Hitler actually changed the constitution to get his fascism off the ground, in this case the courts are apparently useless, so they don’t even have do that!

Hungary itself is leaning quite heavily into an authoritarian vibe these days. If one were to go this route, I’d recommend taking advantage of your new EU-citizen status and find permanent residence in a country with stronger democratic traditions.

Thank you

I don’t know where you are, but here in Norway, people tend to get paid when their work is used for commercial or entertainment purposes.

Of course, very few can live off of royalties alone, but a lot of artists get a considerable amount income from their previous works.

(Edited in total, I matched the anger I felt from what I was answering to, and decided to moderate)

Any experienced union film director, editor, DOP, writer, sound designer comes to mind (at least where I’m from)

His movies doesn’t suck. He’s an excellent technician and movie-mechanic, but his apparent inability to portray humans and their connections in a believable manner puts him in the overrated-book for me.

I’d put memento ahead of the dark knight, but agree Nolan is enormously overrated.

I know quite a few people who rely on royalties for a good chunk of their income. That includes musicians, visual artists and film workers.

Saying it doesn’t exist seems very ignorant.

It didn’t stop with the camera either. In the early days, wrangling the files and setting up a functional workflow was a nightmare as well.

4K raw video before hardware acceleration was no joke!

Haven’t seen Philosophy Tube on here yet.

High quality and engaging deep dives on various philosophy-related topics. Abigail, the face of the channel is an actor and playwright (and an academic) and that very much shines through.

I second Angela, informative, chill and kinda funny

A little more context:

The exposure time for each line is a maximum of 30 ms. That number comes from dividing the amount of lines over the time a scan takes. Factoring in overhead from read-time and actually incrementing the sensor, I guess the sensor is open for maybe 15-20 ms.

As I said above, flickering sources are an issue. They manifest as periodic lines of darker and brighter streaks, kind of like venetian blinds. The LED sources I sometimes use are meant for film, so they’re either continuous, or on fast enough duty cycles so it doesn’t really matter, fluorescent sources powered from mains are from my experience most likely to mess things up.

The lights used here are continuous sources. Flickering sources show up as evenly spaced streaks across the whole image. Kind of like video of an old CRT TV.

If you like jazz piano, Keith Jarret’s köln concert is a masterpiece.

There were a bunch of issues with the venue and he ended up playing the whole thing on a broken piano.

This video sums up how the peice happened.

And this is recording

Edit: I like to think it’s a story of stacked disasters and a master artist somehow making the whole mess gorgeous.

Stream of consciousness from train of thought and dance of eternity from meteropolis pt. 2 are really good, long-ish instrumentals that kind of tell a story.

And to answer OP: Metropolis pt.2 by dream theater is a great concept album that has an interesting story to follow.

I had forgotten about maggot brain, such a great song! Thanks for reminding me.

A greedy crow is what they told me

It’s intriguing, though, who’s in front, who’s in the back, and does it even mean anything?

I’d like to see your solution in total. I’m not too familiar with the nuts and bolts, but hash set is quite a bit more expensive than a simple vector, there’s a bunch of overhead incurred when executing the hashing and placing of the data, and when repeating a few thousand times it sure adds up. My part one hovers around 600 microseconds.
