Do you like the idea of all our payments for everything going through a private duopoly who takes a cut of every transaction?

We don’t have a digital option that’s open or private.

I’m not afraid of scissors, but I’m very afraid of my victorinox knife.

Am I just failing to use that site properly, or is it missing a ton of stuff in ‘replays’ that was available live?

I feel like the CBC had a better version of this thing 12 years ago.

Why would there be one answer to this? I’d probably use all the available levels depending on the situation, in the same way I’d use --word-diff or -b in git when I need help understanding a complex change.

Have you checked all the ethernet links are actually connected at 1G and not 100M?

There’s a Competition Bureau? In Canada?

Also I can’t seem to find a link to the actual survey, but:

The survey also shows 61 per cent agree so many international students are being admitted into Canada due to mismanaged finances by post-secondary institutions in the country.

This sounds like a bullshit survey question. This article is all survey and zero data.

Hi, This is a high priority ticket and the FFmpeg version is currently used in a highly visible product in Microsoft. We have customers experience issues with Caption during Teams Live Event. Please help,

Use -data_field first as decoder option in CLI. Default value was changed from first to auto in latest FFmpeg version. Or modify AVOption of same name in API for this decoder.

Thanks @Elon for the reply, This is the command we are currently using: ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i movie=flvdecoder_input223.flv[out+subcc] -y -map 0:1 ./output_p.srt

I will be looking to see any updates in the FFmpeg documentation. Can you please elaborate and provide pointers the right decoding options or the right FF command er can use. Thank you!

ffmpeg.exe -data_field first -f lavfi -i movie=flvdecoder_input223.flv[out+subcc] -y -map 0:1 ./output_p.srt

Got that’s fucking brutal. This isn’t even asking them to fix a bug, it’s just basic help-desk shit.

I’m sure Microsoft has some good devs that are a net benefit to the open source projects they use, but this is not one of them.

I feel like node’s async model makes it really easy to cause a bug like this, and really difficult to track it down.

It was left to the OS to catch the leak, because the program was written in such a way that it was able to run a gazillion of these tasks concurrently.

The most recent “security advisory” was released despite the fact that the particular bug in the experimental HTTP/3 code is expected to be fixed as a normal bug as per the existing security policy, and all the developers, including me, agree on this.

And, while the particular action isn’t exactly very bad, the approach in general is quite problematic.

I read something about this the other day, but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it.

This seems to have the best discussion I’ve found:

Why put in extra hours? That’s not high-performance, it’s just doing more than one job, assuming you’re paid for a target number of hours.

I use Emacs+org-mode on pc and orgzly on mobile. Syncthing to sync them.

Huh, I’ve seen .local used for this quite a bit and only just now realised that it’s meant for something else.

I’ve also seen .corp 🤮

I use orgzly for android, with syncthing to synchronise the files.

It’s very flexible, but I’m not sure it’s quite what you’re looking for.

Nix does something like this with the protocol specifier: e.g. git+https://...

I’m not sure what name means here exactly, but it might make sense to treat that separately, like git remotes:

tool add [name] git+https://foo

The whole thing is built around pulling binary packages from servers, and there’s no consistent way of building those things from source.

It’s extremely difficult to package anything non-trivial without referencing those binary blobs.

They had to build this whole custom thing (https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet) just to make the SDK itself buildable from source, and most releases still have some binary dependencies. They only did it for the SDK so it could be packaged in Debian, etc.

This is my favourite list in here, but I’d throw a Lisp in too.

Lisp, Haskell, and Rust should all teach you something new and profound about programming.

All the core parts of dotnet (e.g. roslyn) seem to be built that way. I find them very frustrating to work on. Between that and the whole nuget thing being somewhat FOSS unfriendly, I’d steer people away from C#.

They are now going to be an advertising driven company, regardless of what tier you’re on.

Instagram has a 10 euro/mo premium to remove ads, and they still would rather you take the ads. How long before Netflix starts nagging you to save money by turning ads on?

Even if you can get past whatever VM detection they currently do, that’ll only work until they require remote attestation.
