NONE OF THESE CLIENTS ARE VERIFIED BY ME FOR SECURITY OR ANYTHING ELSE! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

NewPipe fork by polymorphicshade, which includes SponsorBlock support.
LibreTube (still in early beta)
A web browser with uBlock Origin (or another ad-blocker; Enhancer for YouTube has one build-in, but uBlock is universal and more powerfull, in addition to allowing to also remove non-advertisement parts of the website, like the top shelf with recommended tags / search querries), Enhancer for YouTube, SponsorBlock and [Return YouTube Dislike](https://

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;

Quicktime + Hangouts Recording

Scenario: You want to talk with someone over google hangouts (like for a user study), and you want to record BOTH:

	import numpy as np
	import sounddevice as sd
	from scipy import signal
	import time

	def sacred_frequencies(duration=10, sample_rate=44100):
	"""Generate sacred frequency harmonics with OM oscillation and 777 Hz"""

	# Time array
	t = np.linspace(0, duration, int(sample_rate * duration))

	// https://davidpiesse.github.io/tailwind-md-colours/
	//
	//Notes
	//
	//All colours are generated from Material Design Docs
	//Colours have a base, a set of shades (50-900) accent colours
	//In addition a companion set of contrast colours are included for colouring text / icons
	// Example usage
	// class="w-full bg-red-600 text-red-600-constrast"

	After automatically updating Postgres to 10.0 via Homebrew, the pg_ctl start command didn't work.
	The error was "The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.6, which is not compatible with this version 10.0."

	Database files have to be updated before starting the server, here are the steps that had to be followed:

	# need to have both 9.6.x and latest 10.0 installed, and keep 10.0 as default
	brew unlink postgresql
	brew install [email protected]
	brew unlink [email protected]
	brew link postgresql
