily publish the results.

I'll definitely look into the Brown clustering. I used this one with the hope of being able to eventually run spectral clustering on this (main problem: the KLIC defines a pre-metric, not a proper metric, so the order of operations is cruci

Oh wow. Forget my graduate studies, I'm buying two.

Haven't tried it yet, unfortunately. Not being your own DP has some disadvantages too... If you've seen any low-light footage with with manageable noise on it (forget manageable, just make it pretty) shot with Magic Lantern, I'd love to kno

The "disruption" is the promise to get 12-bit RAW out of it for this cheap. It isn't necessarily disruptive (RED cameras are still competitively priced, considering the budgets of productions that could harness what RAW has to offer), but i

The thing to remember is that no matter how good the output format (and this one is quite good), the biggest problem with these cameras is still the CMOS/CCD. RED cameras have a notoriously noisy output, and I've been cursing a Canon 5D for

by omershapira 14y ago
Well, yes. Indie shoots will factor camera [rent] costs normally as no more than 10% of the shooting day's budget, and as the production scales up, this diminishes faster. Nonetheless, having your own camera for the price of 5-10 days is a

Actually, I mean film is cheaper because under highly complicated circumstances, the standard workflow is less risky. I'm not saying that it's cheaper in principle, or that there for a given situation there isn't a specific solution that's

You'll be surprised that the film process is still cheaper in some scenarios. Special effects, for instance - anywhere you have to pull a matte (i.e separate the foreground from a green screen), the film telecine can be tweaked to convenien
