Raise your hand if you have worked hard building an honest product that does what it says, only to see another business rise up to claim the same thing but based on smoke and mirrors. Must be an age-old trick, maybe akin to the octopus pret

I've also seen Source-Nexus, that has plugins for Pro Tools as well as VST/AU, and you can make multiple named drivers. It would work pretty well with Loopback it seems. https://www.source-elements.com/products&#x2

Currently in the mobile space everyone is behind at least one double-NAT at least, and you can order business level access for your wireless data account and get an IPv4 address allocated to you. AT&T does this for a single $500 fee for

It's about the patents. "while OpenH264 is not truly open, at least it is the most open widely used video codec" http://andreasgal.com/2014/10/14/openh264-now-in-firefox/

Yes, thanks to the open source H.264 codec from Cisco. This is about open source options and I think Firefox's decisions are completely valid. https://gigaom.com/2014/10/14/h-264-support-arrives-in-firef.

Chrome supports its own streaming method, MPEG-DASH with H.264 which is what Youtube runs on where possible. Firefox stated it won't support H.264 on principle (although it does now, for WebRTC). Android supports HLS, as does iOS, out

Hipchat uses XMPP so you answered the parent's question perfectly. Slack, I believe, created a custom protocol.

Media players: browsers don't have native support for H.264 over HLS or RTMP, and MPEG-Dash seems native to Chrome only. If the browsers could accept these natively, this would certainly speed flash's demise. Until then, what are

Borges short stories - some of my favourites are very accessible: The Garden of Forking Paths and The Aleph. Some of his stories are difficult to read and make more sense as you know the author better. He wrote interesting works such as rev

Finnegan's Wake is packed-full of self-referential meta-data and has a highly coherent structure. In this sense, it's relevant to the discussion because it may appear to have been created by Markov chains whereas in fact it's

The patch works. I now have 2 patched systems and I've instructed my team to run the patch immediately on every mac.

From my experience, the defining parameter is now the timezone difference (or, working hours kept), rather than distance.

Volume controls are important! Some examples: you are on a VoIP call but want background music. You have to listen out for some notification and the front music can't be too loud. You work with other audio files e.g video editing but d

I've been using the Hario hand grinder and I find it extremely difficult to maintain a grip. Is the Portlex easier to hold? I'm female thus possible not as strong as others who may be using this.
