What I mean is that it shouldn't have those black bars if I view on mobile in portrait orientation. It should fill the whole screen, just like it does for landscape videos if the phone is rotated to landscape. Also, the web interface

I've often wondered if youtube should abandon the fight and allow for portrait videos. After all, a lot of viewers are probably on mobile where they'd rather view it in portrait orientation anyway.

When Fi was announced they mentioned that public wifi traffic would go through a VPN to google's datacenters. At the time I assumed that they'd just run ALL traffic through the VPN, since that'd make for some very seamless s

I think you're misunderstanding what happened, there are three people in the story. Bentley asked Knuth to write a literate program to solve the problem. He then asked McIlroy to critique the solution. McIlroy was the one that provi

In this particular case, the HTML5 <input type=color> works great. (Not on IE yet, but there is a polyfill.) In the long run, shadow DOM should make it easier to make framework agnostic widgets.

A B2B startup of any size will have a very hard time if those 8 hours are during business hours. Depending on the nature of the service, of course. Where I work now (a small web-based software-as-a-service) an 8 hour outage would be catast

I've been using jet extensively for a few months, whenever it's cheaper than amazon. A lot of the time it's cheaper than the in-store price at walmart. They definitely have their own inventory. Things like cereal and diaper

In summary, what book printers used to do is have a line of numbers on the title page of the book, which they would erase one at a time with each printing run. The reason why is that they would be reusing the original plates in the printin

At $100/TB/mo? I don't think so. S3 is $30/TB/mo. Unless you have some compelling reason to have the blobs in the database, like indexing them, you'd be better off keeping them somewhere else. I guess if you

Good catch. I've recently resorted to using wolfram alpha for this sort of math, since it does an excellent job of keeping units straight: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=64+bits+*+400+million

I believe HDMI CEC is a potential solution to this. It is a way to send keystrokes (remote-strokes?) back up the HDMI cable from the TV to the set-top box. This means that there's no need to have a separate remote. Now, all that need

It says that the greenhouses are transparent. At 20 feet down that would mean something like 25% of the sunlight is left [1]. I'm surprised that strawberries will grow in that little light, since they don't do as well in the sha

ping packets (ICMP) can have any data you want as a payload (1,500 bytes or so). This is a joke filesystem that lets you store data by putting it in ping packets and sending them to other systems. To read the data, you just wait for the p

For me at least, it's because those without a few years of experience aren't going to be able to be productive enough to be worth their pay. In fact, even if money isn't an issue, they can add more workload to the senior mem

Can you go into more detail about the pain points? I imagine there are lots of readers who have been blessed to not have major medical issues on their own insurance yet and might not be familiar with the process. I know that when we had o

I realize this doesn't help you now, but when I switched carriers a few years ago I decided to port my primary number to google voice (for a one-time $20 fee) and then got a new carrier number that I have never shared with anyone. Not

Here is a chart that covers the time period in question. The 1880s was right in the middle of a long period of slow deflation, so a bottle of coke was actually getting slightly more expensive for a period of nearly 30 years: http:/&#

I've never understood the appeal of the dollar shave club. Razors are very cheap when bought in bulk, and they take up very little space to store, even an entire year's supply. Wouldn't it make more sense and save money to

Zero doesn't have to be a special case. In ruby 0 is a truthy value, as well as the empty string. The only things that are falsey are false and nil. Truthy/falsey means when used in a conditional or after a unary !. So you stil

I imagine that using rust for this is going to mainly provide security benefits. Parsing the MP4 file isn't very CPU intensive; it's a straightforward binary format. (Decoding the video stream is what is CPU intensive, and this

I hope that someone ports mruby to this. I've come to terms with javascript's syntax (via coffeescript), but I'd still rather not deal with javascript's semantics.

I've got on my to do list something similar, feed the raw wave data from some pop songs into an RNN and then see what the resulting music sounds like. Am I a fool for trying? It would be a lot of data compared to a midi track.

I can understand that it'd be frustrating to have a blank screen. It's surprising that Apple couldn't keep the screen on all the time like the LG G Watch series has been able to do. I get 24 hours of battery life with the f

You're right, TCP/IP wouldn't work. UDP would work fine though, as well as anything lower level. You'd just continually send packets at a rate that was slow enough that there'd be no reason that the other side wou

I've got a few pieces of advice for you to consider. I'm not sure what will work for you so I'll hit a few broad areas. One thing is to make FIXMEs, TODO lists, and otherwise write down the areas that might need improvement,
