[racket-users] Any information on whether/when Sixth RacketCon videos will be available?

2016-10-17 Thread hashim muqtadir
The videos for the live streams are available on youtube but they aren't as clear audio/video-wise as the individual talks videos are for older RacketCons are. The website does say they will be made available; I just hope that plan did not get scrapped, did it? -- You received this message

Sure. So, I should warn you that its still very unstable and very experimental. But you can find the current state of the code here: https://github.com/LeifAndersen/racket-video The render function is in render.rkt, and takes in a video object (in core.rkt). At the moment it is similar to

Hi, Sierra changed the way applications need to be signed, so if you have an old installation of Racket 6.6, it won't work. We've since uploaded a new 6.6 installer that is signed for Sierra at http://download.racket-lang.org/ The pre-release builds for the upcoming 6.7 release should work

Hi Hashim, Do not fear, the videos are coming! They take some time to prepare, though. We need to do some post-production to splice in the audio capture (the camera's audio is not as good as we'd like), and splice in the screen capture (or slides, when that wasn't available), to make sure

Yes, the videos are coming along and will be out soon. It is taking a bit longer to get them out this time because I created #lang video, which is a Racket based DSL for video editing, which will hopefully make putting them out in future years faster. ~Leif Andersen On Mon, Oct 17, 2016 at

Okay, so maybe I had some altimeter motives with making this DSL. Namely: 1. The existing pieces of software Asumu and I used in the past were buggy and crashed every 5 minutes. 2. We don't really have the budget to buy a video editor professionals use. (Although I could be wrong about that.) 3.
