The crisis in France is clearly not on the same level that is in Quebec. It's not the only factor, but a serious one. As a continuation of it we have a heavily caped number of doctors what can be 'minted' every year. Same caps exist in the USA states.
This also happens in Italy, there's a maximum number of people who can get into med school. However, even though some complain of being overworked, some others complain that increasing that maximum number will lead to unemployment. So apparently medical professionals can either be overworked or unemployed, there is no in between..
I've had some success with Motion (in that i have pictures of a dude ski mask wearing dude looking around the house), which is also open source C (++? no idea). I will look into this but my impression is that work on the edge is done already and what is really needed is some sort of central processor that runs YOLO on several streams
Lots of other interesting projects on the author's site, check them out

I take it you dislike Escher as well then
Hey guys, I'm the dev of Open TV. Someone from here sent me an email so I just made an account to give a bit more context about my project.
Open TV is a search-based IPTV player designed for desktop use. It puts to the fire many of the sins of UI/UX design of traditional IPTV apps to prioritize simplicity and speed. Many classic IPTV features like the EPG are absent on purpose just to keep that commitment.
I've been developing Open TV solo for the past 2 years. It used to be a very basic electron app that I made for my relatives so they would stop using proprietary, slow and almost malware-tier IPTV apps.
I shared it with others as a "it's useful for me, maybe also for you". I had absolutely no intention of making it bigger than a stupid simple m3u viewer (it didn't even have xtream support before, or even categories). But I received so much positive feedback from users that I decided to give it some more love. It's been on and off, and at some point I reached 0.9.8 and pretty much called it quits for a while. I wasn't paid to work on Open TV so it was very difficult to allocate even more time.
I decided to revisit the project 4 months ago. Over the past 3-4 months, I've completely rewritten the app in Rust/Tauri so that I could finally add features requested by the community and to be able to publish it on Flathub/Microsoft Store.
One of the very first feature request of this project was to put it on flathub and I'm really proud to finally deliver on that. I'm a Debian user, so it feels like I'm finally giving back to the open source community by making it my app so widely accessible on Linux.
If you like Open TV and its dedication to be simple, fast and bloat-free, please consider donating. I'm still solo on this and doing it purely for the sake of my users (I don't really watch TV...), so any contribution is really appreciated.
I would add a bottom status bar so you can give immediate feedback when launching a new viewer. The initial lag was so long i ended up starting the same stream 3 times because i was unsure the click had registered.
genericacct commented on Canvas is a new way to write and code with ChatGPT openai.com/index/introduc... · Posted by u/davidbarker
I'm a solo business owner who knows enough JS/TS/HTML/CSS to get by -- my product is a website full of information -- but I've never been 'a developer'.
ChatGPT et. al. is a miraculous boost to my productivity. This morning I needed a function to iterate over some JSON and do stuff with it. Fairly mundane, and I could have written it myself.
Doing so would have been boring, routine, and would have taken me at least an hour. I asked ChatGPT 4o and I got exactly what I wanted in 30 seconds.
I can only hope that these tools enable more people like me to build more cool things. That's how it's affected me: I never would have hired another dev. No job is lost. I'm just exponentially better at mine.
it needs to be said that web dev is by far the area in which LLMs are more versed , i suppose due to the incredible amount of training data available. Other languages produce more allucinations for now.

The fact that ESPN itself has a sports betting app tells you all you need to know about the perversion of sports now that gambling is blessed by the government.
I think I can live with the legalization of sports betting if there are strong restrictions against marketing and advertising. If you want to ruin your life that's your decision, and you can always just take the same amount of money and bet it on the stock market. But the way that advertising has its tentacles in our culture now... it's bad.
It's worse than bad, I have seen betting ads and placement in content that regular advertisers would not touch with a 10 feet pole, e.g. in pirated broadcasts
they can be credited with inventing e-commerce imho...

Had the backpack problem for some time... my current fix is a bash script that goes
while true; do pm-suspend; sleep 12; done
I just ctrl-c it when i need to use it and then restart it when i am done. Dirty but it works..
