Yeah, I got back into video recently and it's pretty surprising that the "multiple video in" isn't a solved problem in 2024! Even recording "clean" video by itself is unexpectedly tricky. The only choice, on a

I like IA and I'm checking out their new presenter, thanks for the tip. But geeze I wish they'd have a better example in their showreel video. Who, exactly, makes, presents and is presented with these "What is design?" f

Well, I'm sorry to hear this, even though I never tried it. I don't care about threads, I don't need multiple chats, I don't have any big groups, everything is E2EE, and I actively do not want an AI gimmick bot hanging a

Actually, "man" in this sense ("all humans") is descended from mann , an old english word that didn't specifically indicate male. It evolved to refer to males specifically later, although retaining its old inclusiv

The false premise is that the religious explanation is the default or incumbent explanation, which must then be bettered or countered by "challenger" explanations such as science. It tries to frame the argument with religion as th

Not when you understand the tradeoffs being made. If you enable Advanced Data Protection and lose or forget your password, Apple cannot help you recover it. It makes sense that it's opt-in and users make a conscious choice to make that

Thanks for your well-informed contributions to this thread. Food for thought. I must admit that I hadn't known the "factory environment" made such a big difference in outcomes. In your opinion then, do we need to add a 3rd &q

No. I know it's nonsense even without reading it, because it starts from a false premise.

This is happening in Australia as well. I am looking forward to a legal decision that SAAS-mediated collusion is still collusion.

Yeah. My usual advice to anyone who asks is "Use Rails unless you have a very good reason not to". Those reasons do exist, but they're pretty specific and don't apply 90% of the time. Of course if we're being really

In arguing against others' excessive optimism, IMO you've slid into excessive pessimism, which is just as much of a fallacy. If you're going to be this reductive about it, why don't you plant a flag on a hill somewhere a
