Re:I designed my own fast game streaming video codec on Monday July 28, 2025 @05:47PM (#44716087)
What a great read and such a throwback for me. I worked on video compression techniques using wavelets 30yrs ago. Computing power and networking speeds were not what they are now and I had difficulty getting the backing to carry it forward. I’m so happy that this still has such active development and boundaries are still being pushed. Bravo.
Just to note to say thanks. Never have I played anything that gives me so much satisfaction. I found I had some weird aptitude for it.

Wow. I read your comment a few hours ago. Disturbed sleep, the tight little loops of information retrieval, processing and repeat. That feeling of exhaustion. It’s real. It’s happening to me right now. What’s new is I knew I’d be here, writing this, all those hours ago. Mixed with the cards and the Maths.

Understood. It's a bit like the Google Assistant saying, 'Stand aside, I don't need the instructions. I'm being helpful.' And then doing the wrong thing. It should just RTFM.

Chrome on Android rather (un)helpfully selects 'The WHO' and gives me a link to the rock band.

Oh, it's not in the to. My bad.

Agree. It does seem to be in the repo though. You could submit a pull request for additions I suppose.
