SEEKING FREELANCER | Glimesh.tv | Video Ingest Project | HOURLY / PROJECT | REMOTE

Technologies: Go, Pion, WebRTC, UDP, RTP!

Glimesh.tv is a next-gen live streaming platform using WebRTC to deliver sub second latency to all content creators. We're looking for an experienced Go engineer to help us push our newest RTMP => WebRTC project across the finish line. The project has all of the initial framework in place, and is only a couple hundred lines of Go. The project takes RTMP input, converts it to RTP packets, and forwards the traffic into our video distribution network. Experience with Pion or video / audio manipulation is preferred, but we'd love to hear from anyone!

Additionally the project is open source, and your paid work on it would be given back to the video streaming community. The project is at: https://github.com/Glimesh/rtmp-ingest

Maybe for certain subsets of the user group. I don't like the dongle-hell that is the Apple laptop line. I'll take my Lenovo or Dell laptop that has RJ45, multiple usb ports, and more. I also prefer a physical laptop dock (not USB3), but I always had such a headache with them for linux support.

Apple laptops are always a fair bit pricier for a given set of hw specs than any other manufacturer would be.

Additionally, they lack any level of reparability and a trip to the genius bar will often be quite expensive. Hell, look at the debacle that was the butterfly keyboard they pushed for something like 5-6 years.

Apple's keyboards, even before/after the butterfly keyboard, are inferior (in my opinion) than the keyboard on the Thinkpad line, and feel quite mushy by comparison.

The aluminum construction is quite solid, but not without it's issues. They seem to get far hotter in my experience, but perhaps that's them acting as heat sink so I'll give that a pass. The hard edges on the case are a pain-point to me.

I know a lot of people seem to prefer the apple touchpads, but I've never liked them. I prefer physical mouse buttons, and the click never felt right to me on apple touchpads. Part of it might be that gesture inputs with the touchpads aggravated my RSI, so I was never able to make use of them.

All said, I don't agree with Apple making the best x64 laptops, but they fielded a competitor like many others. They have the advantage of being the only true Apple laptop though, so if you're all-in on the Apple ecosystem, they're definitely the best choice. Otherwise, there are many laptops that might surpass the macbooks, depending on your individual preferences.
> At this point in this conversation, some part of me starts to feel concerned about complacency. I know that my standards are unrealistic. But they also serve as a big part of my motivation system. And I feel concerned that if I just removed them, that I'd be complacent, and never do anything. And that feels terrifying.

This past year, I’ve noticed in myself a tendency to assume I am naturally unmotivated and need some source of fear, pressure, or extrinsic motivation to get work done.

I’ve also been reading about Taylorism and realized how unhealthy that is. Since realizing it, I have started to work on trusting myself more.
I read them just fine using Opera on windows - highlighted syntax on a dark/black background. Maybe its a javascript-required site?

Agreed but as far as trackpads go, Apple does do them the best.

I always bring a mouse, I hate the little nubs even more :)
This is now a proven, well-worn playbook: put yourself at the center of a massive enterprise, and if/when it all goes to shit, basically demand a ransom: "If you don't let me go quietly, my scorched earth policy will ensure there is no carcass to pick over."

It is the playbook that CEOs with golden parachutes use as their companies go under, it is the playbook that Adam Neumann used when exiting WeWork, and it is even used by jailed business owners for leniency ("If I'm in jail, I'll have to shut my company and all of my poor employees will lose their jobs")

At some point, though, I do worry that metaphorical pitchforks become real ones. There are literally hundreds of thousands of family members of those who died due to Sacklers' greed, and they get to read that the Sacklers will remain one of the wealthiest families in the world.
I still don't see those sliders. Is it something you have to enable in the preferences? Is it mobile-only or something (I don't use a browser on my phone at all, so I wouldn't know...)

Maybe not the plebs but the Musk fans are typically well to do white collar professionals that do dream of space and all that jazz. They don't have the problems of real plebs so they still actually care.
Actually it is trivial to prove it was correct.

My workflow was to look at the site with a web browser (with working up to date TLS), and note the hash of the final commit of master. This can be done on a different machine.

Then one clones the repo from the non https capable machine, and verifies the hash for the tip of master. Rinse and repeat for any other branches of interest, especially if only performing a limited clone.
According to TFA, there's a reporting form, so presumably it's people on the ground who are reporting others.
> [DELETE THIS SENTENCE] One remaining question for the settlement is whether the Justice Department will file an appeal.

Is this article a draft that somehow got published before it was ready?
No, as then there is nothing for the settlement and remediation of the harm done.
Based on your comments, you've never had the opportunity/need to do so. I have and I can attest that I would much rather remote into a powerful desktop PC to write code than use a mobile processor.

Maybe the software you build and its dev tooling allows you t to be effective with a mobile processor, but for my needs it's not good enough.
there's more than meets the eye
I want one really bad. I’m on a 2013 MacBook Air running Arch. To be honest I never fight with it. It runs everything. 4GB might seem low but for casual non development work (developer by day anything but development by night) it works great. Obviously not for gaming but it’s a hard sell to upgrade!

I would like to take a moment and pray with you fine folks about the possibility of https://getaether.net/ (it is non-trivially in the right direction). We don't have to outright silence people in mere political games. Until at least the users get to moderate who (or what, and given which conditions?) will be their moderators on a platform owned and computed by the people who use it, [[power|https://philosopher.life/#Power]] will centralize, and we'll see the same problems again and again. We must distribute governance of The Great Human Conversation, and even my worst enemies deserve to have voices and a vote. Decentralize until it hurts, then federate until it works.
Except the only way to get their billions is also to destroy the settlement.
I was just about to comment "how does this compare to Mullvad?", had no idea they were basically the same thing. Mullvad is already great and available in more countries, so I see no reason to move to Mozilla VPN.
Not me. To me, what this article is describing is just poor mental health.

On the other hand, I grew up in a nice middle class family but a family that was basically trivial to do better than.

Maybe things would be different if I had a chip on my shoulder from growing up dirt poor or a chip on my shoulder from an ultra successful parent that is almost impossible to live up to.
I disagree with this as good advice. I think the post is at a point where any more self-editing would be navel-gazing. Instead, I’d advise first posting it to 1-3 editors whom you trust.

“Consider your audience” is good…but also not very actionable until you make your audience specific.
You're right, I could have been more kind to middlemen.

I agree there are middlemen who add value.

I also think that when middlemen become essentials, it's a sign we are over-regulating society.

I have a lot of respect for Amazon in the early days: they really changed the world of online shopping.

In the last years, they didn't innovate their e-commerce offering and I attribute a lot of their growth to pure government regulation.

The great european VATMOSS (together with GDPR, SCA, cookie banners) killed small independent e-commerces with and pushed the survivors on Amazon, just to avoid the complexity. Let all remember how VATMOSS was supposed to "tax big tech".
COVID lockdowns are now killing physical small businesses and Amazon is benefiting from it.
Hi, maybe you can give me some advice about what to read. I'm looking for a book/video that would give me a step by step account of how early astronomers worked. How they actually took a reading, what corrections they made, and specifically how they did all their calculations. I found this video on celestial navigation really great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu5R5mrrGB0&t=611s it walks a person step by step through navigation. Looking for something like this, but showing how a star catalogue, like the Rudolphine Table, is compiled.
> it doesn't really matter why they're doing it.

I disagree with that. Why they are doing what they are doing is very important.

Elon is a set of flaws walking on two legs but his plans make sense: Humanity has all their eggs in one basket by being a single planet species. To change that we need to make space travel much, much cheaper than it was. To do that we need reusable and economical spacecrafts. He works alongside this plan.

Branson made people build him the adult version of a coin operated mall kiddie ride. You give it money and it shakes you around and later you can tell people that you are now an astronaut.

Two people, both have a ton of money and both used some of their wealth to assemble a team to build a spacecraft. The difference between them is the “why” they did this.

One if suceeds has changed the history of humankind. If he fails at the grand goal misserably he still made a vastly succesfull space company.

The other if he succeeds has a funfair ride with bragging rights. Meh.

The why is all that matters, because it affects the how and the what fundamentally.
It's exactly how fractional reserve works. That it can happen more than once due to redepositing (in other banks, and so on...) doesn't help an argument against that reality.

You may have missed the memo that went out in 2008 regarding how banks like to do things in general. A kind of "statement" regarding their ethics and base principles.

The inventor of Bitcoin didn't miss it, and created a slightly better system that was at least based on something: pointlessly throwing energy away.

Did quite well at proving the concept, it's worth trillions at the moment. So it seems to work. In fact, those old banks might want to start up their own. You know, to compete.

Ah, the exciting world of finance.
It is especially true because it is much faster to write an email than to create a piece of documentation. Even more because of the state of corporate knowledge sharing tools.

But yeah at the end of the day, there is no easy fix, it has to be in the core list of responsibilities of each job to work at the company scale
> US centrism is so rude.

Are you sure rude is the right term? Usually you would define rude something deliberate.

As annoying as it might be, this is not deliberate.
The facebook feed is at least an online system vs a static model, so YES.
"Trends in dangerous laser strikes" as if the worst consequence out of the tens of thousands of laser strikes so far wasn't one guy making one visit to a doctor. Exploding cell phones have killed more people than laser strikes. The FAA itself lists over thirty-two thousand laser strikes in the last five years alone, with zero deaths.

Should aiming a laser at an aircraft he illegal? Yes. Do people deserve to be sentenced to over four years in prison for it like Justin Shorey? Hell no.
> "You can dismiss this 1 more time" - why? It's my device I paid for it.

That's not just mobiles either.. Windows 10 does the same :(

Sure it's nice for the average joe soap not turning their machine into a botnet node but I hate coming back to my PC and find it has rebooted while it was running some task for me.. Grrrr.
I recently picked up a keychron k3, and am mostly satisfied.

Architecturally, I don't think 1.000 subreddits and that different from 1.000 separately hosted forums/chans/Reddit clones (and indeed, many of those exist and the level of conflict and brigading among those separate communities doesn't ever reach the same level as among subreddits).

I'd rather say the difference comes from keeping the same identity across communities, which allows you to easily gain fame/disgrace in one community and use it to influence another one, and an administration/moderation team with a bias and a willingness to cave to pressure.
I noticed that, too. It's a rather interesting sentence to remove. Given that it signals that it's up to the Justice Department to make the next move. That will turn a lot of heads their direction.
Why should hosting papers cost so much?

Unless their fee involves paying for a granite-imprint of the paper to preserve it for centuries, the marginal cost should be near-zero.

I find product placement to be horrific. It was the final straw that got me to just stop watching TV/Netflix/etc altogether.
Biden Phone Call Pressuring Afghan Pres. To Lie Revealed in Leaked Transcript
I agree exactly with what you said, since this is exactly my experience as a home hoster. To add to what you said, I suspect that Docker containers are much easier to configure than OS packages because they are all to some extent Twelve Factor compliant, which means that configuration and operations are simplified.
If you find the lecture goes very fast, this means you should read the textbook before the class.
completely agree, but unfortunately, Arbeit macht frei!
Amazon and Apple have both taken ordinary products (the computer, the book, the cell-phone, the convenience store) and commoditized them using the power of the internet. No foul play yet, but the issues start when they begin gaslighting the little guys: Apple's biggest concern is their development ecosystem right now, and Amazon's biggest concern is antitrust commissions. Frame it however you like, but they still 'compete' with their traditional analogs, be it indirectly or directly. The mindset you're encouraging is the one that drives Tesla shares to $1k a pop, solely because "they're not like other auto manufacturers!"
The Sackler family is not white.
HN is nice but historically the topics had to be very specific to tech, startups, etc.

Recently it seems to have been a little easier on the political and social commentary stuff which i think is pretty nice and refreshing.

Though I understand why some aren’t as much of a fan. It does attract more drama and flame baiting.
At a high level, think of how much money Amazon pours into AWS, Microsoft spends on Azure or O365, or Google spends on their GCP & Internal systems.The dollar amounts spent are staggering, yet all major systems continue to have outages that usually boil down to "Human Error".

The stability of the mainframes may be misleading, as the older isolated systems are different than the networked systems.

I would postulate that for a general purpose computer, software stability is directly proportional to connectivity.
Probably, yes. It's interesting how consciousness could be a matter of drawing boundaries.

A well-known example are the ants: individual ants are somewhat dumb, barely above simple chemical seekers. But the ant colony behaves as a single organism, and quite smart at that.

Other examples include cities, nations, corporations - it kind of feels like these organizations have minds of their own, with individual humans being cells, and the bureaucracy forming a computational substrate.

In the same vein, Facebook feed could be seen as a mind of its own. So could the entire human civilization.
It is almost like the primary value provided by a company is of being a social obfuscation layer to avoid moral responsibilities that would be obvious if it was replaced with an individual.
Choosing what to want may be non-trivial in many contexts but I actually do this often. I often choose to want to do what I have to do and, given some effort, this switches me from feeling angry to feeling happy.
> and you’ll see on the NYT.

And then what? It might generate a bit of outrage, but at the end of the day, users have no leverage (without legal support).

No one wants to lose their device or the data on it, so for individual users, there are not a lot of options apart from doing whatever the vendor wants
This settlement allows the Sackler family to keep some assets (billions?); many people have proposed that they deserve to lose everything.
Crud containing for easy removal was one reason why I chose Docker for my infrastructure too. I'm fearless about trying out new containers, because the worst that can happen still leaves everything outside of that one application intact.
> Well, they appear to be going bankrupt already unless I'm missing something and turning over all these assets to the bankruptcy court? At least that's what the article seemed to indicate, it wasn't overly clear on the details.

No, none of the people getting immunity are filing for bankruptcy, which is one of the absolutely ridiculous parts of this settlement. Why should a bankruptcy settlement even apply to them if that's the case?
> There are tens of millions of Americans who are eligible but do not have state drivers licenses. There are tens of millions of Americans with no bank accounts. The underground cash economy is huge.

Yes. But, you don't need to repeat yourself in every post. The point I stated, which you glossed over, is that the people who do not have licenses today will not be at a further loss, when others obtain a national identification. How will today's unlicensed people be harmed when a national id is created?
They didn't say "oops, you're right, sorry". They said they "regret the error", as though they didn't intend to mislead people. And it's not like Guy Fieri; as far as I'm aware, he doesn't generally pretend it's live.
This is disgusting. Basically outright admitting that there are a class of people who are above the law. I wish i were surprised.

Knowingly peddle highly addictive substances, lie about their nature, kill millions, destroy countless lives, and get to keep billions of dollars. it is just hard to fathom.

America will be suffering the consequences of these actions for a generation.
I'm still genuinely surprised that Microsoft hasn't fixed the search. You'd think that being unusable would get them to address it, but I suppose not.
Can you buy things like high end bike parts on Walmart? Or addidas running shoes? Honest question
I would not have people start with that book. It's easy to get confused. It is very tough to get through some parts (unless you've read it multiple times and are a super-fan).

I find the message very interesting: culture is technology. He has such strong libertarian characters in every novel, he also shows that: "being strong but along makes you weak" (Mel being captured and trussed up). His cultural superiority explanation falls apart slightly in two ways: Victorian culture is lacking (the point of the Mel experiment) and the three girls have completely different outcomes from their "Primer education". (or maybe Victorian culture just needs to evolve).

I'm not sure how I feel about the Victorians battling the (barbarian) Chinese and the very feudal class structure.
FDA doesn’t hand out prison sentences. FDAs role is to understand if a certain drug is safe and effective.
You could argue that FDA should do more in monitoring situations like these and have more control/funding to prevent outcomes like these.
I don’t think you or anyone will be banned for saying that.
I got the same as well. I look forward to hearing what they have to say on it.
From what I understand, this bankruptcy preceding was for the company the family owned (Purdue Pharma) and they contributed some of the billions in previously captured profits from their family wealth to get to an agreement, but the balance of their family wealth remains beyond the reach of the courts.
Hey! The author wrote PuTTY!

That was a very informative read. I feel like I am the exact target audience: I'm coming from a programing background steeped in C# and I'm learning C from the K&R book.
Maybe! But sometimes the professor really does just whiz through some proofs without a lot of pause or explanation, and even when I grok the content, rushing to write it all down was mostly counterproductive.

But yeah, I've also seen big gains from reading the textbook ahead of time
I don't want my biometric information on my smartphone.

Cell signals can be triangulated. This "convenience" will be abused. Mark my words.
No, it doesn't show much of anything about the US-UK treaty because that treaty wasn't used. They were extradited from Cyprus, which is noted in the article (reproduced below). I would agree that the handling of the Sacoolas situation was very problematic.

> OIA also provided critical support in working with Eurojust and Europol in planning the coordinated operation in August 2020 and provided critical assistance in securing the defendant’s extradition from Cyprus.
The only choice in a while will be non-backdoored devices for quad-digit amounts. I, for one, do not appreciate going back to $5000 workstations just because I want to get some stuff done.
Just because it hasn't resulted in death doesn't mean it can't, or that it can't cause other problems.

The rhetoric around COVID also trends this way, as some think it's no big deal because some of them are statistically unlikely to die from it. But there are bad things other than death that can stem from it, and it's still a dice roll when it comes to fatality.
Hmm

> The injury to the pilot’s eyes caused by the defendant’s actions resulted in the pilot being unable to fly for a week.

Why bother? I have multiple immediate family members that were affected and who aren't capable of coming back from it; I don't think they should get a reward if it means the Sacklers aren't pushed down with them. Doubly so given very few people will be getting anything, anyway.
This is slightly off-topic but it always seemed to me that FAANG has a vested interest in making internet access as fast, cheap, and highly available as possible (commoditize your compliment). So I wonder why they went in together on some kind of consortium to make that happen. Google tried their hand a few years ago and didn't get very far, and now it seems like it's Amazon's turn. It would make more sense to me if they pooled their resources together, but I guess that's easier said than done.
With a highly infectious disease and public health measures that aren't liable to last forever if you do not get vaccinated you will almost surely eventually be infected. The appropriate comparison is

chance of infection(near 100%) * chance of negative consequences * cost of consequences

vs

chance of vaccine related injury * cost of vaccine related injury + newly reduced chance of infection and negative effects if infected anyway.

An 18 year old male who will eventually get covid if not vaccinated is trading a 1 in 500 chance of death and a 60% chance of lung damage for a 1 in 363,000 chance of myocarditis with a drastically reduced chance of getting covid which will if contracted virtually certainly be mild.

It's legitimate to be worried about anything that may effect the health of your family but if you actually understand the numbers its crazy not to get vaccinated.
