I lived in Ontario for 20 years then I lived in Seattle for the next 17, I assure you that the healthcare I receive and received is pretty much the same - except in Ontario it's way cheaper. You're talking about cutting edge techn

It's not though. It's fast enough for many applications but if you need to write a hypervisor then suddenly bounds checks and atomic pointers become significant. Not to mention that rust dramatically reduces your ability to contro

This is a very different take than I have. People who are good tend to leave sinking ships much faster.

Calculated risk? Nah those guys are gloriously insane. They do minimize risks, but they also go into the air wright-bro-style except instead of a glider that will go 200m they're strapped to two experimental jets in an airframe that wa

Most of them involve very weird and unlikely scenarios and bad security practices or access to the ffmpeg binaries and being allowed to run arbitrary commands at an elevated permission. In and of itself there's not a massive issue fr

Yeah, then you need to stream content in real time between multiple processes. And not screw up the licensing. And get hardware acceleration working...

Speed and security are not good bedfellows. Combine that with really shitty standards and dozens of years of development... Oh, and licensing. Licensing is the real killer. I could just write my own mp3 decoder easily (the format not the fi

So I've got a foot in each camp, I think you're just using different languages - you guys mean different things with the same words. You can't claim he doesn't know what he's talking about with a single point he may
