I can vouch for the 2x from Canada->California, I'm making more than 2x what I did in Canada (Toronto) now. I don't know about the 3x or 4x, maybe sillysaurus was making like $30k in Canada before, or maybe he's just some

The kill or be killed attitude they mention in this article is interesting because I almost immediately noticed the difference when moving from Canada to California. It's a different animal, that's for sure.

The best is when the desktop site fully loads and then some loading page comes up so that it can further load the "mobile experience" and then that "experience" turns out to be a total travesty.

Most people just want the damn thing to work. Studios, whether the EFF and others like it or not, are not going to be changing their stance on DRM any time soon. It seems that more and more media is being consumed on a subscription basis

I think it's a reference to the DRM thing from yesterday. Honestly it was more of Mozilla capitulating to the DRM gods, it's not like they're out there pounding the pavement for DRM.

Honestly the thing I found most helpful when learning how opengl works is to write a rasterizer from scratch. Then all of the buffers and shaders and everything made a lot more sense after that.

Interesting... I should do an experiment to see how many encodes I can do at once and what ends up happening.

by jgh 12y ago
You don't need to do that though. The container or packet format is completely independent from the encoder format and they're all fairly simple, so packetizing compressed audio and video data and sending multiple streams, while

I've never actually seen this code before. I find it interesting that he found that the frames were arriving 500ms after capture, but I've used a similar technique (to how I did it in VideoCore) for video conferencing that achiev

Thanks! It's a side-project but I try to fix any bugs as quickly as I can and I've got some new features planned/in development for the future.

Why should you have to encode twice for HLS and RTMP? The only reason to encode twice or more would be if you wish to have different movie properties (i.e. bitrate, fps, resolution, etc) For example, for h.264, once you get the NAL units f

Encoding is done in hardware on the client side and doesn't increase CPU load by very much. I'm using the same trick in a library I made to do game broadcasting from iOS and honestly network traffic increases CPU load more than e

Very cool! I've recently open sourced a good portion of my game broadcasting SDK, which now has a few people using it for purely making camera apps to stream to RTMP services. Mine is not nearly as refined as this one, nor do I have

I couldn't help but think of Mitch Hedberg's joke "here's a picture of me when I was younger" when reading their pitch about sending videos to the future. It seems what they're doing is kind of like what Color

Maybe it's just me, but I now have a hard time telling if the shift button is pressed or not now. I'm probably too used to the old colours.

Between 2008 and 2012(?) they didn't fill the quota at all. Prior to the recession the quota would be filled on the first day.

Doesn't the PS4 already do that? I mean they demo'd a continuous recording feature at the original announcement last year. Uploading those recordings to YouTube/Facebook/etc seems like a natural next step for that.

I've been a Tonx subscriber for almost two years now... Not exactly sure how to feel about this, I hope it doesn't really change anything. I really enjoy their service, the coffee they send is always fantastic, and the quantity is

Oh I'm not against moving around (in the last 4 years I've lived in Toronto, San Diego, Sacramento, and Los Angeles)... My wife and I just found SF/Northern California is not really our taste ;)

I interviewed with Skype once, I ended up not taking the job because it would have meant moving to SF and I don't really want to do that, but they asked me to do something interesting. They asked me to complete an assignment that was

I agree with you and share your concerns, as someone with similar posting habits.

I have been a lurker and infrequent poster here for a number of years and have lately been feeling increasingly alienated from the HN community. I am not on "the in" by any means in startup culture or silicon valley (in fact, I l

I have, and there is meaningful discussion that happens on reddit. And Fark. And other sites that are capable of mixing humor with commentary. HN just seems to take itself too seriously and people making jokes is generally frowned upon, to

Joking around is something that almost never happens on HN because this site tends to be full of tight-wad pedants who take themselves too seriously.

I wonder why Akinator and Pocket God are in Entertainment and not Games...
