The Wrong Dimension

Apple has been doing this for years. At this point it is impossible to believe they aren't just trolling the world. They never seem to know which dimension to focus on. How many years have they spent touting how they shaved 1/1,000,000th of a millimeter

Why Our Dreams Are Visual

A theory holds that dreams are a way for the visual cortex of the brain to “defend its turf” against being “taken over” to process inputs from other senses. Why Do We Dream? Maybe to Ensure We Can Literally ‘See’ the World upon AwakeningA theory holds that dreams are a

Peace in the Home

My wife has an allergy to empty spaces. I really dislike clutter. Somehow, we survive together. I returned home yesterday following a “church work day” — two of the kids and I spent the morning tossing stuff in the dumpster, cleaning out storage rooms and other such mundane but necessary tasks

SwiftUI: Does it [Still] Suck?

I used HyperCard in the late-80s and early-90s to make some fun applications and animations. It still amazes me that Myst was implemented in HyperCard. As kids, we did more with HyperCard than I've ever seen kids doing these days. I used Gtk with Perl to craft some

The Religion that Requires the Most Effort

I am, of course, thinking of Flat Earthers. There's an argument to be made that it requires a lot more faith to believe that all order came randomly from chaos than is required to believe in a divine Creator, but that's not what I want to

Mix-n-Match Church Beliefs

You've got churches that practice baptism by immersion. You've got churches that practice infant baptism. But where are the churches that practice infant baptism by immersion?? Why is there no overlap? I did not expect this to work, but I had to try anyway.... Grok actually

My Dot Com

Years ago I looked at curtisjones.com and saw that it was for sale. That might be fun to own. According to the Wayback Machine, it had been used for precisely nothing its entire existence, which was a little sad, and a lot fortuitous. The domain reseller follows up with

Where to Start

I need to post something just to get started. These things will flow more naturally with practice. I spent years posting random thoughts and life updates to my blog. But was it just my blogging, or did the whole idea die with a whimper? It certainly fell out of vogue.

YouTube Ingest by Hand (Part 6)

Google just replied to (and closed) my ticket regarding MPEG-DASH. Apparently they cannot provide any examples of their ingest actually working. "Go ask StackOverflow." Very cringe. Anyway ... on to HLS now. Question 1: Can I use AVAssetWriter to write the MPEG-TS stream? The answer seems to be "

YouTube Ingest by Hand (Part 5)

I've got the SIDX atom in place at the start of each M4F file, immediately preceding the MOOF atom. No change in the black rectangle. Hmm. I noticed in an example MPEG-DASH stream that it has a different set of "compatible_brand" values (avc1, iso5, dash)
