Yes, I mean cold sales emails – marketers reaching out to CEOs or other decision makers, selling them staff augmentation services, growth hacking, marketing support, lead generation, design services, etc. They'd claim legitimate intere

Unfortunately, not in a business context, where marketers can claim "legitimate interest" in various ways. Also, in which way would it matter that they are illegal? Random companies keep sending them anyway; there are virtually no

Just saw this, and as a small business owner in the B2B market, this sounds very useful. Gmail's existing spam filters do not reliably detect this type of marketing. I wish your landing page had a simple "how it works" explan

I agree it would be good to clarify this. I have a product that does some background job processing using Sidekiq and Redis, and it seems that this would not constitute "making the software available", in particular where it says:

Generally, capitalize longer words. But this really depends on the style book you choose to follow (MLA, APA, CMOS). See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case

Sure, the whole point of CRF is to set a quality target and forget about it, or, with ABR, to be as good as you can with an average bitrate target (under constraints). But you can't do that across resolutions, e.g. do you pick the high

Precisely this! There's no need to code the same information twice; it just means you have to think more about what the graph shows.

Both. The 180 degree rule just makes sure motion blur looks as intended and is a mostly artistic choice that can vary depending on the scene. E.g. for action sequences or particularly smooth motion in a dreamy scene, you can break this rule

I'd say: "She has said goodbye too many times before." Because it still has relevance for the present, it should be present perfect. Unless if course it's about finally quitting, then the past tense makes sense.

Nice tool. Some suggestions: - Allow playback via Space button. Show a play marker to let the user know where in the sample they are, even without having selected a part. - Choose a sample that is easier on the ears than high-pitched bird s

I don't follow your argument. I've lived in various major European cities and it was always easy enough to find a discount supermarket (Lidl, Aldi etc.) within walking distance, and if not, maybe within 5 minutes of cycling. There

Sure, it does not hurt to wear such clothes. But those arguments aren't mutually exclusive, and by always repeating them, public discussions tend to shift towards the arguments that blame the weaker ones (i.e., cyclists, pedestrians),

It's apparently not in the interest of traffic engineers in the U.S. to care for pedestrian (or cyclist) safety. It's been this way since the post-war area where everything was built for cars, and this seems to have manifested in

From a technical perspective that would make sense, but it's unrealistic to achieve this in practice. It would be impossible for the entire market to support that. In order to maintain the artistic intent across different platforms, it

High-end digital cinema cameras are not _that_ grainy per se. The sensors are very clean. The level of grain you get from digital cinema photography is mostly by artistic choice and added through the camera or in post production. Sometimes

That would make sense. Just like some overlays could be added later.

Many productions specifically want film grain. Directors and DPs have very concrete aesthetic intentions when they go for film grain, so you're likely to find lots of movies with film grain added in post when they were shot on almost n

This article is not very informative. The referenced video is a couple of years old — this is all not news. I think this article is just a plug for the company website and should be removed from HN.

As someone who only needs to use Flexbox/Grid every once in a while, this is precisely what I needed. I've been struggling with static documentation like the one from Tailwind [1] or MDN [2]. Writing good and intuitive documentati

Yes, that is indeed a common problem. You can run Docker in rootless mode [1], which probably works for 99% of your development requirements. For production it is not always a good choice, as some features may not work properly (most impo

Your program needs to be able to output its version (e.g. with a --version CLI option), and with setup.py I could at least parse __init__.py. The pyproject.toml file doesn't do that, so suddenly I have to maintain two version numbers.

I know commitizen and it doesn't do that. It enforces particular forms of commit messages, but it does not bump versions in Python projects.

by slhck 4y ago
This is really nice. The only thing I'm missing here is a simple way to bump versions. Any ideas on how to do that? For Node, it's quite simple and even built into npm. Also the version is only part of the package.json file. For P

This is really interesting. Have you published this approach somewhere? It'd be nice to read more about it.

And the issue with that is that they're using PSNR and SSIM as quality metrics, which are useful for images, but haven't been designed for video, so they cannot take into account temporal factors and how motion masks distortion, e
