As expected. Almost the whole company is gone, less than 15 people left in engineering.

There's quite some time until the next release, I believe, so it should be. The biggest thing missing right now is NACK support, and one of the authors has said they intend to do t…

(long time FFmpeg dev here) You are being downvoted, but you are entirely correct. This is also explicitly not allowed in FFmpeg, but this was pushed after many months, with no hea…

It is widely known and accepted that you need to dynamically link to satisfy the LGPL (you can static link if you are willing to provide your object files on request). There is a t…

You have that backwards - it must be dynamically linked. Static linking without providing your source would violate the LGPL.

This is a constant issue for me (Chrome on Android) on GMail's Web UI (yes, I insist on using the Web UI...). So many emails are entirely unreadable since they go right off the rig…

Pretty much everyone (including my $dayjob) seems to do some webm parsing, rewiting, and/or remuxing in JS, or on the backend post-record. There are half a dozen ad hoc webm parser…

I can only speak for myself here, but why would step 1 be "become a user"? I ask because I don't fully grok why I would want to contribute to a project I don't use (either in my pe…

The demo seems to never load for me on Android Chrome? It sits with an off-center spinner forever.

Chrome does seem to save the JPEG version on some WebP or AVIF URLs where there is also a JPEG version available too, although it seems to be 'clever' about it rather than explicit…

It's been my experience that part of the reason browsers get stuff wrong even when it's clear what to do, is that entirely different teams work on parts of the browser that all nee…

This is one place the ISOBMFF spec really screwed up, in my opinion. They should have included semantics for the colr box, i.e. which takes precedence. Intead we get: "Colour infor…

> discontinuing RD in to the browser space Not just the browser space; they axed e.g. all their people involved in AOM and video R&D, despite being a founding member.

I would perhaps wait until rav1e 0.4, because there is a bug in the FFmpeg wrapper (of which I am the author) right now that breaks timestamps. If you wish to build with rav1e mast…

Sounds mostly like the issue is nobody has bothered to submit a proposal for it then? (There is so much in-the-wild experience and code dealing with this issue, I cannot imagine th…

An easy (and problematic) example is decimal separators (radix characters) being parsed or written differently based on locale.

What has been the rationale or hinderance for not adding locale-independent versions of various stdlib functions? Practically every second C codebase on earth has their own impleme…

Not a commit but from the same author, so you may enjoy: https://github.com/wm4/dingleberry-os/blob/master/README.rst It does go off on a few tangents, but it's an interesting read…

Based on the rest of the blog, I can't actually tell if this is tongue-in-cheek or not...

Possibly, yes. Although, having a usable QUIC library and/or adding it to libcurl would have been less controversial.
