> there's no gain from my perspective Maybe this'll broaden that perspective a little: Apple devices since the iPhone 8 support USB-PD with C-to-Lightning cables now, and it's much faster. Decent USB-C chargers are a not

Does MagSafe charging cause a Macbook Pro to heat up in the same way that USB-C charging on the left side of the device does? When I saw that on my new M1 Max, I assumed so, so I never used it. (Also because I had USB-C charging for everyth

I think there's more drive for that than you'd expect. The camera breakout kit is really popular in my circles. Not for cameras, but for talking to USB audio interfacs.

Beyond that, this is becoming more and more common in other languages. Anyone who ever touches TypeScript will immediately recognize it, for example, or (with a bit more of a stretch) Java/C#/Kotlin/Scala data classes and rec

On the scale of banal evil, corporate tax accountants are a lot lower than the people directing them to do what they're doing. The benefits of Fancy Tax Practices are not accruing the people enacting them. Hard agree on the second clau

Getting a normal user to get you a MAC address would be... challenging. Especially on devices that randomize them.

I don't think Apple is claiming they were always good about this, though for quite a long time they've at least been making some movements towards more sustainable products--as an example, they were an early adopter of minimal-p

This post reads more in line with what it seems like you're actually saying with some sarcastiquotes around "no scientific consensus".

Anecdotally, most of the folks I hear espousing this viewpoint in the Bay Area are not big on the "provide housing" part of this--more of a "begone from our sight" sort of thing. It's good to see some recognition

WebRTC as currently implemented has very hard and by its nature has very low audience caps. There's a reason why WebRTC-to-HLS gateways exist; WebRTC by itself isn't substitutable, and if you're going to act like this I'

You are absolutely correct. It's one of the reasons why these days I'm bearish on the future of independently-run video. The numbers are aggressively bad. People use YouTube and Twitch because they have to , not because they wan

DebConf does host their own HLS streams. (They use video.js, which was started by the cofounders of my former employer Mux; I'm pretty familiar with it.) I don't intend to suggest that it's impossible by any means; I've

Are you offering to pay for them to host their own streaming solution and volunteering to handle technical support for users who have trouble with it? This gotcha-game is tiring. People don't have to like Amazon to realize that they an

I am not keying on that piece of flak shot in the air to cover the genocide normalization. Instead I ignored it, because it's rhetorical redirection. The claim at hand is the one I quoted: however bad they were, they were infinitely l

The context that I am operating under "artists wanting to make things affordable for ordinary people, at their own expense no less , should not have to battle scalpers to make it happen".

This is a silly and frankly ungracious misreading. Nobody is saying that an artist shouldn't be able to price something however they'd like, to target whatever cohort they'd like to target. But if an artist wants to charge

I agree with you. Boston has an old reputation for sketchy areas. It surely was justified at one point, too (as well as outlying areas; Somerville was a bit eyebrow-raising when I was young, I remember that). But for most of the city, espec
