That's odd. K12 isn't a term that's really used in either Australia or New Zealand, as far as I'm aware. (Born and grew up in NZ, have now lived in Australia for 20 years).
But then again, my involvement in the school system has only ever been as a student and a parent. Maybe it's a common term internally.
There are a whole bunch of reasons why I'm not looking at the Windows video editors - but the simplest ones are:
* Linux is my primary desktop environment (and has been since the late 90s). I can use Windows, and am perfectly comfortable doing so, but switching to it means dropping out of what I'm currently doing and rebooting, which is a pain I'd rather avoid. * Video is not my life. I only occasionally want to do anything with video - usually as a project with my daughter. Kdenlive works pretty well (apart from the crashes) but the infrequency of my usage makes it very hard to justify spending money on a commercial solution - even without adding the annoyance of switching to Windows to actually use it.
To add to that, I have in fact tried demos of some of the more popular entry level Windows based video editors, and none of them in the ~$100 range were really all that great. Maybe the $500+ range has some truly brilliant software, but again, I'll never know because it's not worth it to me. (And I do spend money when I'm going to get value from it, but Music is my real hobby, so Sonar Producer and various Softsynths are where my commercial software dollars go)
* No waveform view for audio tracks (how are you supposed to sync audio and video?) * No per-clip markers, only global markers. (How are you supposed to find points of interest and sync points in clips before dropping them on the timeline?)
In addition, a useful feature Kdenlive has - that I don't know if Openshot has - is the ability to use unrendered Kdenlive projects as clips. Which means you can create extremely complicated projects, and then only have to do one final rendering at the end. That way you can work on individual scenes separately, then combine them in a master project.
It's pretty much the best open source video editor out there. It has the right mix of ease of use and functionality - they just need to work on the flakiness. Every now and then when I have need to do video editing, I've looked at the alternatives, and Kdenlive - crashes and all - is the only thing that ever actually does the job.
The commercial Windows based editors may well work a lot better, but I'll never know, because I'll never use any of them.
If his argument was that ffmpeg's entire philosophy and way of working wasn't what he wanted then your response would be valid. But no, his entire reason for utterly discounting it was one - and only one - bug. Maybe he had more reasons, but the only one he felt worthy of sharing was that one bug.
if you want your application to be portable you cannot make use of any features of any particular desktop environment.
So basically you're saying that in order to be portable, you don't use non portable features? That's a revelation...
There's very few non portable desktop features anyway - most stuff gets picked up by all of the environments one way or another. I can't even think of any desktop specific feature that would make an application unusable in another environment...
He's not quibbling over a temperature, he's pointing out a blatant lie. Musk doesn't make any claim in his blog that the temperature had any real effect - the original writer made that claim, and made a big deal about it despite it being a lie.
So you're advocating for less representation, not more?
Or do you think you can go all the way and switch to a direct democracy? Which, logistics aside, would turn every voting age citizen into a politician....
It was similar on Saturday. Heaps of stories about how parts of Sydney might reach _38_, and meanwhile Canberra quietly breaks 40.
But of course, it's forbidden to ever mention that Canberra is consistently hotter than Sydney in summer, otherwise people might forget the unassailable truth that Canberra is always freezing cold.
Yes, I would love to find a 9" ultrabook. I don't mind the price being in Ultrabook range if it gave you the decent CPU, SSD and battery life of an Ultrabook, in a size that you can actually carry everywhere...
The EeePC901 was the best netbook ever made. Not only did the later ones miss the point by going to 10" and putting in a spinning disk, but they also reduced the quality of other components like the webcam.
Unfortunately my 901 died, I'm hoping to find another, but it seems that no one that has one wants to sell....
For a replacement, I considered a tablet - in particular an ASUS Transformer, but Android wasn't going to suit my needs (Proper multitasking where the application doesn't randomly close when the OS decides it needs to, and support for all the keyboard modifier keys - ctrl, alt, etc), and it looked like the Linux ports to it were too hit-and-miss to guarantee success. I then considered an Ultrabook - either an 11" zenbook, or a Macbook air, but apart from the significantly higher cost, 11" is just way too big. An 11" laptop you can carry most places, a 9" one you can carry _everywhere_.
No checked exceptions put a massive burden on the user of your code.
Checked exceptions should only be used when 1. The exception is likely to happen in normal use of the method. 2. The calling code can do something sensible to deal with it.
If it's not likely to happen, then there's no point enforcing immediate handling of it. A generic top level exception handling routine will do. Likewise, if the immediate calling code can't do anything about it, then it's just going to have to pass it out a level anyway, and at that point your Exception is polluting someone else's API, resulting in tight coupling. Either that, or they wrap the exception anyway - probably in an unchecked one, effectively making your checked exception pointless.
Equipt probably isn't exactly standard these days (I use all those other -t words, but would still use equipped), but it's hardly "newspeak ebonification".
It didn't, and the police even said they have no real problem with it, but would appreciate being told about caches in urban areas so as to avoid this sort of misunderstanding in the future.

Maybe you can't, in which case, there's no problem. Why is that so hard for people to understand?

That's a stupid question, and the only people that ever ask it are trolls that think they're funny.
The rest of us either use Linux on the desktop, or don't. Personally, I've used Linux as my primary desktop environment since 1998.

I hadn't seen Lightworks before. Will try it out.

No, the norm when forking is to do so because you don't get along with the maintainers...
Linux has been on the desktop for as long as there's been an X server. Is it on everyone's desktop? No. Does that matter? No
if you want your application to be portable you cannot make use of any features of any particular desktop environment.
So basically you're saying that in order to be portable, you don't use non portable features? That's a revelation...
There's very few non portable desktop features anyway - most stuff gets picked up by all of the environments one way or another. I can't even think of any desktop specific feature that would make an application unusable in another environment...
That's right, they should all use sensible names like "Skype", "Yahoo" and "Google", otherwise they'll never catch on.
I'm sure it'll be fine....as long as the front doesn't fall off...
Just remember that the same person that wants to build this, also declared that Greenpeace was a CIA plot to destroy Australia's mining sector...

Wow, if outsourcing can get us 4 hour response time, how quickly can we do it?

Now, if half the population starts using "equipt" to mean "equipped", then it will be added to the dictionary.

In fact, Wikipedia says they only exist in the Americas (USA, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands).
Yes, that's technically "Multinational". But it's definitely no McDonalds
