Maybe FCP isn't as good as using all of the cores?

The TOR Browser Bundle is a great example of what can be done. I think it's actually pretty effective, especially with the more paranoid modes. It doesn't provide font lists, doesn't run JS, doesn't expose WebGL, picks o

What are these competitors? From what I can tell, there aren't any viable "reddit clones" that it's competing with. Rather, it's the more controlled social media (Facebook/Tumblr/etc, profitable at this po

WebRTC's protocols are actually standardized at the IETF in the RTCWEB working group, by a large number of people. The W3C is in charge of the Javascript API (which is actually what people are complaining about here), again with a lot

When I visit the NYT, it gets a full IPv6 address, non-NAT. Isn't this just as bad? Should we tell everyone to turn off IPv6 support?

Don't forget Flash, the #1 tool for persistent tracking. Uninstalling Flash should be your first priority if you care about this.

I agree with a lot of this, but not turning off WebRTC in general. Certainly you should turn it off (or force TURN only) if you're trying to hide your IP behind a VPN. But IPv6 already causes you to lose the same amount of privacy as e

Firefox actually does do this. It can also use whatever gstreamer codecs you have installed (e.g. gstreamer-ffmpeg/libav).

by TD-Linux 11y ago
Firefox can actually use ffmpeg as a decoder. It would be a great option for supporting a lot of these formats. However, Mozilla can't ship it enabled, because the patent problem is very real. See, for example, all of the Play Store ap

Shumway actually works pretty well on a lot of the old avm1/2 animations. Few run perfectly, but it shows that it is a practical way forward.

Wow, that's a ridiculously defeatist attitude. Comparing reverse engineering a FPGA to landing on the moon? First of all, it's a relatively new field for open source. The icestorm project only got a complete synthesis to bitstream

I've since moved on to KiCAD and been pretty happy with it. Something like this board would still be near difficult to impossible, though, as impedance matching for the DDR lines doesn't really exist in KiCAD. I also ordered a few

Really nice design! Impressive routing, I was surprised you were able to fit two DDR chips on there as well. It's still too bad that all the tooling for this is closed source (Altium, Xilinx ISE / Vivado, with the latter being far

I don't even have it on my system. I wonder if it's some sort of UA detection thing? I tried appearing as Chrome 41 on Windows 7, but no luck. (firefox nightly on linux user here, with h.264/aac support provided by gstreamer)

I wouldn't say Shumway has failed, it's still an active and new project. I can pretty much use any "traditional" vector animated flashes on them. Video is still a problem due to codec patent issues, which is a bit sad be

It works fine for me without Flash. Even multi upload and drag and drop works. Unlike Facebook videos, which just fail.

I so far have not gotten Facebook to serve me the html5 video player, for whatever reason.

The Chrome sandbox isn't as strong as you might think. Flash needs access to a ton of stuff to work: - Camera / Microphone - Filesystem - GPU So there's plenty you can do without escaping the sandbox.

They will if you force a mobile user agent. I wish I knew why they didn't on desktop.

You're right, live video without Flash is not nearly as advanced. However, there are several options that work right now: - Plain old HTTP WebM stream. Only one resolution, but it works. - MPEG-DASH - very similar to HLS, but implement

If you aren't a Reddit user, how can you judge what is causing the death of Reddit? It's your personal anecdote of why you don't use Reddit, but clearly there is an enormous userbase that was using Reddit despite the low amou

I wonder how the hardware encoders and decoders compare to software implementations. They of course use less CPU, but also generally tend to compress worse and have higher latencies than software implementations. Is nVidia's hardware s

It didn't prevent PDF.js from being built (though maybe it's not "better") Though I haven't had problems with poppler, so I don't quite understand what is bad about it.
