That sentiment can be made about a lot of things including cars themselves: "The utility for cars are obvious, using them kills people every day. We just couldn't handle unfettered use of cars. I am all for some kind of controlled

If you are referring to AV1, it's still a year or two away (probably) from being supported in hardware and it's too complex for CPU encoding in real-time. H.265 is supported in Apple hardware, but not part of the WebRTC spec or su

Unless the hardware supports it Apple will probably shy away. In this case, the WebRTC standard calls for VP8 (even though h.264 is becoming more common).

Are you saying the Bicameral Mind could be a result of a viral infection? And that virus could have disappeared in the last two thousand years? Or are you saying the phenotype could have disappeared?

I agree. Peltier fits a narrow niche. If you want a small temperature drop and can dissipate the heat on the hot side and are okay with the inefficiency it's for you. I tried to create a Peltier cooling system for a wearable device. It

Software architecture is composing absolutely. But, the tactics of coding are applying skills like being able to execute a solo or musical technique. The difference is that playing music well requires the player to 'forget' the te

Yes words can convey threats and still not be non-violent. For example, if I say. "You are lazy" that's not violent, but it is a threat that I might not want to work with you in the future. Does this feel like a physical thre

Nonviolent Communication? Words are not violent. There are better ways and worse ways to say things. You can be more empathetic and use words that result in less "triggering", but calling words violence is dangerous. It erodes t

Windows ARM (Windows RT) has been a mess, but Microsoft is committing more resources to make proper Windows + ARM it a real thing. Will it work? I don't know, but they are trying, probably because of Apple & AWS moves toward ARM.

Chunked video over Websockets (or chunked transfer) and scaled out WebRTC are just hacks. Browsers need to support proper low latency video streaming. There's a reason Skype and Zoom use desktop clients. If you are wondering, WSAM is n

WASM will be the default for any non-trivial web apps in the next few years (assuming the DOM access gets addressed). Why would you ship JavaScript of the internet to then get compiled locally? I know there's arguments for JIT, but I d

This post reads like a polemic and not something to be digested as science (note calling it a 'pseudoscientific swindle' and the ad hominem attack on Murray at the start). There seems to be a bi-modal reaction to the IQ measuremen
