What a great ending to that video [1].

Attendee: "The last 20 years of my life, you've been such an inspiration to me. I've had some times of darkness, and... it's been amazing. Today's my birthday. I would love to like, go up there, and if someone could take a picture of me with you, that's all I ask, thank you."

[Audience applause...]

John: "Come on up."

I hope that, one day, I can have an impact like that on someone's life.

If you're switching spaces a lot on OS X, check out TotalSpaces2: http://totalspaces.binaryage.com/ It allows you to configure space switching so it's instant with no animation. I find the sliding animation distracting and superfluous.

It's infuriating that OS X doesn't have an option to turn off animations by default.

I'm sure Total Spaces is nice, but I refuse to pay money for what should be a basic OS feature.

> For video, please install Flash or try Safari. Thanks, but no thanks.

+1, is live streaming really that difficult to do with HTML5?

yes, oh heck yes. I gave up after trying Adobe Media Server and just stream to youtube with the tricaster and let them do the work.

If your looking for a "take my money" project, an easy streaming solution would be an amazing thing.

Here's some early code that John posted to the Racket group in June: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/racket-users/RFlh0o6l3...

Wow, some of those responses are just painful. I guess even a programmer's programmer cannot please everyone.

Thank you. Am i the only one still on a desktop? I can't stand shit video players with no progress bar and no volume control.

The lack of volume control seems to be getting more and more common. I guess developer forget people still have speakers attacked that require manual intervention (thanks Apple for disable speaker volume control for non-Apple displays).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Twitch and Youtube do it well so...

Twitch is still Flash, though the interface has been converted to HTML+JS. http://blog.twitch.tv/2015/07/video-player-controls-now-in-h...

Yeah, it's still flash video today, but Twitch announced today they plan to implement HTML5 streaming in Q1 2016

I've given up and just gotten used to it. I loathe Apple's desktop management system, but here we are :(

I stopped using TotalSpaces a while back to some bugs (cannot remember which, but did contact them).
