This was one of my favorite things about living in Australia as an American. Taxes were clicking a checkbox and saying, "I agree". It was incredible how simple it was.

AI demand doesn't look like it's going anywhere in the next year, and their revenue is at least in the ballpark (26b vs 90b for apple). That said, price is usually dictated by the delta in growth. I think it's unrealistic to

Highly recommend using an LLM for this actually! GPT is surprisingly good at generating ffmpeg commands. Agree it is super complex though.

If you don't want to use something more composed like this, the main trick gifski is doing is using a two-pass approach to generate a palette for the gif. You can do this pretty easily with just ffmpeg / ffprobe. Here's my pe

Are you using the GUI or are you using it headless? Just to pile on anecdotal evidence, the oldest ubuntu server I have running has been going for 11 years now with no issues. I have around 4 others also running with no issues. These are al

The best thing I ever did was get a phone number from another state. I have a Hawaii number from the couple years I lived there. Even better is because it’s such a transitory area, most of the friends I had in Hawaii had numbers from out of

I got to work with Alex on the precursor to this while I was at Atlassian. He's such a delight to work with. I was a prototyper at the time and I was always surprised about the types of edge cases he would come to me with - things I wo
