Are you thinking of Media Player Classic? Mplayer/Mplayer2 use their own bundled ffmpeg as VLC does.

Containers aren't virtualized, they're just isolated from each other. That's why they're cool. Instead of working at the IaaS level for each app, you can have IaaS provide a cluster for containers to run in, and then put

No, it's just that their workload is not very well served by any RAID levels: many small files of which it's okay to completely lose a disk's worth and are very randomly and unevenly accessed. They actually only wanted load b

Thank you for that concept. I'm going to go have a drink and hold my head for a bit, but it's definitely a useful way to think about it.

He didn't provide empirical evidence because there are already resources for that. This is a personal anecdote and is being shared because personal anecdotes are effective in making people think in ways that many won't be moved to

Also it's a compounding process. Having a game that's fun only when you're succeeding selects for players that like that, which creates a social component that makes it so it's only fun to succeed. I don't find this

No. Stalking is a specific thing (for one, it has a specific subject) that is not what we're talking about here (generic behavior, amongst other differences). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalking

KVM is full machine emulation (i.e. hardware is emulated, and you can run different kernels inside the guests than you do on the host). Docker uses LXC which is like BSD Jails, most of the advantages of VMs but you don't have to emulat

Except when it is... I can't imagine having a compulsion as core as sexual desire which you can't satisfy without horribly damaging another person is anything but terrifying.

They don't seem to mention this, but I'd say everyone that uses d.o git repos should definitely verify their set of authorized keys.

These are the average developer. Every time I touch a new project it's in need of security updates. Any time a site gets owned, there's no accountability or logging or anything. Any time a security issue does manage to get found it's as if

To say I disagree is a massive understatement. I've seen teams try to use wrappers and just mess everything up because they don't understand what's actually going on in the underlying system. Git has the concepts it has because they're all

My experience with Drupal is: 1) Okay, this is a decent system for people who can't code to cobble together a mostly-working prototype of the thing they need, so long as they're flexible enough to work with it. 2) Why aren't my clients flex

Most of the people I know with this problem have trouble even meeting people, which tends to be a prerequisite for making friends and forming relationships - let alone successful long-term ones that could become marriages.

I don't know the answer here, but it's a solid trend. SVG just seems to get completely neglected. Sure if you're animating things and you're doing so in a world before CSS3 transitions, manipulating hundreds of attributes at 60fps in the DO

I don't know, most of those initial reactions make sense to me. I think it's as simple as others are saying: in a market full of humans, making sense is not a dependency of success. and many of us justify the things that succeed after the f

I honestly didn't enjoy Diablo II the FPS with lulz maymays very much. (I'm exaggerating, but doing so to illustrate my beefs with the Borderlands series.)

Obviously. I feel like his were apt comparisons; it's not obvious to me why intent has a bearing on the math. However, even if we suppose that intent should differentiate these acts somehow, the reactionary position doesn't seem to hold up.

Okay, so murders in general then. Still a bigger number. By giving events like these a disproportionate audience, we provide them their precise motivation for having occurred. By going to disproportionate efforts to prevent them (or capture

I don't own or currently have plans to purchase an assault weapon. I do, however observe that a state in which only the established power may have such things is certainly not free (neither liberated nor without cost).

Here's to hoping more effort goes in this direction, and to improving the general cases of performance over special cases like ASM.js. But I hesitate to get very excited over a few micro-benchmarks, particularly without a release.

I think that's intentional. Imagine the impact of your "How to work with women" list with similar satirical pseudo-rationalization of bad behaviors. The existence of the list seems as much an example of what not to do as are its contents.
