No we don't... right guys?!


lmaoo

You can use AI to figure out the arguments to ffmpeg. But indeed it seems like there's just a single call to FFmpeg CLI to power the whole thing which is amazing.

  ffmpegCmd := exec.Command("ffmpeg",
    "-ss", fmt.Sprintf("%.3f", position.Seconds()),
    "-i", p.path,
    "-vf", strings.Join(filters, ","),
    "-vframes", "1",
    "-f", "image2pipe",
    "-vcodec", "bmp",
    "-loglevel", "error",
    "-",
  )

You write 3x more than you read? Seems like a strange access pattern. Maybe something is going haywire with logging?

Could be a log ingestion server or surveillance camera recorder.

There's definitely a price where it doesn't scale and that price is almost certainly lower than what people would be willing to pay once for themselves.


Tabs can absolutely be entered into cells in multiple ways but the easiest is just copy paste.

And if it’s tab delimited usually people call them tsvs.


Clearly this is the issue. This article was 2000 words of trying to work around the actual problem


It's a pretty niche region. It's about 20% more expensive than other major regions so I think it's unlikely to be a core part of most large deployments. That being said, we did hear about it and continue to track it.


the EU (where I am!) is not a niche region and was also taken down


Perhaps I don't understand it but the encryption security model for MacOS/iPadOS/iOS currently doesn't allow multiple different encryption keys for each user. So any user can decrypt the whole drive and while it does enforce user permissions, the security model can't support true multiuser.

I actually don't know if Windows or ChromeOS support this either but this is certainly something Linux can with LUKS et. al.


Yep on ChromeOS each user's home dir is separately encrypted with their own password.


arguably if you're using the CLI they still are


Yeah but now they're using npm to install a million packages to do things like tell if a number is greater than 10000. The chances of the programmer wanting to understand the underlying system they are using is essentially nil.


Yea, they are just much higher level programmers… most programmers don’t know the low level syscall apis.


nah, we have long had other disciplines using the CLI who do not write their own software, e.g. sysadmins


That’s only 100% tho
