Youtube has a built-in transcript feature. You can find it in the video description
JDazzle··on Rapid Brightening of 3I/Atlas Ahead of Perihelion
Just a heads up that you likely shifted into a parallel universe.. iMax doesn't exist; we have HBO Max

Welcome! I certainly hope this universe is better than your original one

JDazzle··on After nine years of grinding, Replit found its market. Can it keep it?
It's strange that their buzzwords are "to democratize programming"... isn't that already done very well with all the online free tools, documentation, tutorials, learning paths, etc?

Both AI and traditional programming paths share the same initial huge obstacle which is full access to a computer and the internet?

I'm not sure how AI is democratizing programming

JDazzle··on The FCC voted to reimplement net neutrality. Now comes the hard part
It's the Executive Branch, which is headed by PotUS

This isn't a robot in disguise! Imposter!
JDazzle··on Dungeons and Dragons’ new license tightens its grip on competition
There was a smaller leak earlier, not the full 1.1 license that Gizmodo claims to have, and WotC responded to that within 24 hours of it going online.
JDazzle··on Disney says it has more streaming customers than Netflix
Sure, yes, but Heartstopper was a risk and Sandman, one of the more bankable IPs, was kept in limbo for a new season until the last few weeks for fear that not many people would want to watch it (probably an indicator in and of itself as to why all their original shows were cancelled)
JDazzle··on Street Fighter II, the World Warrier
Literally a duplicate post that was created about 11 hours before this one.

JDazzle··on How to Escape from Immoral Mazes
Immoral labyrinths come with immoral minotaurs... how do we escape those before they eat us alive?!
JDazzle··on Strongest earthquake in years rattles Southern California
There are so many building regulations, and grants to help older buildings meet standards that were not in place when they were built, awareness and education campaigns, and built-in procedures and policies in place that a regular California resident doesn't need to let the fear of an earthquake take over their life.

California is as prepared as any state can be for an earthquake and it is constantly looking for better ways to be prepared.

JDazzle··on Toys ‘R’ Us, Back from the Dead, Will Open U.S. Stores in 2019
I've heard, "Toys for the Adult Collector" a bit when buying my toys :)
JDazzle··on Ask HN: What do you struggle with?
Finding a programming job.

I've taken classes, done simple stuff, talk about it with friends who are coders, but I just can't seem to get a job.

I've tried making a move to a programmer position in my last two jobs, but I either blow the interview, or my department holds me back cause they need me, or in my current job they tell me that they only hire level 3 engineers...

I can't find junior software engineer positions that would even interview me and it's become a thing that all I'll be good for is application support, no matter how much knowledge I show about programming and logic

edit: Thanks for the down vote!

JDazzle··on How to Tell If You’re a Jerk
At best, I'm a minor jerk.

Realistically, I'm a huge jerk according to the article. While I don't necessarily fit all the criteria for being a big jerk, the end result is still the same.

JDazzle··on Red Digital Cinema Announces Holographic Media Machine
As someone not in the industry, this is incredibly interesting to learn.

I only learned about RED after all the hype with their first digital cameras (that all the studios were helping to hype)

JDazzle··on Red Digital Cinema Announces Holographic Media Machine
While I'd like more info on what exactly the device does and perhaps see a demo, Red is not a scammer.

They are an industry leader in digital cameras of which are used to film many major movies (http://www.red.com/shot-on-red)

JDazzle··on David Lynch’s Dune – A sci-fi film by a director without much care for sci-fi
IIRC, that's how the book ended as well. To go further, Paul held on to the water and only rarely allowed rain as he knew the water itself was poison to the sand worms.
JDazzle··on Should gifted students go to a separate school?
As a most definitely non-gifted student, I wonder what the impact of removing gifted students from the school? I've seen gifted students help others succeed through tutoring or even by providing a role model for others to look up to.

I believe having a gifted student in a regular school benefits the entire school and may help them in learning other, more social skills.

JDazzle··on WhatsApp, Used by 100M Brazilians, Shut Down Nationwide Today by a Single Judge
I thought Skype only stores the last 30 days of data on their servers, while it will store every piece of data received on your local computer indefinitely (unless you delete it, of course).
JDazzle··on Wizard of the Coast asking fans to scan old books
I have a bunch of the books they want and I am definitely willing to scan them in even with the knowledge that it would be a lot of hard work.

Unfortunately, they recommend that the books be stripped and scanned page by page for "acceptable" results. That's where I lose all interest. :(

JDazzle··on Go 1.6 is Released
The front page of golang.org announces the release of Go 1.6. It has been officially released
JDazzle··on Help destroying a python app
It's in a group chat. :(
JDazzle··on Help destroying a python app
Alas, he won't.

To shed some light on this, one of the proponents of this bot also had "fun" by entering http://: in Skype the other day... that proponent was on a Mac, of course.
