Same.

Give the EPA a break guys, they're doing asbestos they can.

Something something tragedy; something something statistic!

Now off to the Gulag!

Splatoon 2

I'd argue that this is the essential game for the Switch. Most fun I've had in 30+ years of gaming.

Internal URL shortener, every single time. They get rave reviews and in one case ended up being considered a core service that had to be up.

The fact is, many open source software projects provide their own Dockerfile (and in many cases, images). Using these is akin to downloading and deploying a release tarball.

That's one diddle that can't be undone. Does the author really think deleting his old posts is going to somehow cover all the cached copies of his data? Not to mention all the little picadillos in the metadata Axiom has on him that they gleaned from said data? Articles like this make me fear for tech journalism.

A merger of Netflix and HBO is such a face-smackingly obvious win/win I can't imagine why it hasn't happened already.

Because HBO isn't independently held; its owned by Time Warner.

Yup, I remember using them. WindowBlindsX if I recall. It worked alright, but it was never as snappy as shades were.

I feel your pain. I was using BetterTouchTool to remap the default behavior of that green +, but eventually decided it was silly to use an add-on for something I should be able to change via `defaults`, so I just trained myself to hit Option when I wanted to maximize.

The window system itself was better-thought-out and less-confusing than Windows's was

I miss window shades so much.

I'd never read this before -- thank you! Especially liked this bit:

But precisely because all the archetypes are here, precisely because Casablanca cites countless other films, and each actor repeats a part played on other occasions, the resonance of intertextuality plays upon the spectator. Casablanca brings with it, like a trail of perfume, other situations that the viewer brings to bear on it quite readily, taking them without realizing it from films that only appeared later

The title alone is priceless.

From the article:

FFmpeg is a versatile video processing software supporting various video/audio formats for the standard ABR transcoding workflow. However, it cannot handle a number of technical requirements that are specific to Twitch’s operation. For example,

1) Frame rate downsampler Our typical incoming bitstreams have 60fps (frames per second), and we transcode them to 30fps for lower bit-rate variants (e.g., 720p30, 480p30, etc.). On the other hand, since Twitch is a global platform, we often receive incoming streams of 50fps, most of which are from PAL countries. In this case, the lower bit-rate variant should be downsampled to 25fps, instead of 30fps. Simply deleting every second frame is not a good solution here. Our downsampler needs to behave differently for the two different kinds of incoming bitstreams. One kind has constant frame rates less than 60fps, and the other has irregular frame dropping, which makes its average frame rates less than 60fps.

2) Metadata insertion Certain information needs to be inserted into the HLS bitstreams to enhance the user experience on the player side. By building our own transcoder and player, Twitch can control the full end-to-end ingest-transcode-CDN-playback pipeline. This allows us to insert proprietary metadata structures into the transcoder output, which are eventually parsed by our player and utilized to produce effects unique to Twitch.

Best of luck to you, then. :)

TBH, it was really just a rant based on recent statements I'd overheard.

Very useful, but not entirely the same as the the author is demonstrating. What you referenced is just for ads; what he's trying to fog is the order of the actual SERP.

No.
