  > I prerecord all my live demos

That just sounds like a demo with more lying.

  > People are always impressed at how flawless my live demos are

Because they think it is live!

FTFY

Seriously... just call it a demo or pre-recorded. As soon as you call it "live" you've crossed into the territory of fraud.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this tool just types the commands. So it avoids typos and you can just focus on what you're saying as you type nonsense. Sounds like it actually does run your pre-written commands. From the readme:

> What's more, It's a Live is actually running the commands you're typing, so you have full interoperability with other programs.

I am quite confused; doesn't rsync already use content-defined chunk boundaries, with a condition on the rolling hash to define boundaries?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_hash#Content-based_sli...

The speed improvements over rsync seem related to a more efficient rolling hash algorithm, and possibly by using native windows executables instead of cygwin (windows file systems are notoriously slow, maybe that plays a role here).

Or am I missing something?

In any case, the performance boost is interesting. Glad the source was opened, and I hope it finds its way into rsync.

ohitsdom · 3 months ago

The readme very nicely contrasts the approach with rsync.

Very fun. My only suggestion would be a small highlight when you submit your fish so you can easily see which fish is yours - at least for a few seconds.

This happened for me, yellow/gold flashy lines around my fish. Maybe you missed it?

The list is longer than that! The earliest hop was probably by McDonnell Douglas in 1993 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_QQDY7PYc8

Thank you for posting this. DC-X was ground-breaking. Masten also had Xombie in 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FcUEjwDkk

Can't speak to the technical details, but if you're looking for feedback- some of the wording on this page feels off.

The specific "8 hrs" is strange, why not just say hours/days saved? It'll be different depending on level of experience anyway.

I'd also change "I have done it for you" to something like "FlutterFlash sets up all of these features, so you can focus on what matters..."

"No computer needed" really does a lot for the creative process, imo. It's a big reason why Teenage Engineering's OP-1 is so successful, despite its very high price.

The only reason the decision seems important now, is if you think the internet could of never been developed without the all-powerful minds of "Tim Berners-Lee and CERN"...

As computers got faster an nations and companies wanted to communicate between computers. It seems inevitable that the only way to communicate with computers is was a decentralised open and free network...

If it wasn't CERN, someone else would have built the internet...

ohitsdom · 3 years ago

Look at the current internet landscape- most users interact, find, and share content through the walled gardens of social networks. I don't think "decentralized open and free" networks are at all inevitable. To me those characteristics are shrinking, not growing.

More info on why that's necessary here: https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/17878/why-does-the...

Edit: "that" = one flip; not the many we saw today.

ohitsdom · 3 years ago

This isn't what the commentators are referring to when they talk about "the flip".

Rockets traditionally have some type of separation mechanism to separate stage 1 and stage 2. This is usually some type of pyro charge or an actual pneumatic pusher. SpaceX wants to avoid this complexity with Starship and instead "throw" off stage 2 (Starship) by doing a flip with the booster. I don't believe it's been done before for stage separation, but this is also how they deploy Starlink satellites. [0]

Obviously, something went wrong in stage separation today so Booster+Starship just continually flipped. We don't know exactly what the true flip will look like.

New Glenn looks promising on paper, but seven years later we haven't seen any hardware and the first launch is perpetually "next year". In that time, Starship has been redesigned twice, done flight and landing tests, and is preparing for a full orbital test, and even the perpetually-delayed SLS has flown once.

ohitsdom · 3 years ago

> preparing for a full orbital test

Rocket delays are inevitable. But since you mentioned New Glenn's perpetual delays, let's also be fair and note that Starship's orbital test has been teased by Elon for quite awhile now [0]. I happen to think an April/May launch is possible, but we'll see. And also good to note that this is still very much a "pathfinder" vehicle, in SpaceX's style of iterative design & test. So not at all the same as whenever New Glenn's first launch will be.
