JSMpeg is a great product. I have used it for low-latency live streaming before MSE (Media Source Extensions) arrived in the major browsers. Nowadays the plugin-free alternatives
for live streaming are much more efficient, push fragmented MP4s to the browsers and append to a MediaSource buffer using any modern codec supported.
Thanks! A command log would be really helpful too.

The HubFlow docs contain GitFlow docs and some really helpful diagrams: https://datasift.github.io/gitflow/IntroducingGitFlow.html

I change the release prefix to 'v' so that the git tags for the release look like 'v0.0.1' and 'v0.1.0':

git config --replace-all gitflow.prefix.versiontag v
git config --replace-all hubflow.prefix.versiontag v

I usually use HubFlow instead of GitFlow because it requires there to be a Pull Request; though GitFlow does work when offline / without access to GitHub.

I can easily imagine this being a deliberate decision to make it easier for someone who uses AWS a lot to click the right tab when they have 40 tabs open.

I agree with the point that GCP feels like it has better docs and API than AWS.

Yep. Even wehen it works as exepcted it might become shitshow.

Couple of years ago I tried to install a small library (~50kB or less), and npm install pulled in 900MB of crap. I didn't expected npm to even contain so many packages back then.
Triple scammed business man goes to trial for fraud
I (and a lot of other people around here) are enthusiastic FastMail customers. Hit any of us up off-site if you are interested in a referral code (10% off). It costs money, but you get a really solid webmail experience with real human customer support. The CEO is active here on HN and posts pretty solid things like this: https://blog.fastmail.com/2018/02/14/email-is-your-electroni...

I have a strong belief that FastMail's business model is aligned with my interests/values, and they're a strong open source community member with initiatives like JMAP.
Does anyone know the technical background of this? They talk about providing a great experience for others, so I guess it's about performance. But library entries can be partitioned by users so there should be no performance effect of 100k songs per library of one user on others? Also, the current 10k limit doesn't represent much data if stored with a bit of meta data.
If you didn't care about making people happy with their experience, why did you offer a service?

To attract them onto a paid tier? Well then you lost that potential customer by being a smartarse.

Of course he knew it was free. But he took time to express his dissatisfaction directly to you. Most people would grouse on a forum and never give direct feedback.

The issue is trust.

Can you trust that the other end of the DNSCurve system is not operated by Mr. Evil? Can you do that automatically, ie, without human intervention at all?

The CA-based PKI system allows one to trust that the endpoint of a website is who they say they are and not a middlebox manipulating traffic. Additionally guarantees are available through EV certificates which also tell you who is operating the endpoint.

DNSCurvse is most likely not able to assure you that the response you got is really from the authorative nameserver. It can only tell you that it was encrypted but there is no identity assurance.

You felt rich at 105k?

We're talking about human happiness, the capacity for love, freedom, and self actualization. Happiness.

We're not talking about buying overpriced liabilities such as fancy cars, furniture and clothes.

I make over 150k and it's awful working 160 hours a month.

Think about why this study is messed up:

Wage earners spend the Best part of day typically indoors, taking orders from another person.

Wage earners send their children to be taken care of by strangers.

Wage earners send their kids to the zombie factory (public schools)

The fact is that someone with a few million can:

- take care of their own children/babies
- educate their own children
- take care of their aging parents
- take care of sick relatives
- can explore the world

Don't tell me that having 2M in the bank will not make you, your family, and neighborhood FAR "happier" than someone making 300k in wage slavery.

I can tell you for a FACT that making that much money (millions) will objectively lead to higher quality of life for people and their families.

I'm personally working hard now to accumulate several investment properties and live free for life so that I can retire before 40 so that:

- I can raise my kids
- help parents, family, friends
- explore world and learn
- focus all my free time on healthy living
- get best medical treatments

You damn right it will make me happier to be able to do yoga 3 times a day, raising my kids and also building cool shit without Having to answer to a boss.

You know it's true that lots of money makes you immeasurably more fulfilled. Don't listen to socialist lies that you only need some bullshit 105k (<75k after tax)
It’s why the Danish are always ranked the happiest. They know the government won’t let them become destitute.
Per-directory case sensitivity and WSL
Part of the point of a jury is to have multiple disinterested individuals ruling on the defendant's guilt. That in itself forms a partial test of the process.

You could run a trial with multiple independent juries, or record a trial and play it back to a set of juries and judges to see if they come up with the same verdict and sentence. This would help determine whether a given jury has a particularly forceful and prejudiced member, or if a hanging judge is handing out unfair sentences.

I'd be surprised if that sort of thing doesn't already happen occasionally. However, all this does is indicate where a problem might be, rather than validate a potential solution.

A/B testing of potential enhancements would be very difficult and limited. There are too many confounding factors. Judge and jury would have to be different each time. Witness testimony may seem unconvincingly rehearsed, or more convincingly thorough, the nth time they give it. Defendants will be able to avoid incriminating traps the prosecuting barrister set in previous iterations of the trial.

Then use another library. Is that a fault of npm or node that people developing some libs don't know what they're doing? The point here is that ecosystem allows your package to be one 'npm install' away from the user. The fact that you choose to tangle yourself up from complexity is no one's fault but yours.

(for the record to me 900MB seems like a grossly overestimated number, I would request a link on that)

Quite obviously Google is investing to push tensor flow to mass audience.

As an ML programmer with deep aversion to Google products I have never jumped from Apache spark, deeplearning4j to tensor flow.

What's the general consensus regarding tensor flow in the ML community?
I think because tech is well off compared to other industries, tech workers delay a certain type of adulthood maturity. This isn't functioning in society maturity but the maturity of finding and knowing your place.

To the young everyone has high hopes for you mostly because they want that energy and drive. At a certain point however you aren't valued based in your individual technical contribution but your ability to support existing narrative structures.

The shock from people feeding you your own narrative heroes journey to expecting you to kiss ass and support existing stories is specific to tech because of the relatively new and parallel "journeyman engineer" career path that tops out around 300k. The remaining paths are the thought-leader/genius path and the traditional corporate man.
I agree. I think Norvig is right that interpretation and understanding may be inherently probabilistic problems, but the accuracy of statistical models sure seems to just be a matter of "playing the odds"; correctly performing some task doesn't imply any real "understanding" by the model. If the system had "semantic grounding" as you call it, that would go a long way towards disambiguating during interpretation & understanding tasks.
Playlists are completely different. Already had this within Europe, if you like music in a country you should sign up for Spotify in that country. Music availability can also differ.

So could be possible if you like music commonly listened to in Latin America and don't use Spotify's playlists. Otherwise I'd pay more to stay with the service of your home country.
it was one of async/await precompilers. I do not remember which one, I tried all of them, except this one which I removed right after npm install.
That may be true, but the government still lies about what people will be able to take out, just like Madoff. Social security has a massive unfunded liability. This means that one of three things happen:

* Benefits amounts are reduced for everyone (In my view, this is probably the fairest option)

* Retirement age is increased for everyone (I personally hate this option, but think that it's the most likely)

* Benefits become even more means tested than they already are (and they are, even though people claim they're not -- high income people get far less per dollar in than low income people) (In my view, this is probably the least fair option)

If you're under 50ish and you're counting on Social Security, I think you're making a judgement error. Especially if you're in the upper income quintile. Everyone that's in the top 20-25% needs to be putting the maximum allowed amount into their 401(k) every. single. year. If you can't save around 18% of household income in a 401(k) or 403(b) due to the limits, save after tax (unless, of course, you plan on working until almost age 70).

Personally, because I put a lot into my 401(k) I'll be much better off in retirement than I am now if I actually get Social Security and the pension that I've been promised by my megacorp, but since I'm 36 and all of the boomers are working on retiring, I'm pretty sure that both will be bankrupt.
Same here. It took 15 minutes and it works great again.
Source? Reasoning? Data?
Sorry, I meant empty cars. Even though that would create a job market where you pay people to sit in a car to avoid taxes (hire teenagers for that?), so maybe just tax cars by miles driven instead of on a fixed basis.

The only reason we don't tax by usage is because we don't have the data. If cars have that data, it would be by far the superior system. Why tax someone driving 100mi the same as someone driving 100k miles?
There are multiple competing models of the early universe. We now have increased confidence in those models in accordance with this new observation, and decreased confidence in those models that are at odds with the observation.

In particular, this new observation constrains the nature of dark matter (lower particle mass than expected and "highly non-relativistic").
I assumed they meant largest economy?
That might work in theory but I doubt it'd work in practice. You already now get Google Maps congestion of small roads that happen to be the fastest according to Google maps. I don't think vendors will be able to develop a fleet that intelligently coordinates routes. Especially because that'd make routes of some cars slower, not something people would accept.
Google's ML crash course with TensorFlow
People play Nintendo games for the game mechanics, not the story. Zelda and Mario are both about rescuing the Princess and defeating Bowser/Ganon. That's the Alpha and Omega of the story. Some details might differ, the exact how and why might differ, but its the same.

But the reason it works is because when Nintendo releases a new Mario or Zelda game, they also change the way it is played, introducing new challenges, dungeons, puzzles, and mechanics throughout the game, and they tend to do this part really really well even if the cast of characters is largely the same from game to game.

Sometimes that isn't the case, the NSMB series really could just disappear and nobody would care at this point, but that doesn't mean Nintendo can't introduce original ideas.

Yahtzee, for his part, cares mainly about two things. Is the story good and is the game fun? The story doesn't always have to be groundbreaking for him to be having fun, but it is a lot more fun for him if it is a good story because oftentimes, that's all he really wants and a lot of the things that make games fun for other people, don't necessarily do it for him. Saving the Princess over and over again also just doesn't do it for him, and I can respect that, but when the writing is really good, he can even enjoy that part of a Mario game. Just check out his Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door review.

Appimage can solve some of these problems, though it lacks a central package manager (but there is no reason we couldn't have one).
If you use Cloudflare, they should still handle attacks and caching. For the origin server, I can't imagine any scenario where you'd get a lot of growth from the immediate attention. How are more than a few thousand requests per second realistic? It's not as if the whole world would suddenly constantly check passwords. And if you use his API for 3rd party services it'd make more sense to open source it so that others can use a local copy.

> To that end, "just use a VPS or a cheap dedicated server" sounds a whole lot like the middlebrow thing we're supposed to not be fans of around here.

I know that we're supposed to all be fans of AWS and everything as a service. But in reality I found simple VPS (can be Hetzner, OVH, AWS, Google, whatever) to be faster, cheaper and less prone to downtime (as most downtime comes from software rather than hardware anyway).
Yeah I copied and pasted the RPM snippets on their install package, installed them and had it up in no time.

110 million people died between WW1 and WW2.
You can set up 3 VPS and use Cloudflare's load balancing or a solution by someone like DigitalOcean? That'll still be cheaper than using Lambdas and block storage.
Because of cost we use very constrained microcontrollers; every byte literally counts. In the end it really matters cost wise (in mass production embedded every cent counts as well; using a high spec mcu just costs more) but we had to rewrite from C to assembly to get a few more kb for features in the flash. C++ or Rust are generally not good for the cost of materials.

>If you don't live and work adjacent to a train station then you can take a full and timely train during peak hours, but how do you get the rest of the way once the people get off the train and their paths diverge in twenty directions?

To get to the train I walk about 10 minutes from home.

Once I get off I take the Tram Line 4 or 6 one station, then switch to Tram Line 1 for another few stations.

>Even if you do live and work near the train, if you work the late shift and leave between 2200 and 0500 you're waiting two hours for a train every night.

I'd time my clocking out with the train so I would ideally only arrive 10 minutes before the train.

>And if you start operating mostly-empty buses to cover the rest of the people then you're back to operating mostly-empty buses.

It's not a bad thing to operate mostly empty buses as long as the full buses can compensate for the efficiency loss. And they do.

>There is actually a solution to this but it has almost nothing to do with cars and everything to do with building more taller buildings near train stations.

That solves it for new locations but existing locations will continue to face the same problems.

Especially the inner city where I live cannot build larger buildings or become any much denser. The inner city is too old and the design does not permit skyscrapers with efficiency.

Having train routes to and from major infrastructure hubs and using buses and trams to distribute into the city can get you within a 15 minute walk to and from any destination or origin. And it's cheaper, safer and more efficient than clogging up the city with cars or skyscrapers.
