Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Since this is on Hacker News and reddit...

No, I don't distribute my résumé like this. A friend of mine made a joke about me being the kind of person who would do this, so I did (the link on that page was added later). My actual résumé is a good bit crazier.
I apologize for the use of _t in my types. I spend a lot of time at a level where I can do that; "reserved for system libraries? I am the system libraries".
Since people kept complaining, I've fixed the assignments of string literals to non-const char *s.
My use of type * name, however, is entirely intentional.
If you're using an older compiler, you might have trouble with the anonymous unions and the designated initializers - I think gcc 4.4 requires some extra braces to get them working together. Anything reasonably recent should work fine. Clang and gcc (newer than 4.4, at le

Don't Buy the Snake Oil of Beamr Video

You might have heard of Beamr Video, and their impressive claims about reducing video bitrates by "up to 4x, without losing quality". Sounds too good to be true? Well, as a matter of fact, it is.

The Example Videos

The four example videos that Beamr has on their site use very high bitrates - 40-50 Mbps for 1080p video. These are the kind of bitrates you find on Blu-ray discs, whereas with something like Netflix's "SuperHD" you'd only get around ~5.6 Mbps (5800 kbps) 1080p video, and with 720p Netflix video the bitrate is only around ~3.5 Mbps (3600 kbps). If you have watched online streams like these, you'll probably know that they look quite decent. Now, if you look at the Beamr Video examples, you'll notice that even for their "reduced" clips, the bitrates are still around 9 Mbps minimum, and average as high as ~30 Mbps.

At this point, you can probably see the trick that Beamr is trying to pull
