    You don’t need anything so complicated.

    Take two copies of the same video, diff them and only keep the parts that match.

    We can also build up a database of as signatures to automatically identify them without requiring a watermark - we already have the technology to do this for detecting intro sequences for skipping.



  • Wil Wheaton is a stand up bloke.

    Many years ago I emailed him a horrible email calling him all kinds of names and he replied, in a nice but also boing flip kind of way that really put me in my place. I was a dumb kid at the time, he either figured that out or was just pure class.

    I apologised to him on Reddit a few years ago and he replied saying it was all cool. Wish more people in the world were like that.








  • Honestly 95% of Jira complaints are because people have crap workflows configured. Out of the box Jira is pretty terrible but it’s very customisable and you need to adjust it to suit your needs - and they have to be your needs and workflows.

    That being said, there’s that last 5% that Jira just gets in the way. If anyone has ever had multiple teams working on a single product, Jira is very prescribed about how you’re supposed to structure that and If you don’t, it’s a pain.

    I thought this was dumb as fuck, but I think I understand what Microsoft is trying to do here.

    What might not be obvious is that this “Windows” app is for iOS, Android and Linux - yes, it’s a replacement for remote desktop but it’s specifically a remote desktop app to connect to Windows machines.

    So while I still this this rebranding is entirely unnecessary, I can see that they are trying to clearly distinguish “I’m not on windows and I need to do something on windows so I’ll use the windows app for that” .

    It also means less confusion when “remote desktop” doesn’t let you connect to your Mac or whatever.

    I think you’re missing the point here. You’re claiming Google only pays Mozilla to have a competitor, yet they also pay apple even more money for the same thing in an area they’re just competing.

    The point is that there is competition in the default browser search space, it’s just that Google pays more than anyone else.

    If Google stopped paying Mozilla tomorrow, someone else would pay them for the same default search engine spot. It might not be as much, but it would still be a significant amount.

    A few years ago it was Yahoo that footed the bill.

    As much as I’m happy to criticise Mozilla and its leadership, this graph is misleading.

    Firefox is not the only thing Mozilla does, not should the market share of the browser be the sole metric the leadership is measured by.

    Overlay the revenue and profit (or whatever revenue minus expenses is called for a nonprofit), then decide if the CEO is overpaid.
