So, tonight's goal is to continue with ngscopeclient performance work.
I started out by doubling the speed of the eye pattern *again* by moving index buffer calculation from CPU to GPU.
Next up is going to be getting the 100baseTX decoder to not be so slow. Right now of the 43 seconds of CPU time in the current 1-minute benchmark, 26.9 is spent sampling the MLT-3 waveform on rising edges of the recovered clock.
The thing is, we already *know* the sample values at the re…

OpenAI's red lines within its DOD agreement are built upon legal language that the NSA has redefined over decades to permit the things they appear to prohibit (Mike Masnick/Techdirt)

Our Christmas tree didn't drink water this year. It's been pretty much dead for the past 2 weeks. Every time you get near it, needles fall off. It's been quite a mess.
Today was the day it came down. I really wasn't looking forward to having to pick needles out of everything we own between the living room and the door for the next year, so… I went Full Dexter on it. (And it actually worked.)

Dead tree dropped needles
A 10’ x 12’ tarp laid out on the floor next to the victim… er… tree.
The tree, bundled up in the tarp, needles fully confined to the living room.

Grr and argh.
The people who make government websites generally tend to do a halfway decent job of meeting the spec, but they really really need to learn to push back when the spec is FUCKING STUPID.

The U.S. is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939
—six years into the Third Reich and just before the start of World War II.
"…nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training."

The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards.

I'm trying to type the word `part.revision` in our wiki because this is a database field I'm trying to document.
It keeps #autocorrect ing this to `part. Revision` because it thinks I'm actually starting a new sentence and am too stupid to add the space and capitalize the first word.

Jules Winnfield (played by badass Samuel L Jackson) in Pulp Fiction in the "Say that one more time, I DARE YOU" scene, where Jules has his hand cannon aimed at Brett's head and dares him to say "What?" again.

I was unreasonably giddy when I stumbled across the real-time discussion of implementation of a feature I use regularly in Shotcut — the proposal, the math, the initial implementation, and then how it evolved into the feature I use.
There's something so cool about seeing people nerd out about stuff and seeing development happen in the open.

Audio Alignment Implementation
This is not a suggestion of some feature. I plan to implement a functionality that is already on the Road Map. But I would like to discuss, document and, if possible, get support from volunteers. I am not really familiar with MLT and Shotcut terminologies. Feel free to correct things (this post is a wiki). The “MLT only” part has been accomplished. All we need now is to integrate it in Shotcut. I (André) plan to wait until the next release because people are busy with beta tests, right n…
