Then fork it, and add your own AI slop to it.

But it won't be included upstream.

So actually "pure CSS", and not the "pure.css" library that's so hard to search for? A lot of that looks pretty good!

But no-one wants AI slop in it.

Correct, yes. You can run BeOS apps on 32-bit gcc2 builds.

This is a surprising amount of effort to not break compatibility ;-)

> I wish that there was some edict from KDE Project management telling everyone working on the Plasma desktop to spend a week in Haiku or something.

The other thing is that it says right at the start of the BeOS Book - and this is carried across to Haiku - is that you shouldn't have a spinner or hourglass. It should do *something*, it shouldn't make you wait.

> Mmm. Or improve the OSes themselves.

Haiku specifically does not accept AI-generated code.

I expect if you use AI to explain how to write it and then write it yourself that would be okay.

You need to be able to explain your work without just pasting in what Special Needs Wintermute says.

I'm not sure what that graph is meant to be showing.

Yes, but what browser is it?

What the hell browser is that?

I'm using it but it's such a pain in the arse to find anything else online about it.

It's one of the reasons I'm planning on moving stuff over to Pico.

Or now, I guess, just writing some CSS from scratch, which I hate.

What's your ten second evaluation?

I used to get in trouble doing that because I'd never look at the book.

I'd have finished it, some of them before we'd even be assigned them, and I'd read up the bit we were going to do that day, have my delivery and timing, have my voices all lined up.

Our teacher I think wanted everyone - reading - each - word - at - a - time - like - this, but I couldn't be bothered with that crap. Make the words live! Make the people real!

And now some forty-some years later, I hear my six-year-old reading his books in his bedroom out loud, trying different voices for different characters until he's got one he likes. I'm going to get so many emails from his teacher, aren't I? But I'm not ever going to tell him to stop.

It depends what you mean by "not great". Prores's compression is far better than say H.264, if you actually want usable footage for editing.

It's going to be a spreadsheet and a bunch of impenetrable PDFs, isn't it?

From the footer of TFA:

Walter Murch has been working in film for more than 50 years, as an editor, sound designer, writer, and director. He edited and sound-designed many films for Francis Coppola (The Godfather Trilogy, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now) and Anthony Minghella (The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain). His interest in science can be seen in his editing of Mark Levinson’s film Particle Fever (2013), about the search for the Higgs Boson.

Yes, That Walter Murch.

In The Blink Of An Eye is on the bookshelf just behind the monitor I'm typing this on, with my headphones and BMD Speed Editor slightly blocking my view of it.
