May I recommend adding a slow loris or two to the mix? I don’t think you’ll regret it.

…I agree that’s a fact.

Certainly, anything that can improve on the efficiency of thermometric conversion, let alone a solid-state device would be great news with wide-ranging positive ramifications. Especially over the massive range of scales that is claimed. Let’s see if the concept can deliver.

I believe that Handbrake externalizes the handling of BD encryption to an separate external library (libbdplus IIRC) for various legal and logistical reasons. You’ll need that installed too if you want to decode encrypted discs.

I honestly didn’t care enough to spend time looking into it as I’m not being paid to make Wired’s website functional. Thankfully, BrikoX was the real MVP and ensured nobody has to actually go there to access the content by posting an archive link.

If the basic version of MakeMKV isn’t enough for you and you don’t want to register for the full version, Handbrake is a good alternative.

I’ll wait for benchmarks conducted by an independent party before getting my hopes up on that, but I’ll certainly be nice if it proves true.

Welcome! Here’s hoping you’ll enjoy yourself.

All told, it’s also a transformative shift that has countless users considering greener pastures, like Linux or even Apple’s macOS.

It’s novel to see OSX described as if it was some distant contender to Linux. Maybe for Windows-refugees it is, for all I know.

Disclaimer: I’m not Ruby programmer. I evaluated it once, saw no particular reason to use it instead of Python and promptly forgot about it.

With that said, the specific criticism(s) are:

• Poor performance. Sure. Ruby does appear to be somewhat slower than Python, but I’m more concerned about the peak memory consumption which is admittedly frequently pretty terrifying. Mind you, if I need high performance, I’m not likely to be using either Ruby or Python. It’s fine for automation scripts, rapid prototyping or experimentation, hypothesis validation, moderate data processing, analysis and visualization, but yes: If you build your (supposedly) hyper-scalable website on Rails or use it for the system software for your embedded device, you’re going to have a bad time. Every tool has its place (except Brainfuck). Don’t use a hammer when you should be using a screwdriver.

• The above also covers the railing against rails, about which I have no further comment as I’ve never used it. Maybe it’s nice, but if you’re working on something with more concurrent users than your homelab automation UX, there’s undoubtedly better alternatives.

…And that appears to be it. So it boiled to down to “performance”. Does that in and of itself make Ruby “not a serious programming language”. Well, if it does, then the same applies to Python. Does it mean that there’s probably a better alternative for any given application? Probably yes.

Thank you.

Maybe if I could read the article I’d have something to say about that. I guess we’ll never know, and that’s probably for the best.

As Trump has never been know to stick to any agreement he’s made with others, why should anybody stick to one made with him?

A lot of things should, but apparently don’t.

“Just follow the legal process”, huh?

How do you even live with yourself if you’ve been a part of those proceedings?

Well, yeah. What else would one do it with it? Set it on fire and scatter the ashes?

…Right next to the oil furnace in the basement, trying to figure out how to rig it to blow and burn the place down.
