Shameless plug: https://goteam.video Trying to provide an alternative to zoom/google. I wrote the UI and my friend did the backend. One key point for me personally is doing privacy right. No identifiable data in logs etc. T

This is an alternative to Zoom. Some background: I work for Lookback, and our main thing is doing video recordings of remote user research (UX) sessions. For the "remote" part we use our in-house built WebRTC server network. At so

It's way too complicated. I suspect it's some design by committee with large backer interests interfering. WebRTC is a collection of underlying protocols, SDP, STUN, DTLS, RTP, SCTP. A superficial glance it seems to make sense, e

When I was there, I learnt that Auroville share a lot with Sri Aurobindo and the Holy Mother, but the ashram/compounds in Pondicherry doesn't have as much to do with Auroville itself these days as it did back in the 60s-70s.

That's not a comparable number since number of cases depends on how many are tested. For example, Denmark have drive through testing centers, Sweden doesn't.

sure. I think it's a bit different though. upnp is like some remote control of your fw.

how would TCP hole punching even work? TCP has state and a handshake. UDP doesn't.

that's right. when establishing connection each side enumerates a bunch of "ice candidates". which is everything from your local LAN to outside NAT ip discovered via TURN servers (some restrictions due to privacy reasons). on

Java is also a place (yes I know coffe cups are much part of the imagery). Fish swims in the ocean. Pig is an animal. These do not really compare. Your half right about the devils. Beef however is per definition a cow killed to be eaten.

It sounds like you might be arguing the relative merits of preemptive multitasking in some generic case rather than the specific domain tokio operates in. Tokio is a lot about IO. The resources the scheduler is waiting for will almost exclu

Vague?! Let's not dwell on the irony of how you are sort of saying "dangerous" without not actually saying it. Instead let me be clear. You don't have to research Stallman for long to encounter a whole bunch of people (w

Because no one operates in a vacuum. A person's work is never just one person. You're part of a context working on other people's work and your work are in turn used by others. These people not only normalize abusive behavior

Without knowing for sure, I guess the concentration makes a big difference. Many things are toxic in high doses. The purpose of a vaper is to get as much oil in your lungs as possible. Not sure that compares to an essential oil diffuser.

It's not a simple as that. Good open source collaboration often requires team work. Peoples' beliefs manifest in how they interact with other people. The code of conduct moderate that interaction. It's not uncommon to see arg

Mobile phone cameras can do some pretty detailed close photography now. Wonder if one could train a ML model to recognize "quality fibres" using close up photography? A simpler variant would be to focus on stitching. Photographs o

At my company we did our own docker execution environment. We generally like docker's layers and packaging, but dislike the runtime. With AWS you already have a virtualization, why do we need another layer? We packaged a super slim Lin

Well put! It's also worth mentioning that because of the network conditions, UDP is a better choice than TCP. The reason is that the retransmissions in TCP are not helping with real-time video. However every protocol doing this must ha

In Sweden the notice period is typically the same on both behalfs. If they demand you give 4 month notice, they will also have to do that.

The choice of python as your shell would surely be as arbitrary as bash? There is a long history of alternative shells csh, tcsh, zsh, fish, etc. All with various level of abstraction and various amounts of "programming language type
