Jellyfin is awesome, but there's a few caveats for me. - Android TV app is quite unstable. Even if you make it do direct streaming, it's not a flawless playback - Sometimes hangs when clicking next episode. I also kind of wish the login experience was a bit better. - Android App is decent, but for music it's unusable. I'm still using plex + plexamp because that experience is just so much better for me.

But, I don't regret moving my videos to JF. Plex Android app had terrible QA/QC where it would have regressions consistently every month. A bug where rewinding 30 seconds would push you forward instead of backwards would return at least 1 update every 2 months and that was frustrating.

I've been following this app for a while, and for a long time I was using a PR version of the app that kept the subscription list in order of time (which didn't exist for a really long time). But they finally merged it a while back, so the published app finally became usable for me.

This also confuses me as a resident of South Bay Area...

I've been researching ISPs every once in a while to see if new ISPs are able to provide decent deals to where I live... As of right now, here seems to be my options...

- AT&T used to charge maximum 5mbps/512kbps (for like something ridiculous like 60$/month), until Sonic came around and started using their infrastructure. Now Sonic & AT&T both provide something like 75 or 50 mbps/5mbps internet (for again.. 60$/month)

- Unfortunately, Sonic only reaches me through AT&T so its basically the same.

- Comcast is what I use for 150mbps/5mbps (around 70$ a month). Recently(and currently) getting episodes of massive uncorrectables. Technician came and found that a coax connector outside was fried, and replaced it.... 5 days later, I'm still getting uncorrectables, so clearly that wasn't the only problem. Fortunately, I'm getting free 20$ every time i complain, so it's sort of worth? lol...

- I can technically request comcast for their 2Gbps, but I'm not down to spend a massive amount of money for the installation costs w/ the overpriced monthly price tag.

- Common Networks shows most promise, but they can't reach me (despite my city being listed as one of the primary areas).

Even just having symmetric 100mbps/100mbps would be a godsend to this shit ISP situation.

Edit: formatting

They attach an RGB strip slightly above the keys on top of the keyboard (or for a grand piano/upright, they attach it probably somewhere on the key case).

Rousseau has been teaching a lot of other pianists how to do the same setup, so you can kind of see how its done in this other great piano youtuber, funguypiano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyQj7T6uLII

Then you obviously need some sort of bird's eye camera so that you can synchronize it with Synthesia.

Then you go into After Effects and add all the pretty colors and particle effects.

Sometimes they get fancy and add some RGB programming so that colors are changed on a beat by beat basis.

You mention "objective truth value" and "Objectively wrong", which the parent comment says " But the point is: who´s to judge which ones are right and which one are wrong?"

Sure, we can say 1 + 1 = 2, and that's objectively correct. But in terms of morality what is "objectively right" and "objectively wrong"? Moral objectively usually comes from some base assumption that has to be made. Whether its the existence of a higher being, happiness meter, or utilitarianism.

"Instead, we want a system such that over time, the objectively better views dominate and the objectively worse views shrink in influence." According to history, I wouldn't really say this is guaranteed either, but that's my opinion.

New Mac Pro 7 years ago

Not a strict 1:1 comparison, but I guess as a reference point? (Prices from US Amazon)

- Asus Rog Dominus Extreme - 1,677.48

- Intel Xeon W-3175X - 3.1 -> 3.8 boost (28 Core) - 3,078.49

- Decent Case - 200$ (maybe even bump to 400)

- 4 x 8 GB DDR4 3000 MHz Corsair C15 - 160$

- 970 EVO m.2 NVMe Drive - 69.99

- Radeon Pro 580X - Around 200$

- Noctua NH-D15 - 90$

- 1000W Titanium Seasonic - 256.92

Total: 5,732.88

Yeah there's some differences like having more cache, or more RAM support... but $5,999 from Apple is for the 8-core base model...

Edit: I clearly new to writing lists.

2. Python libraries' documentation leave a lot to be desired (compared to good javadocs). Just because your language is dynamically typed doesn't mean you don't need to describe what the expected shape of a parameter should be.

Could you give examples?

People hate on spacing, but people rarely talk about the benefits that specific spacing has.

Yeah, sure, you can complain about how strict it might be, and complain about how it can cause bugs when something is mis-indented.

But it's not like brace-languages are perfect either.

How about people who mix tabs & spaces within a single line because of lack of discipline or maybe a mistake from refactoring code? Imagine that nightmare of rereading that based on what editor you use.

Missing braces can sometimes be annoying and difficult to find, and placing the brace in the wrong place can result in bad code. Isn't that equivalent to a lingering whitespace in Python?

Yeah sure, you might say "Once you code enough, that usually doesn't happen" But Pythonistas can say the same thing with their indentation.

It's just a different way of programming. Get over it.

FYI, repl.it has Python3, you just need to select Python3 and not Python.

As far as I know, the __qualname__ property was introduced in Python3.3, so obviously you wouldn't see it in any Python 2 version.

Mmm, Pi-hole 8 years ago

Meanwhile, I use both pi-hole + ublock origin for my browsing experience contrary to Troy's initial statement.

Under Alpha Composition

  icon = snowy.load('snowflake.png')
  icon = snow.resize(snowflake, height=100)
  sunset[:100,200:300] = snowy.compose(sunset[:100,200:300], icon)
  snowy.show(sunset)
Pretty sure you meant to say on line 2 `icon = snowy.resize(icon, height=100)`
