You will need some sort of signal transport for sending ICE negotiation data in JSON. Because the two peers need to know how to coordinate how to connect to each other before actually connecting. It can be a websocket server, REST API, email, QR codes, carrier pigeon, etc.

Also in general, I highly recommend webrtc-adapter.

Time it yourself by spinning the bottle right after you begin pouring, and you will notice that it is still faster. ;)

It's interesting because in some parts of Northern Mexico, you would think that use of "tú" didn't exist. NO ONE uses it, not even relatives or husbands and wife.

My dictionary defines abuse as "cruel and violent treatment of a person or animal". What is cruel specifically about setting expectations about what needs to be done? There is nothing cruel about requiring kin to call you sir especially when you can show that you deserve their respect.

It's an authoritarian parenting style, and I don't think anyone really likes it. But there's nothing here to suggest any marginal physical or emotional abuse. I personally know a few traditional Mexican families where the father is addressed as "sir" as a sign of respect but still knows how to care for their children.

Does it work without a mobile data connection? Regardless this is a great idea and I would love to know what it would take to convince other banks to do the same.

I'm halfway into the video and it seems like an impressive use of half a million lines of code. The developer(s) is a UV artist himself and says the algorithm's process is close to how he would do things himself. He discusses the entire algorithm but it comes down to identifying different features like hard flattish surfaces, cones, strips, smooth surfaces, etc and handling them independently.

It's probably not open source. It says email Quel Solaar for licensing. He is targeting game studios before moving on to film vfx studios.

Thanks, "fixing now!"

Yes, I plan to let him know soon!

EDIT: I found out he is providing extra credit for textbook errors.

No, in section 3.4.1.1 General-Purpose Registers in 64-Bit Mode of the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, it says, "32-bit operands generate a 32-bit result, zero-extended to a 64-bit result in the destination general-purpose register."

`xor eax, eax` actually generates 0x31 0xc0, and `xor rax, rax` generates 0x48 0x31 0xc0. 0x90 decodes to xchg eax, eax in all modes except long mode, which has no effect. In long mode, the opcode 0x90 has no effect still but is no longer equal to xchg eax, eax.

I am currently taking this class, and am happily surprised this made it here.

The book needs more work, but I still believe it's an great resource. For example, on page 11 it says "Note that when the lower 32-bit eax portion of the 64-bit rax register is set, the upper 32-bits are unaffected." In reality, the high order bits are zeroed to avoid a data dependency. I'm going through the entire book for typo hunting :-)

Also I found some issues while discussing Unicode, but the class only requires use of the ASCII character set.

Do they usually go in detail about what happened after they figure things out?

I agree that it's not convincing. But I think over the phone it makes it close to indiscernible.

tldr; There was a State of the Map event July 28-30 in Milan, Italy.

There was a lot of discussion of vector tiles and that eventually the homepage of OpenStreetMap.org would use vector tiles.

There are a few tools for fighting vandalism, but they aren't at the level of replacing a human editor.

A new data model for OpenStreetMap was discussed and there is discussion to whether they should improve the current one or replace it entirely.

There is a proposal for a new public transport schema to help make routing problems easier while also making it simpler for mappers to use.

Grants to the OpenStreetMap Foundations helped bring reps from underrepresented communities to the conference. Also, gender diversification was discussed.
