Have you tried plex/jelly-amp? Plexamp attempts recommendations and does a good job streaming / keeping media between devices (although for some reason you can't copy the entire library, only playlists/albums/artists?)

Either could be the case - if it was generating numbers from 1-9 instead of 1-10 30/60, if it was comparing <= 5 vs <5 it could be 40/60

If modern music is mastered digitally (and assuming I want to listen to modern music), what advantages do analog technologies bring?

out of interest, in the hypothetical situation where drones are allowed near an airport, and a kid tries to film a plane landing and accidentally takes out a plane engine, doing 10s of millions of damage, who do you think should be responsible? Would insurance be required for things like this?

To be fair, this is improving - chromium browsers let you specify a particular search engine with a keyword, even without changing your default. It almost certainly isn't mainstream enough and not enough is known about the competitors, but some of the groundwork has been laid

I can try and help, although I'm assuming you are talking about drawing tablets without screens:

> Which Wacom tablet should I get? It doesn't have to be wacom, there are lots of options - Huion and XP-Pen come to mind as two low cost ($20+) examples, to get your feet wet in the wordle of tablets, although there are lots of other companies as well

> Would an iPad be a better choice for note taking? Depends on how you like your notes - an iPad is about as portable as a graphics tablet, so it's mostly personal preference and cost here

> How do Wacom and iPad compare hardware wise?

In terms of horizontal/vertical resolution: you probably don't need to worry about it, it'll be fine as long as your tablet is well matched in size to your screen (I quite like 8" diagonal or similar for a 24" screen, scaling up and down from there? personal preference though)

Both will do the basics of pressure sensitivity (any number of levels of sensitivity above 1024 is probably indistinguishable unless you are serious about it, ignore the marketing) and tablets will support tilt from a fairly low price. The main difference is that graphics tablets support 'hovering' the pen above the tablet to show the cursor on the screen, although this is not necessary on an iPad where the image is directly underneath.

I think this meant for social purposes, more than academic ones

Personally, I'd recommend making more of the homepage the actual site, in the style of Reddit or HN's homepage - hopefully, the content that will be surfaced will explain it better than marketing does (and make it seem less closed off!)

In this context, I'd imagine cheaper from an R&D + Manufacturing side. But equally this probably is the case - if adding a screen requires adding a much more powerful microcontroller to drive it, it probably adds a fair bit of cost

Maybe that's the distinction - if you are making a product that needs to do exactly one thing (or category of things), it should not have a touchscreen, it should have a button and a dial (eg toaster, oven, hob, clock). If you cannot map all common uses of the product to a single button press and instead rely on context, a touchscreen might be the better option

Not sure it'll end up as a cloud offering and instead just a lightweight desktop app, but have you looked into Jetbrains Fleet (w/ Spaces)? Not released yet, but it has potential

I wonder whether introducing slight per-pixel-per-draw noise into the values could be used here, to mask this sort of detail? Or would you be able to average it out somehow

this is not the point of the article, but you may want to specify blocksize in those commands? ymmv tho

Re leveraging UTF-8 for encoding text to be visually small: if you have your conflict-free hash as a binary number, you could do this fairly easily by making an 'empty' UTF8 char of the right length and replacing all the data bits with your hash, and it would be converted to a potentially invalid, but still transmissible, character for you (if you have to make the characters valid, you may need a lookup table to jump over these)

> My proposed scheme enable to have N * 255 * 255 1 byte characters. With a constant cost per string of 1 byte. This seems revolutionary.

The main issue in this context would be limitations in encoding enough languages - there are too many characters (144k in unicode) to encode in 256 code pages (16k max). Additionally, frequently switching code pages (for example swapping back to ascii to use Latin chars / numbers) would incur a large cost on the size of the string

Also note that some of the 'earlier' unicode symbols that don't fit into ascii are in 2 bytes as well, it's not just 1/3/4!

if they pulled an IEX and just ran the Busan clients through a few km of fibre to induce delay they could use native pings and verify easily

Apparently they have 2.6% market share for trading in the US?

The fine was ~$5M, nvidia made ~$10B last year - It's approximately equivalent to the amount of money they make in 4 hours

What desktop environment (/distro) is the sample screenshot from?

Interestingly, it does look to be doing some clever things which makes me think it's intentional - resizing seems to make the formatting reflow (for example, an extra `>` mark appears for block quotes if it flows onto another line, links have been converted to HTML, and horizontal lines scale to the size of the browser window)

> No you don't. What site operators try to push as legitimate interest isn't by any definition legitimate interest.

In that case, starting to go after big corps that abuse legitimate interest with GDPR fines should sort the problem out pretty quickly

I wonder if it'd be worthwhile, given it'd be difficult to control the light input - would it be possible to get accurate colour reproduction without intensely controlled light sources?

not sure, but could the privacy policy just be a requirement of Google and no data collection is taking place?

> (or cable!)

Recently, I tried to find a Displayport-compatible cable and went through three (admittedly on the cheap side) cables that claimed to support it but didn't - in the end, I just bought a certified Thunderbolt 3 cable to avoid any ambiguity in whether they included all the wires or not

As far as I know - 3.1 Gen 2 is what 3.1 would have been called if they named it properly, 3.1 Gen 1 is equivalent to 3.0. (the 3.0 line is 3.2g1/3.1g1/3.0, the 3.1 line is 3.2g2/3.1g2, and 3.2 is 3.2g2x2?)

At this point I'm certain the confusion is intentional

> Do photo contests typically allow entrants to heavily edit photos?

To my knowledge - yes

Google as well recently - unlimited free G Suite (now Workspace) for schools was a massive draw a few years ago, although they are starting to turn around and monetise now they have a captive audience

uBlock Origin has a filter list (annoyances?) that gets most of the cookie warnings as well

Just had a quick look at a few of the python examples:

- it might be neat, but advocating for `eval(input())` [0] might not be the safest solution for this problem, especially without explaining the dangers of `eval` (assuming this site is partially aimed at beginners?)

- for an article titled 'how to terminate a script', the suggested method (`quit()`) [1] is specifically described in the official python docs [2] as code that "should not be used in programs".

I haven't had this issue on Windows, the time to wake seems to be identical for usb c vs other connection methods?

Looks like their patches repo is public - I wonder if that'll lead the the adblocking technique being patched out quickly by Google? Either way happy to see this app revived, even as a premium subscriber - it provides functionality that makes YouTube much nicer to use
