Knowing very little about the low-end micro-controller manufacturing economics, isn't there some kind of lower bound limit where the marginal cost of the chip itself is utterly dwarfed by the cost of the pins and packaging?

Sure, a 32-bit chip is bound to be bigger than an equivalent 8 or 16-bit one, but e.g. the pulpino project has designed a 32-bit one using only 11.6 kGE. Not very much nowadays. For comparison, according to someone from Atmel, the AVR core is 12k gates, and megaAVR is 20k gates (https://www.embeddedrelated.com/showthread/comp.arch.embedde... ).

Since your service works 24/7, your service seems a lot better than Clarity.fm, and your revenue cut is quite reasonable. I hate to nitpick, but you've got a typo on your home page at "receive you earnings". Best of luck!... It looks like you're going to be a big success.

The ffmpeg commandline tool is ultimately just a frontend to all the internals.

So understanding how everything works internally will translate directly to a better grasp on how to use ffmpeg at the commandline.

Even though this document is very new I now understand why fiddling with the PTS value in the filtergraph would slow down/speed up some video I was tinkering with a while back, for example.
Isn't that how it works for most complex systems? It can be hard enough to learn a complex system well enough just to use it properly, let alone try to recreate one from scratch. So, for the most part we don't.
You can slaughter a lamb painlessly and still serve its head. It's nothing more than making more visible what's been going on behind the scenes every time you eat meat. Yes, you're eating a dead animal. It was raised and murdered just so you could eat it.

But to me that video with the frog being skinned alive is just needless sadism and nothing else.
Readability I would argue is a matter of taste here, so not a very strong argument.

As for the second thing, I'd agree, but instead of introducing an operator, we could make the helper a built-in feature.

>I think it's not just Sweden or Finland, most of Europe has socialized healthcare and birth is one of the things that come free.
AFAIU in general you pay for stuff like private rooms or such.

I can confirm this is the case for both Italy and Spain.

But I have to say that sometimes, even if the National Health Service does provide for free[1] a given cure or analysis (or assistance to birth), in some cases they may be not fast enough (not for the actual delivery, but for some exams/tests) and there are private services (hospitals, diagnostic clinics, etc.) where sometimes you need to go, paying out cash (or - it is now becoming more common - having a dedicated insurance).

In my experience these - though not actually "cheap" - are anyway a fraction of the costs they I have seen mentioned about the US.

While the average income in Italy and Spain is lower than the US, the cost of these services is proportionally much, much lower.

A problem - common enough - has been in recent years the increase in the number of Ceasarian sections, even when there wasn't any need for it, allegedly (but it has not been actually proven) to increase the reimburse to the hospital by the NHS (SSN in italian) or by the insurance company, or to limit the legal responsibility of the doctor in case of complications.

[1] Actually almost for free, there is a complicated system where depending on your income level you may pay a part of the cost.
If the state was paying and your mother wanted to pay out of pocket nothing would stop her. Elective course of action is not banned in any single payer system that I know of.
Aren't you doing the same thing by applying "feminist" and "marxist" labels to the people you disagree with?

You're equally attempting to define my opinions and positions for me. So many of these arguments revolve around strawmen, on both sides.

I never understood the outrage against video secrely taken by taxi driver Fawzi Kamel. One can clearly see Kalanic was actually pretty humble, well behaved and trying to answer his questions. But Fawzi kept making accusations after another, cutting him off, not letting him answer, being very rude and just not listening. Kalanik’s argument that he was running a business was a legit. I just think people would have blamed Kalanik no matter what he did or said.

Taking sabbatical was his definitely big mistake. But with his parents situation he was also at the weakest point which VCs took full advantage of.

Overall, I am firmly in Kalanik’s side. Stupid VCs always want to get rid of founder who is in to long term and replace him with someone who would get exist fast. Kalanik was media’s punch bag for things he didn’t intended or even didn’t do. But world needed him, industry needed him. Without him politicians and unions would have eaten away any such companies before it became bigger. Lyft is now ripping fruits seeded by Uber. Without his audacity, Uber wasn’t possible.

This is not the same problem. Syntax is only a way of writing the same code in a different way.
Looks interesting, but TBH I'm still waiting for full swagger spec generation. It should be easy to go from grpc->swagger to generate REST client libs. Unfortunately in practice the swagger generator has many holes in it making it useless in several use cases. So... without being able to generate swagger specs it looks like gRPC is no use for a large number of use cases. Shame really since it has promise but still seems half-baked.
But all of these can be replaced with readable code that doesn’t need a comment to be understood.
To me, it's a shame (and a sign of where media and culture are, right now) that the drama around pronouns and feminism are what people are jumping at with him. His teachings on the ideas of self identity, motivation, and the redefinition of religion as a system of archetypes and hierarchy are far more interesting and grounded in fact.

> Does this not seem absolutely absurd to anybody else?

It is obviously an insane way to run healthcare. But for the majority of US citizens, they've never experienced anything else. So this insanity is considered totally normal to them. Medical bankruptcy isn't just a thing, it's an expected outcome of any major illness -- medical bills are the most common reason for bankruptcy in the US.

If the US just switched to a proper universal national healthcare system (like say, a clone of UK's NHS), for even just one month, America would never go back to the way it is today. Not suggesting that UK's system is perfect, but it's so much objectively better than the US system that there would riots in the streets, if anyone suggested going back to today's US system.

Which is why we see so much lying about how terrible socialized medicine is, and so much money/time poured into preventing Americans from learning/experiencing it in any way.

You can define a debug version:

const pipe_debug = (...args) => args.reduce((prev, curr) => {
console.log('pipe debug; curr:', curr, ', prev:', prev)
return curr(prev)
})

and when you want to see intermediate results of a `pipe` call, you append `_debug` to the name.
Taxes formulated like this tend to be regressive, since people with lower incomes tend to spend a higher proportion of their income than people with higher incomes do.

I would hypothesize that we measure our free time in boredom. With smartphones in our pocket and the internet always available, we're rarely bored out of our minds any more - there's always a distraction to be had. So we feel like we have less free time and thus less time to spare for others.

The threshold you pick is the result of a cost/benefit analysis weighing ease of understanding against whatever the benefit of that feature is.

In the case of the algorithm, I'd want to know how much faster the complex one runs or how much better its results are. If the answer is, "a fraction of a percent" in both cases, I probably don't care, unless maybe I'm Google and handling enough volume that a fraction of a percent matters.

Not referring to "grit your teeth and be fake polite" which I've noticed many people do.

And absolutely not use crap like sarcasm to deal with the situation.

That's because we treat software very differently from most other content subject to copyright.

As in this case, (reading the above threads) there's confusion as to the no commercial use clause extends to the content or the outcome of its processes. That is to say, NoCommercialUse for a book clearly means for derivative works. Nobody would ever suggest you can't read a book while in a commercial establishment. But in software we routinely place use restrictions on the end-user. Kind of bizarre, when you think about it.

US has a lower tax burden than almost all OECD countries except for Ireland.

My specific test is, find me a developed country with lower unemployment rate, lower taxes and higher birth rate than US.

I’ve spent a large portion of the past month working with ffmpeg. We are using it to repair, concat, and mux an arbitrary number of overlapping audio and video streams recorded via WebRTC. While this sounds straight forward on the face of it, the interplay of filters and controls is impossible to predict without extensive experience.

To my knowledge ffmpeg is the only tool that could possibly do this. It took a whole lot of reading man pages, bug trackers, stack exchange and various online sources to stitch together the necessary info. This seems like a great resource to learn what the tool is really doing and skip scrambling for information so much.
>Well, police cars are driving around all the time. Tireless electronic eyes look out of the vehicle for plates, and records of every single one are made: timestamp, location, etc. The vast majority of the data collected is on people who are not suspected of any crime. But the data can be misused in innumerable ways.

And - as a side note - whenever there is information stored (and poorly protected, i.e. "always") there is a good chance it will go in the hands of someone that is not the police or government.

There is the known case of the Oakland Police ALPR, which data was initially available through public record request:

http://records.oaklandnet.com/request/8562

Now the data is not "public record" anymore, but I wouldn't be surprised if - one way or the other - data harvesting companies would be able to get a copy.

So I am not saying that a newbe will do a better job than experienced experts. I am saying that we will not have many experienced experts without seeing today newbies making mistakes.

Taking on Peterson's own postulations related to the co-evolution of the biological and memetic aspects of humanity (which in general I would agree with): I think the push to a what would otherwise be called a 'religious sensibility' can be --- and often is --- clothed in scientific language.

Stuff like this is also why I can't take seriously any pro-surveillance argument, because clearly the NSA is very non-serious about it, too.
