Not just a huge influence w/ Apple. Bill Atkinson was a dedicated photographer who did a lot to help bring the idea of sharing memories together.

He and his associated printed and sent tons of photography all around the world.

The was loved among photographers as well. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photocard-by-bill-atkinson/id3...

For anyone (like me) wondering who this guy was, he was a prominent UI guy at Apple back in the day. According to Wikipedia he created the menu bar, QuickDraw, and HyperCard.

For whomever submits stories like this, please say who the person was. Very few people are so famous that everyone in tech knows who they were, and Mr. Atkinson was not one of them. I've heard of his accomplishments, but never the man himself.

Score code on line count and runtime golf. Shorter, faster, and fastest time to completion is best.

Code that’s 4K and took slightly less time to write but runs slightly faster than code that’s 400 bytes that took another 30m to write still doesn’t get the best score.

“Busy Being Born” https://www.folklore.org/Busy_Being_Born.html , with its priceless early glimpses of the Lisa/Mac UI preserved in Polaroid photos, may be the best.

Am I the only one that is not worried at all about the camera and super concerned about microphones ? The camera may see me staring into the screen, woo hoo. The microphones will hear everything I discuss, incl. confidential information.

There is no physical microphone cover there, is it ?

Frost's poetry is famously ambiguous. Even his most famous poem, which people usually assume is about the positive attributes of a life of nonconformity, can be read from the opposite perspective:

> Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

> I took the one less traveled by,

> And that has made all the difference

Note he doesn't state whether the difference was positive or negative.

We put ourselves into the poetry, and much of his work can indeed be quite dark when read from a certain place.

My experience is that ChatGPT is dreadful at everything but the simplest ffmpeg invocations, and will often produce command lines with subtle quirks (such as "only works if the input is an even number of pixels wide").

But then again, my experience is that ChatGPT is dreadful at everything but the simplest anything.

I have been using the xstack filter for several years now.

What I do is take several diverse short video segments, like 100, concatenate them into 4 segments (example 23+24+26+27 since they have diverse lengths) and then xstack them into a 2-by-2 mosaic video.

Before, I was doing it in a single stage, but now, after some advice, I do it in 5 stages: 4 concatenate stages and 1 xstack stage.

I have not profiled/timed it so see which is faster, but it works pretty well, although I often have a lot of different weird warnings.
