floo··on Algorithms Implemented in Python
Yes Zachtronics games are amazing! I would say that Shenzhen I/O might be a bit easier to learn though.
floo··on Was ditching the headphone jack a good idea?
Not saying that this is a proper solution for everyone, but Bose does support listening to the same phone with two pairs of headphones. You would just have to pair them.

I agree that this would be useful to have at the OS level though!

floo··on TypeScript 3.0
I've been using WebStorm on Windows and Linux, it is also available for macOS. Can really recommend all the JetBrains IDEs!
floo··on Show HN: I made a tool that made me faster at Git
Not a CLI, but GitKraken does that for most commands.
floo··on Chrome extension to play Netflix in 1080p
I did read it :)

What I am saying is: If they are blocking everything but chrome os intentionally, it would have been easier.

According to widevine docs [1] chrome on desktops does not support security level 1. They could have and probably did block access to 1080p content on level 3.

Which leads me to believe that netflix relaxed security to allow 1080p on level 3. As you said the next step would be to replace the user agent detection client side.

floo··on Chrome extension to play Netflix in 1080p
Yes fair point, that's the only thing happening client side.

But somebody else mentioned that widevine on chrome os and chrome are different. So I wouldn't have expected their servers to accept those 1080p requests for chrome's version.

Edit: says so on Github:

  ChromeOS apparently has a different DRM implementation than chrome, even though both use Widevine.

I am very surprised this actually works. I would guess that somebody would have figured this out earlier if it's always been this easy.

Maybe it's a new development in widevine/netflix and they were getting it ready for release?
