I've been looking at some FBX files and came across a FBX to glTF converter that's maintained by Facebook: https://github.com/facebookincubator/FBX2glTF

At the time, I didn't understand why Facebook maintained this project but now it makes a lot more sense.

While AWS has ARM servers available, GCP currently does not and it doesn’t seem to be on their immediate roadmap.

Do all individual contributions have employer data? I was always under the impression employer data isn't collected unless the donation is over a certain amount.

I've determined based on trial and error that the High-Performance graphics usage only happens after the animation during the Okta Verify window in their embedded browser. Unfortunately, there's no way for me to disable that and still authenticate into the VPN.

Did they specify dimensions during the event? It's smaller than the 2nd generation SE, but wondering how it compares to the 1st generation one.

TIL that pressing "down" makes the dinosaur duck.

DAFs at established administrators, like Fidelity/Vanguard/Schwab, rely on brand name so that users trust the money they donate to the DAF will be granted to the non-profits they make recommendations to.

Other than being currently connected with YC, what else can users rely on that their donation to Charityvest will in fact be granted to the non-profit the make the recommendation to?

From the FAQ

> While technically not "interest," you receive a savings bonus every month that functions very similarly to "interest." Savings bonuses are paid on the first of every month and are based on your average balance in Yotta from the previous month.

How do taxes work with these "savings bonuses". Do you issue a 1099-INT for this money earned or does this show up on a W-2G?

That's the case in "Free Form" mode.

If you click the eight note with a plus next you get pre-configured scores that you can just manipulate the rhythm on.

Every time you visit a website on the Android version of the browser, instead of requesting the favicon from https://example.com/favicon.ico, the app is calling out to https://icons.duckduckgo.com/ip3/example.com/favicon.ico.

Since DDG owns the icons.duckduckgo.com service and the domain you were interested in is in the request to icons.duckduckgo.com, you've sent the domain to DDG's servers.

Have you hit any limitations on what type of media can be played back (resolution, encoding, bitrate, etc)?

We are working on a internal project at work using WebRTC for some non traditional use cases and came across some limitations with large resolution, high bitrate H264 video.

> Unilever, the maker of Dove soap and Hellmann's mayonnaise, will stop advertising on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter in the U.S. through the end of the year. The company cited a need to end divisiveness and hate speech during a polarized election season.

Why was Twitter included in this?

Are you suggesting that capital gains taxes on stock sales are also wrong because the stock was purchased with post-tax dollars?

I remember reading Doug Terry's "Replicated Data Consistency Explained Through Baseball" in my distributed systems undergrad course which helped me understand some of the models a little better.

You can use gst_parse_launch to create a pipeline using the launch syntax.

I've found this helpful to prototype with gst-launch-1.0 and then pull into a separate program down the road. I found it to be pretty hairy trying to create and link all the individual elements manually in complex pipelines.

There's a "Lock" button right above the zoom in/out buttons that does this.

Looks like that address in the video has about ~2.5 BTC received: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1ELonMUSK14JSGNYAcPJN...

UIUC usually has a "tesla coil concert" at Engineering Open House, which is basically a big multiday science fair thrown by the students in the College of Engineering. Here's last year's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv1dY6C4WW8&t=1463

If the user decides to run a service on their intranet or localhost with a wide open CORS policy, isn't that their choice?

Forgoing CORS and making all inter domain requests user opt-in would make the web experience a lot worse, IMO. Making all intranet or localhost requests user opt-in seems less disruptive.

That's what CORS is for, but it appears that there is no CORS for WebSockets.

When I interned on the Office team in 2014, we used something called Source Depot. I’m assuming it’s changed since then.

It might not have been a picture, but there was an ASCI art of his face that got checked in.

We've found one advantage to be more reproducible builds since you don't have to worry about different versions of build tooling affecting the artifact.

At work, we build a couple SPA React application for internal tools. All of these SPAs talk to other internal APIs via REST, so you can think of these as static websites.

In production, we do exactly what you suggest: serve through a CDN.

However, for our dev environments and PR builds, programmatically setting up CDN to handle these use cases is not easily integrated with our CI/CD workflow. Our CI/CD environment is, however, good at quickly deploying containerized services.

For this, using an nginx container to serve the produced static bundle enables us to easily have PR builds for the dev team and product owners to see changes without having to check out and build the code.

Highcharts has a Boost module which uses WebGL.

Genuinely curious, did you think "ML" stood for anything else? My day to day work is not machine learning but if I ever see ML, "machine learning" is the first thing I think of.

Maybe it’s just me, but it doesn’t seem like the Bloomberg campaign was trying to pass that video off as real. They edited crickets chirping into the audio.

In the commissioner's report, some players that were interviewed said that they felt the banging was more distracting than useful.

I think they probably mean no income tax.
