I did see the beta calendar. It's a start for sure, but most back catalog titles still have zero information in terms of when to expect new chapters for them, so there is definitely still work to be done in that regard. And on the cale

I've done a couple impressions threads since your initial launch last year[1][2], and it's nice to see that there's been some improvements in regards to matters brought up in them, though there's definitely still room fo

There absolutely isn't a labor shortage with translators. There's plenty of talent out there, it's just that many are not willing to work for the peanuts that big companies are offering so they end up doing something else to

This article was widely derided among translator/localizer circles, because the true fact of the matter is that the only thing causing "shortage" is that the pay is shit. A lot of the article here builds up on statements by D

Absolutely untrue for Steam. A game on Steam might require kernel anti-cheat, but you're obviously not obligated to buy or play those games just by installing Steam. And as mentioned, I don't put much trust in kernel anti-cheats i

I did make a better Goodreads. But only for my very narrow use case. Namely, I just wanted to keep track of what I read. I didn't care for the social aspects of it nor the discovery part of it. I did want certain statistics on my readi

waifu2x is not suited for actual anime almost at all - its upscaling is primarily trained on sharp lineart, and lineart in actual anime is generally quite soft. Anime4K has even less going for it than waifu2x does, it's pretty much jus

Boy howdy, this is one subject where I loathe saying "I told you so", but... I sure told you so.[1] HTML DRM is antithetical to the Open Web itself. It was built on a sham of "plugin-free" media playback, but all we did

It's 100% a DRM thing. Desktops are pretty much the most powerful platform to watch Netflix on yet the most restricted in terms of available video quality due to their open nature. For example, my desktop with an i7-2600k (that's

That's hardly a problem. Since they can run JS, they could just add the TypeScript compiler itself into Excel and compile code on demand (and cache the results).

A bit surprised that there's no TypeScript support, especially considering how verbose metadata you have to write as a result[1]. That whole thing could be made much simpler with some TS and JSDoc, eg. /** * adds 42 to

You're right, time efficiency certainly isn't as big of a concern for companies with effectively infinite resources to throw at encoding, but the rest of us probably want to finish our encodes within this decade :) (the reference

My personal analogy for this is that video encoding standards are basically like toolkits for building houses, while encoding software is like a robot trained to build those houses using the tools in question. New standards bring new tools

I would disagree with that... Netflix's subs might be passable when they don't have to deal with translating on-screen text, but when that is the case (like with anime, which they've been investing a lot of money into) the pr

That's interesting to hear from someone that railroaded DRM into the HTML spec, a prime example of what could be called 'weaponised' web (could really call anything moving the open web more toward closed web that, really) con
