Question for videographer/designer Twitter.

If I’m looking to paint a wall for my backdrop is there a preferred kind of paint I should use?

I’m thinking some kind of matte white color I can under light to get to a grayish tone.

I took my color chart to the paint store and found a paint chip as close to middle grey as possible, and got it in matte. Works well! It's the dark wall here.

I finally added a COC to my comment section for my channel. I actively choose to only go to and support events that have code of conducts, so I'm bringing that ethical policy to my own community!

This is an excellent idea! 👏

Macbook Air w/ Apple Silicon review (after 2 days):
+ I wish they made a 12"... feels SO MUCH bigger/heavier than the 12" I upgraded from.
+ Keyboard is 100x better than the 12".
+ The thing I notice the most is NO FAN. It's so quiet.
+ Fast, zero lag. Nothing slows it down.

If they make a 12" version I'm going to have to get it. It's my favorite size!

Hmmm. I’ll look into that. Default form message perhaps? Shouldn’t be there.

👍 very cool though, can't wait to see what you've got in the works!

Tons of people have asked me to build and sell my Atem Mini case design but I've haven't due to the current design and time. That may be changing soon...
Created an email list to keep folks updated: https://dslrvideoshooter.com/atem-mini-case-updates/

why does it say "Fitness tips coming your way, every day." when I signed up? 🤔

Thank you! We should ping @Blackmagic_News support for this probably. Default color profile isn’t great (even for video from camera (too punchy and contrasty).

I don't actually know anything about color profiles on mac. Does that come from blackmagic or apple? how do they get added to my computer? WHERE DO THEY COME FROM 🤔

@aaronpk hi Aaron! Qq - do you tweak color profile for ATEM mini when you stream your computer screen using ATEM. Default color profile butchers colors big time. welp!

If you're on a mac, try the one with the really long name that has "SMPTE" in it! I keep meaning to do a proper calibration to make my own but this one seems to do okay.

@aaronpk Ah right! Thanks for the quick reply. Makes sense with regards to community management, wanted to just understand the possible underlying technicalities that carry those bits and get a head start.
As much as I read/consume specs, I am unfamiliar with the IETF process in general. I'll try to find a way to stay +cc'd on any related discussions, if they're held in the open.

Thankfully the IETF is one of the most open processes! The "official" discussion happens on the mailing list (yes, old school) https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/oauth and there are also periodic meetings throughout the year. I keep a listing of them up to date here: https://events.oauth.net

Anyone is welcome to join, there's no formal membership application or fee or anything.

@aaronpk Hey Aaron, following up from the #apconf2020 talk you gave, I think you briefly mentioned a concept of "dynamic scopes" or something similar. Where can I find the latest information around that?
Context: Working on `apcore` framework for building federated apps in golang, have long wanted to include OAuth2 as a foundational inclusion for the framework (and apps built with it). I'm having to fork another library anyway to add support for PKCE, might as well look at dynamic scopes too.

It's still a bit rough around the edges, but that work is called Rich Authorization Requests https://oauth.net/2/rich-authorization-requests/ and it is more about defining a framework for structured scopes and will leave the specific definitions up to extensions within particular communities.

Nope. Not in this case. The order was broken up into multiple transactions (by Amazon). The invoice only had a single value for tax and another for discounts. Only way to get to the right # was to take the sub-transaction, calculate its tax and subtract the overall discount.

oh gosh I forgot about tax... no sales tax in Oregon so all my transactions are a lot easier to find!

Go to your orders,
Click "open invoice" for all orders within range you are curious about

Look at the bottom for card transactions and you will find the amount that hits your bank. At that point you have a bank tx that roughly aligns with a subset of the order

unideal

yeah also if you keep the email shipping notifications those usually contain the dollar amount charged and have a link to the orders, so searching email ends up being the fastest. I've gotten in the habit of keeping those emails around for this now.

Hey @AmazonHelp - I should be able to tie a bank account transaction from amazon back to an order. Instead, I've spent over an hour on chat support trying to track it down.

ugh yeah this is the worst, when they run a transaction for multiple orders or partially fulfilled orders, so the dollar amount doesn't match anything in your order history!

what was the difference? You needed one line to use it, and had no control over how much trash gets downloaded.

One requires installing software on your computer, the other requires only a text editor.

Not saying hotlinking 3rd party JS is a good idea, but it was a lot more accessible to experiment and learn that way.

Finding reusable JavaScript components to drop into projects was so much easier when everyone was using jQuery

Remember when the instructions for using some random JS library was include this <script> tag and not npm install randomthingwith100dependencies
