Which ironically contain music. Often it's TikTok specific remixes of famous older songs. But does that mean that culture still revolves around music?

The issue with technology trying to be "smart" is that it's all nice and stuff as long as you are within the designed use case of it, but once you step outside, there's an issue. For example, what will the display do if

Yeah you'd have the same issue if you ran the expensive computation in Javascript. What you need is worker threads, and yes, you can't share objects with worker threads easily.

The shorts browser UI is a clone of the tiktok UI. I don't really like either, they could have innovated at least a little by introducing more powerful video controls like the seeking shortkeys that work on youtube for example. But it

I wonder how well it performs on Rust code, which is probably different in terms of patterns from C++ code. They mention the Fuchsia project but they seem to have focused on its C++ components. There is actually more Rust inside Fuchsia now

You don't have to beef up your v4 infra as much though. Think 4 powerful v4 routers instead of 5 or something. If the traffic to the big streaming providers doesn't have to run through these routers, you can save a lot. Same goes

On a protocol level, there is nothing in ipv6 preventing you from doing NAT. There are only less implementations of that, but it doesn't need buy-in from your ISP, as long as you control the router (and if not, you put a second router

The more traffic you can get onto ipv6 the less stress is on the v4 infrastructure. Each v6 connection is one your CGNAT doesn't have to provide an ipv4 port for.
