Even the paid version doesn't include aac support in Linux so you have to transcode the audio from videos recorded from your phone, with ffmpeg for example, prior to opening them with resolve. That's the biggest inconvenience it has for me in Linux. And plugins can't solve that either, because apparently can only add codecs for encoding, not for decoding.

This is a small helper for running Cut-the-Knot Java applets locally.It handles the published classes archive and lets you work directly from the original Cut-the-Knot page URLs with appletviewer.I ended up making it after trying to use the applets myself and realizing the old workflow was still more cumbersome than it needed to be.
Just a nitpick. Rust's char is really a 21 bit unicode scalar value (a code point without surrogates) using a 32-bit representation and indeed there are a lot of invalid char values in a 32-bit space. Utf-8 is a different encoding format for code points using variable width (1-4 bytes per).
I agree in that the meaning of prove in that context is "put it to the test" but for me it doesn't go as far as finding the rule incorrect, because it's a general rule, not an absolute rule. A lot more exceptions would be necessary to make the rule incorrect for the general case.
The key difference is that this is a multidisciplinary conversational interface, and a tool in itself for interrelating structured meaning and reshaping it coherently enough so that it can be of great value both in the specific domain of the dialog, and in the potential to take it on any tangent in any way that can be expressed.
Of course it has limitations and you can't be sleep at the wheel, but that's true of any tool or task.
That's exactly how I see coffee, and I keep stopping taking it and then coming back every few months...
You can do a handy struct wrapper over a private Nonzero that xors the given value with the prohibited value (max in this case) at the new constructor. And like so for the get method. Xoring is very cheap. That's my favorite way of storing indices/links for nodes, since you can wrap them in Option for free.
I found that the stripping of the libc made impossible for me to manage signals that didn't exit the program. E.g. Sigint worked fine as long as the callback didnt return to the caller but e.g. trying to use Sigwinch or sigcontinue segfaulted and I never found a way to make that work from scratch in this type of binaries without linking to libc... I wonder if that's even possible.
Rust macros can be used like that:
let hello = dbg!{ dbg![ dbg!("world") ] };
And I'm sure they also did crazy useful complex things with rope, strings, fibers, textiles and skins.
I was thinking Spain, it describes the situation here perfectly.
Very pretty. And to relate it somewhat to the topic: 1/27 = 0.037 repeating 037 and 1/37 = 0.027 repeating 027 :)
My favorite combination is Mint + Xfce + openbox as the window manager which leaves the CPU at 0% when not doing anything, and is very responsive and versatile. I had to setup separate dark themes for each one but now it looks good.
The only thing I don't like is thunar freezing often when doing long blocking IO operations...

What do you think about internet browsers like Firefox and Chromium?
That must be without stripping. Also there are ways to reduce binary size. See e.g. [min-sized-rust](
https://github.com/johnthagen/min-sized-rust). I've gotten stripped binaries of small cli utils less than 400KiB without doing anything special, less than 150 KiB by customizing profile settings and compressing with upx, and less than 30 KiB by replacing the std with the libc as the link shows. Haven't tried with fltk though...
Having both approaches available would be better IMHO. Builder pattern is very nice but I frequently miss having named arguments too. Even if macros can partially fullfill that need, it's not the same and introduces more quirks and complexity...
I really think this paper should be more widely known, because it's eye opening:
https://physicsdetective.com/something-is-rotten-in-the-stat...It made me realize QED is the equivalent of a million lines spaghetti codebase that's been continually built upon, fudge after fudge since the 40s, while being sold as the best thing ever, the ultimate model of reality, etc. While it really started as a temporary solution like a bash script that should've been replaced by something more elegant... many decades ago. And now we are in this mess.
it reminds me of some adage for surgeons in training: see one, botch one, nail one.
we don't even need to be able to calculate everything, we just need to fool you!

I'd love to see a dynamic raytracing of a high resolution 3d scan of this picture or another masterpiece. I doubt nobody has attempted to do this before.
another crappy experience with a Dell xps15 9575... the feeling of a laptop built to quickly auto desintegrate, with crappy components, bad BT/wifi module, very unreliable touchpad, butter screws... everything sucked ass. I remember also not being able to use the laptop 90 degrees on its side to see a movie for example because the keyboard would stop working and the fan would start to run at max speed. that was the worst laptop I've ever had and the most expensive too. never again dell for me.
after that I bought a custom 14 inch laptop in pcspecialist back when they still had amd ryzen models (Ryzen 7 4800H 8 cores, 64 Gb ram, no preinstalled OS...) which is the best laptop I've ever had in my entire life. It's been complete opposite experience in terms of enjoyment and reliability, with very few issues using Linux (my only complain the inability to put to sleep, because it messes up the video after waking up even with the latest kernel).
this will become more obvious as time passes, specially after November, but for whomever is ready now to explore beyond the intoxicating veil of pervasive propaganda and censorship in the space, this article will prove itself useful for connecting crucial pieces of information and perspectives that can tear apart many preconceptions and falsehoods:

... in Spain too, were called disquetes.
that's wonderful news! I'm hoping to be able to use this data structure in the near future using rust, so this helps a lot. thank you so much
then would you mind opening an issue in the first repository so that it can have a chance to be fixed?
