Davinci Resolve is a solid video editing software that's available on Linux.

I remember reading this when I was in high school out of curiosity. Thanks again for writing this (and many more), Beej.

This is impressive! You've sold me on the product, and I'm excited to see how this product develops over the coming months and years.

It should at least have:
* A keyboard that doesn't malfunction after half a year's worth of usage
* A physical escape key
* Additional USB ports

Same here. Taking magnesium L-threonate and melatonin before going to sleep has improved my sleep quality like nothing else.

Where are you getting your median tech salary of $300k from? That figure seems awfully high to me.

I've had a good experience with Mailspring. It has a clean user interface and sets of key bindings that are similar to email clients like Mail.app, Gmail, and Inbox.
Re:BuzzFeed launches a new website for its real journalism
on Wednesday July 18, 2018 @11:41AM (#17559374)
I understand that serif fonts are a long-time darling of the newspaper industry, but it's a bit jarring (if not curious) to see the word "BuzzFeed" with a serifed typeface.
Re:Walmart may launch a video streaming service to battle Netflix, Amazon
on Wednesday July 18, 2018 @11:28AM (#17559282)
It may be more prudent for Walmart to enhance user experience on Vudu, their movie renting/purchasing service, and add streaming features on it down the line. Why launch a new service when you can use preexisting infrastructure?

I wonder if this new policy affects international data usage at all. I've been sticking with Project Fi largely due to how seamless the data roaming experience has been for me.
Re:Abe Passes Controversial Bill Boosting Japan Surveillance Powers

In Japan, copyright law can't be enforced without the complaint of the rights holder.[1] If you have some spare time, I'd recommend reading the Copyright Law [2] for the powers that are legally provided to the rights holders and specifically, "Measures Against Infringement" [3]. They're quite fascinating.
Disclaimer: IANAL, much less a Japanese legal scholar.

Suing doujinshi artists (or cosplayers, for that matter) for promoting the copyright holders' materials would be in bad taste and would likely drive fans away from the copyrighted material. Considering the reputational consequences and low "reasonable royalty" damages from suing individuals, copyright holders don't have much incentives to shut these conventions down.[1]

It's worth noting that in Japan, copyright violation is a criminal offense rather than a civil offense and can constitute up to 10 years in prison.[1] Even downloading copyrighted materials is a criminal offense there.[2]
