    Ask HN: Any tools to encode mp4 to stream of frames?

    The headline is tantalizing, but this is almost impossible to grok for a layperson like me.

    What you say rings true. However, the only thing we really know for sure, and for which there is a mountain of evidence, is that women as a group face significantly greater challen…

    In 2009-ish I wrote a Java-based templating system for Autosys' Job Information Language. If you don't know it, Autosys is a horrible, horrible, job management and scheduling syste…
