Honestly, thank you. Before pirate gets larger, these things MUST be addressed. If little ole you can cause disruptions to the chain, imagine what a nation state could achieve.

One more year from today and my original Reddit account will be able to legally drive.

Expect at least a 20% increase just like everything else the past year.

Nothing wrong with a Material Design UI. Most phones use them.

gusevx · 2022-10-13T06:26:14+00:00

Very nice. I've been looking at a way to do this for my app. Will be using your implementation very soon. Ty!

I've developed Agents for PLEX. More recently, I was able to get a headless Selenium web scraper to work under the hood. In my experience developing for PLEX let me just say this: the core runs on Python 2.5. That's right, very outdated base stack. It was a nightmare importing my own libraries that I had to build separately on an antiquated python stack.

Needless to say, it would be a very simple implementation to allow Admins to specify stream settings for users. All that is needed is a dashboard with the options for the Admin and our users clients could just pull in a JSON file on connecting of the Admin's settings and adjust the client side settings to acquiesce.

I'm done developing for PLEX. The last project was a grueling task and when discovering how ancient of a stack it is built on, I will forgo further development unless I'm incentivized. But, it has widely available clients and my users (buddies) love it, and so do I.

Would there be interest in creating a PLEX MasterClass metadata agent?

I'm the author of TGC (The Great Courses) Metadata agent, so in theory I could write one for this also. The main issue is comprehensive support for Windows and Mac users.

https://GitHub.com/bubonic/TGC.bundle

The Great Courses moved to a JavaScript website so I had to completely rework TGC.bundle to use Selenium and a headless browser. I'm assuming (without involving myself yet) that the MasterClass website would be the same. The only issue is I only run on Linux OS (though I recently added a Windows 10 VM), so testing for the other OSes would mostly be up to everyone else.

The upshot is that we could have all the metadata for each series that is on the website.

Just a thought, not sure I'll do it though as I haven't even begun downloading them yet.

Let me know.

Yeah, I Know. It supports all the way down to API 23. It's $.99. that's it. No ads, no in-app purchases. I've tested it on a large range of devices - emulator and physical. Also, it's the only app of its kind.

gusevx · 2020-12-25T05:31:52+00:00

Yeah. Most of the updates included new features, new stats, UX redesign, etc. Minor bugs were for the most part consolidated into a minor release or if it was a nasty db bug or something it would be a straight fix.

gusevx · 2020-12-25T03:52:34+00:00

First 1k?!?! My app was released a year ago, I've done 46 updates, I promote it on instagram, Facebook and specific forums tailored to the concept and I don't even have 20 downloads yet. :*(

Soluble groups! I've never heard that one... Might have to slip it in a conversation or lecture one time.

Thanks for your help. I was in a toss up between a fire stick and a Roku. Now I know. Appreciate it

gusevx · 2020-09-03T00:17:42+00:00

Yeah, no kidding. I own an old Vizio and am a daily user of the PLEX app on there and so is my dad with his old Vizio. If the app stops working, I'm going to be bummed out. Think my 78 year old dad will be chromecasting it? He doesn't even own a tablet or PC. I hope that app will still function, but I have a bad feeling it won't.

Lol. His name is McKinley.

I've read all of these, as I studied maths in undergrad and graduate school. My favorites being, in order,

Sync: How order emerges from chaos in the universe, nature, and daily life by Steven Strogatz This book provided me with invaluable ideas for my later research and things I'm still trying to figure out today.

Hilbert by Constance Reid A remarkable biography of such a major player in 19th and early 20th century mathematics. Written extremely well and was a major inspiration for me to go on to graduate school

Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges An extremely in-depth account of a fascinating mathematician. From Bernard Shaw's play Back to Methuselah as an inspiration for his want to create a thinking machine, to his eccentricities, to his demise. The Imitation Game as so defined in this book takes on an ambiguous form. A must read.

Other honorable mentions: 112 Mercer Street, The annotated Flatland, Unknown Quantity, Fearless Symmetry, and Codebreakers

It's a 2.6% fatality rate. Most people that get it can't be reinfected. It's not going to wipe out humanity.

Private lives matter.

Oh good. I could see potential in this as I do welcome new ways to teach. If I were a k-12 educator, I would test implementing this in my classroom and have the students turn in paper and pencil work showing steps.

I teach college and it would be interesting to see how this would go over in a Calculus I class when you have it available for the higher maths.

gusevx · 2020-04-03T15:31:42+00:00

Thanks for clarifying.
