The technologies listed aside from the Enigma were largely actually British (I say largely because Canadians were deeply involved in some cases)

Whatever humans are descended from existed during the time of the dinosaurs

If you go a bit farther back, we all ultimately come from the same lizard-like amniotes, newly emerged onto land from amphibious ancestors. It just took dinosaurs and mammals a little bit to evolve out of the "four-legged monster with teeth" body type.

LTT are fine. I would strongly consider their products if they had any warehousing in Europe to make shipping here cheaper.

Yeah I don't see any problems with their stuff. It ain't exactly cheap, but a large part of that is their work in making sure you aren't just getting some random 2 dollar trash.

Europe simply does not have enough known oil reserves to put a dent in current prices even if it exploited them all.

There may still be good arguments to do so anyway, such as it being less carbon intensive than importing oil, but there is absolutely no magic lever we can pull that would fix this problem that we're just not pulling due to renewables legislation.


Britain could start extracting oil from its European fields instead of just buying the same oil and gas from Denmark. Sanctions could be lifted on Russian oil. Duties could be dropped. There are levers.

> Sanctions could be lifted on Russian oil

I'd rather freeze.


There’s very little oil and gas left in the UK part of the North Sea

The Tories granted over a hundred licenses for exploration in the last ten years and so far it’s led to the supply of one months gas consumption

The guardian would say that to be fair

So do you have evidence that those North Sea licenses produced more oil and gas?

The Guardian’s report is based on someone else’s research, they didn't just make up the story… they’re not the Daily Mail…


Sure just send the continental german army straight for the oil fields, worked out great last time.

That’s actually pretty cool, I’m surprised there’s skateboarders that still use VX1000s or whatever instead of moving on to GoPros etc

Older cameras have a certain "look" that can be hard to manually reproduce. I've been considering getting an older digital (maybe DV) camcorder for exactly that reason, I find that "look" very charming, and it makes it look more like what I associate with a "home video"

It looks like that project is dead, some googling turned up this one which seems active and popular

https://github.com/pyav-org/pyav


They are not comparable, ffmpeg-python just abstracts away the CLI, pyav is a low level binding of the ffmpeg libs.

It may seem "dead" but ultimately it just helps you build CLI commands in a more sane way, the CLI interface to ffmpeg has been consistent for a long time. Only thing that may change is individual filters which you can just give raw to ffmpeg-python.

I remember when I was heavily using it last year I found a fork that seemingly had more sane typing or something but since LLMs last year didn't know about the newer lib but could write decent ffmpeg-python code I stuck with it and it did the job.


Separate from this policy debate I think you’ll find Australia is a country where the right frequently wins actual majorities of the vote.


> Separate from this policy debate I think you’ll find Australia is a country where the right frequently wins actual majorities of the vote.

Isn't that basically every democratic country?

We can't judge how "right" or "left" the political culture of a country is by how frequently the right or left win office, because in the long-run they tend to win office roughly equally often just about everywhere.

A better way of judging this question, is how the policies of their main left/right parties compare to those of their counterparts in comparable countries


Run ARM64 Linux and install Rosetta inside it. Even on the MacBook Neo it'll be faster than your 2020 Intel Mac.


The US simply has more numerous and more important companies that rely on being able to freely export their services globally. The leverage here is with Europeans not only because of this asymmetry but because there is also more political appetite there to punish America than there is in America to punish Europe.


Apple has a motion sickness mitigation feature that displays dots on your screen that move based on physical motion, so it’s fairly well known that the accelerometer exists.


That's for iOS devices though


https://support.apple.com/en-om/guide/mac-help/mchla3c4f1da/...:

“Vehicle Motion Cues

Vehicle Motion Cues may help reduce vehicle motion sickness while using a Mac and riding as a passenger in a car or other on-road vehicle.

To customize Vehicle Motion cues, click Customize Appearance, then set any of the following options:

- Pattern: Select Regular for a stable and predictable pattern of onscreen dots, or Dynamic for a more engaging visual experience.

- Color: Select a color of onscreen dots. Color saturation will automatically adjust to maintain contrast with the content behind each dot.

- Larger dots: Turn on Large dots to increase the size of the dots that appear onscreen.

- More dots: Turn on More dots to increase the number of dots that appear onscreen.

Note: This option is available on Mac laptop computers. It’s not available on MacBook Air (M1) or 13-inch MacBook Pro (M1) or earlier.”


It’s also for macOS
