> There are so many times where I want to create 3-4 Merge requests that all build on each other instead of creating one giant MR but the UI for reviewing them doesn't really work that way.

it sounds like you want multiple checkpoints for review parts to happen on, but still only 1 merge in the end


boolean "you are vulnerable" means nothing, because it's always True

spreading out decreases risk, concentration increases it


what are the open source alternatives?

In most countries, including in Europe, the H.264 patents have already expired. There you can use H.264 freely.

Some patents remain valid in USA, Brazil and a few other countries.


This is for patent licensing. Using an open source implementation doesn't get rid of your obligation to license the patents for it.

In most countries the H.264 patents have already expired, for instance in Europe they have expired, but in USA not yet (in USA most patents should expire towards the end of next year).

So that firm might try to squeeze every penny they can before the expiration of the patents.


OpenH264, and Cisco already paid the fees for you, I guess.

VP9, AV1

As the article says, there are companies seeking royalties for both of these codecs.

The funny thing about patent licensing alliances is that there's no guarantee that nobody else outside of the bloc will pop up and start suing people.

Basically, you can consider AOM to be a licensing alliances, where the fee is zero.


There is no proof that their patent claims over AV1 or VP9 are valid.

For now they try to bully some smaller companies with the threat of the big legal expenses that would be needed to fight these claims.


i don't think Snap Inc. and Amazon are small companies

Seeking is not getting, not even close. Suggesting it is only supports their propaganda and adds momentum to their bogus race to a cash grab.

AV1, as well as the older On2 codec series it was based off of (VP9, VP8, etc).

any examples? I'd love to watch how that went


Here is a Match where Nakamura played with Rybka against Stockfish from 2014: https://www.chess.com/news/view/stockfish-outlasts-nakamura-...

And here Nakamura still reached 4.5:3.5 vs Komodo in 2016 https://www.chess.com/news/view/komodo-beats-nakamura-in-fin...

Hikaru surely has more matches like that, but I don't know if they can be found in chess databases or if they were only streamed on YouTube.


that's human+odds vs pc

GP was talking about pc+human vs pc


can't you have life that dies before it poops?

"death before dishonor" xD


Whatever eats that thing has to deal with the waste that it stores.

Wonderful defense mechanism.


In that case the corpse is the poop. There are insects whose adult stages do this.

> "Yes, we're excited and eager to begin immediate fluid disposal!"

corporate talk on a public science mission :/


This doesn't register as corpo talk to me, more tongue-in-cheek nerdy mission control talk. See also "rapid unscheduled disassembly".

I hope they remember to cut the mics during the fluid disposal event

catheters are very uncomfortable

also apparently an infection risk


More like an infection certainty. Don't ask me how I know :-(
