To the author: if you really want to be permissive about what others can do with your software, a MIT, BSD, or Apache 2 license (which is more complete in that it even includes a patent grant) seem to be more widely recognized and well test

My all time question about FFmpeg is what are all those timestamp correction flags and synchronization options for: * -fflags +genpts, +igndts, +ignidx * -vsync * -copyts * -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 * And more that you find even when y

What's this? You have a server component in the PC, with access to local videos, then you want to play those videos back remotely on the iPhone?

Mental note (after reading tons of Show HN), if I ever release an Electron app, the submission title must be preemptive and include the phrase " I don't care about your whines, if you want a native app you're free to start wr

In any case I must admit that the trick, while we agree wouldn't (probably) hold water in court, it might have actually helped (we'll never know) to keep that casino out of some law enforcement watch list... especially if the of

This is the same author than mkcert, a great tool that for me is the one stop to make custom certificates for development. It already embeds all knowledge about how modern web browsers expect certs to be in order to work with them, so I don

I didn't know about that preamble, but I definitely got the vibe of "written on a write-only mindset"... just from reading their docs :) not to say trying to delve in the source code!

Turns out there is no shortage of people wanting to work. But there is a shortage on people wanting to be a slave of their job for a misery as compensation. So restaurants here keep complaining how come nobody wants to work with them. EDIT:

Thanks, feels good to not be alone. I see this kind of hardware and just shrug. But I'd really love to be the kind of person who sees the possibilities and says "wow this is super nice!" (-:

One thing that surprised me, if they are savvy enough to use the command line and write custom scripts, they would probably have no issue with using PhotoRec instead of buying a commercial recovery software. Not that this kind of money is r

This reminded me of a funny (in a sense) video that got viral a while ago here in Spain, where someone had squatted on the apartment of some romanian dude. He was talking to the camera with a hammer on his hand: "spanish law says this

Depends on each one's habits, but around here washing such a big comforter would be a "special cleaning day" type of thing, to happen just once in a year or couple of years (or even more, if it has been kept clean). So e.g. a

The way you explain it, looks like if Slack acquired Screenhero in a whim, "just in case we need it", and afterwards they realized that integrating and maintaining foreign code is a hard to do. Like, I could have told them that

How do you help your coworkers when they need a hand? It's a rethorical question, of course. I don't see much advantage of having work colleages if it turns out they are just available for half an hour every morning and then they

I agree with the sibling comment, your comment transmits a great insight that would make for a great longer form read. Deep down, this is another instance of the problem of human expectations and how important it is to handle them correctly

I think people set up those bots without even starting to think through the consecuences of doing so. There is nothing more hostile to users than a program that misbehaves, searching and finding that the problem was reported in 2017 and clo

Actually, think of it. If we have to accept Electron apps existing at all, Etcher is precisely the best possible kind of such app. One that you open, make it do its job, and close it. Meanwhile being an HTML UI it allows the creator to focu
