That's not how casting works. It's actually super locked down: the TV loads a netflix website and you can't create your own Chromecast receivers.

How does VLC do it then?

So that they have the flexibility to run it as a staff service with substantial delay by slotting it in later gaps in the schedule.

No passenger would accept 30 mins delays every day.


None of the things you mention are things I've seen in my union covered jobs in the UK.

I've never heard of union rules here. Employees are not required to be part of the union in order to get their benefits, the unions just negotiate with employers on behalf of all employees. I've also never heard of credentials/gatekeeping for unions in the companies I've worked in.

For reference, I was working as a software developer at a University on a research project: I got the benefits of the higher education university (nationally negotiated pay scales, holiday benefits, etc) but was not a member.

Pay was lower, yes, but that wasn't mandatory; that was just the budget of a research project.


Scraping is about harvesting data. Just using the API like any other user is clearly not scraping.

Is browsing linkedin scraping? Is browsing hacker news through an alternate client scraping?

No, scraping is rehosting hacker news.


I do not believe that's the proper definition of "scraping"


> Warranty Included

> Every purchase is covered by a 1-year warranty for peace of mind protection.

Uh, why are you marketing a bare minimum (often legally required) warranty as a pro? It kinda conflicts with "built to last"!

You'd be better off not even mentioning it.


Image data is just encapsulated: you just take a jpeg file and write it to bytes and wrap it a little.


That’s misleading.

- medicine chooses lossless formats

- there are security concerns with decoders and operating systems

- once you build a medical device, the future of your company depends on being able to expensively patch it


You're in the UK: take advantage of the various schemes that allow people with disabilities to get guaranteed first interviews.

If you need any software job you might even have luck with graduate schemes at companies like BT who I believe will have similar shortcuts through recruitment for those with disabilities.

I didn't know about this! For anyone else who might benefit, it looks like it's the Disability Confident Scheme: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/disability-confide...

Thank you so much.


Also access to work: https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work.


Consider adding the widget/action to your quick actions: then to don't need to copy paste at least


For those of us unfamiliar, can you describe the resulting UI pattern? Do you give focus to the password field and then tap a button at the top of the notification shade which automatically types (or gives a choice, if multiple are saved) whatever the password manager has for that site? I'm slightly surprised that something running in that context would know what site the browser has open.


It appears to work... I wasn't even really aware I could add such a thing until the GP comment. I also managed to get the integrated use working... apparently there's now a separate config option for "chrome integration" and "brave integration" etc.


It reads the browser URL through an accessibility service.


Well, we've made other situations where companies offer people money illegal. Such as bribery, or paying someone to steal trade secrets.


And neither is alleged. It was a patent that we are discussing which by definition isn’t a trade secret.

But you are coming awfully close to advocating for non competes which is explicitly not allowed in CA.


But why should it take time at all? Newer developer tooling (especially some of the rust tools e.g. UV) are lightning fast.

Wouldn't it be better if you asked for it and rather than having to manage workers it was just... Done


Yes it would be good if we lived in a world where ai magically knew exactly what we wanted even before we did and implemented everything perfectly first time in a way we’d have no issues with or tweaks we’d like it to make ever. I agree.
