@mjmcodrington This reminds me, I was curious if you were going to continue your excellent series? I wish more math lectures online had your kind of production value.

Khürt, I can feel your pain. I know that SNAP just made a recent major release that changed a lot of it's code base, so I've been half purposely waiting to update while they work out some of the kinks. I'm just about to download the most recent and test it out on a server before I upgrade to the latest version on my production site, since the old version is still doing a relatively good job and it's a lot of overhead to update/upgrade going into the holidays.
There's a frequent phrase that many in the chat will use: #ManualUntilItHurts by which they mean try doing everything manually to work on getting the output and workflow to work the way you want it to and only then try automating things based on your manual experience.
There are many ways of doing syndication, so before settling on one, try doing things by hand for a bit while you're testing out other potential options. I often find that even though I've got automated means of doing things very quickly, I actually often prefer the manual methods sometimes, particularly when it means I know exactly what the output will be. With POSSE you'll find that with some of the automated means, the easier it is to set up, the less options you'll have for control, while the more control you get means a much more difficult set up.
Try a few options and then go with what works for your needs until it drives you so crazy you have to change it. In the meanwhile, documenting the issues and problems either on your site or in issue queues will slowly help things get better.
In the end it can't be much worse than people who are syndicating their Facebook content to Twitter that simply shows up as just the raw https:/
@vboykis They had to do it for Magic Mike because the production costs were too high to market it as an art house film.
@Mercy They seem like completely different products to me.
Known is a CMS which allows you to own your data, then publish and syndicate it to multiple platforms (including uploading to Anchor). It doesn't have any audio creation or editing functionality. I have seen people using this and WordPress lately for small personal microcast "channels" which can be subscribed to or syndicated out to other social platforms.
Anchor appears to have some production and publishing tools as well as a distribution platform of sorts. It looks like the material you publish to your own station can be listened to for 24 hours, but then disappears unless you archive it to your account privately. Fortunately you can export your audio with a little bit of gymnastics, but it's not intuitive. This seems more like an ephemeral audio version of snapchat to me.
I'm curious what you're looking for in a minipodcast? I'm considering something shortly myself and have been looking at Anchor as well as Opinion2, Spreaker Studio, audioBoom, tryca.st, and even others as simple as using my LiveScribe Echo pen to record and then distribute via my Known or WordPress sites.
@cswordpress @redcrew Thanks for the recommendation Amanda!
I'm guessing you installed PressForward directly on your production server without using a test environment? I can tell because all of your posts are trying to redirect, but are redirecting to themselves! It's a known bug I mentioned here: http:/
Until then you may want to go to the settings and set the redirect time to "0" which will prevent all of your pages from continually re-loading OR you could uninstall it from your production site and run on a test server.
I've been loving it since I installed and can't wait for the forthcoming patch. I'm curious what others think of it for the off-label use I've proposed.
I know this was fixed in a prior version, but it looks like it's slipped back in again in v3.0.2?
Perhaps it was fixed in one of the dev versions I downloaded from Github, but it's not in the production version on WordPress.org at the moment.
An addition to the list: a stunning cameo of the interior of the Peabody Library in Hollywood Pictures/Caravan Pictures production Washington Square (1997) directed by Agnieszka Holland.
Another television show for the list: The Johns Hopkins Science Review (1948-1955). This is also particularly notable as being the television debut (October 8, 1951) of actor and alum John Astin who now heads the JHU Drama program and for whom the eponymous theater in the Merrick Barn is named.
For those suffering through Head of State, you should know in advance that the Shriver Hall backdrop doesn't appear until the very end of the movie and then plays through the credits.
My reply to: Daniel Tung's answer to What do people think of Cesar Hidalgo's thesis in Why Information Grows? - Quora https:/
I've read his book and think his views are more nuanced than you posit. Shortly, I hope to write a longer review, so for now I'll add some more nuance and some facts to the comments above.
I think Hidalgo would disagree with the criticism of his view in part A. I suggest you read his first few chapters to better tease apart how Hidalgo (and even Shannon himself) viewed information. In Shannon's original paper (in the second paragraph!) he totally divorces the semantic meaning of the message and only considers the mathematical portion of the information. Hidalgo follows along with this premise (page xvi in his introduction), though he doesn't go as deeply into the semantics of the example you've given, primarily as the target audience for the book is the mass market rather than specialists. From a thermodynamics perspective, the system under consideration was never just the Bugatti (which is the view Daniel is taking), but the system is the larger universe which includes the Bugatti, and all of the potential people in the societies which might encounter that Bugatti, including the New Guinean Highlanders who might view it as relatively worthless.
As for the criticism in part B, Hidalgo on page 105 queries us: "Are iPhones Californian, Chinese, or Korean? With the dismemberment of production, the nationality of products no longer makes much sense." Here Hidalgo takes an external view of everything, which is much more sophisticated than the simpler viewpoints he takes earlier in the text in which he looks at individual economies with respect to each other. Here Daniel's criticism simply suffers from not having all the facts or examples Hidalgo provides.
