This is fantastic. I just learned the basics of Go by building an SDK for a friend’s REST API. I’ll tell you what, you want to learn a language, build a client SDK. You’ll hit so many crazy issues, you’ll be forced to learn how things work.

That said, I’ve got a long ways to go, and I’ve already plowed through six chapters of the book. Nice work!
A good test “can you smell the thing you are cooking”. If so, your ventilation is not adequate.

I’d avoid using gas stoves at all unless it was inside a lab style fume hood.

A compression algorithm allows multiple different encodings of the same underlying data - spend more CPU time finding redundancies in the data, and you can make the file smaller.

I strongly suspect that the difference here is between real-time compression that runs while capturing the screen recording, and less time-constrained offline compression during transcoding.
This isn't really a tragedy of the commons, the price of shipping containers will rise until it is profitable to return the containers to Asia. This is a classic example of markets working to allocate resources via pricing signals. The only quirk is that when there is a month-long ocean voyage involved there is some lag time before things change.
The article is wrong that all Romance languages lost the neuter. Romanian still has it.

Edit: I just had to read further :)

But I’m not convinced by the author’s argument that Romanian neuter is not a real gender.
Because schools should never have been closed. People keep talking about “the science” yet refuse to follow it when it’s been shown many times that schools are safe to open.
You're responding in context of an article which says:

> "what if I convert my screen recordings from H.264 to H.265?" Well, two things happend: My files shrink to 6% (not a type)

Sounds like the difference can be huge.
Running OpenRCT2 in a Web Browser (2017)
I bought a Pine Phone. I want a Linux phone. I don't want "open-source iOS", whatever that is. I don't care about that kind of "polish", I want access to (a good portion of) the same "Linux software library" that I use on my Linux laptops, VMs and Raspberry Pis. Plus it's nice to be able to make a phone call from it or take a photo occasionally.
It's karmic roulette - The rules are made up, and the points don't matter :-)
>but I don't think most people who buy a Linux phone actually want a Linux phone. They want an open-source phone.

Both of those are missing the point IMO. What people really want, is a phone that is on their side. iOS doesn't support open standards like Vulkan mainly because it's not in Apple's interest to support them. Not because it's in the user's interest, necessarily.

What people really want is a phone that they can trust to be on their side implicitly. The nugget of brilliance in Free Software is saying "if you do all this stuff, then the power will be so tilted towards you that you will be able to trust your software to be on your side".

People want something that's both polished, and won't [forego polish in one particular area for the sake of the company's interests/$$$].
I'm totally with you. I drink 1 (sometimes, but rarely, 2) espresso drinks every morning, and it's just joyful. I'd say 80% is the routine/experience, 20% is the actual caffeine. It's just a nice way to start the day.
Eich wasn't fired. He resigned because people didn't want to follow him.
Thanks for this clarification I will check this.
I have also been craving the same and have found myself utilizing a VM on my phone to access the OS of my liking (Manjaro KDE) and being able to do things that I definitely could not do on my phone when I was away from my desktop. I do think at the end of the day, all we yearn for is having the THE desktop experience on our phone.
A big thank you PaulAnunda !
As of macOS Big Sur, you can Export videos from QuickTime (i.e. the screen recording) in H.265, and it's faster than converting it via ffmpeg as it can leverage the GPU via VideoToolbox.

...but you still have to record-and-save it in H.264 first then reload into QuickTime, and for some reason the H.265 quality isn't great. This is still the case even when using GPU VideoToolbox via ffmpeg/Handbrake, and it's something I've never figured out why.

As an aside, for more serious recordings (and if you don't want to use paid software), I recommend using OBS instead, as it gives you a lot more recording flexibility that the native macOS screen recorder lacks.
Although I have not worked with '265 or any of the other newer codecs past '263, I suspect it's the latter --- encoders running in realtime tend to aim for a constant bitrate rather than maximum compression.

> Outside of the autogenerating aspects, are there benefits for the API consumer?

Mostly familiarity.

The OpenAPI spec and the Swagger tools are something that a _lot_ of devs are familiar with, and they integrate well with lots of other tools (We have OpenAPI docs embedded in out Confluence/Jira workflow).

That SlateDocs looks nice, but I've never heard of it before.

If I had two browser tabs open to evaluate different 3rd party APIs to consume, I'd somewhat strongly lean towards the one that used OpenAPI, because I know it'd fit in with our existing toolset and experience.
> those who have been clinically dead and then revived

Death is permanent, because of irreversible cell injury.

This ridiculous and unscientific "clinical death" redefinition (along with "brain death") was very useful to increase acceptance of organ transplants, but it somehow got stuck in the American psyche who fell in love with the idea of coming back from death through the miracle of science.
I can use banking sites on desktop. The same functionality via app require my phone to pass safety net.

Even games, social, and news apps use safety net now. Google should discourage blatant misuse of it which they don't.

If Google cared about security, they would push OEMs to provide proper security updates which none of them do.

I'll be honest here, I dislike the cancel culture with passion.

When an angry mob tries to cancel a person there are 3 things that bothers me:

1. The cancellers are judging the past actions of a person with today's values, and are judging the past version of the person as if such person hadn't had already the chance to reflect on their past actions, accept their mistakes and become a better person.

2. The cancellers are becoming paradoxically the epitome of the paradox of tolerance by destroying the ability of others to be tolerant: Agree with us or we'll cancel you.

3. The cancellers are hidden behind the anonymity that their numbers provide, so they can destroy other people's lives with impunity. Cancellers should be held accountable for their actions.
I'd probably prefer full-time WFH over full-time office 9-5, but I agree there is definitely a benefit to spending 1-2 days per week in the office. I'm hoping some more jobs with that sort of format will come out of this too.
I want a Linux phone. I want to buy something which I can just own and do what I want with it without some overlord deciding that I have violated some terms and conditions. All I need is for some basic apps like email, Maps(OSM is fine),Spotify, Twitter, WhatsApp/Telegram and my banking app to work. It covers 90% of my use cases of my phone.

In any case we all have more than one phone in our house. An extra Linux phone will give me and my family options. The junk stuff and games etc can go on my Android.
"moderation", "anti-harassment protection" ( I think that one was used for justifying action against a specific subreddit ), of course reddit would not use a term as bad as "censorship" knowing how much it would cost them.

However, I really feel to clarify that I feel that reddit is in the wrong in endorsing the action of an admin that was clearly censoring mention of their name from the news.
Without reading the details, to see a compression improvement of that magnitude I can only suspect that it is a "middle out" compression algorithm...
Addressed in the article.
h.265 makes files smaller than h.264 for a given bit rate. So an h.265 I-frame will be smaller than an h.264 I-frame. If it's a mostly static computer screen, then you can get even better encoding effeciency by using a longer GOP structure so the I-frames are spread out even futher. Of course, the trade of is seeking gets worse, but works out great for push play and watch type of deliverables. h.264 can do this as well, but it still goes back to the purpose of h.265 is to be better than h.264
Yes, but that would mean the employees that work at this out-of-the-way location would be paid less than the city centre, not that those in the centre would get paid more. The issue is that even in the city centre, the labor clearing cost isn't high enough to afford for its employees to live in the city centre. If its employees were paid less, they would have to live in even more undesirable locations -- and there is a floor on how bad living conditions can be, so a rural Starbucks' labor clearing cost would be below what would be required to live anywhere.
I've been speculating that the right place for the "why" of tests to live is in documentation, where references should be hung like citations (which may or may not be included in any given rendering of the documentation in question) supporting claims of fact. Then we can surface that any time a test fails, and find tests that no longer check anything we care about.
I have been drinking coffee for decades and usually drink about 6 - 8 oz cups a day though sometimes I drink more. That is less than the amount I drank while in college. Back then I would drink 2 or 3 12-cup carafes a day.

I like my coffee black and full of flavor. Working in the oilfield, I discovered Community Coffee's New Orleans blend of coffee with chicory. Chicory was used as a coffee substitute back in the day though it has no caffeine. It does have flavor. You can buy that from Community Coffee company and give it a taste.

If you live in the US and want to try something domestic that you may be able to grow yourself then go to your garden supply and buy a yaupon holly. Don't get the dwarf yaupon unless you want to landscape. Get the standard yaupon bush/tree.

It is the only plant native to North America that produces caffeine. It is dead simple to dry the leaves and make a caffeinated tea. It is also evergreen so you can have fresh tea leaves year round though after this year's hard freeze, the trees I have are setting new leaves since the old ones were frozen and dead.

There also vendors selling yaupon tea leaves online if you wanted to try before you buy.

I sometimes trade my cuppa Joe for a cuppa Joe-Bob (the natural name for a coffee substitute that grows in the southern US along the Gulf Coast.)

That's a purely rhetorical - not to mention simplistic - dichotomy.

When you clear away the rhetoric, can you think of a compelling historical example of conservatives not operating as if their personal exercise of privilege is the most complete possible definition of freedom, and the only one that matters - no matter the cost to everyone else?
Didn't Canonical try this with the Ubuntu Software Center and it completely failed? The top selling app in 2012 made $400 in one month. That's not bad for a side project, but you can't build a business on it.

Brave is built directly on Chrome/Chromium. You still get extensions from the Chrome store. Its underlying functionality is all chrome.

This is not accurate.

AlphaStar was nerfed quite heavily to achieve near APM parity with humans. The early version that beat Liquid-TLO had superhuman spikes in APM (despite having the same mean APM) but they addressed that later. The bot's APM is now significantly less than the best humans' typical APM, which makes it roughly fair since the bot never misclicks.

AlphaStar is legitimately good at strategic reasoning, strategic planning, responsive build orders, responsive scouting, long macro games, etc. It's not the best in the world at these things yet (only top 1 percent+ level) and it does still rely on cheese build orders a lot, but still, what has been achieved is incredible.
This is the difference between memorizing a good strategy and thinking strategically. DeepMind does the former. It's still impressive. It will still beat humans. It may still be a route to successfully address many real world business problems.

But it's not as noteworthy as implied on the path to AGI.
Hi, Maximilien. I really like the structure of the books. It starts with "what we will learn" and ends with "test yourself" and key takeaways. The structure can help the reader to really conscious in understanding the learning goals and validating the understanding.

I also always want to write a programming language book or some other technical topic book in general, which the writing process will I use as learning process for myself. But I always wonder in deciding the topic to cover. How do you decide the topics to cover? Do you start from following existing books or online documentation topic sequences? Or just write whatever topic you are interested first and structure the content afterward?
Yeah so if he re-encoded his video in H.264 I bet he would have seen a similar level of compression.
Id recommend you get yourself an aeropress. It uses a paper filter, and the coffee tastes magnificent, similar to french press for the dark roasts I love. And it leaves itself open to experimenting with different steep times and brewing techniques. Its quite fun to play around with.
A ton of people want mms support, I really appreciate your work on it. The MMS support is also one of the hard problems nobody wanted to pick up, like the camera support.

The mms stuff in postmarketOS is also still in progress as far as I know, I'm un europe myself, like a lot of the pinephone developers and mms just isn't really a thing which makes integrating these thing quite hard.

Not making any sort of argument, just addressing some facts. It's in response to "Would you trust this person to watch your children?"

That is why it's not public information. See how it only matters when it's public? Product managers certainly aren't responsible for the actions of others, either.

As a related aside, split pieces of wood--so the holder could check and see the pieces matched up--were also used as an anti-fraud device (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tally_stick). Apparently, these pieces of wood are were we get the term "stock."

In case you ever wondered why the word for an ownership share is the same word as "stick, trunk, block of wood, or post" (Germanic / Dutch / Old English), this is apparently it.

Second aside, 100s of years of such wooden stocks were stored in the British Houses of Parliament. They were ordered cleaned out, but, apparently the cleaners got over zealous, and the stocks caught on fire with disastrous results.
Actually (green) tea leaves have more caffeine per gram than coffee beans do, but in general you use more coffee (~60 g/l) for your cup than tea leaves (~12 g/l) and hotter water, so more caffeine is released.

However, tea leaves are safe for consumption, so you could eat them instead (for example as a salad).

Benchmarks that are designed to measure absolute performance often don't test the factors that make real world software feel fast or slow. They're designed to output a number that allows you to compare the performance of the VMs in certain scenarios.

One thing that fascinates me are latin 1st declension masculine occupational nouns: pirata, nauta, poeta... Both pirata and poeta at least, take "il" in italian. Nauta it seems, did not survive.
The title is a bit of an exaggeration... Maybe I'm missing something but there's actually nothing in the article about the FFMPEG setting used, most importantly the encoding bitrate or quality. There's also no quantitative comparison between the old video and the new. It's relatively straightforward to measure the noise added during the encoding process.

That being said, H265 definitely does improve filesizes.

Software/package version numbers are just a marketing name. It's the ABI version number on the library (e.g. libgtk4.so.1 vs libgtk4.so.0) that needs to be changed if functions or parameters to functions in the original ABI in the older libgtk4.so.0 library are modified or deleted. It's very common to have two libraries of the same name being used side-by-side with some applications compiled against a newer ABI, and other applications compiled against an older ABI.

The problem with Gnome development is that library ABIs are just one of many interfaces used. There are also GSettings/dconf interfaces, D-Bus interfaces, file formats, etc on top of the usual conflicts in package dependencies (e.g. two packages wanting to write two different unversioned files to disk).
There’s a code parsing intrinsic complexity cost. It can be paid in space / memory by pre-rendering on the server or it could be pushed at runtime as JS and potentially as CSS (which I understand is Turing complete) but one way or another the cost will be paid.

Actually React can stake a better claim to being "just JavaScript" than Svelte. Once you know what JSX compiles to (the rules are fairly basic), React does become "just JavaScript".

That's not the case with Vue, Angular or Svelte. There's framework specific syntax that you need to learn. Eg: '{#each things as thing}' from Svelte's documentation.
Mostly static a screen recordings are pretty much the ideal content to show off H.265. The screen would be broken down into blocks, and ones that don’t contain much motion or complexity would use nearly no bandwidth. This image should demonstrate that:

I don't think allowing revocation of a token by any bearer of the token is much of a security issue. Consider a real world example, if one finds a credit card someone dropped on the street it can be reported as lost and revoked by the issuer even though the reporter is not the owner.

As for the endpoint being an oracle, the endpoint doesn't really need to respond to the reporting client other than the revocation request has been received.
I don't get the impression that several hundred/thousand individuals had anything to do with this being solved by this person, except perhaps by virtue of not solving it and thereby leaving it to be an open problem with the opportunity to be solved.

After reading the article, this didn't come across as a "standing on the shoulders of giants" situation, but rather that this person by chance had the problem, found it interesting enough to work on, and happened to try the right path to solve it.
