That is not what open GOP means. Open GOP means pictures can reference IDR frames other than the most recent one in decode order, and is a pain in the ass for various reasons, but is technically more efficient. You're referring to a dy

My understanding is that the train software got built, more-or-less, according to the spec given, in a synthetic environment. The problem is that in real-world testing, conditions around the changeover points produced behaviour that was not

Casinos and machine-based gambling are fairly heavily regulated in a lot of places, requiring a license with auditing, with rules on everything you can possibly think of. The mobile gaming industry has so far avoided this body of law by nev

In theory, you can't employ someone in Germany for longer than 18 months via an employer of record. If you want to employ someone for longer than that, you must have a German legal presence. This is one of the ways that Germany ensures

MUCs are sadly the absolute worst part of XMPP we see on a day-to-day basis. I don't think mobile notifications in them are actually solveable - while you're not connected, the MUC has absolutely no idea you exist, so why would it

FWIW, this eventually got solved in XEP-0357, which, while it says it's deferred, is actually implemented by common mobile clients and modules exist for both common server implementations. This is the same design that Matrix eventually
