Ask more? The book is expensive. If he lowers the price, say to $10, the sales will probably increase 10x.

Yeah, but perhaps the 90% of each 5% is common to all users.

Exactly. It scales linearly, not quadratically. I forgot to mention that since clients do the "original" encoding, the server actually does less work (regarding resolution tiers).

Still, isn't it one stream per client? Why 10 streams each?
8.
by tydok 7y ago
Firstly, a client will have 10 outgoing video streams at most, not 100! Secondly, if we consider receivers bandwidth, a client can encode 2 or 3 video streams, e.g. low, medium, and high quality video.

Yes, it's indeed a property, not a problem. The problem is the accidental complexity which has the tendency to increase and requires constant effort/energy from us to keep it low.

We use double buffering to avoid flickering, but still we have to clear the back buffers.

I use extensively in my projects the Component decoupling pattern: http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/component.html The Observer and Mediator patterns can then be used for wiring components.

Very interesting. It contains a few subtitle providers I've never heard before. Thanks for posting it.

by tydok 9y ago
Perhaps the most difficult problem is to find a subtitle in multiple languages.
18.
by tydok 9y ago
The problem isn't only about matching subtitles to movies but also where to look for subtitles, e.g. opensubtitles.org, subscene.com, etc.

Good idea, I could do it.

It's not based on math, it's empirical. In practice seems to work. I applied it on the minefield in the article and I solved it. To put it another way, on two adjacent tiles where there's one mine, if you had the choice to re

The mines are uniformly distributed, yes, but the numbers are not. In a relatively sparse minefield, how likely is to find a 4? Of course depending on the "shape" of a cluster, chances can be 50%. The mines influence the distribut
22.
by tydok 10y ago
I use a simple but effective tactic. 50-50 chances on nearby/adjacent tiles aren't actually 50%. If one tile would reveal a 4 and the other a 2, pick the second, because 4s are more rare.

Your girl friend is absolutely correct. Graphics don't mean much. I added colors but I spent most of the time tuning the keyboard controls :)
