    Oh so is there actually 2D X11 acceleration? Or just 3D acceleration?

    The cost of the PHY and the Ethernet interface would increase the price

    Is the 2D X11 acceleration done via glamor using the closed source driver? (Congrats btw!)

    My team is actually in the process of de-Reacting our code base. These frameworks are full of hacks underneath the covers, and their abstractions are mostly ill-specified.

    Check the ToS of their APIs. I'm somewhat certain you aren't allowed to build alternative interfaces into their content.

    IANAL but I think this might be a violation of YouTube ToS

    You never should but people do, and that's when there's a problem.

    If you assume longs or pointers are 32 bits then it's a problem.

    We get it. Theranos is finally suffering through fate it deserved in the first place. Justice is happening. Serious question, is this news or tabloid at this point?

    Did you get it replaced? Seems like it should have still been under warranty after only a few months.

    You don't have to use your phone. In theory you may also use a Yubikey

    Can't wait to use my OpenPGP card to authenticate with websites.

    Thanks for the correction. I think my core point still holds without the intrinsics but I was mistaken on that point.

    Intrinsics must be used, how else is the hardware invoked?

    5 minute delays are common on twitch, especially to circumvent stream snipers. Totally live video is a liability actually and I would guess most live broadcasts have a delay. In an…

    Unlikely, I would imagine that the vast majority of intrinsics used for VP9 decoding can be used for AV1 decoding as well.

    Depends on how parallelizable the encoding algorithm is.

    To what extent are the set of intrinsics used for VP9/h265 decoding unreusable for AV1 decoding? My guess is that there is large amount of reusable intrinsics.

    I wonder when someone is going to take on the task of figuring out how to encrypt SNI

    Does this actually improve the performance of most queries? Most queries are light on computation and heavy in IO. Seems kind of like a waste of effort but maybe there are people w…

    I love C++ I just wish there was some sort of way to make it memory safe. At the same time the Java stack is too heavyweight for the things I use C++ for. If there werr some sort o…

    Because most people allowed to own property, run a business, and offer products and services?
