Creating diseases sounds horrendous but I haven’t read the article yet

“Breaks all compatibility [with emby]” was my interpretation of that. Not a huge deal either way but I’d definitely have been calling it 11 with this DB rework myself

They’re saying they left the voicemail as “on leave” when they were not in reality

Basically, yes. Forces plugins not to use potentially database-engine-specific SQL so that server admins don’t have to select their DB based on plugins for jellyfin being compatible.

I kinda agree here. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/contributing/release-procedure/

Claims to follow semantic versioning, explicitly mentioning changes to plugin APIs as reasoning for a new major version.

The description calling it double gnarly hand gestures is tops

While I appreciate that time zones change including dst… Your porch light shouldn’t care about dst, it should probably just care about actual light levels

Fwiw v clocks don’t need to have WiFi to auto adjust for dst. Just being date-aware and having a method to configure dst is all it takes.

What, you don’t shower with 800C steam?

I wonder how much of this isn’t applicable to CoW filesystems, like zfs. The article makes some mention but doesn’t get too specific

God damn why’s the world so shit

That kind of attitude in development drives me absolutely insane. See also: support for DHCPv6 in Android. There’s a thread that has been raging for I think over a decade now

What the fuck is par-ood

In my experience it’s much more likely to CAUSE frame drops than mask anything in a good way. It sure masks visual detail though

Motion blur in film does that, but with video games, in every implementation I’ve seen, you don’t get a blur that works the same way. Movies will generally blur 50% of the motion between frames (a “180 degree shutter”), a smooth blur based on motion alone. Video games generally just blur multiple frames together (sometimes more than two!) leaving all of the distinct images there, just overlayed instead of actually motion blurred. So if something moved from one side of the screen all the way to the other within a single frame, you get double vision of that thing instead of it just being an almost invisible smear across the screen. To do it “right” you basically have to do motion interpolation first, then blur based on that, and if you’re doing motion interpolation you may as well just show the sharp interpolated mid frames.

On top of that, motion blur tends to be computationally very expensive and you end up getting illegible 30fps instead of smooth 60+.

Well that’s horrible

Even with your simplistic fossil fuel car in your example the alternator within can also be used as a motor.

Not by “simply reversing the flow” it can’t. You’d need to remove and replace many components, just like the example of changing an Rx to Tx system

Possibly one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen.

If you’re doing bridged networking on your laptop with VMs, they should get addresses the same way the laptop did. If not, you’ll be doing some pretty application specific networking anyway which is an entirely different argument. Basically nobody says “ipv6 must never be NATted even in test networks etc” - people don’t want NAT-by-default architecture and none of these scenarios change that.

An LED (or photodiode used as one) is a fairly simplistic device compared to an assembled receiver / transmitter. Just like you can burn gasoline in a car but you can’t push a car to turn the engine to make gasoline - it’s a complex system that really only works one way.

if you invert the flow of electrons, a receiver becomes a transmitter

Ehh not really. That’s kind of like saying if you invert the flow of photons, your eyes work as flashlights.

“It could be possible with some changes” the changes would amount to removing the receiver and replacing it with a transmitter. In this specific case I’m not sure if a transmitter already exists at this antenna and it’s definitely possible one does, but that’s not a guarantee at all
