John Gruber and Ben Thompson discussed a comparison of podcast vs. youtube and how podcasting isn't dominated by one company like youtube is for video. This is in the context of Joe Rogan moving to spotify. https://overcast.fm/+B7NB1G3rw/44:01


Spotify is trying real hard to become the YouTube of podcasts unfortunately.


John Boiles has a proof of concept of the OBS virtual cam. I tried it out and it worked for me, although I had to build it and OBS from source. He has good instructions.

Yes, that's the proof of concept I have tried. It builds from source relatively straightforwardly (takes a short while), and indeed the instructions are very good.

Ah, yes, the trailing comma in a list, which I like to refer to as the "Silicon Valley Comma"

[ "a", "b", "c", ] // the silicon valley comma


Of course it looks ugly if you list things horizontally... :)


If that's the Silicon Valley Comma, what do you call this?

    [
       "an
     , "array"
     , "of"
     , "things"
    ]
Because I have an irrational hatred of that style. (Yes, I know the purported benefits when diffing files, I don't care :P)


That's not as good as the SVC because you'll still get unnecessary diffs when prepending to the list

SVC allows you to both prepend and append without adding extra diffs


It's a nice thing to have when you generate JSON programmatically :)

American case law doesn't really hold for Canada.


And in any case, at borders there is not the same level of protection as within the country:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception

"This doctrine is not actually an exception to the Fourth Amendment, but rather to the Amendment's requirement for a warrant or probable cause. Balanced against the sovereign's interests at the border are the Fourth Amendment rights of entrants. Not only is the expectation of privacy less at the border than in the interior,the Fourth Amendment balance between the interests of the Government and the privacy right of the individual is also struck much more favorably to the Government at the border.This balance at international borders means that routine searches are "reasonable" there, and therefore do not violate the Fourth Amendment's proscription against "unreasonable searches and seizures"


> Not only is the expectation of privacy less at the border than in the interior ...

Begging the question, wouldn't you say? The only reason there is less expectation of privacy at the border is because of government policies, like this one, whose constitutionality is open to question.


> Begging the question, wouldn't you say?

Yes I would!
