You claim that there are plenty of other ways to support a video streaming platform yet fail to mention even one of them.

Things cost money. Every monetizing strategy involves users paying for it or the company making money from the users indirectly. OP mentions both of these. So tell me, what's a monetizing strategy other than these that works?

People consumed videos online at a very limited scale before YouTube, and those videos were usually hosted by few, generous individuals. Even if every user in the world decides to contribute 50% of their device storage for a decentralized streaming platform, I doubt it would even fit a small part of all videos in YouTube's catalog right now.

I really dislike the attitude of hating megacorps without really proposing any viable alternatives.
Cities are great IF you can maintain good public infrastructure and more importantly the discipline required to maintain and prevent trouble makers.

This. PeerTube can provide similar benefits without centralization.

Haha no need to apologise! Thanks for an amazing project :)
I completely agree. The go templating language is a nightmare. I probably learned most when dealing with Helm, but I've always been holding out hoping that something better would replace it.

Does anyone know why the templating situation is the way it is in go? In many other languages you have multiple competing templating languages, but in go this is basically what you get. Are there language specific features that make it hard?

EDIT: interesting to final see active liquid templating engines for go. now if only legacy would allow for the use of these things.
I have not found a coherent explanation why HS2 does not link to HS1.
The unreasonable cost of rail tickets makes the current scheme a toy for rich people. Connecting the last few metres to HS1 at St Pancras would allow trains to compete with air travel to Europe. Taking an eco-guilt-free trip from northern England to Paris is something a normal person might do, even if the rail tickets cost 3x the flights. But not when you have book multiple tickets and drag your stuff between stations in London.
I can't use Safari on my HP Linux laptop and on my Android phone. Apple doesn't make it for those OSes. That's a choice like any other one. What I don't like is that deny other companies to run their own browser engines on iOS. They have to reskin Safari. Luckily this is going to change soon at least in the EU.
Yeah that chimes with my experience. "Cybersecurity" (a name I hate by the way) without threat modelling and analyzing trade-offs is just compliance. There is a lot of bike shedding, cargo cults and general bs "box checking" work. So many players selling "AI" and visuals in the form of overly complicated "scanning" and CVE database querying, which is little more than checking and matching versions, or circular metadata writing and reading. I got in and out of the field in about a year.
I've been led to believe that the reason why a lot of written exams include the instruction "read all questions before starting on the problems" is due to this subconscious "cooking on the back-burner" effect. Problem solving in your sleep might be related to that strategy. I haven't read any empirical studies on the effectiveness of this testing strategy - but I suppose it should be fairly easy to set up such an experiment.
Grants for researching an IDE (Blockchain, Crypto, Decentralized tech)?
Hi.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this. But anyway, I wonder if there are some funds where it's possible to get a grant or some kind of economical support while doing some research and prototyping of a tech ide.
I tried out the chat interface of this briefly with a project I built with a rather (ahem) convoluted codebase and I was actually pretty impressed. It was able to answer questions about how the code works pretty well. Asking it how to make changes varied in quality of results, but yeah, pretty cool stuff!

Hiragana and katakana are just the very easy parts of written Japanese - it's merely like learning Greek or Cyrillic alphabets.

Personally I picked up a Hiragana/Katakana chart image online and put it as my wallpaper, so I could easily decode a word when given the chance (best with 2 screens). You can learn then over a few months like that without trying hard.

However, unlike western writing systems, there's also a third thing which is not an alphabet: Kanji. And this is a world of troubles, because Kanji is literally FUBAR. So much so that people talk about dropping it every now and then. Korea used to use Chinese characters too, they eventually (mostly) dropped them in favor of something simpler.
Considering the repo dates back to 2010 (predating Rust by 4+ years), there probably wasn’t a better option that could run on the embedded devices that OpenWRT targets.

Less time and money than rewriting the thing from scratch.

Definitely the Achilles heel in any C64 setup. Perhaps new PSUs are visually distinct from the old ones, but practically everyone had to replace theirs as they aged.

Now the 64C was released in 1986, four years after the 64 and its faulty power supplies came out. I don't know whether Commodore had decisively fixed the flawed PSUs by that time, but I know for sure that my second PSU lasted for the lifetime of that device too.
And there will be hundreds of them on the road at any one time, empty vehicles idling behind one another because the company decided that was the "safest speed" to maximise their profits, taking up the roadways to hinder much more efficient public transit, and slowing everything right down. The companies will then likely pay off the city to let them use mass transit lanes, or to allow them some priority over other drivers. If you think this is hyperbole, consider Netflix's great win in the Net Neutrality fight.
I can only tell you why I upvoted it: It looks like a useful learning tool, as different sense experiences are associated with each other. I don't find it poorly built, and I don't know enough Japanese to know what's incomplete.

I used Manjaro long ago, and loved their GUI to switch kernels [0]. I think the labels are quite informative there. There's the 'Recommended' label, but I'm unsure on how do they deal with updates. Jumping across those recommended might be the best... (imho) or just stay with LTS. Nowadays I run LTS on Cachyos.

> a distribution that is supposed to be "arch but stable"

I don't have eggs in those baskets so don't take my message as advertisement, but i repeatedly heard from various people Manjaro was not that serious/reliable and that EndeavourOS was much more pleasant and stable. Anyone has experience with this?
This is the game update loop, which excludes rendering. (for some reason people still use FPS which is confusing)

I'm not aware of any displays like that, but if there were, you could optimize by eye tracking each viewer and only rendering the direction they're seeing it from. The "New 3DS" (note: different from the regular 3DS) did this.
jQuery isn't Google Maps. Different tools have different solutions.

You can save your site by self-hosting jQuery, but if your business depends on Google Maps you should at least handle failure more gracefully than a blank screen.
I find it easier to install AdGuard extension on Safari and then Apple play the video to the TV.

You get native player and no ads.
Hugo's documentation isn't good, no doubt. But compared to Jekyll's docs, there's at least a lot of (reference) content. Jekyll's docs feel like a beginner-friendly tutorial, but from there you have to figure out everything else yourself, often requiring you to scour the internet and read the source code.
Airbnb for cars, what could possibly go wrong.
Did you try to use something like TCA? You can scope the stuff you need to exactly only re-render what you need. Otherwise re-render the world on ObservableObject etc. Observable only alleviates the scoping-part a little and does not help with re-render the whole body.

Some things still re-render the world and are VERY slow though (ifs/switch inside ForEach with many rows easily brings app to hard lagging, even if doing everything to prevent it -> makes SwiftUI useless for generic row usecases).
Yes -- the dakuten and handakuten marks are very systematic modifiers of the readings of the underlying glyphs. The dakuten more or less voices the leading syllable (ka -> ga, ta -> da), and the handakuten only applies to H*-column kana and changes the sound to a P*. From my perspective, you only really need to learn the base kana and remember the rule for the modifying marks -- you're not learning entire new kana after that.

(There's also combinations like kyu = ki + small-yu, but that also just builds on the kana you already know, and behaves pretty logically.)
Yes, because:

1) its eye tracking isn't good enough for this kind of application.

2) direct access to the gaze vector is disabled

3) its really intrusive

4) its heavy.

5) it doesn't exist(in consumer world) yet.

The goal is to enable someone who has motor control issues, be able to communicate directly with the outside world. Shoving a heavy skimask that totally obscures the outside world on their face directly stops that.

Not only that, but you'll need to create and keep up to date the software needed to make a communicator. Apple are many thing, but it's new platforms are not stable, rapid os updates will break things.

So were horses and buggies before car was invented. Interesting, waste of neither space nor energy was not raised as an issue back then.

What a clickbait. Calling this "how to program in your sleep"? I mean, seriously? Everyone with sufficient experience knows that putting aside a problem that you're trying to solve and giving it another go some time after can be of tremendous help.

Why is it that whenever the far-right seems to experience a surge,

OP was mentioning water catchment, it's about preserving water from rainfall so it doesn't go straight into roads, gullies, rivers and oceans. It's not only about preserving water but also preventing problems downstream like flooding.

Haha no, I learned English as she is spoke at a California Distinguished School. They taught English using the whole language method, because learning grammar is literally unimportant to learning language. I’m sure you can see how good I learned in thirteen years of public school.
I can see both sides a lot here.

It's maybe uncommon knowledge but maintaining a road (or rebuilding a road) costs more than building a new road. (which is part of why the US has so many roads in the first place incidentally). The same holds true of buildings, Europe (as an example) has a lot of legacy and replacing buildings takes a long time and is enormously expensive than if you just had some land.

SF itself is extremely NIMBY, if you build a new city (which, incidentally is why most cities became a thing in the first place) for a specific purpose then people at least get to see your vision instead of fighting the establishment because you want high rises but the people who live there preferring the charm do not.

That said: I don't know many purpose made cities that actually succeeded.

I'm not even aware of any "Company Towns" surviving the decline of the company that founded it; Eindhoven suffered greatly with the decline of Phillips but it had existed for 500 years prior. I can't think of other examples of cities that so heavily depend on companies surviving their inevitable decline.

I fully agree, although it's a great way to quickly lose your billionaire status. Only the greatest of billionaires could afford to build an underground railway system for a city and still have money left to build some apartment buildings for people to live in them.

Only a couple of them on the entire earth could pull it off probably. One of them has already done 3 similarly grandiose things and is now dabbling with social media. One of them is in his party on a yacht fase. One of them is starting to get a bit geriatric but also has always cared more about the people on the planet than the planet itself. And one of them seems to be on an internal journey discovering his masculinity.

There's a couple more for sure, but I guess they're not in the media enough for me to know what their excuses are.
not really.

There are a bunch of hardware out there to get gaze vectors, the problem is that they rely on a generalised model of the eye. With fine tuning you can go from >5 degree of error, to <1-2
Correct.

But which one of your friends or relatives would you appoint as the person who gets to determine what you say on any topic?

Do masks work? How about the vaccine, did it stop you from getting it? Did it stop you from spreading it? Did the lock down last 2 weeks. Was 2 months long enough. Would people leave their bluetooth on, so the tracking app could work? Were the tracking apps secure? Did the tracking apps that cost Australia 100mil actually work?

The experts all said yes and they also all said no.

Hmm. I was curious and started looking for the comments you mention, and was pleasantly surprised to find zero pg hate comments, downvoted or otherwise. People seem pretty on board with billionaires solving problems for disabled people in exchange for mutual upside.

I used to be bothered by those kinds of sentiments too, by the way. The way I got over it was to realize how many people are just bitter, and not because of pg or YC. This is different than having an actual issue with pg or YC — it’s random noise rather than points worth listening to.

Weirder than the haters are the people who reply to his tweets. Some of them post bizarre things. I find it fascinating when people project their own feelings on him, whether it’s hate, admiration, or (my favorite, having been a victim of it myself) misplaced ambition.
France has very strict regulations regarding homeschooling, but i wouldn't consider that a win. The official program, whether in schools or in homeschooling still lacks many things and still contains various forms of historical propaganda for the horrors of the french Empire.

While private catholic schools that people pay thousands of euros for are silently allowed to spew homophobic/creationist propaganda, it's become much harder for anarchist parents to teach their kids at home or together.

Personally i still think anti-authoritarian schools (like Montessori) are much better than homeschooling, but i don't think war against homeschooling is a good thing, especially when it's done at the same time that public services are slowly being disfunded/dismantled to their slow and painful death.
Is that fair? The whole point of the tradeoffs made by HotSpot is that it's optimized for JITing.

Imho there is no way to do a fair comparison, as both implementations have completely different goals.

One thing that would be interesting is comparing the performance of some really simple command line program (e.g. `ls` or `cp` for small files) between Hotspot in interpreter mode, Jacobin and GraalVM native.
It looks like there's a blatant contradiction between statement B:

> AfD supporters see Germany’s migration policy as a catastrophe

an statement A (made just before B):

Used to have some respect for Tooze, I actually quoted one of his books in here twice or thrice, but people like him should get their heads out of the proverbial sand and look at facts straight in the face. If it quacks like a duck ("migration policy as a catastrophe") and whacks like a duck it most certainly is a duck.

Discovering what exactly? To bad they don't use a subdomain called "adplayback" I guess, but the query parameters are obviously only useful for YouTube internal, not the users.

And I won't even call them "obfuscated" -- it's just a batch of switches and plain IP and ID hash.
Over here volume boosting is illegal, so instead they DSP ad audio to maximise envelope across all frequency bands.

Since ad sections are your typical break from a program to get to the fridge or toilet or whatever, the DSP transform makes sure you still hear the ads and pick up dialog even when far away from the TV.

Downmixing audio so that you can both hear dialogue and not lose eardrums to music and 'splosions seems to be an intractable decades old problem for the movie industry but it sure as hell been solved a dozen times over by the ad biz.

Not sure how being able to reason about good behaviour in an effective manner that's collectively beneficial isn't in the domain of intelligence.

We rather have an anti-democratic and populist surge in Germany (the article also confirms that there is no particular shift in opinion to the far right).

The interesting thing is that we will probably get another party on the far left next year (founded by Wagenknecht, a prominent member of the parliament for The Left party. It is probably only delayed to next year due to some party funding rules for new parties in connection with the upcoming election.).

People want more simple solutions and are fed up with complexities (like all over the world). The other parties particularly as part of the governing coalition only offer more confusion and no clear vision where to go with a lot of internal fights.
