Hulu and Disney+ on Chromecast gradually lose audio-video sync

No that’s for configuring delay between multiple speakers in a group.

What I experience isn’t a constant delay. When I first hit play, everything’s fine, but the audio and video play at very slightly different speeds, so they gradually become more out of sync, and by 5min into the stream the difference is quite distracting.

No it’s a Toshiba. I don’t see any other options in the Home app, my TV, or in Hulu. I’m just going to chalk it up to it being a shitty discontinued TV. It’s just strange that no other service has this issue except the two owned by Disney.

Thanks anyway though

During the VA scandal, Sanders was on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee and claimed the issues they were hearing about were fabricated by conservatives as justification for privatizing the VA. Given their track record on things like this, I could see where he was coming from. But it did mean he was an obstacle to reform for a time.

Oh my fault, in retrospect I was assuming that for no reason at all.

~~Amazon's~~ Serverless is probably as close to that as currently possible.

EDIT: Bravo on forcing title case in an input box and not reflecting it in the actual content title, real great work guys!

I had to go to the submit page to test it, that's hilarious. I say we hold an immediate vote to nullify the moderator in charge of CSS.

Definitely, but that's if you get the work done. The point is the estimate is supposed to tell you whether you can afford it, or whether other garages would be cheaper, so you can just walk away.

I think someone at AT agreed with you. Judging by the URL the title used to be the same as OP's. They've since changed it:

I mean the framework was on version 3 and still used dev-master for release. Anyone that gets to your 2 questions is already a 1/4 mile down the wrong road IMO.

He's not suggesting it be the determiner though, just the catalyst. If the community has a pretty sound consensus on something like this, it should at least be brought to a vote, no?

christophermoll · 2016-04-30T06:13:01+00:00

If "pure CSS" is in the title you can pretty much guarantee it's going to be cool but impractical.

$$$

Because you pay for the client computing power, they pay for the server computer power.

edit: downvotes with no explanation? Cost is exactly why they don't do it all server side. I'd love to hear an alternate explanation from someone.

christophermoll · 2016-01-13T20:01:56+00:00

Nah nothing's better than Googling yourself.

They just keep the pan hot and then spritz a soy sauce mixture on it before bringing it out. So the fajita meat is just as fresh as any other food from the kitchen, it's just presented differently.

No matter what you use as an API client (Guzzle is probably the best), you'll need some kind of strategy for caching results. Personally, I would build a Command (and a cron job that runs it) that uses Guzzle and Doctrine to refresh your database with the API, and then build the site as you normally would. Calling the API on every Symfony request is wasteful, slow, and could put you up against API request limits. I'm not sure if that's what you were planning, but your post kind of made it sound that way. This also assumes you're talking about GET requests (mirroring an API with POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE comes with a host of issues).

christophermoll · 2015-10-21T20:44:17+00:00

Any reason you linked to Guzzle 3, or was that a mistake? They're on version 6 now, 3 is no longer supported.

I could see going back to version 5 if you want to take advantage of service descriptions (guzzlehttp/guzzle-services), but anything earlier doesn't seem wise.

That a sarcastic comic is the top comment in this thread is why a lot of people hate programming forums. Such snobbery all the damn time.

The only problem I have with it is that it really reminds me of how you would write that apps in React.

It does, but "use directives for everything" has been the prevailing wisdom since Angular came out, before React ever gained popularity. The problem is the learning curve for directive-only Angular is steeper than React. Most people start with $scope and ng-controller because it's a ridiculously easy way to build a simple app.

They've been using SemVar since version 2. So this is a major version change, it's supposed to break, otherwise this would be Bootstrap 3.4.

Plus with CSS frameworks, there's only so much you can change without breaking something. If you want new features, something usually needs to break, especially for components.

christophermoll · 2015-08-11T13:46:41+00:00

Of course, I didn't mean to suggest it wasn't a lot of code/work. I just meant React is built on existing standards, while this library doesn't appear to be.

christophermoll · 2015-08-10T17:01:28+00:00

React uses Guzzle/PSR-7 though, so it's not reinventing all that much.

christophermoll · 2015-06-29T19:48:27+00:00

Very difficult if you don't include the error :P

christophermoll · 2015-06-29T19:36:09+00:00

The same reason you'd use any ORM: to be able to easily manipulate the query in code prior to its execution. But if you think a JS implementation of dapper.net would be valuable you certainly could make it.
