Gelob··on Vevo could have been ‘an existential threat’ to YouTube, but YouTube won
I wonder if this means on the backend the post production houses will just send the masters to YouTube instead of over to Vevo, only for vevo to upload them to YouTube. Would be much cheaper if vevo didn't ingest every video.
Gelob··on Resistance to Being Productive
I'm the same exact way
Gelob··on OVH Incident in Strasbourg
Any decent sr. network engineer or architect should be able to design you a network and explain the pros and cons, risks, and future scalability.

If someone doesn't know why a failure occured and they can't find out then they aren't looking hard enough

Gelob··on The Evolution of Container Usage at Netflix
While the contracts may be negotiated months in advance the videos aren't delivered until very close to the release date, the same for Google and amazon. In some cases it may be a few days early but production schedules are tight and even if the post house has it done early contracts and controls forbid them from sending it to Netflix, etc too early.
Gelob··on Amazon, the world’s most remarkable firm, is just getting started
Walmart
Gelob··on Open-sourcing Chrome on iOS
Safari has so much better HLS video streaming support on iOS then chrome. Chrome has caught up a little bit but the documentation still sucks.
Gelob··on KeepassXC – A cross-platform community fork of KeepassX
I've been using Keepass Desktop which apparently isn't available for download anymore but it was much better than keepassx

Gelob··on Techdirt's First Amendment Fight for Its Life
Newegg's lawyer should help them
Gelob··on Atlassian acquires Trello for $425M
Thats about all Atlassian is good at. HipChat has become an abomination of a client across Windows and Mac. Every new release is about fixing functionality they broke with the previous release and even then it still isn't fixed.

Logging in from multiple places has always been terrible. I'll be logged in on Mac and available but randomly get emails as if I'm offline. I'll be online on my phone and get e-mails. I wan't emails of messages when I'm actually offline and not logged in but HipChat doesn't seem to care and emails me anyways sometimes. The option to turn off email notifications isn't very configurable either. Its off or on.

Look at the release notes for windows and mac and search for reconnection. Just about every release has a fix for reconnecting going back to 2014.

Gelob··on Major HipChat outage
They addressed it on twitter and said it only changes once an incident is resolved but they will look at possibly changing that.
Gelob··on After Apple's Disappointing MacBook Pro Refresh, What's an Engineer to Do?
Xshell is plenty usable on windows and free for home use
Gelob··on Akamai takes Brian Krebs’ site off its servers after ‘record’ cyberattack
I've seen the graphs from prolexic, the claims are legit
Gelob··on A whole new GitHub Universe: announcing new tools, forums, and features
What is the Enterprise release schedule, is that available somewhere to view?
Gelob··on Ask HN: Any nicer alternatives to Mint for personal budgeting?
YNAB and I just heard of an app called moneylover
Gelob··on The OPM Data Breach [pdf]
You should take it. The opm breach offers the best credit and identity theft monitoring you can get. You can actually input your emails and other information and they will notify you when it's found in online dumps, etc. They also tell you the source of the dump.
Gelob··on Skylake's Linux power management is dreadful you shouldn't buy until it's fixed
skylake works fine on OSX, even hackintosh.
Gelob··on Cisco buffer overflow vulnerability with remote code execution
That isn't true. There are versions of 9.2.x, 9.3.x etc that are vulnerable per the documentation. 9.1.7 is the only firmware released before this was announced (jan 18th) that contains a fix. Every other software version is vulnerable and requires an upgrade.
Gelob··on High Quality Video Encoding at Scale
That isn't Netflix's job. A post house delievers the raw .mov files to Netflix. The post house gets the files or tapes from the studio or whomever manages the libary for them (aka another post house). The post house has to comply to a set of standard's set forth by Netflix or it is automatically rejected. Most of the time things like no interlacing is in those requirements but also there can be exceptions if no other source material is available. iTunes works the same way. So say the post house that delievers to Netflix is only getting digital raw .movs and not the actual tapes, they may not be allowed to re-encode those or have access to the tapes to do the correct conversion.
