I'm a parent. I've read that there are professional concert pianists who started learning piano at ten or even later. If that's the case, why do people start their kids at younger ages? Finger coordination, general understanding of things, etc., are much more advanced in a 10yo. Isn't that more efficient?

I use the built-in Emacs cursor commands for moving the cursor in plain text areas, but I wanted ctl-f/b to move by word, and it works. Shift-ctl-f/b for modifying a selection (ie highlighting) refuses to work for some reason, however. Here's what I have.

Has anyone had any success with this?

{

"^f" = "moveWordForward:";

"^b" = "moveWordBackward:";

"^$f" = "moveWordForwardAndModifySelection:";

"^$b" = "moveWordBackwardAndModifySelection:";

}

It's on Amazon, but the product description doesn't indicate whether there's a booklet, a commentary track, or what. It does tell me very helpfully that the movie is in color and that it's made by "Liosngate" Pictures Entertainment.

Was wondering if anyone here has it and can tell me what's on the disk.

Here's why Criterion has to put this out - include the 148-tweet thread that started it all and the Rolling Stone article by David Kushner. The tweets aren't available because the real Zola has her account protected because apparently all she does now is Onlyfans. Interview her. Get a commentary track from her.

It's a great movie, currently on HBO but "leaving soon." The music, the cutting, the film grain, the colors - I haven't seen anything like it in a while. American nouvelle vague.

I'd be willing to rent someone's MiniDV player to do this. I have the setup other than the camera. Thanks!

Sé que es un apellido catalán y que la pronunciación "correcta" es la catalana, pero los españoles no hablantes de catalán han de pronunciarlo de alguna manera, y quiero saber qué es.

Me interesa específicamente cómo lo pronuncian en círculos académicos en cuanto al filósofo Ramón Llull.

I have a box of old mini DVs that I want to transfer to my computer. Is there a model of player that is most recommended on this subreddit for that purpose? Thanks.

There was some discussion on here about a year ago about the rights to that and EYES WIDE SHUT being acquired by Criterion. EWS is out now, but any word on the other?

EDIT: For the curious, do a search of the title of the book, even just in this subreddit. You'll see the warning.

The fucking hotel just robbed me of $100.

What steps can I take to get my money back?

I know buttons might be in different places, but is all the basic functionality the same? Or is the new Affinity totally different?

WARNING This solution is somewhere around a 5 on a 0 to 10 scale of non-techie to techie. If you don't feel comfortable in the terminal, I wouldn't try it.

The problem was the OneDrive app from the App Store. I deleted that one and installed the one from MS website.

This causes a conflict even if you select "use existing OneDrive folder" or whatever the option is called during the installation process.

Specifically, in /Users/[your-user-name-goes-here]/Library/CloudStorage you'll have two OneDrive folders, one with a (2) after it, so you'll have to rename them.

Rename "OneDrive-Personal" "OneDrive-Personal-old"

Rename "OneDrive-Personal(2)" "OneDrive-Personal"

You'll have to sudo both moves.

Then make sure the symlink to $HOME works with this:

ln -sfn "$HOME/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Personal" "$HOME/OneDrive"

Obviously, back everything up before doing anything.

I know it's a stupid question, but it does seem a little weird that you get a $300 discount when you buy the camera first but not if you buy the camera second.

EDIT: in fact come to think of it, not offering a discount on hardware for people who paid for the studio license is a disincentive to buying the hardware. Imagine if you paid $300 for the license and then the BMPCC4K only costs $700 instead of $1000 (which is the situation if you buy the camera first) - that "discount" would be a huge incentive to buy the camera. But buying the license first essentially punishes you if you decide to buy the camera later, because you'll have wasted your money.

I understand that my MacBook's screen isn't good enough for professional work, but I'm not a professional. Presumably monitors these days get pretty close to accurate colors (we no longer live in the era of grandma's pink TV), so it would be nice if the subreddit's wiki included a section on "good enough" solutions for non-professionals, explaining how to best calibrate your monitor, any reasonably inexpensive tools to use, etc.

I thought there would be a FAQ but since there isn't I'm asking here. Thanks!

I'm sick of listening to intervals and clicking on my phone. I'd like to do something more rigorous. Ear Master and Auralia seem to be the main academically adopted programs.

I'm not married to those two, obviously. If there are other programs that might be better, I'd like to hear them.

Thanks!
