Hello world video hub could be the new hello world blog!

But one has only to review the (very frequent) release notes for Plex to see the devil is in the edge cases, not the basics.

In the meantime, Plex has a native server app for almost everything, including NAS boxes, and native players shipping with TVs and in game console app stores. It does a good job on both playback and admin UI across a fleet of media hosts for a household of users, and the latest release unlocks hardware encoding across an array of operating systems.

There's even a portable HDD + WiFI hub from Western Digital, to take Plex Server and 4TB of media on the go w/ 10 hrs battery life, in the size of a Sony Discman.
The 4.x line of Netscape was really, really bad, on every platforms, not just Linux. I distinctly remember a small period of time, between the time when Netscape 4 came out and the time when I learned about Opera being available on Linux, when I was routinely using lynx, non-ironically, locally. It crashed all the time and had all sorts of weird bugs.
> no problem with keeping the batteries charged overnight while flying

Satellites in LEO have night and day cycles too, albeit shorter. But you have more problems with keeping batteries cool during the day and warm during the night, and also each additional gram you want to add to a satellite costs a lot of money thanks to the magic^Wtyranny of rocket equation - so you can't just spam solar cells and batteries like you could on an aircraft.

> no FAA/other countries' counterparts issues, etc.

Space is pretty regulated too; you can't just lob a piece of junk into whatever orbit you want and call it a day.
My impression is that Titan and Loon are meant to work with phones, whereas a receiver for SpaceX's thing would be the size of a pizza box. No way it's gonna be free.

Emby does, and emby also has an excellent Kodi addon.
I always laugh about these names. They sound so funny:

Butteräugli = little butter eye

Brötli = little bread roll

Zöpfli = little plaited buttery bread

Gipfeli = little croissant

Güetzli = little home-made cookie

And they even look more funny without the umlauts. They seem a little bit broken without them. Therefore:

Brotli = little bread roll but slightly damaged

Zopfli = little plaited buttery bread but slightly damaged

and so on. But this is only my personal impression.
I believe they're an acknowledgement that the system cannot be perfect and some small amount of manual tinkering will always be needed for it to always do what seems right.
Kodi supports streaming, and Yatse provides very nice mobile streaming and offline caching.
Yep, its one of the best essays I read during my undergrad, and in the era of Trump's never ending bullshit generation it has never been a more relevant a topic for study. 16 page PDF of the original article:

Performance considerations.

Telegram at idle sits at 80mb ram and <0.01% cpu. Wire for example sits at 250mb idle and waffles between 0.05% and 2% cpu. Discord sits at 200mb idle and waffles between 0.01% and 0.10%, leaning towards the latter, jumping above it every few seconds at least.
You need to want to know what is true first, to care enough to take the trouble of knowing how to detect bullshit. I think the reason why bullshit is flourishing is because those that actually give a damn are the minority. The majority is composed of the useful idiots and those that manipulate them. Of course reality is never black and white, and it is much more nuanced than I've stated here, but I think that's the general gist of things
I think everyone, engaged and skeptical or otherwise can miss falsehoods if it aligns with their values/beliefs already. Taking something like this should, in theory, give you tools to make sure that even if you really want to believe what you are reading/hearing because it aligns with your world view (or worse, comes from a source you respect and trust) then you can still determine how honest or accurate it is.
There are countless workarounds for that explored in fiction, pick any you like.
I found the linked analogy in code [1] was more helpful than this article itself.

My current window manager is pretty basic. But that's because I haven't been arsed to script up something, that would help me with window tasks. I tried double monitor for a while, but the main OSs sucked with the way they dealt with more than one. I gave up in the end, so just use a couple of workspaces and window cycle mainly. Main drive is mostly a laptop. Pointer (nub) is too stiff, touchpad is okay - nothing fancy.

I have used a gaming mouse in every computer I have worked on, company provided or not. I don't know if it looks professional or not, but after using gaming mice, going back to one of the cheap mice just feels wrong.

I ended up bringing the mouse to the office myself, and I had the same situation happen with chairs sometimes. My rationale is that I spend a lot of time sitting around so why not just get the very best I can afford?

Again, you're comparing the pre-ACA California individual insurance market, in which insurers could (and actively did) simply refuse coverage to anyone they might have to provide services to, to the post-ACA California individual insurance market in which they couldn't.

The correct comparison is to the California small group market, which prior to the ACA also had guaranteed issue. The small group market covered companies with low single digit numbers of employees and approximates the ACA individual market (less the adverse selection of people without benefits-providing employers). In that market, the price trends before and after the ACA are broadly comparable.
It isn't about identifying bullshit so much as coming up with a subjective preference set to carry out and seek out that leads to a better world regardless of the circumstances.

The beauty of Netflix and, to a lesser extent, Plex is that I can view my content just about anywhere and on any device.

Free and I pen source is certainly preferable, but I want to watch movies on my Apple TV in my living room. That's the problem I need solved. I suspect it's similar for most people.
If you just build a bigger office and fill it with cubes or desks is that really much better? The biggest issue for me in my open office was that devs feel the need to play instruments to start standups for some reason. Usually bongos but in the past it was a giant gong.

I am not sure I like this site. It uses strong language, but avoids anything controversial and provided case studies are pretty shallow.

A DSP is significantly simpler than a CPU, specially this particular bland.

The hard part is to implement it efficiently (power, area speed). So in theory with could have an open source design and the vendors could still compete with each other by providing the most efficient implementation.

That'd be great because "google" as a verb already has other meanings ("search with a search engine").
The fact that you are right about the possibility of taking other interpretations as non truth, does not mean that no opinions are simply misguided and not based on truth. In addition, there have been many articles that are simply made up, which has nothing to do with difference of opinion.
Thanks! Will definitely read this.

I got fooled by Signal's requirement of a phone for the activation and thought it was also required for normal usage, I guess that's better than Whatsapp, though being able to register and use it without a phone at all would be even better (even Telegram doesn't do this though, IIRC it requires a phone number)

Good to have more alternatives for Plex and Emby, but without having native apps for almost all architectures in use, mobile apps and Chromecast support it has quite a long way to go. But I love FOSS alternatives so keep it up!

Ino summarized most of the points that are good about 3dsmax, but I do believe character rigging for instance, is way easier on 3dsmax. The UI is definitely superior IMHO.

The latest SGU (Skeptics Guide to the Universe) podcast touched on your point, and how everyone is susceptible to false hoods particularly when those opinions make up a persons identity. Someone who identifies as 'liberal' or 'conservative' is more likely to fight facts that go against their beliefs. One possible solution presented, was to always attempt to self identify as a skeptic who is okay changing opinions as new facts come in. It is not an easy thing to do because 1) it's a lot of work and 2) you're outside of most of the big popular groups.
Your argument rests on the assumption of a sufficiently large overlap in the set of illegal and set of disturbing things they viewed.

While the best headline grabbing portion of such content moderation (child abuse) do fall into that intersection, it's a faulty assumption to construct your already-dubious reasoning that better surveillance will improve the live of the content moderators.

There is of course a difference between just studying for an exam and retaining the information long enough to pass the test, and actually retaining the information for a longer period and being able to apply the learned principles in bigger, industrial-scale projects.
To clarify: secret chats have been present on Telegram as a platform for a long time. The desktop client doesn't seem to support them though.

This often leads to people saying things like "Telegram doesn't have end-to-end encryption". Really, what they mean is that it's not the default and isn't on all platforms. Most people can use it if they want to though because it's available on all major mobile OSes.
It did none of those things. It was cheaper and had lower deductibles for young families with practically no prior exposure to the health system. But if you were older, or were a woman who had ever seen a reproductive health specialist, or had at any point in your past had an unexplained seizure, or had reported any of a constellation of 10 different symptoms predictive of a future diabetic condition (and so and so forth), the California individual market provided literally no value at all, because you were locked out of it: insurance wasn't available to you outside the group market at any price.

It's easy for insurers to provide incredibly cheap premiums when they can exclude broad classes of customers on the suspicion that they will in the future make claims.

It's also easy for insurers to provide incredibly cheap premiums when they can quietly impose low annual and lifetime caps on coverage, which they could and did before the ACA.

It's also easy for insurers to provide those cheap premiums when they can re-evaluate your coverage and rescind it retroactively when you're diagnosed with a chronic condition, which they could and did before the ACA.

My point is simple: you're not comparing apples and oranges. You need to compare the small group market to the post-ACA individual market if you want to compare like with like. The system you're comparing it to now was exploiting consumers; you were a beneficiary of it, I agree, but your benefits came at others expense.

More importantly, though, outside the moral dimension: as soon as you got your company off the ground and had to begin providing for employees, you'd have found yourself in the same situation you are now: with annual double digit increases in premiums. Because that's where most of us were prior to the ACA.
I would say that many significant innovations have been driven by the military applications. Rocket technology and drones are 2 that come immediately to mind but I am sure there are many others. Not defending the military industrial complex though.

Yes. But I get more stressed and bummed when the bugs pass review and end up in production.
I'm afraid of what the query would look like to get any results.
Yes but not to the same extent, with MS frameworks there seems to be an amount of churn just for the sake of it. Just take a look at the way we write Windows apps: Win32, MFC, WTL, VB, WFC, Windows Forms, WPF, Store Apps, Universal Apps. I may have missed some in that list.
Well, it depends on what kind of beginners you are talking about. POVRAY for learning computer graphics programming is great actually. Like, learning POVRAY and then jumping ship to OpenGL code or something.

> In this course we aim to teach you how to think critically about the data and models that constitute evidence in the social and natural sciences

I call bullshit on the existence of "social sciences". Even the best attempts at controlled, reproducible experiments were laughable, so at most we can call them "social studies".
I don't think asking for a comparison to a current offering is a bad question. It doesn't mean both can't exist. Although this kind of reminds me of Xbox Media Center (XBMC) vs Xbox Media Player (XBMP).

At this point I'm willing to give up control over my media for convenience though so maybe my opinion is invalid. I remember spending hours organizing my mp3 collection. Forget that.

edit: Apparently XBMC is now Kodi so it actually is a direct competitor.

Things like the Titan drone are mostly solar cells and batteries. It's not like you can increase the % of mass allocated to that because it's pretty much maxed out.
I agree with your final statement, in that this is the sort of awful behavior that adds credence to calls for surveillance, or at least private censorship.

The mentally taxing nature of implementing private censorship is a reason to implement more private censorship?

Yeah Linux attracts some really strange people - why, why, why do you need these monitors? Why do you need conky with your hostname? With your IP? With your kernel version?

Your workstation is not another random server you administrate, so hostname showing is absolutely not required (unless when you sit down in front of a computer you are high as hell and cannot tell it's your computer, or just too stupid to tell which computer it is)...
