This is pure politics. The AOM want proof of loyalty and shipping a competing image format threatens that loyalty pact. It’s also incrementalism at its finest. “We already shipped …

Find yourself a canadian VPN endpoint and check out the CBC coverage (website or "Gem" app). It's pretty complete and much more accessible.

5.25" floppy disks are more likely to suffer physical damage at this point in history than a 3.5" disk. This would also contribute to the supply-demand curve biasing to 3.5" (on to…

DNS is not content. HTTP caches were always problematic from a business perspective. Great for downloading large binaries (installs) but problematic when they don’t expire as expec…

This feels contrived. Rarely do I, as a brand or content creator, want it circulating without my control. It doesn’t make business sense.

CDNs are a known commodity with business relationships. You can’t have an unknown CDN in the mix. They are an extension of your infrastructure and you can control if they are or ar…

Yea, but the web server delivering them is now google. Google now gets the access logs and using the persistent tls socket can follow the users activity. Sure the content is signed…

Let’s call a spade a spade. The only real world problem that WebBundles (and Signed Exchanges) really solve is to allow AMP to impersonate your website. Google wants all the click …

Agree. Safari has already made moves for this[1], but Chrome seems to be resistant[2]. [1] https://calendar.perfplanet.com/2017/animated-gif-without-th... [2] https://bugs.chromium…

Totally agree. To be clear, I wasn’t trying to overhype the ‘cure’ but rather emphasize that the problem is way more complicated than many believe because of the islet regeneration…

For those who aren't initiated in the world of T1D there is some amazing research coming out of the Faustman lab (MGH). There is both a promising cure (BCG vaccine), but also resea…

I wonder what would be necessary to spin up a device lab for proper TDD for the Loop? This is such an amazing story of classical "hacking". This is what makes technology fun.

Teaching.

FWIW, using M3.Mediums at Spot with AWS Batch, the per vcpu rate works out to 0.0067/hr. Fargate is still ~600% more expensive.

A few clarifying points: * the author specifically said -1% Conversion. If this were AWS, that would mean a daily reduction of $6million in revenue! * the author specifically says …

still doesn't scale efficiently. http based streaming is the only reliable way to get economies of scale. The cpu cost per webrtc socket is high compared to a cache-hit for a stati…

Don’t use webrtc for live video. It doesn’t scale with CDNs. Use dash/hls.

the biggest impact is all the navel-gazing time we have spent trying to decipher what _is_ personal data and what are our obligations to our customer's and to their user. The actua…

mp4s aren't HEIF. but this feature is certainly pre-lude to Safari supporting HEIF in the browser.

cool. painful, but cool.

in the context of the audio track doesn't play anyway. dropping it ensures you save the bytes.

This usually happens when you have colour pallet increases. If you had a simple animated Gif with only 256 colours and convert it to any video you instantly have more data to compr…

Don't know if you need a spec change since this is technically now supported in Safari TP. (See the example) Really it's up to the browser to decide if it wants to use the media ty…
