Main Paineframe posted:i bet that a) they're also going to shut down the free version of play music that lets you listen to your own music, and b) the new platform won't have that ability plex sorta works to stream poo poo from my desktop to my phone, but sometimes when i skip a song it fails to play the next song, so i hit skip again and it successfully plays the next one if i used it daily it would probably make me very annoyed, but i work from home so i just wired up a raspberry pi to my stereo, installed mpd, and mounted my music folder from the windows box. needs mostly suited and i have an mp3 player for when i'm out of the house

we use G Suite at work and it's mostly fine but they recently rolled out this Meet thing as an eventual replacement for hangouts I guess? the problem is meet only shares your screen at 720p apparently, while hangouts would do pretty good at any resolution, so now if somebody presents a window bigger than 1280x720 it rescales the image into something unreadable. we're back to using hangouts if we're going to screen-share. the original reason we tried to transition to meet is that it allows telephone dial-in, many people seem to be frightened and confused by the idea of a link you click to join a video call.

infernal machines posted:wait, no, please tell me hea meant coding his own apps for android in notepad++ or something and sideloading, not coding apps on his phone. yeah i just mean it would be nice to be able to write the equivalent of a shell script, ideally from off the phone, and load it into the phone. like i acknowledge that this is something only the most demented and hosed up of computer touchers would want which is why there will never really be a mainstream device for that. but as somebody who writes shell scripts all the drat time that's something i'm comfortable with, and if i could make a button that e.g. scp'd all photos taken in the last day to my web server in an appropriately-named directory and then gave me a url i could text to people, i'd just as soon do that as gently caress around with ifttt or whatever other crap

qirex posted:imo there should be multiple front-ends for the music services given the many, many different ways people listen to music but that would mean compromising ~*the brand experience*~ so they just ruthlessly optimize towards a lovely shuffled playlist middle ground instead providing an api would allow turbonerds to scratch their own itches in that regard but that would require google et al to actually commit to something and stick to it for at least a few months at a time. also if its like most apis, it'll be different from what they actually use for the official app and only support an incredibly limited set of operations because nobody wanted to do it and they just told the summer intern to throw something together.

i predict that they're going to start displaying a 'verified name' or something similar in the location bar, so you don't see forums.somethingawful.com, you see 'Something Awful Forums' and a green checkmark. to keep the lists of verified names up to date, every time you hit a page it'll send the whole url to google servers to check. getting the verified site name requires you to register with them in some fashion. if you don't register it will show the domain and a poop emoji instead of a checkmark. they will claim this is to protect against deceptive unicode domain names or whatever. edit: they're already headed toward this by displaying the ssl cert's organization name when you go to some sites

Cocoa Crispies posted:you mean the academia where tenured faculty frequently sabotage the adjuncts' attempts to unionize to preserve their hierarchy? academia also gets the anonymous sabotage, where you're doing peer review for a paper that conflicts with / supersedes whatever you're working on so you vote against including it in the conference/journal. i had a paper torpedoed a couple years ago, it described a tool we'd built and based on the comments in the most negative review we were able to figure out who that reviewer was... he was a guy whose entire career at this point was basically maintaining a system that could be made obsolete by our tool. (he shouldn't have really worried, once an academic has selected a tool he will cling to it until either he dies or it is literally impossible to continue using said tool)

hobbesmaster posted:the problem is that in CS the "keeping up with industry" that the professors are doing is machine learning algorithms or whatever the computer science classes that were actually about computer science were interesting though, and when i can step back from intensive computer touching for a loving second and like just try to think about e.g. if this function is going to scale O(n) or O(n^3) it's both enjoyable and useful. teaching the latest javascript framework is useless because by the time you graduate it's now the N-2 javascript framework and all the kids who went to CODING BOOTCAMP last week will make fun of you. take software engineering if you want to learn agile waterfall scrum development for javascript mvp tech demos, imo i took a class in "cybernetics" (machine learning + EEG wires stuck to your skin, basically) and it kind of sucked because it was all hacky bullshit implemented in matlab. that was 2010 though so maybe poo poo's better now. operating systems was the best course i took in the cs dept.
