> To make matters worse for Drupal security records, the vulnerability is being actively exploited hours after the patch was released by the Drupal core team.

This is true for Drupal 7, but not for Drupal 8. Nothing in wild has surfaced regarding SA-CORE-2018-004 for D8 yet.

I started looking at trying to write an implementation of the protocol documented here: https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/. I was surprised just how little information exists on the handshake and message exchange protocols. The reference implementations of both seem quite immature.

Was there no existing protocol for sending P2P messages between clients this could have been built on top of?

Further to that point they can take as long as they like to render a single frame.

Why did you decide to use a custom video player and not an established service like YouTube or Vimeo? I think a lot of people forget how much time these services spend optimising their video players and delivery. Plus, these services are another avenue of content discovery.

Can't see any reasons against using one of these services.

The only reason to use Youtube at this point is to get eyeballs. I can see 2 problems with YT.

1. Their contentID system makes you have to prove you are not a thief.

2. Shifting revenue stream distribution are only ever good for Youtube first and publishers second. They are a big organization now. Some would say a monopoly. If they can't get 10% revenue growth from their users they'll carve it from under their publishers.

I think YT and Vimeo are really good but even I enjoy having a healthy market where all types of players exist.

It's sublimevideo [0] loading files from Cloudfront. Nothing bad about it.

Yes, the videos could be easily found in Youtube or Vimeo, but that's not a good choice if he is building a potential revenue stream.

What he could do is just upload to Youtube some free chapters (for easy discovery), and then have some premium and charge for them. Like RailCasts.

It's not custom, it looks to be a 3rd party service [1].

Sounds like an interesting concept. Few thoughts:

- You would need a large user base to get enough momentum for all of the voting and rounds.

- Wouldn't the user-voted platform have the potential to produce a candidate that appealed to an individual equally or even less than existing candidates?

- I don't know if this is the kind of thing which people would put money into on Kickstarter.

Would be interested to hear other peoples thoughts.

Seems like a lot of extra work rather than just clicking a checkbox.

Great project. For anyone interested in serving up static resources seamlessly, you can use something like the following in an Apache config:

  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^CoralWebPrx
    RewriteRule "\.(png|jpg|css|js)$" http://%{HTTP_HOST}.nyud.net%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
  </IfModule>

I wonder if this can be used in any interesting ways as a drop-in performance enhancement. Using it as an automatic domain sharding solution might be viable?

I had a play and it seems really neat, congratulations. I ran "watch -n0.2 cleaver presentation.md" to preview changes, but there is probably a better way to do it with some sort of filesystem watcher.

Looks a lot to me like a rebranded Ducky Shine (http://www.tankguys.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/...).

I do like the Ducky Shine, but this is a 100% custom design that Weyman and I came up with. It's not supposed to look radically different, but much cleaner and minimalistic. The details matter.

Please go radically different next time! Now you've worked out the details you can go all out on the next model. Might I suggest this: http://m.kbdmod.co.kr/product/detail.html?product_no=12&cate...

So is the price. Radically different!

Interesting. [0] The choice of colors is cool. I wonder how much RGB LEDs would have added to the cost? I'm guessing quite a bit, especially since you would need to control 3x as many channels.

Different cut/angles, the Ducky Shine as rounder ones.

This is really neat. I have added it to alias.sh for easy inclusion: http://alias.sh/filesystem-markers-jump
