That'd require a lot more extra processing power than you might think, as video encoding is very demanding processing-wise. Say you have a 1h30min long movie. Without anything like this, you only need to encode that 1h30min once[1], af

DRM isn't really comparable to traditional crypto in the sense that crypto is intended to protect your secrets from anyone who doesn't have the key, while DRM is about preventing someone with the key from copying the unprotected c

Speaking of mobile development, something that's been annoying me for a long time is that while you can "emulate" the devicePixelRatio of a mobile device, it doesn't actually seem to do anything meaningful. For example,

Avisynth should run in Wine, but there is also Vapoursynth[1] (which works natively on OSX & Linux) and a NNEDI3 port[2] for it. After getting both of them up and running, a script like this[3] ran with the vspipe program that comes wit

Well, OSX Preview seems to be doing something interesting as I can't seem to find an exact match with some quick attempts, but whatever method they use it looks rather similar to Lanczos scaling.

NNEDI3, which I mentioned in another comment, can be used for video upscaling, and was in fact built for video processing in the first place.

by Daiz 11y ago
Waifu2x is not actually the first or only image scaler to use neural networks - NNEDI3[1], an Avisynth[2] filter used for deinterlacing can also do really nice image upscaling (and it's a lot faster than waifu2x). Here's an exam

Just a note: Seeing as this is achieved by only showing (distorted) portions of the encoded video, using the 4K option is actually beneficial even if you don't have a 4K screen. Here's a sample of what the encoded video looks like

You know what would be interesting? If the site also had a filter for streaming/digital rental and digital buying. It'd be a pretty concrete example of how terrible the digital media buying landscape is as you'd see the list

You could use Function.prototype.bind in a couple ways, or even Array.prototype.map (though sadly you can't really do new Array(n).map, if that was true you could make this a one-liner). // new Array(n) could just be []

I'd say there are ways to combine both approaches - develop userscripts. While you can do tricks to use other libraries, simpler userscript development is easiest with just vanilla JS. It's how I got into JS myself - I first fixed
