Cultural differences, especially with increased tourism in Japan lately. There's a lot we can learn from each other and people like to share their experiences. Is it really that surprising these topics come up more often?

Like outside? It's so wild to me how some can step into their living space (or even bedroom) with the same shoes they use outside.

Yep, getting a 503 service unavailable when trying to npm audit. And of course their status page is green. Crazy how even npm doesn't run their own tools to test uptime.

Launched a suite of media inspection and encoding tools a few months ago, based on FFmpeg. Slowly getting more customers. https://video-commander.com Constantly iterating through refinement and features. It's built on Rust

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 workplace related events. Never take community events for g

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 upgrade to the latest. Now there's so many option

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

I used up all my Fable credits over the weekend and looks like it’s completely reset as of today.

I now live in Tokyo and still make my Costco runs at least once a month. It's nice to have access to most of the same inventory since moving from Los Angeles.

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 experiences.

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 easily fits in my trunk when I want to take it with m

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. The problem is FFmpeg can be configured in so man

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 sandboxed environment. How is the performance? Curious if you
