My data structure practice teammates always merges divergent branches like there’s no tomorrow
Then again, both of them use the recommended GitHub Desktop instead of the Git CLI, so it’s up to that app to decide which one to use
why oh why does my windows on Windows freeze when I pasted something 😭
this week’s database system practice post test: making the most spaghetti SQL queries:
-- no intersect =(
select distinct (
select name
from Lecturers
where id=C1.lecturer_id
limit 1
) as name
from Courses as C1
where
exists(
select 1
from Courses as C2
where
C2.lecturer_id=C1.lecturer_id
and C2.semester='Odd'
)
and exists(
select 1
from Courses as C2
where
C2.lecturer_id=C1.lecturer_id
and C2.semester='Even'
)

I wonder what the huebird is doing right now after the ban

from functools import partial, reduce
@partial(reduce, op.add)

So I drew some Baba is You characters on one of my uni’s lounge room yesterday
Seems like others have joined in
I just hinted Luddites without knowing it

I’m struggling to find a “simple website” for me to do PageRank on (as asked by the problem on my graph algorithm assignment) so I used the 2024 scrape of wasteof I made
I can say that the post with the highest PageRank is https://wasteof.money/posts/62739c27764628df27898724 with a PageRank of 0.015250907165356174… and it’s engagement bait. Greeeat.
some context for my previous post:
I smuggled Jack (my other laptop) to my boarding house so I can set up dual PC recording (after getting a subpar recording of my playthrough of the secret level in beatblock). I don’t have a capture card, but I can connect Jack and John through Ethernet, so my cunning plan is I would have John stream the screen using FFmpeg (since x11grab is cheap, or at least cheaper than encoding), and have Jack encode it to its hard drive.
Ideally I would just stream the raw video to Jack, but the Ethernet adapter I bought for John is only fast (100 Mbps), and I would need at least a 1 Gbps connection to stream raw video (and that’s with 8-bit color, if I want 24-bit that would raise it to 2.5 Gbps). Even if I got that sorted, I still have to put it on some container, and finding the right one is tricky (which is why I posted that post)
With Matroska, I’m getting EBML header parsing failed; this seems to be a common problem with corrupted Matroska streams, which makes sense for a video stream that starts whenever John is transmitting right now.
With NUT, the receiving end hangs, waiting for a “main startcode”, which I think is the NUT terminology of the ultimate file header.
I could use MPEG-TS, but not all codecs are supported by that container. FFmpeg does still stream them as data streams, but good luck telling the receiving end what those data streams actually mean.
There was a time once when I concatenated Ogg files and noticed that they join together. I thought that means Ogg files has no (ultimate) file header, but after some testing that turned out not to be the case.
In the end, I ended up having to use hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding (figuring that out is “fun”) with a ludicrous bitrate (to hopefully minimize the compression overhead) which I stream to Jack to re-encode. Now I really wish there’s something like NUT that you can stream.
You can’t stream MKV
You can’t stream NUT
You can stream MPEG-TS, but it’s picky
You can stream Ogg, but it’s picky
