You can watch 4K Netflix in Edge, which I would call browser. But the point still stands, only works with supported hardware and proprietary software.

I did not know that! I thought it was only in the app. I stand corrected.


More like 3% when you combine linux and mac. That can make it hard to justify the cost.

Still bs for an existing game with platform support from unreal though.

However, the number of available titles on Linux/Mac is small, so you become a big fish in small pond and take all the users money. Piracy on OSX is smaller, and they are typically wealthier and starving for content.


No, not really. There's a wealth of titles available on Linux thanks to Humble Bundle and Valve funding ports. Never has made any money.


They have PS4s.


Yeah. My Mac's for sitting at the desk or taking to the cafe and getting shit done. The PS4's for sitting on the sofa playing games.


Well, I don't know the details. But AFAIK canvas drawing is GPU accelerated.

So I would guess you are effectively fingerprinting the combination of browser and GPU. And that does not sound like its easy to fix on the browser side.


I would really appreciate full disclosure upfront. Hiding advertisement for neptune-ml behind a misleading title seems rather dishonest.

Other than that this hits some valid points that also apply to other parts of computer science. Just versioning code has often not been enough in my experience and proper experiment management sounds like a great solution!


I do like using JWT. But its point is to offer flexibility. If you fix the entire header i.e. use a single signature method, you might just as well concat that signature directly.

In other words if you stop utilizing JWT, you won’t have JWT specific problems.


Well yeah. But you, presumably, only have to do that once. After that you get 5ms per account, which seems to be the important takeaway.


But even then, 5ms seems extraordinarily fast on a home machine.

A couple of years ago I tried to bruteforce my WPA wifi handshakes and also played a bit with Hydra and I don't think I got even close to such speed.


Do you have any sources for the coal burning rate?


Germany's rate of coal burning went up after Fukushima and the accelerated nuclear retirements, but it is now back below the rate of 2010. See chart "Gross power production in Germany 1990-2017, by source":

https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c...

There will probably be another (hopefully temporary) increase in coal consumption following the shuttering of the remaining German reactors in 2022.

It's fair to say that Germany has surrendered several years of progress on CO2 cuts with its move away from nuclear power. It's not accurate to say that Germany is burning more coal now than before Fukushima, or is currently increasing its rate of coal burning.


The energy needs didn't magically reduced with nuclear reactors getting phased out. Whatever is not compensated by increase in domestic burning must be bought abroad, which means all Germany did is essentially export their emissions elsewhere.


Germany has continued to increase renewable generation. If you look at the "German power export balance" chart in the same source, net German exports in 2017 were the highest they've ever been despite less coal consumption. The growth has been mostly from renewables, and secondarily from gas. German renewable generation in 2017 was 100 TWh above 2010.


There is also a lot of pressure in Germany to end brown coal based production in the same way that nuclear was shut down. Brown coal is Germany's dirty little secret: it's the most polluting form of energy production. It also involves strip mining huge parts of landscape, which is not popular with the locals.

Either way, a result has been that the electricity prices are currently quite high here. Many people are reacting by deploying solar on their roofs. However, the pressure on electricity producers to deliver clean power is yielding results. It is likely that


Yes Zachtronics games are amazing! I would say that Shenzhen I/O might be a bit easier to learn though.


Not saying that this is a proper solution for everyone, but Bose does support listening to the same phone with two pairs of headphones. You would just have to pair them.

I agree that this would be useful to have at the OS level though!


I've been using WebStorm on Windows and Linux, it is also available for macOS. Can really recommend all the JetBrains IDEs!
