I hope qntm has the chance to traditionally publish Ra and have it edited as well. I enjoyed the book a lot, but felt it needed a solid once over.

Really enjoyed the novel though! Planning to reread it in the spring.

For those coming to this thread after it was scrubbed, the author unfortunately felt they had to shut the project down after being pressured by their employer. The name is redacted and the website shut down.

For what it's worth, commentary from others on the JJ Discord suggested that this could not be a legally binding requirement as the author is located in California. California has laws that prevent employers from controlling employees inventions outside of work hours when using their own devices: https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/labor-code/lab-sect-2870/

Why not set it up as your default search engine? That’s what I did. Hard to forget when it’s the default

I dunno, I guess out of principle I don't like my 'defaults' to be something I have to be logged into.

Are you upset about DRM in general? Or that Signal, by default, prevents Windows from capturing the Signal window when it screenshots the screen every few seconds?

because it sounds like Windows is the problem here, doing this screenshotting at all. And Signal allows you to disable the anti-screenshotting measure

andes314, can you expand on how you see this as Postman for MCP?

Thanks! As soon as I saw Niri I wondered if there was a macOS alternative.

Aerospace has a similar resizing glitch as PaperWM.spoon: resizing one direction ends up looking wonky if you do it fast enough. It’s noticeable at the end of the smooth scrolling demo. That must be a macOS thing…

I may check out PaperWM.spoon at some point but realistically I’ll set up a VM and try out Niri

Does Effect prevent workers that have uncaught exceptions from crashing the main thread in Node? Does it reduce the amount of memory workers use?

I’d assume effect would increase how much memory JS uses, you’re creating a bunch of memory junk.

In theory it should make you able to contain errors with exception handing.

The title "For the 1st time in Canada, surgeons put teeth in patients' eyes to restore sight" is much clearer than "Surgery aims to restore sight by implanting a telescopic lens in a tooth".

First, the tooth is put into the eye — used as biocompatible material to hold the lens. Second, the surgery is 60 years old and has something like a 94% success rate after 27 years, so it's hardly fair to say "surgery _aims_ to restore sight". It almost certainly will restore sight. The part that is interesting in this story is that it's an uncommon surgery that is happening only for the first time _in Canada_.

Those are good points. dcminter suggested a different wording, which might have a less agitating effect, so we can try that for a while.

Thanks! Your hard work is appreciated.

The website is wacky and the demo video is fascinating. That edge effect? how long it takes to transition? so good

Please don’t take this as criticism of your setup, but why are you trying to stream Blu-ray Disc folders at all? Why not transcode the files?

Firsly, I have multiple tens of terabytes of movies (painful to duplicate), and I watch them with their original menus in Kodi.

Secondly, a BDMV can't be turned into a single correct linear representation - for example, the Star Trek TOS discs have the ability to toggle back and forth between original and CG-remastered graphics seamlessly. As another example, I have stereoscopic 3D blu-rays; should the transcode be the left eye view, or side-by-side 3D with an ultrawide file?

Finally, transcoding necessarily sacrifices quality. Remuxing wouldn't, but Jellyfin usually refuses to stream remuxed containers and insists on transcoding to attach subtitles (their javascript web player and even app don't seem to handle the subs correctly?).

To sum up, turning a disc folder into a single file requires losing content.

This is an interesting take, thanks for describing it. I think most people, myself included, would find your setup a little odd, but I completely understand why you're doing it. It would make many (most?) home media servers a little hobbled, especially if you wanted to stream content to mobile devices outside of the home, but it sounds as if this is more of a replacement for the old pile of set-top boxes for you, rather than a general service to all your devices, is that a fair interpretation?

Yes, what I've got is like a streaming service, but at much higher quality and with a selection that doesn't rotate out as rights lapse.

The stuff that Jellyfin would provide - being able to watch from a device using just a web browser and no client install - is nice-to-have, not need-to-have.

The "Jellyfin for Kodi" plugin (not Jellycon!) supports a "native path" streaming mode that just directly passes the raw video file to Kodi, avoiding Jellyfin's transcoding entirely. I've never used it with BDMV's, but it does work with other formats Jellyfin can't transcode properly like Dolby Vision.

Also, if you do ever want to remux those discs, mkv does support both those features now (player support is lacking though). You'll want to look for "3D MVC" support, and including 2 video tracks in one mkv is no problem.

The reason I'd use Jellyfin is to stream things to a non-Kodi client (a web browser). If I have a Kodi client, I would just read the files as-is.

I don't believe that mkv supports bd-j menus. Happy to be proven wrong on that if you have some further reading I could do.
