ffmpeg seeks accurately when transcoding. [1] Cutting on non-keyframes when stream copying results in broken video until the next keyframe. Handbrake does have a CLI. [2] I haven't used it and I'm not sure what advantage it might

Ceasing to publish new copies is different than disallowing the exchange of existing copies. The owner of the IP chose to do the former, eBay chose to do the latter.

It's bizarre to me that he would describe heroin as a "social lubricant." I've had the misfortune of attempting to socialize with people who were under the influence of heavy opioids and "social lubricant" is n

> Wikipedia frequently asserts, in its own voice, that many of Trump’s statements are “false.” Well, perhaps they are. But even if they are, it is not exactly neutral for an encyclopedia article to say so, especially without attribution.

It is entirely possible to curate a Twitter feed of: experts in nearly any subject, gossip, sports, pornography, spiritual guidance, comedy, hate speech, or journalism. The same can be said of bookshelves. It is also possible to consume bot

“Drooling scroll zombies” is a wildly and unnecessarily uncharitable description of people that visit websites and apps that you (apparently) don’t enjoy. Disparaging entire mediums makes little sense. There is both enlightening and mind-nu

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's very common that I'll be searching for a keyword that only appears in the actual code a handful of times but hundreds of times in tests. GitHub's search is practically useless in

Which RLDS church are you referring to? Because the one most commonly referred to as such (but now known as Community of Christ) has been ordaining women since 1984, and I believe has started recognizing and conducting same-sex marriages (a

Wow, I've never heard of that happening. If anyone knows, I'd love to hear a technical explanation of how and why that could occur.

What was the lighting setup like for the demo videos? Did you do any processing to reduce flicker? I get a lot of flickering from CFL and incandescent bulbs in my 240 FPS videos, though I’ve had better results with some LEDs. Considering ho

I don't know who made the decision (or when), but he did have a slide prepared that said "OPEN" [1] in big letters next to a FaceTime screenshot, which I'd assume means the decision was made at least before taking the st

I appreciate it too, unfortunately Apple is not always so transparent. One example that comes to mind is their 2010 promise to make FaceTime an open standard. It was Steve Jobs that made that promise in 2010 (one year before his death), and

I often go on walks with my cat without a leash up the mountain that I live at the base of. She just follows me; occasionally she'll lag behind if something interests her, but she catches up eventually if I just keep walking.

In their previous tutorial [1] their encoding settings show that they're targeting roughly 128 kb/s VBR, which is what YouTube AACs typically are, so that doesn't explain it. AAC (and Opus for that matter, which YouTube also

I really don't understand why they haven't made ZSH the default. It has a much more powerful REPL and a more permissive license.

The readme mentions "Brunsli (lossless JPEG repacker)" as a related project, but I can't seem to find that anywhere. Has it been released?

I'm surprised that you mention lob passes to support your case. While the gameplay footage in trailers may feature them prominently since they're fun to watch, I wouldn't say that the actual game usually rewards playing that

Hmm, I wonder if this could be adapted to be a good VapourSynth filter.

I've seen people post SHA-1s on Twitter for things (like proof of an iOS jailbreak) that they aren't ready to release yet. I suppose this is a more reliable method for that.

This was interesting, though I was expecting (and hoping for) a rundown of often overlooked technical quirks of Linux. Perhaps a more accurate title would be: "Linux Powers Some #@&%ing Weird Things." To his point, the other d

Wouldn't it be problematic to takeoff from an uneven surface? It seems like it would generate more lift from the side with higher ground and end up taking off diagonally, perhaps crashing in the process. Is there a way to compensate fo

For the few formulas that create an app bundle (Homebrew deliberately avoids GUIs in general), "brew linkapps" symbolically links the bundle to /Applications; similar to the way it links things from /usr/local/

Came here to say roughly the same thing about Snapchat. I didn't expect it to rise very far above a niche sexting app, and I was surprised when I started seeing a lot of people using it for more innocent purposes. The concept still doe

I'm most excited about the collection of documents in their GitHub repo. I've casually tried to build my own collection, but most media organizations aren't very good about consistently providing the source documents in an ea
