You can get around this by grabbing a wildcard certificate and then using a hard-to-guess subdomain.

MacOS has a good CLI if you need to use it. There are CLI equivalents for a lot of the system setting/administration stuff.

I think the dumb part is that it's not like decoding or encoding video becomes harder when there's more users. The effort to write code for encoding for a small service of 1000 users and a large service of 10 million users is the exact same. We really don't need middlemen extracting everything they can, which will drive up costs.

I'm shocked there isn't more government regulation about this. You can't ban Bitcoin, but if you make it a massive pain to invest in it and make it difficult to convert between physical currency that would drive down a lot of demand.

If I had to describe it, Notion is if somehow managed to combine OneNote and Excel. Of interest is the fact that the "database" system stores each row as a page with the column values other than title stored in a special way. Of course, this also means that it doesn't scale at all, but I have seen some crazy use cases (an example is replacing Jira).

I believe that for X-ray mode, the radiation was indirect, so it needed a lot more power. Furthermore, older revisions had hardware locks, and the intent of the Therac-25 was to make it cheaper.

This is because blurays ship their subtitles as a bunch of text images. So pirates have 3 options:

1. Just copy them over from the Bluray. This lacks support in most client players, so you'll either need to download a player that does, or use something like Plex/Jellyfin, which will run FFMpeg to transcode and burn the picture subtitles in before sending it to the client.

2. Run OCR on the Bluray subtitles. Not perfect.

3. Steal subtitles from a streaming service release (or multiple) if it exists.

FFMpeg is probably not as up high since video processing only needs to be done on the servers that receive media. I doubt most phones are running FFMpeg on video.

Slack's UI sucks for multiple different "server"s. Good for work, but no gamer wants to juggle around the Slack UI for 2/3 different game servers, not to mention DMs being isolated. Imagine DMing the same person with 2 or 3 completely separate chat histories, depending on the source server. Many people have multiple servers that share a subset of people, and talking to them would be absolutely insane, not to mention the amount of people that primarily use Discord for DMs that don't care about any server at all.

I don't see how it should be too hard to implement, you could abstractly have a system where the command string is translated as such:

1. Split the string by dashes into an array

2. Make the first character of the first array item lowercase, make the first character of the rest uppercase

3. Concatenate the pieces together

4. Do `document.getElementById(element.commandfor)[concatenated]()`

Obviously this doesn't have the myriad number of checks to make sure that the element exists, the method exists, the method takes no parameters, etc.

This would also allow custom commands easily, since you could do `document.getElementById(element.commandfor).myCustomMethod = function() { /* ... */ }`
