I've tried to deal with this many years back, I think the latency is inherent in the protocols, there's layers like 2/3 layers of buffers that by the time the frame reaches the client several seconds have already passed.

When I was researching this back then, there was only one protocol in OBS that was fast enough, but it was proprietary. It was called FTL and was what Mixer used (twitch competitor, now dead). Mixer was so fast that I could move my mouse from the stream window, latency was probably very similar to cloud gaming services today.

Not sure what you're trying to attempt, but if you want low latency webrtc will probably be the best performing because it's p2p, however there's no official support for it in OBS and client support is weird, you might have to cook up some webrtc webpage just for it, but if you want sub 100ms latency it's the way to go.

The alternative that OBS supports is SRT, but I have never used it, the arch wiki claims it has ~1s delay. Maybe the 1to1 version lowers it and it seems simple enough if you can use ffplay/vlc where you're watching.

> Having 100 cases means we could potentially check 100 cases before selecting one. case statements are O(n), where n is the number of case/switch statements possible.

I was under the impression that most (all?) C compilers would optimize this use-case into a jump-table, turning this case statement usage into an O(1) operation. Or is this a C++ feature that I'm thinking of?
What about electric motorcycles like the eRockit?
Yes and no. Yes, it's more like JIRA.

But no, that's missing the point: That's what makes it an equally stupid "Enterprise product". Excel, OTOH, is arguably more essential to more corporations, and yet you don't see big international consultancies snap up contracts for six-year-long "Excel Implementation" projects with Fortune 500 corporations. You do see that for SAP, Oracle Business Suite (or whatever it's called nowadays), etc. They're products that you don't just install and use; they need to be "implemented". JIRA is more like that.

Or, IOW: I wasn't comparing, but contrasting. (Which, OK, is also a kind of comparison. But for this kind, it's Excel that is the better example than Teams.)
I agree, the tutorial and the explaination should go in tandem. Start slow and help the users to form the right images in their heads in the beginning.
If your friend only had $5k in total and threw them all in Terra then I guess the lesson he got in the crash is way more valuable than any savings he might have kept. He would have lost them anyway on the next shitcoin.
I assume it depends on your gut microbiome and physical habits.

Cheap, green nuclear would be a breakthrough in clean energy.

Cheap, green fusion would be a breakthrough in clean energy.

Cheap, green synthetic fuels would be a breakthrough in clean energy.

Cheap, green antimatter reactors would be a breakthrough in clean energy.

Cheap, green vacuum point energy reactors would be... you get the idea.

However, the cheap, green sources of energy today are solar and wind, and no one is going to beat them for a decade.

Here's more fun stuff:

- Hydrogen has been and will be sold as green and extracted from fossil fuels.

- Hydrogen has been and will be propped up by desperate industries to delay or obfuscate EV and actual green energy

- Hydrogen has no significant infrastructure, while EVs and green energy have extant and robust delivery infrastructure (aside from battery storage).

- and I didn't even get into the inefficiencies and engineering challenges.

Hydrogen will have it's niches. But right now it is a trojan horse, and suffers the same issues as new nuclear or fusion: solar and wind are kicking so much ass and still getting stronger/cheaper/better year on year, that any application that involves even a five year schedule can't target the price to be competitive.

Usually, they'll be disingenuous and only talk about current prices, and complain about "subsidies" for their competitors and hide the "subsidies" they need or will redirect.

The path forward is solar, wind, battery, and PHEVs and EVs.

Oh look, Russia's war on Ukraine being sold to prop up an uncompetitive approach (well it is a trojan horse by the oil industry, what would one expect).

You know what would have made us ready for Russia? If we took an auto design that is 25 years old (the hybrid vehicle) and slapped a charging plug on it (aka a PHEV) and about 10 or 15 years ago forced or incented every new car to have that design, and pushed incentives to get the all-electric range improved each year as batteries got better and better.

To emphasize, that design was not rocket science. It was superior efficiency on highway (atkinson cycle), far greater efficiency in city driving, better torque, quieter, less emissions, all-electric for 80-90% of city trips, blah blah blah.

We'd need less military, would have kneecapped Russia, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, averted Daesh (funded by oil), Ukraine (it's over pipelines, dummies), and Syria (also was over pipelines) in all likelihood.
Interesting take. I mostly agree, but I do think there is legitimate value in the foundation. Every time the ponzi collapses, the next jenga tower has a slightly higher foundation
> Alzheimer’s is now seen in people without a genetic predisposition to it. That is to say that people’s lifestyle decisions around sleep, food, and exercise are the issue.

Or perhaps it’s just idiopathic/random/aging or environmental exposures that are less to do with lifestyle decisions.
I’ve known plenty of people with Alzheimer’s and many of them tend to have had healthy lifestyles including healthy sleep - I would love to see any data that implicates meaningful risk reduction with “one weird trick” in sleep or diet - the common denominator was mostly old age.
I’ve been saying for years that we should reduce taxes on work and increase taxes on assets and consumption. At the current level of taxation, accumulating wealth through work is out of the grasp of 95% of the population (at least in the UK, where they’d earn less than 90K).
So, what are we going to do about this?

We've known that the whole crypto scene in general is a fraudulent, cynical ploy to get rich at other people's expense. Any conversation with anyone involved in the industry quickly reveals that their goal is to get rich from asset speculation. And that means for them to win, someone else must lose.

The thing that the article describes is an inevitable consequence of this process. This story will play out again and again - gullible people getting their lives ruined by "investing" in crypto because they believed a bunch of blatant lies about it.

This is fraud. There needs to be consequences, and the liars going to jail for deliberately destroying other people's lives.
I glanced earlier at the source for the OBS MacOS virtual webcam plugin and from what I could tell it read the webcam data into a buffer and fed that as the "virtual webcam" stream. If that's true, the extra reading and writing could be taking up cycles causing additional latency.
Yes but that would be a very different style than an artist deciding to draw a line, or not.
Let us not overlook:

Jetbrains costs $150/y. IMO, an autocomplete is not worth $100/y at all, let alone $200/y.
Tip for solder jumpers: the ones in this PCB would allow you to use a zero ohm resistor easily, but actually would be quite difficult to get solder alone to bridge the 2 pads due to the solde mask in between. I’ve had good luck omitting (or scraping off) the solder mask in that area, and recently came a cross a product with a better design. This product, an upgrade for the original NES[1] has very nice solder jumpers.

The readme did say that it was inspired by a similar project targetting zsh[0], so I don't see why over time the model couldn't improve to suggest what you want.

I tried it for a couple of months last year. It worked in that I lost weight, quickly the first month, less so the second. The weight did not stay off for me.

It wasn't particularly difficult but not particularly easy either compared to other diets I've tried.
In theory.

In practice most people, especially at non-Tropical latitudes or who don’t spend multiple hours outside everyday don’t get nearly enough.
Except it happens all the time. Canada exports Gwh to the US every year. Laos is a big exporter too (mainly to Thailand I think), Paraguay to Brazil, and obviously around europe.
Anyone who has had to maintain a shared PHP server would say that's very different. I used PHP for years, and now use serverless functions (both Lambda and Deno). Serverless means you don't need to worry about anything except the code. It scales automatically. It never needs updating. It doesn't go down in the middle of the night. It can roll back deploys instantly. Sure, you could pay for managed hosting, and then pay more for scaling, and set up automation for deploys, but give me serverless functions any day of the week. They just work.
They've always prioritized fidelity of the actual simulation. It's as realistic as they can get it. With the upcoming version, they've done a lot of work to improve this. The article is a good example of this; and typical of the style of Austin Meyer (founder of Laminar Research).

This fidelity is what makes x-plane hard to fly (and a lot of fun) because a lot of interesting planes are fundamentally hard to fly in the real world as well; unless you know what you are doing and have good controls. However, a simple twisting joystick goes a long way. I have an ancient Microsoft one (like 15 years) and it has served me well over the years. You just have to calibrate it correctly. Most x-plane developers have pretty modest setups too. You just need to set things up right and then fly the numbers (correct v-speeds). And select the right planes. I always enjoy flying the simpler planes.

What's interesting is that most simple joysticks are actually already more expensive than the sim. You get some amazing value for not a lot of money.

Fs-elite has been running a series of interviews with x-plane developers about v12 the last few weeks. Well worth checking out if you are interested in x-plane: https://www.youtube.com/c/FSElite/videos

I'm particularly looking forward to the improved weather and clouds. Also, built in ATC looks like it should be more usable.
After my divorce 25 years ago I was really raw emotionally and stopped watching TV, listening to the radio, and reading the newspaper. What was interesting is after a decade of that going back to any of those was way way too much negative stim.

Six months ago replaced my home computer and decided to just not use it with FB. And I got a new smartphone which I now only use for texting. I find that opening FB at work Monday morning gives me the exact same feeling that TV, radio, and newspapers do.
One word of caution on these "only this diet". Your gut bacteria is a jungle with many species of microbes, trillions of them. They basically fight for territory and some subspecies will die if you stop injecting <x food>.

So if you are not lactose intolerant and get off lactose for 6-9 months, don't expect that your belly will react well to a glass of milk in a year.

I'm all for _reducing_ X and Y. But completely going polar is trendy and extremely dangerous long term.
The founders of Convex are some of the most talented developers I know.

The CTO worked with Turing-award winner Barbara Liskov on Viewstamped Replication Revisited [1], the revision of the pioneering consensus protocol, and later the founding team pulled off the migration of Dropbox from S3 to their own custom storage stack called Magic Pocket [2].

The deterministic simulation testing techniques [3] they used to develop Dropbox's revised sync algorithm are still state of the art today (few systems are designed to be tested like this), and the online verification techniques [4] they used to verify their production systems are vital to building large-scale systems safely.

I can't think of a stronger technical team to do something like Convex, and couldn't imagine a better devops team to be running the backend.

> In substance they are similar in that they both want/ed tighter "vertical integration" of tools ("DX") in an opinionated way, with the money-making plan being convenient paid hosting. "Look how easy and fun it is to make powerful stuff; we hope you give us money to host it for you!" So far the only company that's had success with this pitch is Amazon of all people, by offering a staggering array of partially specialized EC2 instances behind an API.

I think NextJS and Vercel probably fall into this bucket as well.
Great if transaction s are cheap ... but if you don't have anybody to receive transactions from kr sending to it isn't really useful. And the single person rarely has the ability to move a network of people over.
I will "concede" to this that yes I was a lucky person, some random people (they were blood relatives but might as well be random) decided to adopt me from a 3rd world country, idk why. Even though I failed college I still found a way out.
saying linux is cancer (and communism even though this is only seen as a terrorizing thing mostly in the US) were pretty strong statements. strongarming companies to NOT sell computers with linux is not so far in the past either. I 100% understand if someone is suspicious of MS. That said, corporations are driven by profit and MS's views on how to profit have changed in the last 20 years. Obviously this shift is driven by a changing world, not ideology.

Bottomline, M$ is still a for profit company, supporting open source projects is sth the world needs more of and if there are no strings I do not care where the (legal)money come from.
UST staking had nothing to do with PoS though. The Terra blockchain's native cryptocurrency was LUNA. There was a relationship to LUNA, in that $1 worth of luna burnt would mint $0.999 UST, and vice versa (1 UST burnt would mint $0.999 of LUNA).

UST was appealing because you could supply it in Anchor protocol, which was a money market. Anchor advertised nearly 20% APY on your supply, so it was appealing to convert your fiat to UST and then supply it to Anchor like a high interest savings account.
Wireguard is a water pipe, whereas OpenVPN is a water pipe connected to a water bottling factory connected to a bottled water shipping port.

The configuration is what is easy to fuck up, not the command to run it
I'm not sure if this is what OP was referring to, but in the ancient past before the STL was fully standardized, some implementations had an `operator const char*` in std::string to allow implicit conversions.
There might be an issue with the view that non-programmers have of contributing to open-source.

My sample size of 1 is a friend who is a professional UX designer. Once, I tried convincing them to help with some OS project, but the response was "that sounds like work, and I don't work for free".

Which has a point, I guess. Open Source contributors have normalized pouring countless hours for free into their projects (when not paid by a commercial entity). But outside of this bubble, I guess people don't see it with the same eyes. Even though in the end, it benefits everyone.

It just requires (semi?)professional knowledge to write good code, like it takes professional knowledge to write good UX, so "why would anyone do that unpaid". Maybe makes sense in the spirit of an artist who gives their art for free, but not in the mindset of a professional who charges good $$$ for an hour of work.

EDIT: Typos and unfinished phrases.
It's impossible to give a proper recommendation without additional details but Firebase will do just fine. There are tons of YouTube tutorials and Medium posts about how to do that.
Really cheap. Lol. Maybe $50 ish per year and then I’d just tolerate exposing my bind server. Low volume is very low since most queries would be for monitoring where the DNS lookups could be done locally to the hidden primary.

Cloudflare looked super appealing because I could spin everything up in Docker containers and expose the web based part via Cloudflare Tunnel which would keep my self hosted infrastructure completely hidden.

It’s tempting to just write something that runs on Cloudflare TBH.
Yeah which is why so many people have problems with vitamin D, not enough sunlight. That's hard to control, but you can take vitamins daily.
I used to think Vitalik was earnest as well. I was an ETH believer up until a few years ago. My distrust in him was the crack that in the end spread and became a distrust in ETH.

I'll just provide 2 sources for this, fossuser, and then you can judge for yourself. Cause I just feel bad if someone else trusts someone I know to be intellectually dishonest at times.

It reminds me a bit of these old paintings which are filled with allegories and symbolism that many people today just completely miss; e.g. a lute is a symbol of female fertility and stuff like that.

I'd have to re-read Lovecraft's works, but I never got this impression myself when reading it. Not that I'm saying you're wrong, just underscoring that the context of the reader also matters as you say.

This also applies in the other direction: you might read "meaning" into some piece of literature or art that the original creator(s) never intended.
Nice site.

Is it also available on gemini by any chance?
"Losing weight isn't causal to being healthy."

Strictly spoken, true, but being overweight definitely is causal to decreased health.
If you enjoyed it, go get yourself a copy of Hail Mary. He's got even better at writing that style of story.
UST was not able to be staked in a Proof-of-Stake system. UST was lent (to borrowers) via lending protocols, and in return the lenders earned interest. This interest was subsidized by Luna to encourage usage of the UST stablecoin.

USDT also doesn't incentivize holders of the token. Centralized or decentralized platforms may offer incentives for depositing token though, but this isn't done by Tether itself.
I appreciate that the EFF is being very principled here, but it also seems a little naive. Basically I think there are two threats that users face, and efforts to defend against them are in tension with each other.

The first threat is that the government might effectively take control of censoring all speech on the internet (in the name of national security, or preventing dangerous health/election misinformation, etc.) which risks politically-biased enforcement or removing one of the layers of separation between users and government snoops.

In contrast to this, the EFF seems to imagine that privately-run moderation of social media is a panacea that will allow users to completely escape partisan bias and snooping. That would possibly be the case if users had free choice of which company they trusted their accounts with, but in practice if you want to reach your friends on Facebook/Twitter you need an account on Facebook/Twitter, and you are subject to their censorship and data harvesting policies.

Fortunately the EFF does acknowledge the dangers that come from a lack of interoperability[0], but by "protecting" users from government efforts to (ostensibly) prevent viewpoint discrimination, the EFF is effectively doing the work of the social media companies who are, as a cartel, perpetrating many of the abuses that the EFF claims to be against. This is the second threat, which EFF seem to be exasperating.

So it becomes a question of strategy. Should the EFF grudgingly accept more government oversight, despite the dangers, to mitigate the already existing stifling of free speech that these large companies cause? (Here I mean the ethical principle of freedom of speech, not the narrow legal right to the same.) Or should they commit fully to stopping any government oversight, while hoping that the current situation suddenly gets better when the government finally demands interoperability instead?

I personally think a little pragmatism is required here. The EFF should be realistic about the idea that the "free market" cares about free speech, and the even less credible idea that the government will fix this market failure. Instead they should accept that there is a narrow role for governments to play in protecting users of "common carrier" social networks (while they continue to campaign for genuine interoperability).

In particular, the government should be welcomed to legislate that companies that control the online speech of more than some large threshold of the country should be forced to allow their users to opt out of any types of censorship (of legal speech) that those companies implement.

So, for example, if Facebook want their default moderation policy to include a ban on vaccine hesitancy and racial slurs, then they should be able to set that, but users should be able to opt out of those filters. (Probably the EFF should compromise and allow companies to unilaterally ban adult and graphically violent content, as those are categories of speech that don't deserve the same levels of protection).

If you're obese you have increased risk of lots of health problems. No matter the diet that got you there.

So becoming less obese is in fact causing better health.

Of course there are unhealthy ways to lose weight, but that's a separate issue.
Is there thought?

What's the actual difference between (JS):

console.log("done: " + x);

vs (Python)

x = await do_some_long_process()

Science may not be able to explain why and how the universe came into existence but it may explain why humans so stubbornly insist to know the reasons for something they can't ever know yet at the same time are so willing to accept irrational explanations for it.
> 'm asserting it's effective at maintaining peace and order. I'm also asserting that the fact of peace and order is more important than the treatment of those who violate it.

And I could assert quite a lot about your assertions, the mindset behind them, and what kind of society that leads to.

But I can't be arsed to: No matter how many deluded authoritarians you manage to bring to their senses, or just reduce to a heap of smoking online cinders, more fresh ones just keep popping up. And I got bored with Usenet flamewars decades ago.
