SwiftFin seems to do the job, but this is also a good suggestion.

This is awesome, no, I was not. Excellent suggestion.

Basically exactly this. Also, a lot of their "in production" open source projects are not "in production" but were generated and released as part of their broken promotion process.

The Jellyfin user experience would be a ton better if the client app for the iphone/ipad actually took advantage of local playback instead of relying on transcoding. Random seeks, rewinds, and especially subtitles timing are all better

Generalizing is how we reason, and having been on boards and worked with them closely, I can straight up tell you that's not how it works. In general, everyone is professional unless there's something really bad. This was quite un

Yeah, Schmidt is whatever is on the opposite end of the spectrum from "mature" and "ethical." https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidjeans/2023/10/23/eric-schm...

I think you're completely backward. A board doesn't do that unless they absolutely have to. Think back in history. For example, consider the absolutely massive issues at Uber that had to go public before the board did anything. T

I don’t think so. It’s been like this all my life - even as a kid.

I, too, talk to random people. For some reason, apparently, I look like the kind of person people should open up to, and so they approach me and oh boy do they open up. I get the crazies - moon landing denialists, people who think other peo

Yah, I know from friends at ford and vw that there's still vxworks and qnx, but even there, good grief, a-b with confirmed boot is about as basic as you can get. I confess I've seen incredible sloppiness about when a confirmation

CPU designers are so professional about verification and specification that they _dwarf_ software. There's just no comparison.

Well, go apply here: https://www.cymer.com/careers/ Given the criticality of the tech, I'm sure the price will be met.

Rivian is an embedded use case, though, which is not at all like a fleet of servers. Having worked for companies that produce network devices - including devices that are unreachable for example for 6 months of the year - and on software in

do you guys not have confirmed boot and swizzling to fallback images?

No, it’s more an illustration that I was forgetting when the transition occurred. In reality it was probably 2002 or 2004 before the pain stopped.

Amazingly, a classic first release Macintosh was vastly worse. Blurry and visible scan lines/interlace.

The horrible sound of high frequency CRT screaming meant that I couldn’t go into many electronics areas or stores until the nineties.

No. And it doesn’t matter for their use case.

it does not work as well. I have this deep seated fear that NNs will be the death of the lessons learned from 1970-2010. After all, if you can use massive amounts of compute to materialize what seems to be a good enough function approximato

I think that’s right. Every time I go look at it I just marvel at how awful it is, like an alien designing photo editing software by looking at some screen shots and feature lists but never editing a single image. Compare with Affinity’s so

If you go back a day or two I'd have said the thing for The Escapist not being willing to put themselves in jeopardy but here we are. Companies are stupid sometimes.

this breaks select to send and is a terrible reduction in capability. you can always wrap channels to make them worse and less capable, but your API should expose the more capable option.

exactly. you can't abstract over channels easily unless you're missing the point of channels.

I agree with you that people are noticing that Twitter going back to the size it was in 2015 has not really impacted the product, but it has definitely impacted the business. Musk's handling of twitter has been awesome for correcting h

Without insider information, which I don't have, who knows. But I will say this: 1. cisco is not a consumer company. they tried with linksys, bailed. tried with scientific atlanta, bailed. no surprise that they bailed on PD. 2. having
