> Blocking – making it more difficult for someone who is blocked from the site to return

If they're talking about IP bans on viewing Wikipedia here, this is a terrible idea. If some troll gets banned on a college campus that will result in the inadvertent ban of thousands of other connected to the same network. This line strikes me as naive.

I moved to Kip's Bay in May and thanks for this comment - I'm going to attend a meeting too.

This is going to destroy HLS playback in a background tab. Playing back HLS with JS is already a very cpu intensive, time-dependent process and we've already struggled with the current background tab throttling - a delay like this will all but kill playback or make it stutter to the point you'll wish it's dead instead. I commend Chrome for driving web standards but they've been a huge bully recently.

> As a result, we are no longer marketing the 2nd generation board as water resistant and strongly recommend against riding in water or wet environments.

Riding in wet conditions is a huge no-no for normal skateboards - water waterlogs the deck, rusts the bearings, and ruins the griptape. Battery or no battery you should never ride a skateboard in the rain unless you intend to ruin it.

> no eating at work areas

As a person who hates the sound of people chewing loudly, when you eat at your desk, please be considerate of people like me. Chewing with your mouth open bothers more people than you think. Should fall under standard don't-bother-people decorum like showering and brushing your teeth but it doesn't.

Header bidding will begin to cut into Google when it becomes more widespread.

>I love how completely alien they are compared to us.

If you want to read a book which takes this idea to the extreme check out Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. It deals with a living ocean which has been completely incomprehensible to humans for hundreds of years - a neat thought exercise on the limits of knowledge.

I use f.lux on a rather high setting 24/7 at work, most of the day at home (where I have better lighting), and at night on my phone. Using it all day at work with the 20/20/20* rule has greatly reduced my eye stress.

* I made a simple website using the Notifications API which reminds you every 20 minutes to take an eye break.

> Why is Safari not tested on 32-bit machine?

>Safari defaults to 64-bit machines and doesn't need to worry about 32-bit anymore. Big pieces of their engine is 64-bit only. As a result showing Safari on 32-bit machines would give incorrect results.

Maybe this has something to do with it?

Will his celebrity status prevent him from getting a "real" sense of the places/people he visits?

And it's wrong too. Clearkey, Widevine, and Playready are all video DRMs in HTML5.

Also, EMEs exist in all major browsers. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Encrypted_M...

What's the battery life on those things? I've literally never seen one being charged.

Better title: Things I Don't Like About The Surface Pro 4. There's literally nothing positive in this article - if you think that MacOS/iPad is the gold standard for how OS's and tablets should be than you've lost all objectivity. I've been a long time Windows user who now uses a Macbook at work and I can make a list just as long and derisive.

ebikes are ubiquitous in NYC amongst delivery drivers. I haven't really seen any other users using one.

Yeah I suppose YMMV. I work mainly with JS on a video player which uses no frameworks. I still lean on MDN a lot and use SO for learning new things, but I've learned to rely on myself and my teammates to solve problems and where that isn't enough, to look through Git issues and documentation. I've developed my own standards of "goodness" which helps me come up with solutions. It also helps that SO does not have answers to 99% of my problems (how do I make HLS videos upswitch faster?).

> the majority of actual tasks are often googled and stack-overflowed

The more I've grown as a developer the less I've had to do this.

Bell Labs is in Murray Hill, Morristown is ~30mins away.

Here's the 2016 update of the "Walkscore": https://www.walkscore.com/cities-and-neighborhoods/

1. NYC

2. San Francisco

3. Boston

7. Washington DC

This list makes a lot more sense than the 2014 list.

Polyfills add a ton of size.

How does this compare to VP9/10 by a "human quality" metric? There's lots of cherry-picking about stats which makes an encoding sound impressive on paper but result in a worse perceptible quality. This is a really good article about testing encoders: https://blogs.gnome.org/rbultje/2016/05/02/the-worlds-best-v...

Additionally, adoption is really slow of VP9 already so I don't see anyone switching to Daala soon.

Your post implies they made the libraries you listed, but they certainly didn't make Mesos or most of those things.

The technique to fetch the ads here is called "header bidding": http://digiday.com/publishers/wtf-header-bidding/

My dad wouldn't want a Tesla, but he'd probably want a Bolt.

Catch-22!

Much harder than it sounds if you care about live streaming, video playlists, and cross-browser support. Don't forget to mention the 3 big subtitles formats (608/708/VTT) and some smaller ones (SRT/DFXP).

Also, here's a fun quirk of the subtitles track element: you cannot remove a track once added.

Another obstacle for full FCC compliance: styling. You must allow users to style your captions. Captions are put in the shadow DOM - Firefox does not allow you to style the shadow dom.

Don't forget to add IE into the mix!

Yeah I just dropped a comment about this on another thread. There's 8 links on the front page about AWS submitted by the same two people. 19 AWS posts submitted in the past 24 hours. It looks like a concerted shilling effort.
