The concept isn't new but the usability is. This was very hard for normal people to do until very recently.

Ah, that might indeed be it. I was working with ffmpeg so the configuration was rather easy and transparent.

Do you have data to back that up? I've found that when comparing SSIM and PSNR, NVENC's H.264 encoder is able to quite handily beat x264 for quality while targeting the same bitrate and encode speed. This was using a Gen 2 Maxwell

For livestreaming, NVIDIA (I believe AMD as well actually) graphics cards offer NVENC, which is a hardware HEVC encoder that can easily meet most people's needs.

QuickSync works but it's also worth noting that NVIDIA supports it on their second generation Maxwell cards.

ffvp9 is indeed awesome. There was a talk at VideoLan Dev Days about the development. They outperform the reference decoder and optimized basically everything they could touch.

Interesting and useful but when you put "Cloud" in your name and market to developers, I think of Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Rackspace etc., not Drive/Dropbox and the consumer products. That this wasn't your aim wasn&#x27

I'm no expert but in my (limited) experience, there are some super handy datatypes and features that PostgreSQL supports that MySQL doesn't: - Arrays, particularly with GIN indexes. This makes things like tagging fantastic in

Paragon puts in a non-trivial amount of effort to build functionality that people are willing to pay for. I'm not sure how that's bad at all.

They've been known to send cease and desist letters at the very least: http://www.itbusiness.ca/news/netflix-sends-cease-and-desist... Not sure if it's ever become more serious than that though.

Typically, if they don't meet a guaranteed delivery date, they'll give you a month extension of Prime to make up for it. If you make a few same-day orders during the busy holiday period, you can usually get enough misses to buy yo

Bitcasa is even worse. Not only did they sell unlimited and retract it, they claim zero knowledge encryption without providing it, as the key is linked to the password which is used to access your account through the web interface. The sad

Such a system would be wonderful, particularly if it used Backblaze B2 or Google Nearline instead of Glacier (to get around the hours of delay). Unfortunately, no such system yet exists and the complexities of dealing with many people'

Consumer accounts have more complete access to Google products. For example there's currently no way to get a Project Fi number on an Apps for Work account. Also the business plans are theoretically limited to 1TB per users for organiz

Those things are all nice but they don't necessarily bring superiority. For example I've found RawTherapee's AMAZE algorithm to be superior to Lightroom and Photoshop when it comes to demosaicing RAW files. It deals noticeabl

I tried LibGDX but the thing that troubled me was that while other engines had a relatively straightforward approach to cross platform builds (click a button or build a particular target), LibGDX required you to write a bunch of boilerplate

There's a gaping hole in your argument where you don't acknowledge that a student has any responsibility. Example situations where the low grade is absolutely the student's fault: - The student doesn't go to class -

Google's Polymer [0] is probably closer to React than Angular. Angular's more of an application framework. Polymer's more of a Web Components[1] framework, which I think is closer to what React is doing. [0]: https:/&#x

Unfortunately even if it did, it's unlikely to have the subset of music a lot of us listen to. For example I listen to a lot of music from Japan and a lot of smaller artists who aren't a part of the big labels. As such I have a fe

I'm curious though, how much of this offshore cash was earned in the US? For example although Google's advertising algorithms and engineering may be largely based in the US, its advertising revenues come from all over the world. G
