Looks like a nice little library, and very relevant to my interests. My personal "dream scenario" is to have true multisource P2P video streaming in the browser with no extensions …

The fun thing about JavaScript's type coercion and concatenation is that you can use it to create fun brain benders like this: +[[+!+[[]]]+[![]][+[[]+[]]]++] === 10 This evaluates …

Couldn't get it to find the unicode snowman[1]: http://i.imgur.com/gaIY9Gd.png (my drawing skills are awesome, no?) But that aside, this looks like a neat idea. Not something I hav…

>MeGUI profiles MeGUI is hardly necessary - x264 has a good set of presets and tunes built in to begin with. --preset veryslow --tune film/animation/grain will already get you very…

Sent a mail your way with more detailed impressions and thoughts.

The thing that annoys me about both this and Zencoder is that for people who are actually experienced with video encoding, there is absolutely no way to tweak eg. the underlying x2…

This isn't directly related to the blog post as it's about stuff available on OS X, but if you're on Windows I can very much recommend checking out Construct 2 by Scirra[1]. They h…

One problem is that even if I found that VP8 performed very well at one or two particular clips (out of the 28 HD test clips available), I couldn't say for sure why that is the cas…

>If your test was to compare an intraframe between vp8 / baseline h264 / and Theora, you would have concluded Theora was the best by a wide margin. But it wasn't. I was comparing t…

>not very representative clip I chose the clip based on what Dark_Shikari (x264 developer) had to say about it[1]: It shouldn't bias too heavily towards any one encoder like many o…

H.264 isn't exactly "closed" per se - the standard itself is freely available[1], which is why we have great free and open source encoders and decoders for it. What you mean by "cl…

That he has. My test clip choice was inspired by him[1], and I also link to another blog post of his[2] in the conclusion. That VP8 blog post is almost three years old now, though,…

Okay then, I'm done with the comparison. You can find it here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5122855

>VP8 (which is also slightly better than h.264 at this point) I'm sorry, but you have been mislead - VP8 is not better than H.264, and comparison you linked is bad for multiple rea…

The way I see it, writing command-line utilities in Node is really no different than writing command-line utilities in Python. Both offer a nice scripting environment, and while No…

Based on the other HTML-based weather app submission[1], I decided to submit something more accessible in the same category that I've been using a lot recently. Provided by the Fin…

There's lots of great free-for-commercial-usage typefaces out there. If you don't already have Fontsquirrel[1] (who also has a fantastic @font-face generator[2]) bookmarked, you sh…

Nothing against building Chrome extensions here either (hell, I started learning JavaScript with userscripts myself), but Wikipedia has indeed had a "Random article" feature for th…
