Because it isn't, but you're close. This high school is New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois. In Sixteen Candles, the two high schools used for a mixture of exterior and interior scenes were Niles East and Niles North high schools, both in Skokie, Illinois. If you'd like to get even closer, you can mention Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which had sections filmed in Winnetka itself (the Realtor storefront, Ferris' Dad driving home from work, one of the beaches, others), although I don't think there are any shots of New Trier in the film.

As long as you admit your opinion is nostalgic, you're good! :-)

I actually made an entire video about this subject: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opmRo8JlqtyWoWg.htmlsi=jGOU1jg8_GmuA45j

FFMPEG can create the individual frames, but it isn't capable of color ordered dithering, only color error-diffusion dithering which ruins the output.

@@JimLeonard The *paletteuse* filter for FFMPEG supports bayer ordered dithering. Eg., *ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i palette.png -lavfi paletteuse=dither=bayer:bayer_scale=2 -r 1 frame%d.png*

@@nst1nct Thanks! That definitely didn't exist 10 years ago when I was writing the code. Unfortunately, I just tested it, and it produces much worse results than Photoshop's pattern dither. Joel Yliluoma has done a great write-up of various color ordered dithering methods; maybe someday I'll write that into the compiler so that people can just feed it 24-bit color bitmaps.

60p is common vernacular for any video presenting as 60 progressive frames per second, regardless of lines of resolution.

I find it funny and wonderful that parents of autistic children can almost immediately recognize other autistic children (as well as parents of autistic children). Sam was diagnosed PDDNOS at age 6 and has presented as typical autism since age 2. I wish your family the best of health, patience, and humor.

@@JimLeonard You and your family too Jim. My 12yr old daughter is high functioning like me and very much interested in the demoscene and low level hardware banging so i’m encouraging it a great deal! 😀

Her age has been in dispute for many years, as her age is an extreme outlier even among supercentenarians. The prevailing theory is that her daughter assumed her identity, and herself happened to live to age 99.

@@JimLeonard That's the prevailing conspiracy theory 😄

I've always found it fascinating how parents of kids on the spectrum can so easily recognize other people on the spectrum. Thanks for the kind words.

That's on the way; takes about a week after the nymphs come out of the ground before they start trying to mate. I've still got a few inches on Sam :-) Max, on the other hand, is 3 inches taller than I am.

They're harmless. Easy to pick up.

If you lived in cicada country, you'd have to burn your entire yard, multiple times. Not a wise thing to do! :D

Is what still available?

Actually... there are two slower PCs. One was a clone that runs at 3.58 MHz, and then there's the PCjr which has an extra wait state in the first 128K RAM, so code running in the first 128K of a PCjr runs at half the speed of an IBM PC.

In about 20 years, definitely.

@@JimLeonard Hmm with the way things are going with AI nowadays (nearly every week there's some new AI story on the news (NBC Nightly News) that shows amazing (and sometimes scary) stuff. It's my opinion that soon, maybe in 10-15 years or so, consumer GPUs will be powerfull enough to do away with Z-buffered scanline or raytraced graphics rendering techniques, and use a pure AI approach instead, with graphics that look %100 real... I also think it's just a matter of months or years before you can go and see the "Toy Story of AI" in the cinemas, with AI rendered graphics...

Ah, I see you've never worked in a movie theater before! Any attempts to ask people to deposit their trash in proper receptacles is usually seen as a challenge by teenagers for how much they can do the opposite. I'm sure you're right that the noise is deafening. Most of the example footage showed them using it after hours when all the workers were gone :⁠-⁠)

Speaking of audio, this video sounds suspiciously tampered with! Wasn't there supposed to be background music accompanying the (now robotic-sounding) announcer? :/ EDIT: It started to sound normal around 6:42...

@@JFD62780 It was that or KZfaq take the video down, which I'm thinking of doing anyway
