It’s maybe doable, but figuring out where ads start and end in a video file isn’t necessarily trivial. The app must know what to look for, and YouTube might try to obfuscate it to make it harder.

That’s the point. They want to stop people bypassing ads by using alternative front ends. If they succeed with server side ads, then it’s going to be difficult to block ads. Maybe not impossible, but difficult.

If you think you’re the center of the world then all your opinions will feel centrist

Linux has developers. It just needs more desktop users.

He’s also promising a fully self drivable car by the end of 2017

I don’t think percent works like that.

A collection of words

I know, I read it because I wanted to know too know if it was addressed

That was my first reaction just by reading the title.

Mostly because I learned the hard way what inodes are.

I feel personally attacked

I mostly use VS Code for notes and configuration files. Sometimes Python scripts. I agree with you, it requires a lot of setup. It has replaced Vim for me either way.

Most of my programming is done in IntelliJ, which works mostly out of the box. I’ve also used Visual Studio (not to be confused with VS Code).

I can’t imagine working without a proper IDE for any serious programming anymore. Working without IDE is like self imposed handicap.

That’s good for the democrats. They don’t need to change direction of their campaign while the republicans must change their entire campaign now.

It’s not good that the political climate has become like this, but the only way to defeat Trump is to get down to his level. If he’s not offering any real politics then why should the dems?

He spent so much effort attacking Joe Biden. Mostly because his entire campaign is centered around attacking Joe Biden, and not any real policies. Now that’s all in vain.

He’s mostly thinking about himself.

Policies don’t sell in the current political climate. It has been all about Trump vs not Trump since 2016.

And maybe withdrawing so late might not be as bad after all. Sure, it’s going to be tough for dems to rework their campaign, but it’s going to be tough for reps as well when their campaign revolved around Biden.

Looks like it’s trying to attempt multitrack drifting

Even if a fix was discovered quickly it wouldn’t prevent the problem that it must be manually fixed on each computer. In this case a fix was discovered quickly even without access to source code.

Just having more eyes on the source code won’t do much. To discover errors like these the program must be properly tested on actual devices. This part obviously went wrong on Crowdstrike’s side. Making the code open source won’t necessarily fix this. People aren’t going to voluntarily try every cutting edge patch on their devices before it goes live.

I also doubt any of the forks would get much traction. IT departments aren’t going to jump to the next random fork, especially when the code has kernel access. If we can’t trust Crowdstrike, how can we trust new randos?

I doubt it. Few people are volunteering their time reading pull requests of random repos. It probably went fast from pull request to deployment, so there would be no time for anyone external to read.

The only thing open source would’ve done is to give us a faster explanation of why it happened after the fact.

I like when videos are as direct as this guy’s. Just straight to the point. No extra fluff, distracting skits or drama. It’s just him talking straight to the camera about things he’s passionate about.
