You really want to trust the government with keys to the kingdom? Like what they wanted here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple%E2%80%93FBI_encryption_d... And no, I wouldn’t trust an EU government or coalition any m

That “compact JSON” format reminds me if the special protobufs JSON format that Google uses in their APIs that has very little public documentation. Does anyone happen to know why Google uses that, and to OP, were you inspired by that forma

Where can I learn more about hardware acceleration of WebP on mobile OSes? I haven’t yet come across a resource that confirms this is actually the case. I know it should theoretically be possible using the VP8 hardware decoders but I though

It's somewhat popular for piracy, when you know that your site could never pass the Apple/Google store reviews. I've seen it with, for example, manga aggregators

I disagree regarding the choice of codec. Currently, I have no issues receiving, saving, and viewing H265 streams. Any modern CPU/GPU can handle them natively (I use a 2018 Intel CPU w/ QSV), any modern desktop or mobile device (I

What is wrong with frequent changing of jobs? It’s one of the easiest tools for increasing my compensation. The job market ideally should be so flexible you can switch to another company any time you want, no noncompetes.

It’s actually still a bit tedious on the Apple ecosystem. On the web (Safari) you have to wrap it in a WEBM or CAF container, and on iOS it’s similar. That’s a lossless process, but it’s still not the OPUS container

It’s funny, I have a somewhat opposite setup - Surface Pro 7+ (Windows) as a thin client, M4 Mac Mini as the beefy machine, using mainly VS Code Remote over SSH. It works great for development, builds etc, and for gaming I can still use the

Wheb I implemented an in-house analytics system, I had to revert to using a normal fetch request, as by default any usage of the beacon API was blocked. I don't think it really makes a difference for big providers with well-known black
