I personally switched to foobar2000[1] years ago and never looked back. Some of the big reasons back then were gapless playback and proper unicode support (I have quite a bit of Japanese music in my collection), and the fact that it doesn't

I use Windows as my main OS, and by default npm -g installs packages to %AppData%, which is user-specific. I guess it's different on *nix, then.

...Which would be equivalent to npm install -g XXX, whereas to replicate npm install XXX you'd need virtualenv. I don't think there even is an equivalent to pip install XXX without virtualenv with Node/npm (global system-wide installation f

Man, global system-wide installations that require admin rights by default? That's certainly something! Quite the stark comparison to Node.js and npm, where everything is installed locally into the current directory (under node_modules) by

I think all CAPTCHA solving "services" that offer reCAPTCHA solving rely on human work, and thus work on a delay (which obviously is just a minor inconvenience for any mass spamming operation). Here's a pretty nice article about it.[1] ReCA

The more immature part of 4chan has for quite literally years tried to do that with the word "nigger"[1], with no real apparent success (not that I've checked myself, though). One of the easiest things done to counter malicious input is to

Having some paper and a pen can certainly do wonders - just last week I was working on something involving a lot of trigonometry (collision detection in a game), and being able to visualize and think about it on paper helped a lot. Quick

In case of live streaming, the video is only encoded once and then distributed to a whole bunch of users. If you were doing unique watermarks, you'd have to encode an individual stream for every single user . Encoding is much more taxing

by Daiz 14y ago
It wouldn't really be a feasible solution for video, though. You'd have to re-encode the whole thing for every individual user, which would be incredibly inefficient. Even if you're showing the watermark in just a few places, it'd still req

Yeah, that's the impression I've got as well, which is why I don't ultimately like EME. It would be a slight improvement compared to the current situation (since you could at least move stuff like video playback to HTML5), but would probabl

The problem I have is that I can't really imagine the catalog subscription model to be feasible if any and all catalog entries were available to download without DRM. Someone with a fat pipe could just spend a month downloading absolutely e

I'm actually a bit conflicted about support for DRM schemes in HTML5. I absolute loathe DRM and I wish every damn publisher of every damn type would come to their senses and actually sell DRM-free digital products. However, there is one cas

I'd say the biggest issue of going with not-JavaScript is the fact that if they used a JS library for template compiling, they could use it both server-side (like they do now) and client-side, eg. for previewing article/code changes with

Yet another case that demonstrates that as long as DRM is involved (in this case, being restricted to online reading of titles only), you're never actually buying anything, merely renting them indefinitely. http://xkcd.com/488/ keeps be

As others have pointed out, Allan's "reply" is quite the non-reply with the lack of concrete proof and evidence of the supposed "copyright infringement". What I personally found interesting, however, was Allan's initial reaction to the Flat

What I personally don't understand is that if DesignModo did actually copy assets from LayerVault, why doesn't LV name said assets and possibly include screenshots or whatever in the DMCA claim? Or make a post about it. Or really, anything

I'm going to answer you in detail, but it's going to take a while since I'm going to do some additional test encodes for it. Also, you should note that I am only talking about your Beamr Video product in my post - I haven't used or tested y
