This is Adobe we're talking about, their video editor can't handle multiple audio streams in standard video formats and codecs (think game capture footage with game audio and microphone on separate channels), in fucking 2019. It can tell there's multiple streams, but it doesn't detect the sizes of any of them past the first one, and won't let you use them as-is; you need to extract them from the video container and import them as audio files and manually sync them to the timeline.

And some people suggest I'm supposed to feel guilty for pirating their stuff. Hah.

Shouldn't you be asking the law makers and law enforcers that question?

If you support such laws, shouldn't you ask yourself the same question?

Illegal != immoral, after all.

Looking at the downvoted but not commented-upon comments in this thread, and specifically the content of those comments, I'd speculate that certain people find the assertions therein either too challenging to their own beliefs, or somehow offensive, but not enough to actually challenge them with a comment.

Seems like if you say the wrong thing about theocracy, or have sane and body-positive sex advice, you're bound to get some silent judgement from people who aren't brave enough to actually call you out, lest they have to actually defend their beliefs that cause them some degree of cognitive dissonance. It's likely easier for them to not question why they think the way they do, and if it's the right way for them to think/react/etc. at all, so those beliefs and assumptions go unchallenged.

Obviously this is all speculation and assumption, but if someone won't engage with you to explain themselves, that's all one can really do, for better or worse.

Thanks, seems to be chugging along fine in an MSYS2 terminal on Windows.

Now to give them better names than the numbers used by BBC. Any solutions/suggestions?

>And remember you're now dealing with a dictator. Dictators are irrational, stupid with economics, and lots of arrogance.

And you're also dealing with Xi Jinping...

He's actually saying that the fact that conditionals, loops, and variables are the 'top concepts', i.e. the most challenging they'll encounter in that curriculum, is disappointing.

Change both instances of 'suit' to 'suite'.

>The above command compile the source file into object file and link with other object files (system library) into executable in one step. You may separate compile and link in two steps as follows:

Consider changing the first 'compile' to 'compiles'. Also consider changing 'compile and link' to 'compilation and linking'.

>So how will any govt be able to stop tax evasion and terrorist simply by knowing the public wallet / ledger address?

By doing their jobs and investigating, using existing tools, techniques, and laws?

It's literally the third paragraph.
