There’s a video of an EF5 tornado from the last 24-48 hours that shows continuous lightning in the background. There hasn’t been an increase in background cosmic rays, so likely the mechanism for lightning generation is likely a continuum i

It was a joke. It went over your head. And under. And around. Sorry, I have boundary issues.

Of all the fascinating things that I’ve seen, there was a Moscow TV station rebroadcasting CNN during the Gulf War. My memory is hazy, and I accepted it as-is at the time, but the idea that American news could be watched live shortly before

Cook’s Illustrated continued to have black-and-white photos in the inside of the magazine up until the late 2010s. It seemed to be a stylistic choice that kept the focus on the cooking lore and knowledge rather than making the magazine abou

Thank you for the clarification. It’s hard to not be cynical as a passenger with no experience in this environment.

There’s also a halo effect when support extends for a longer-than-typical product life that gives a sense of commitment to a platform.

The Luminator MAX 3000 is an interesting hybrid between a flip dot display and an LED display. I find it very pleasing to the eye and easy to read, particularly at night. In front of the flip dots is a frame that has a mini-LED that faces a

I missed the heyday of reading Byte in vivo as it came out, but the creativity of the covers always stood out. The artist had to come up with a concept, paint it, and get it all ready within a month. As a non-creative, that’s an impressive

Follow-up to this: there is indeed an option. Extremely nitpicky, but it doesn’t do Apple’s sweet fade in/out when it takes over the second monitor.

Minor quibble, but I loved the mechanic of FCP taking over a second screen as a full-res scrub monitor. It made the computer feel like an appliance. I think the Kdenlive option is to move the scrubbing monitor window to the second monitor.
