One of my favorite pieces of software. FFmpeg has done so much for my career. Happy to see it still going strong.

I always tell friends to just go to any east exit and make their way outside. That's most likely where they're headed and it's easier to navigate outside the station than inside.

This resonates. I feel like this is also how I go about networking and making new friends, by joining or building a community and events around them. From personal hobbies and even…

I've only owned 2 GoPros, the latest one I purchased back in 2020. I use it mostly for motorsports related content and it did it's job well, but never had a need to replace or upgr…

Ignore the haters. I really enjoyed reading your article as a GR Yaris owner. This car is so much fun.

Thank you!

Ah, seems they've been resetting it again for all users.

This is really cool. Actually reading this while on the yamanote line going to work!

Seems like if they changed the criteria of downtime. If you hover over the individual days you’ll see lot of degraded messages, but still green.

The abstraction and generic design is part of the point, though. It's not really about writing concrete examples, but experiences and how to be ready to structure based on those ex…

Wow, GitHub are no longer serious people. Unbelievable.

There were many other options for git and version control in general at the time, though. GitHub made the onboarding to git much easier while using the platform as a social tool.

Very strange take. A lot of software is built on trust and the people behind it. Hence why the social aspect of Github was so important to a lot of open source software.

I love my Brompton. I've had mine for 12 years that I bought back in LA and brought it with me when I moved to Tokyo. It's such a great commuter for getting around the city and eas…

Wow, and I already prepaid for the year. Figures.

This is how I handle it with my latest project, https://video-commander.com . Prompting the user to install, or auto-installing FFmpeg separately, rather than bundling the binary. …

Looks good. Good work on shipping! I love seeing video applications utilizing Web Assembly. However, it usually falls short in when it comes to longer video in the browser's sandbo…

I live in Tokyo in a 2 story house. Felt it swaying quite a bit for a few minutes.
