Changing The Captain would be like Jim Henson changing Kermit the Frog. No, no, no.

That's what I use -- the Speed Editor with the "Cut Page."

AFAIAC "nodes" are a feature of Resolve, not a bug.

The "Cut Page" has been a godsend for me. I'm going through about 1500 hours of footage right now and that editing mode is the only thing that has made my task even remotely possible for me to pull off.

I bebop back and forth between Blender and Resolve and, yes, Blender has made some great improvements but I STILL have sound sync issues on 3.3. Otherwise, Blender is pretty good - but I prefer Resolve overall.

One thing that Blender has over Resolve on Linux is the ability to import ANY mp4 source video. Stupid licensing issues prevent Resolve (and even the paid Studio version) from doing that.

I've seen quite the opposite. A good percentage of people coming from Premiere or After Effects feel burnt for all the years they spent in the Adobe suite. Just in stability alone is Resolve leagues better. The "batteries included" feature set is not only comprehensive in all parts of the video production pipeline, it is world class in many of the specific categories it competes in.

I've typed this before but I'll type it again here. About 10 years ago I ran the local Python Meetup group here in Phoenix. Intel had/has a big presence here and one of they guys who worked on the Atom team (doing compiler optimizations for that chip family) told us (at one of the Meetups)Intel corporate didn't like how good a processor Atom was shaping up to be. They were worried it would start to cannibalize their desktop and server processor lines -- so they did everything possible to cripple its development.

He and his whole team were furious.

As soon as people own any modern EV most of these problems prove to be overblown and, in fact, are not even true.

You are actually being too kind IMHO.

Most of these compose files are pretty outdated AND they depend on non-standard builds of containers for each respective application.

I highly doubt it. It Struggles on GPUs with 6GB or less.

WSL2 only supports Nvidia and, specifically, CUDA for rendering... not OptiX.

Not really.

There are (and always will be) people who see no good in the Internet. I played a small part in its growth in the early 90s and even I have pangs of regret over what it has become. AND there was a lot of grift and lawlessness in the early Internet -- that is what paid the bills at first.

However, at the time I was able to articulate all the ways moving X, Y and Z to the Internet would make things better -- for hours on end -- and I would 'win' those arguments. OTOH, all my crypto crazed associates have trouble doing that same thing today. For years, the argument ended up being "I got in early and now my 'investment' is worth X amount." It has been an end justifies the means proposition.

In the end, the Internet was judged by its exponential growth and adoption. There was a mad rush of, arguably, useful activity going on... for years. Everything I wished for and pushed for back in the day has come true -- monkey paw curse and all. Bitcoin's use has actually gone down afaict, the market value of it is the only metric people care about.

I was just there for the first time in two years. Based on all the comments here on HN, I expected to walk through a hell-scape. After spending a week, mostly on foot in the city... a lot of this talk seems overblown.

The PWA for Zoom when I tried it on my Chromebook was horrible, FWIW.

I have not been following PWAs that closely but I do recall when Zoom starting using them for ChromeOS last year -- horrible stuff.

When I had my little ISP on Phoenix, AZ back in '93, EVERY new customer received a softcover copy of the Cuckoo's Egg.

After getting access to the beta, combined with all these HN posts -- I've determined DallE2 is neat but no where as great as the initial samples made me believe.

I remember going to a convention in 2005 for retail store software and I was amazed that Delphi dominated as the platform for POS systems.

Years ago Google announced that Phoenix would be a market for Fiber but then (like Google does) bailed.

As soon as Google announced, CenturyLink and Cox both put the gas on their fiber rollout here in the PHX metro area. When Google finally cancelled the rollout about two years later, CenturyLink/Cox noticeably decelerated their fiber plans.

I'll wait to read it when it actually comes up but until then I have to say when I finally got access to the DallE2 beta, I was underwhelmed. The mini-Dalle, while not as good in the image fidelity department, is much more fun.

Nope, GM total f'd everyone.

Linux succeeded because of these reasons:

1) Over time it changed and morphed to include every feature people wanted. It started as a 386, single core kernel whereas now it supports every processor and 1000s of cores.

2) Linux always had the least amount of friction to get stuff working. Back in the early days, trying to get any rando program to compile and work on SunOS, AIX, HPUX, etc -- it was a touch and go / pain the ass process. IF your system had a compiler, you were probably missing any number of dependancies. Linux, you could always get stuff to compile and work.

3) Desktop - Yes, the "year of the desktop" hasn't happened. However, the 30+ years of trying has yielded the best options for a *NIX based environment.

I'm 50, live in AZ (where home schooling is very popular) -- I didn't homeschool my kids but many of my friends did. Here's what I have seen:

1) If you are non-religious, the canned curriculum, trade shows, support groups are very few and far between. You will be much more lonely than your religious home-schooling counterparts.

2) As your kids get older, it is harder and harder to give them a proper education. By the time your kids are in middle-school, subjects get harder for a parent (or pairs of parents) to cover in a way that does each subject justice.

In the end, most of my friends who home-schooled eventually sent their kids to middle-school and or high-school... and that timing seemed about right.

The only reason I give people like you a pass on hating on Blade Runner is I, personally, can't stand The Matrix -- which has made me a pariah with my peer group for over 20 years now.

This combined with Corel Draw, PageMaker (for Windows 3.0) and WordPerfect 5 (for DOS) ruthlessly ruled my world in '90.

I love Blender but NLE functionality still isn't there yet. Basic things like keeping audio in sync with video breaks all the time. I had to switch to Resolve for my little projects. I will continue to evaluate Blender, but for now it still isn't ready for primetime.

The little ISP I started back in '93 used the Mix DB for our accounting system. We wrote a Perl lib for it (that was turned it into a client/server type architecture.) It was GREAT.

I was driving to Las Vegas with my father (in my Model Y) and I was telling him, "I've never experienced this so-called phantom braking..." A literally 3 seconds later I experienced it and few times later in the next hour or so.

Last time I looked the whole dev over SSH was not supported by VSCodium.

Is that going to change in the near future?
