Is Netflix even using H265?

Is this a joke? There are about a thousand projects / things I would rather donate to before a trivial color visualizer.

This website sucks, it takes forever to load challenge pages because they're flooded with irrelevant entries which you can't even see if you don't submit your own. You can't even visualize the solutions directly in the browser.

How's the performance of the resulting games? With unity I've found that it's a mixed bag, but it's hard to know if that's the fault of developers or the engine.

>execute AIs on clients, and send their inputs along with players' inputs

That seems strange, you'd be sending multiple times the same AI's actions to the server, in which case you better be certain that it's deterministic, not to mention the security concerns. It seems far easier to execute the AI on the server and send its actions to each player, especially if it's a trivial AI.

I somewhat doubt that a hollow plastic tank is significantly more expensive than a concrete block. Factor in the added cost of shipping the much heavier concrete block, and it seems like the manufacturer would also save money in the process.

>because of sore fingers

Maybe in the beginning, but after having developed calluses you can basically practice for an undefinite period of time.

Maybe in the short term you'll change distro or stick to X11, but when you decide to change GPU you'll likely try to get one with more compatibility.

I never understood why people argue that operator overload is a bad thing. In a language that doesn't support it, you're going to have a function "T add(T, T)" which is pretty much the same, and can do anything. Overloading "T operator+(T, T)" is mostly syntactic sugar.

But then you get different behavior depending on the platform, which doesn't seem any more portable to me.

I've also gutted a lot of stuff from termite in my own fork (overaly, vi mode, clickable urls) and it definitely makes for a lovely minimalistic terminal. I'm thankful for termite being so simple (granted the lifting is done by a lib) that this is possible without much effort.

I just wish I could log the scrollback buffer so that I could open an actual editor on it, but I don't think libvte exposes anything to do this.

>I just wish you guys can learn more of vi, so you can truly deliver something better. So far, these surface scratching alterations only build on irritations of those vi first-timers

Mind expanding on that, or are you just going to whine? It's not like vi is the ultimate tool.
