Another +1 for Mercury, simple to start and really does just work.

I very much doubt they made that decision based on bandwidth costs though. They've burned a billion dollars already, don't think they are thinking about margins much at the moment.

Random comment on the app: Using a 4-character room code is a really really bad idea. "Zoom-bombing" became a thing because 9 digit room codes without an additional passcode was fine, before millions of new people started using it

I think it's fine, nothing much actually changed...

I highly doubt that's the case for most people when using Github on a daily basis though.

Honestly, it's a positive improvement. Better information layout, and the code is still front and center. None of the core functions really changed place, just changed padding a little.

I grew up in Miami, live in NYC now, 79 feels insanely hot to me now. I'm sure there's some science to this, but it's probably either acclimation to the "average" temperature, or maybe differences in humidity? Also

No they didn't, big difference between encrypting E2E a 2 person peer-to-peer call vs encrypting a call with 50 participants going through an SFU. They based it on Jitsi, which does have SFU-based E2E encryption working in beta, so the

The multiplayer thing is my biggest gripe. It is unfathomable to me that Unity has seemingly ceded multiplayer functionality to Photon, considering the most valuable games on the planet right now are all multiplayer-first.

It looks like Agora is the one claiming E2E, which I agree with you, is almost certainly wrong. https://www.agora.io/en/videocall-2/

If I can just offer one bit of feedback, if you just type any email and password in the "Sign in / Register" page, it just creates an account for you if it doesn't exist. There's a ton of reasons you don't want

Well even if people use ipfs.io or infura gateways, the content served via IPFS is not being "served" from those central servers, just cached, so it's not exactly the same situation.

How is this different from `hub`? https://github.com/github/hub It seems to do pretty much the same things, except it works a little more separate from git itself whereas hub is designed to shim on top of git. edit: nv

Where the citation on that? From what I’ve seen, P2P is more common than SFUs, if for no other reason than they are way simpler to implement architecturally for small amount of participants.

It doesn't have to be that way though, that's the point of PWAs. A way to use web technologies for local applications.

I don't think authoritarian tactics like that, while effective, would fly in the US. I for one would not be ok with that. Once the government takes that authority once, who knows what they end up doing with it when they see they can ge

Could you point me to one of those? I have a hard time believing there are low-latency drawing e-ink tablets that run full Android and render ordinary android apps.

One thing that's rarely mentioned about this device, but is the reason I sprung for it, is that the developers left an SSH interface into the device over USB, so you can program custom apps! People have made some neat stuff, and there&

The cloud sync/storage is pretty rudimentary, no versions or anything like that. But they have an app for desktop/phone so you can download and backup. There are unofficial client libraries for the cloud API as well, so it can be

I have a remarkable and use it for reading academic paper PDFs all the time. The software has gotten far better over time.

That's up to you, but the drawing experience feels wayyyy better on the remarkable than on the smooth glass of the iPad, from my own experience. It's also far lighter and really does feel paper-y.

Interesting... I wonder how the synchronous -> asynchronous switch could impact the amount of attention given to presentations for non-flashy companies. In the in-person model, investors sit through the whole presentation. In this one, t

Maybe, but there's no reason for it to send any audio anywhere while it's parsing ultrasound, so not a privacy problem.

I mean, we have already been exploring the solar system with machines, for a good while. Humans are much more capable today (and for the foreseeable future) at conducting a wide range of tasks in space than the machines we can currently sen
