No, because they'd have to decompress and then recompress every stream. This would reduce already-lame quality (not that they'd particularly care) and require a bunch of resources.

I've been using Xcode since it was Project Builder. It has improved in many ways. And since the advent of the App Store, the insufferable/inexcusable nightmare of "signing" has vastly improved. Most of the problems I enc

Yes, the casual references to "well there are native parts 'sprinkled in'" sound like a PITA.

In addition to the other poster's on-point remarks, film cameras have always run at integer frame rates. We have generations of motion pictures shot at 24 FPS. Many TV shows (all, before video tape) were shot on film too, but I'm

I understand the origin of the 29.97 frame rate. They did have a choice, though: Shift the audio signal's frequency and orphan the (relatively limited number of) receivers at the time, or saddle generations of people with this dumb fra

Yep, once again thanks to broadcasters spreading FUD. When the progressive vs. interlaced debate raged during the development of ATSC, broadcasters whined that progressive would disrupt their entire production pipeline... which was utter BS

You should read about the invention of color television. There were two competing methods, one of which depended on a spinning wheel with colored filters in it. If I remember correctly, you needed something like a 10-foot wheel to have a 27

To store application-specific data about users. The Supabase doc or examples show this. Where else would you put such data? But what the docs don't cover is the provided Users table. Missing documentation is why I gave up on Supabase;

I don't even have to read this to agree, and point out that the problem with popular music today is that it has all been destroyed with DYNAMIC compression. The harm caused by this despicable trend exceeds that caused by lossy data com

Word's "ribbon" is a shitshow, and has been since day one. It's depressing to read about Word's entrenchment. This entire once-great application is now an execrable mess, with menus scattered under cryptic buttons (

"A lot of phones worked with 4G still but did not support using 4G for emergency calls." Now that should be illegal. It's absurd to think that everyone whose phone works just fine for regular calls is going to receive, unders

I don't know. Isn't Python still viewed as a mess now? I was thinking of taking the time to learn it as the best way to write cross-platform utilities, but encountered a lot of negative sentiment about its ecosystem. And all the e

Exactly. I'm mystified as to why this is not addressed anywhere in the article. Did the phone work to make phone calls or not? If yes, then a user should not be expected to guess that he can't call emergency services. And WHY coul
