Except it doesn't make sense. Unlike the master/slave... thing, blacklist/whitelist has a VERY well defined meaning. Blacklist is the closest English term to the computing concept. You're also asking us to fragment our terminology, change client-facing apis, and potentially put thousands of man hours into retrofit these changes. What's the benefit?


Simplify normalization if you want a layman's terms.


It is improbable to the point of impossibility, and somewhat worse than you've outlined.

To stop just me a device/service that prevented dling a stream would need:

-strong end-to-end encryption, otherwise you'd just grab the packets to recreate the stream, then save it.

-to be self contained, otherwise you'd just grab the stream from the audio/video output.

-to be tamper-proof, otherwise you'd just bypass the software by messing with the hardware.


AFAIK: The way DX9 works for Windows software running under Wine, is that wine has a layer that intercepts all DX9 calls and retranslates them into OpenGL. There is no equivalent for DX11.


Wine has supported DX11 for over 2 years at this point[1]. However, how is that relevant? Did the Mac and Linux versions use Wine?

No clue. I was making an educated guess. I was stuck with DX9 for a while because I wanted some stuff to run under wine. I switched to opengl nearly... 6 years ago now? Didn't realize it had been that long.


Spend a week, or two living on poverty wages. You'll be very motivated to work just about any job.


Is that not just an FPGA?


Perhaps, though it was advertised as something much more sophisticated.


Luck. You need both the opportunity, and the know-how to be successful. The next Einstein won't do anything if his family can't afford an education.


Pick your passion. Start with tutorials. RTFM. You need to work through a project.


1) use something like teeline shorthand, or just record the meeting. This will allow you to keep up with the meeting. I generally use short hand, recording makes people nervous and doesn't always get everyone anyways, unless you have a really nice mic. I try to keep a complete record of the meeting, instead of picking and choosing what to write down. After a while it becomes second nature and you can get away with barely paying attention to your note-taking.

2) after the meeting convert your shorthand into some organized, clean notes. This helps you solidify your understanding and allows you to make decisions after you have all the information. You might want to keep your shorthand around for your record, at least for a bit.

3) decide, immediately after 2, what you're going to do about those notes, and when. I use an app that shows me specific notes at specific times. If something is priority I do it immediately, or have an app remind me in an hour/day. If I'm waiting on someone, I note that, and set a reminder to check back in. If I need to keep an eye on something I set a reminder to check on it.

4) When notes expire (and they always do eventually), they get emailed to me at home. Once a day a script zips them and sticks them out of the way. I manually move them onto a flash stick once a month.

NB: This is a habit I picked up in college, and modified for work. I wrote my unnamed note app myself, it's not on any marketplace.


Thank you for identifying yourself. Can you tell us how you became fake news? What decisions led to you spreading falsehoods?
