Yeah, I worked in Soho for about 14 years and most Thursdays were out at the Pillars of Hercules or Dog & Duck. Fridays are for the out-of-towners. The company has moved to Bermond…

That's the maximum delay when adding a delay for synchronising with other sources. The end-to-end delay is about 10ms, according to this comment: https://www.audiosciencereview.com…

I've had great results using JPEG-XS to transport video for colour grading in feature film & TV post production. At 3:1 or 4:1 compression ratio is effectively lossless. It is pate…

Yeah, we've been deploying JPEG-XS for high bitrate streaming for a while. A lot of our customers are moving their grading systems into data centres and streaming the images over I…

macOS ships with drivers for Mellanox ConnectX cards, but I have no idea if they will show up in `ibv_devices` or `ibv_devinfo`.

I found some useful clues here. Looks like it uses the regular InfiniBand RDMA APIs. https://github.com/Anemll/mlx-rdma/commit/a901dbd3f9eeefc628...

Anyone found any APIs related to this? I'd have some other uses for RDMA between Macs.

Bravo!

Same, haven't had any problems with IPv6 via Hyperoptic. He might just be unlucky having some defective equipment upstream.

I'm on Hyperoptic and use IPv6 regularly. Pretty sure it was enabled by default. I haven't had the same problems this guy has, although I do believe his issues are real.

If you find yourself needing to install Windows 11 for some reason (I'm doing my best to avoid it), you can try this to create a stripped-down Windows 11 installer with most of the…

JPEG-XS is great for low latency, but it uses more bandwidth. We're using it for low-latency image streaming for film/TV post production: https://www.filmlight.ltd.uk/store/press_r…

I've been paying for YouTube premium for probably 2 years now. Never had any inserted ads. Only the "this video is sponsored by" stuff, which you can just skip over. I can't possib…

Yeah DAT was big in electronic music. Everyone in DnB documentaries talks about going to Music House with DATs to get dubplates cut to play in the clubs later on that evening. This…

Could be a candidate for Tiny Tapeout in the future. https://tinytapeout.com

And unfortunately they have had to lay off half their studio: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/half-of-myst-developer-cyan-wo... The news from a lot of games studios has been pretty b…

Would be nice if git could make use of this on macOS. Each worktree I usually work on is several gigs of (mostly) identical files. Unfortunately the source files are often deep in …

As a North London resident, the parking app situation is just as farcical for me. There are at least three different apps for parking around me: RingGo, PayByPhone and JustPark. I …

I was under the impression you can't ship FFMPEG in an app on iOS/tvOS/iPadOS anyway given FFMPEG is licensed as LGPL.

If you are experiencing digital noise in the output, like buzzing or clicking that correlates either activity on your computer, try installing a ground loop isolator in between you…

Yes, Apple Screen Sharing is built in. It's based on VNC. You can definitely run it from another Mac, although it's not a great experience with other VNC clients on Windows or Linu…

My colleague in Tokyo has 10Gb internet in his apartment. The future is already here – it's just not very evenly distributed
