I did a fair amount of indie films and know sound guys, so the part I am confused about is: what are you programming in film sound? is it per-film, or like software for film sound in general?

Quick demo: go to https://github.com/slimsag/linux/tree/5895e21f3c744ed9829e3a... then try replacing "slimsag" with "torvalds" These are "known issues" I believe GitHub doesn&#x2

Others probably have not fully realized this yet, but with GitHub one can: 1) Publish arbitrary commits under your https://github.com/my/project URL, e.g. a fake https://github.com/my/project/

Wouldn't they just not show up, and pay the $700 charge?

What do you do as a programmer in film sound? How did you get into that? Sounds very niche/interesting

Pretty sure GP is saying that making those decisions for which healthcare to get, which credit card to get, etc. take a lot of time away from high level thinking, and I’d have to agree. If I understand, your argument seems to be “just pick

I _wish_ MDN had a user-friendly contribution process. My experience has been _far_ from that. I very much welcome these changes. In late 2017, I spent upwards of 80+ hours standardizing 80 different MDN docs pages so they used the same bes

It's also not possible to build the Go or OCaml bindings with MSYS2/MinGW because of some silly assumptions in the CMake file.[0] I have an open issue describing exactly what needs to change, as well as a patch for it, but haven&#

Looks pretty cool! How would you self-compare your tile editor vs. mapeditor.org ? Where there any interesting ideas etc. that you tried in yours?

Serious question, not trying to be snide, but aren't all the American companies tracking Swiss citizens anyway? Or is there some strong enforcement I am missing

This would be a continuation of that story, where someone did investigation into the cause. The original story you linked did not have a cause mentioned/found at the time it was posted.

Most of them will because Hacktoberfest relies on project maintainers to flag the PR as `invalid` within a certain window and close it, AFAIK. Though I imagine with all the outrage over this that will definitely be changing.

Many Chinese WiFi security cameras sold on Amazon do this today. Namely Yi Home security cameras. Others use QR bar-codes, which I think is better for security cameras - but nonetheless the Yi Home ones do it through sound exactly as you de

It's also become much less accessible to your average every-day person. I remember in 2001 my brother's community college in rural America taught HTML and Flash development. Not only could you learn to make websites quickly, but y

As with many things, this comes back to DRM. HDCP in specific.

Had the researchers (unethically) published it as a zero-day vulnerability in e.g. a blog post stating "the slack payout wasn't enough for us to care" - what would've been their legal risks? I assume that would be _one_

Nothing, but if Slack was a web application and not an Electron application it would mean XSS would not immediately lead to RCE, you would need XSS and a vulnerability in the browser to get an RCE. Electron is basically that for you already

I use Unity's Blender integration extensively. It just invokes blender's CLI to convert .blend -> .fbx for you automatically, which is nice. However, only very simple material properties are imported. Multi-textured objects, ma

I also won't pretend I know anything here, so take what I say with a grain of salt. From what I understand, FPGAs provide a software method of essentially reprogramming the actual behavior of the physical circuit to perform different t

I used the ZenFone 2 for about a year ~3.5 years ago; it worked surprisingly well. It was impressive that it really "just worked" like a normal ARM device. There were some annoying software aspects (the Play Store only allowed me

I am going to miss this a lot, too. I don't think the "next big thing" here will be HTML5, though. Unity is _ridiculously_ easy and has led to large swaths of indie games on Steam - people don't quite understand just how
