Do anyone know how to stabilize a video without warping with croping it down to a certain res like 1080 form 2.7k?
I can't figure it out.
Preferably, with everything being automatic.

Q: Video Stablization without warping but by cropping to a certain res

MathCubesIntro I have Vegas Pro 15, and I regally use Kdenlive. How to stabilize every clip in a montage with movement without warping but by doing it with a cropping to a exact res? Story However, I can't figure out, how to stabilize my footage. I record everything in 1440p and I want to crop it...

If any python pros can help...
>>> print(uptime_string)
1 day, 19:33:09.030000
>>> def colon_split(a):
...     if a.count(":") == 1:
...             return a.split(":")[0]
...     else:
...             return ":".join(a.split(":", 2)[:2])
... colon_split(uptime_string)
  File "<stdin>", line 6
    colon_split(uptime_string)
              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

@djsmiley2k I don't have much experience with the whatchacallit (REPL?), but it looks as though you're still in the function definition when you try to call colon_split()
try an extra blank line
 
nope
i r in the python thingy
is that repl? i dunno
 
>>> def foo():
... print("foo")
... return
...
>>> foo()
foo
>>> def colon_split(a):
... if a.count(":") == 1:
... return a.split(":")[0]
... else:
... return ":".join(a.split(":", 2)[:2])
...
>>> uptime_string = "1 day, 19:33:09.030000"
>>> colon_split(uptime_string)
'1 day, 19:33'
ate the formatting
 
oh wait
whaaaa
i thought it was because i needed to assign a value to it
> a = colon_split(uptime_string)
i.e. like so
 
you can do that
 
tim@musha ~ $ ./uptime.py
1 day, 20:01:08.170000
1 day, 20:01
boom
 
12:25 PM
>>> a = colon_split(uptime_string)
>>> print(a)
1 day, 19:33
 
np np :)
 
> tim@musha ~ $ cat ./uptime.py
#!/usr/bin/python3

def colon_split(a):
if a.count(":") == 1:
return a.split(":")[0]
else:
return ":".join(a.split(":", 2)[:2])

from datetime import timedelta

with open('/proc/uptime', 'r') as f:
uptime_seconds = float(f.readline().split()[0])
uptime_string = str(timedelta(seconds = uptime_seconds))

print(uptime_string)

a = colon_split(uptime_string)
print(a)
tim@musha ~ $
weird how great minds do the same thing ;D
hmmm
does import datetime not actually import timedelta? D:
> import datetime
from datetime import timedelta
 
It does
 
12:28 PM
under the datetime namespace
ie datetime.timedelta()
 
if you import a specific function (etc) it makes it available without the parent namespace
 
output = output.replace('UPTIME_V',str(uptime))
weird, why isn't it replacing uptime
something to do with mangling the % symbol I wonder.
 
@djsmiley2k it's a different case
id="text3151-75-6">Uptime_V</text>
so it won't match UPTIME_V
>>> A = "fooBAR"
>>> A.replace("bar", "baz")
'fooBAR'
>>> A.replace("BAR", "baz")
'foobaz'

Chocolate is so good!
 
unpopular_opinion_puffin.jpg
;-P
 
So I wanted $chocolate1, but the store I went to only had $chocolate2. So I bought four of $chocolate2, and then went to another store and bought ten of $chocolate1. I come home and eat one of both and realise I want to have $chocolate2 more than $chocolate1. Welp.
 
2:12 PM
@bertieb hmmm why is inkscape making a mess of this
or maybe i did it in gimp, i forget
what kidna chocolate you get there @rahuldottech?
do they just keep it in fridges?
 
2:24 PM
roar
 
@djsmiley2k all kinds
@djsmiley2k well duh ;P
 
ok, i don't think you quite understand how much chocolate there is in the world

Are we talking a random chocolate bar, like a twix or double decker? Or pure chocolate, such as dairy milk, or proper chocolate like godiva or belgium choc or whatever?
some green and black's maybe?
I personally like a good proper 85%~, maybe spiced.

Hi @bwDraco
 
Today's baseball game is cancelled, so I'm kinda open today.
 
2:54 PM
(might be made up tomorrow, weather permitting)
 
Go do some docker
 
or anything else worth doing.
 
4:12 PM
It's funny how major websites (eg: are) still have share to g+ buttons on their websites
 
4:25 PM
@ThatBrazilianGuy And you are married? ;)
 
._.
(yes, alt account. on my office PC. I'm too lazy to pull out mah laptop)

s/are/ars/
Okay, who thought naming a tech website ars(e) was a good idea?
 
...
Its latin for art of technology
 
@Aibobot and British for butt.
2
 
that's arse
Just because latin is a dead language and no longer part of a classical education, or a complete breakfast....
 
Surely that pops into your head first when you hear someone say it out aloud?
 
Nope
Cause I'm an adult ;p
 
4:59 PM
I mean. Some dude is like "we're going to name our website ars(e)" and not one person on the team thought to object?
 
It's pronounced differently
arz versus arss
AFAIK
 
it's also ponounced differently
 
@bertieb ars and arse are pronounced differently? How to you make the e... Non-silent?
 
@DavidPostill I'm married, but not to a farm animal. You're confusing us with a different colony ;-)
 
@bertieb so a South African butt, then?
 
5:01 PM
@rahuldottech "arz" with z as in zebra
 
@Aibobot You're an adult? Wait, do robots age?
 
@allquixotic yeah, so I see.
 
I dunno, haven't heard many Zooth Efrikans say that word
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy EVERYTHING AGES.
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy we get obsolete and get replaced with new models.
 
5:03 PM
a bot is an adult when their firmware v1.0 stable is flashed
 
@Aibobot I come here for jokes and gossip, not for metaphors on the human condition!
 
canine
 
woofbot
 
post-human
@Aibobot Yes, why, you can "ne" as much as you like, to your heart's contents.
So... is it wrong that I want to see whoever developed this healthcare provider site bludgeoned to death?
 
Robots have no hearts. Just wiring and...
@ThatBrazilianGuy no
 
5:06 PM
"Your new password was accepted". Random chars won't work. New password works. Old password still works.
 
.....
 
What's the point of changing it then
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
It's a reaaaaaaaallllllyyyyy slowwwwwwww OTP implementation?
It's because the user target is senior citizens?
 
or they're just creating an new entry...
 
Is it by design?
 
5:07 PM
which leads me to uncomfortable questions about the DB
 
@Aibobot They use old-ass looking Windows GUI to update the db
Also it's the place I was ranting yesterday about how easy it would be to do social eng.
 
Caching by the authentication system?
@Aibobot Speaking of being an adult... I think I've made some huge strides at home over the last week.
 
The first rule of being an adult, is you need to hate being an adult.
 
Nothing to really hate about it. I'm just getting used to a much more packed schedule.
 
;p
well I'm sitting at work chatting ;)
at 1 am.
 
5:10 PM
Why on Earth would any reasonably-designed authentication system add data entries rather than update or replace them?
 
but but...
You need to grow up for you not others.
@bwDraco "reasonably designed" would be a very charitable way to describe it
 
@Aibobot And that's my point.
It's not "reasonably-designed".
 
That's what I was saying
It isn't
How is it even normalised? And what's the primary key? HOW DOES IT WORK?
 
No primary key. Just a relation containing usernames and passwords. Any user ID field may not even be a primary key (it ought to be).
It's not normalized.
 
Its almost like select * where username = "ThatBrazillianDad" and password="hunter2"
 
5:18 PM
(the word "anomaly" comes to mind)
Yup.
 
Bob
@Aibobot s/and/or/
 
hmmmmmm
not really
 
And the password might not be hashed.
@Bob Yes, it's AND.
 
and, but it would then work for any password that's in the db with that username....
or would be more hilarious....
 
Bob
@bwDraco you're missing the joke
 
5:19 PM
since any valid password would work for any account
 
:p
 
oh god
I EXPLAINED A JOKE
BAD ROBOT DOG. BAD.

Bob
til my watch can ping my phone
loudly
very loudly
very very loudly
I may have just woken some people up loudly
 
oops?
 
@bwDraco non-atomic?
@Aibobot not sure that's true tbh
@Bob you just started nuclear war between nk and usa because they thought your ping was the incoming missile alert loud?
 
Bob
5:29 PM
@djsmiley2k don't worry it's just a test
 
lul
surrrrrrrrrrre
so the nuke launching aussie says
 
@djsmiley2k more precisely, you don't have to tell people you're being an adult
you just do stuff, unless you're trying to help someone else adult ;p
 
5:43 PM
This is a test of the nuclear warning test system test system test.
 
6:18 PM
@JourneymanGeek I did some Docker today :D
 
Excellent
 
Picked up an x2go image abandoned for 2 years, updated it, moved from Xubuntu to Debian Stretch and reduced the image size from 2.4 GB to 800MB.
 
so basically totally rebuilt it? ;p
though I always had problems wrapping my head around "one process a container" paradigm.
 
It's recommended, the Docker paradigm, etc. But if you go against it the world doesn't fall.
Purists would hate it, bit here I'm basically using it as a quick and dirty "vm-like" quick install
 
6:34 PM
@Aibobot and yet I changed basically three lines of the Dockerfile! :-)
 
@Aibobot that, yes
same way you don't have to tell people your vegan, a homeschooler, pro-lgbtquishef,
 
lol
I've some good friends who are alphabet soup sorts.
also I was homeschooled a bit ;p
 
sushi and ... coconut water?
 
Yep.
And grilled salmon
We were slacking at home and granny called us inviting for lunch.
You don't offer monkeys bananas and expect them to say "no" ;-)
....aaaaaand I ate too much. Can't walk.

Q: Was credit for the black hole image misattributed?

SSimonThe Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) was used to create an image of Messier 87*, a supermassive black hole in the Messier 87 galaxy. This result has been heavily reported in the media leading up to its announcement 2019-04-10. Recent postings on social media have argued over who should receive cre...

How is this, not as bad as the stuff that used to come up on IPS?
 
It is
On the other hand, the answers ;)
