The server would have to downscale the received stream. That's at least one round of downscaling for each participant, possibly more if you want to send different quality versions of the same stream down to different participants.

You snark, but what happens when EV adoption picks up and suddenly those houses need to move a lot more electrons?

It makes it harder to innovate in anti-social directions, and may catch some useful things in the crossfire. But on balance, slowing the rate of "innovation" for these companies that want you to shovel all data everywhere into the

Noita does interesting things with terrain deformation, and this is a good GDC talk about how it does so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prXuyMCgbTc

The fact that shortcuts have become less and less discoverable, and nobody has cared enough to educate users, is the cause of an incredible amount of lost productivity. "User friendliness" is paternalistic and limiting. You want a

Energy is the currency of the future. - CEO Nwabudike Morgan, "The Centauri Monopoly" I was going to link to its page on Paean to SMAC but it turns out that quote is from "Global Energy Theory", a tech that didn't m

Don't forget that blocklist admins can be jerks, too. If I run a blocklist that gets popular, I could make people I don't like disappear without anyone really noticing.

It's a great principle when you can ship one version every 18 months or so. A better maxim for today: "be strict in what you accept, and send garbage now-and-then to keep the others on their toes".

In Australia, our independent public broadcaster reads like a clickbait rag. I routinely find basic spelling, grammar and punctuation errors in newspapers. That's not how I used to remember the news.

It's my default mode of working. Even in a statically-typed language (I mostly write Haskell these days), I often have one buffer for the things I'm working on, and 1..N buffers of references or parallel changes.

Can't be. Beardguy uses the words "open source".

Indeed. The folklore I heard is that you can get performance gains because with the handrolled version, GHC is able to inline the instance dictionaries.

This is not correct. DDG's bangs delegate to each site's search engine.

Similarly with GTLDs. Many companies have to register their own .sucks so someone else doesn't stand a website up there. What a pointless waste of money.

From (I think) an old Joshua Bloch talk on API design, paraphrased: * If you generalise based on one example, you will get a flexible API that can handle only that example. * If you generalise based on two examples, you will get a flexible

A lot of people believed DMCA was bad law, and the thin end of the wedge when it was passed.

Because when we were more "all or nothing", corps were meeting us halfway and starting to open their drivers. Pragmatism works today, but sacrifices tomorrow.

It is so, so tempting to use today's power to silence people who say things you don't like. It is much more prudent to imagine the powers you ask for today in the hands of those who wish you ill. Imagine what would have happened t
