I think people would pay good money to learn from great programmers over something like Webex where you could follow along and also ask questions.
Side question: I'd like to stream some audio content to a few 1000 people (24/7) and wondered if anyone knew (back of the envelope) what the cost model for this would look like? Assuming it's just bandwidth unless I go p2p... Just trying to understand the current lay of the land as I remember the youtube guys were paying $$$/mo for bandwidth when they first started. Thanks.
If you don't stream video, you can use something designed for audio streaming like Icecast[0]. Then your bandwidth per month is approximately users×bitrate×60×60×24×30/8/1000000000. For 1000 people at 128kbit/s, that would be 41.472GB/mo, which you could pay for with $5. [0] http://www.icecast.org/

I wonder if Opus is being used in production anywhere yet. For some content you could get away with 48kbit or less, which would cut the costs dramatically.

Recently, I was amazed at how fast one of our devs were. When trying to see what made him so fast, it was a combination of being very good at reading code and understanding the underlying structure of the code, and also he was very fast with his editor. I could barely follow what he was doing as he was tracing his way through the code. Watching him work as we were discussing an architecture made me more inspired to t…
I'm less sure about your choice of data source, though. /r/WatchPeopleCode is fine if you're already active on Reddit, but given the fact that people need to actively register there means you're missing out on a lot of programming streams.
In my opinion it would be a better idea to automatically pull a list of programming streams from Twitch, Youtube, and Hitbox just using the appropriate key words.

> There seem to be legal problems with them in Germany or is it some European law and other countries are also blocked? It is a stupid law in Germany. :( https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/qLbjw... "Because of the German law (RStV), you must have a broadcast licence from the media authorities when you make a live stream that can reach more than 500 people at the same time. Not getting one would re…
The question in that thread is a good one, and unfortunately not actually answered. What defines 'live stream'? Obviously basic sharing of non-commercial recordings cannot require a license.

You might enjoy watching a few episodes of Emacs Rocks! The guy who does them is pretty cool to watch as far as knowing your tools well. Even if you're a vim user, you'll probably appreciate how well he uses emacs. http://emacsrocks.com/

Emacs Rocks is great, almost got me converted ;) For a vim guys I can recommend watching 'Destroy All Software' by Gary. He's a master of his tools and pleasure to watch.

It's used by Mumble[0]. It definitely sounds great at lower bitrates. [0] http://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/Main_Page and http://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/FAQ#What_makes_Mumble_better.3F
"Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus, WebM and MP3 audio streams."
Thanks everyone. Absolutely what I love about HN.
