My assumption based the note that Linux Plex servers won't work with Parsec is that the emulation & streaming is done on your local network.

Either way, I've yet to have a suitably positive experience streaming anything interactive on either LAN or WAN. I see the improvements that have been made and many friends swear by it, but it may just be that I'm too sensitive to input lag and even the rarest encode/decode hiccup.


Which have you tried? I had similar problems as you with steamlink, but geforce experience+moonlight has been a godsend. Works incredibly well (if you have a Nvidia GPU)


Steam has been the only thing I've tried LAN (other than some early PS4 remote play years ago), so that may be the issue. Geforce Now is probably the best I've tried of the bunch, so I'll give their tools a shot locally next time.


I can only imagine how many battery cycles I've lost to the BigQuery web console, especially the jobs detail views. Safari tends to be pretty great with battery life, but it's no match for that thing.


I saw the headline and immediately realized I've noticed similar oddness in the Atlanta area recently. Glad to hear I'm not alone. So far I've been blaming it on weirdness from my devices roaming between mesh router nodes, but now I'm going to run the test script overnight and see if anything turns up.


The first example seems to work fine in iOS 11, but congrats on the clickbait title.


To be fair, iOS 11 is only a couple of weeks from being adopted from hundreds millions of people. Our community isn't as proactive in testing against unreleased software as the native iOS community. :disappointed_face:


Ditto - the bug appears to have been fixed in Safari 11.


These videos are presented as real but look completely fake and staged.

First we see a winged glider being launched, but then we somehow switch to quadcopters dropping bombs with remarkable accuracy. I mean, they've even gone to the trouble of adding video game overlays at various points.

Please use as much skepticism with ISIS propaganda videos as you would with the next leaked video from Magic Leap.


They do look suspicious but ISIS does have drones filming their Mosul battle suicide truck attacks for a while now it was only a matter of time https://youtu.be/D46BMLYh3zE

The drones are not pinpoint accuracy they are apparently primarily being used as a diversion to attract the fire of Iraqi forces by dropping 40mm grenades near their position.


like many video pieces, they often collage things together. however and unfortunately that tank one looked pretty real. not sure where the'd get a spare m1 to film that


They're known to have captured many of them from the Iraqis. Here's one such report: http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/05/20/isis-captures-...


> Please use as much skepticism with ISIS propaganda videos as you would with the next leaked video from Magic Leap.

Can you cite one time ISIS has lied? They don't do that.

When they claim something, they have done it.

Unlike Magic Leap, we've seen ISIS's claims verified time after time.


I question the author of this article. The propaganda video is honest in using obvious computer effects and perfectly framed shots. I believe that they produced these films, but this article is garbage.


After five-ish years of mostly sticking to Paleo I have a similar reaction (heart palpitations + general awful feeling) when I eat something like pizza or drink a beer. Not an issue when I eat fries or other simple carb cheats, but it's enough to remind me why I gave up this stuff in the first place.


Couldn't you use inline scripts and styles with images specified as data uris?


Yes, I've used bundlers before which package the scripts and styles into a single HTML file.


Data URLs for large images are horribly space-inefficient.


Data URLs should be ~1.37x the size [0] of the original file (and generally, kept in the same format). Obviously, there are issues of caching, keeping the image loaded in memory, etc, but it shouldn't be all that bad. Esp. when you consider that ads are inefficient for a variety of other reasons.

Right, I miscalculated, Base64 isn't as bad as I thought.


Once you gzip them they aren't bad.


We've been down the rabbit hole for a while now, and we've decided it's not so bad down here. Now we are browsing for curtains and a good rug to make the place feel more like home.


For registered users it has been active again for the past two months—this is just the first stable release from that work. There was a noticeable silence from October through January, but lots of activity ever since. Hopefully it continues.

I tried Atom during the lull and it's gotten really great, but ultimately went back to the plugins/snippets I know and love.


Here's a great video recorded at id Software in November of 1993 by Dan Linton, a visiting BBS operator: https://vimeo.com/4022128

Around a month later, the first public version of Doom was uploaded to the BBS that Dan Linton ran.


Ad seems a tad optimistic given the examples you can view are kind of awful. I get that not everything is going to be professional and polished when it hits the real world, but this can't be one of your three "sways we love" at product launch: https://sway.com/red_panda


Just FYI it's made by a 7th grader.
