You look at the statistics and basically you're largely already born wealthy or you are in poverty especially in California. If you look at social mobility in California it's almost as bad as medieval Europe. The system that enabl

This was my first exposure to Unix desktop I used CDE on irix in that late 90s with Softimage for 3d animation. CDE had no bells and whistles but it enabled you to devote all your processing power to the task at hand.

Instead of arming teachers how about using webrtc to bring the classroom into the home? Its less money to give every kid a chromebook than to buy guns, ammo and weapons training for every teacher.

Rasing tuition from $50 a year for baby boomers in the 70s to 25k a year any generation facing a life of indentured servitude when their parents got to be human beings is going to be nihilistic.

That article is not accurate, if you work for a salary you're in poverty. Before 2005 it was not that bad, we saw a major transformation with the downturn. Here in LA the cost of living has swallowed up all but the very highest paid sa

It's not about not being passionate it's about having a balanced life. You should be able to sue if an employer tries to force you to work for $0. I do have open source projects I have contributed to but I have also been fired for

Music is no longer a social movement. Back in the day being a fan of the Clash went far beyond music you were joining a social/political movement, something you believed in. Katy Perry might sing a catchy tune but its all about her per

For webrtc apps you really need a SPA, currently I use vue2. If you leave the page you lose the session. There are other html5 APIs that are also much happier within an SPA, like webmidi and webgl. But for text based crud apps rails is stil

Yeah these things are silly I have played both and they involve very different approaches to practice and performance its like writing an article that oranges have a different effect on the brain than peaches.

I'm not saying Java is bad we are a Java shop but if you look at resource usage Janus is incredibly tight and small. W do live broadcast with webrtc so jitsi wasn't really matched to our use case. Jitsi is a fantastic project but

by shams93 9y ago
We are a Java shop so jitsi was initially our first choice. However we also need to record and broadcast sessions and jibri was not robust enough. Setting up Janus was painful because we don't usually support non Java applications but

by shams93 9y ago
Yeah we tried jibri but the problem we had is it just doesn't scale compared to the Janus archive plugin. What jitsi needs is a server side peer that can connect to gstreamer to record and broadcast sessions

Slack uses the Janus Gateway under the hood for their audio/video chat.

I'm using the archive video room and broadcast plugins, if not for the need for archives and broadcast we would have gone with jitsi because we are a Java house normally but because we need to have scalable archive recording Janus was

by shams93 9y ago
I looked at this for my project but we need to be able to do server side recording so we went with Janus gateway instead. It's a lean and mean c program that now supports plugins in rust. The one downside of jitsi is that it's a l

Yeah although ipfs looks cool until we have a p2p based web you really need a cdn service for static sites that take a lot of hits. I wonder if Amazon is worried about ipfs because if that gets big there won't be a need for the S3 serv

The thing is there is no narrative or story telling element to image style transfer. Think of Beethovan's 9th symphony. It develops a narrative its not entirely abstract, the theme of the Song of Brotherhood gets subtly developed throu

Yeah with jquery we were composing templates server side. Compared to Vue trying to do a SPA in jQuery is a season in hell. It can be done but it's brutal and fragile.
