What if the world *doesn't* have enough music players? Well, I decided to write my own.

I'm a professional developer, but audio processing isn't something I've done before, so I'll probably be relying on the #gstreamer library to do the heavy lifting. I'm writing it in #python and using this as a way to learn the #kivy UI toolkit, which I may eventually use in a work project.

The goal is to have a stand-alone device with some special features that I've always wanted in a music player.

#Vinyl v1.2.0 is here!

Vinyl - simple #libadwaita and #gtk player written on #rust, relm4 and #gstreamer

Since v1.0.0 ( yeah I actually forgot to post v1.1.0 here ) Vinyl got a lot of changes and new features. Vinyl already has a synced lyrics support. Also, thanks to the updated #gnome SDK to 50, I implemented new ShortcutsDialog. Moreover, now you can control all the functionality of the player from the keyboard. More about changes here:

I contributed a new video sink plugin to gst-plugins-rs this weekend, that allows you to play videos in your terminal. It makes use of the `viuer` crate to achieve this:

Возможости современных моделей в разработке кода: кейс автоматического решения сложной проблемы

Кейс полностью автономного траблшутинга нетривиальной системной проблемы с неработоспособностью NVENC в Docker-контейнера на Jetson Orin NX с помощью Claude Opus 4.6, как пример выхода больших языковых моделей за пределы квалификации middle-grade инженера. Около 40 минут заняло расследование проблемы, по мотивам которого, я попросил сеть написать статью, которую и предлагаю вашему вниманию как пример того, на что я мог потратить целый день, а большинство middle-grade инженеров бы не справилось вообще. Весь траблшутинг и статья сделаны в полностью автоматическом режиме без участия человека.

Возможости современных моделей в разработке кода: кейс автоматического решения сложной проблемы

Уже пару лет я успешно сливаю карму в спорах со свидетелями "никогда нейросети не достигнут/не смогут/не заменят и т.п." В целом, мне нет нужды что-то доказывать прячущим в песок голову скептикам,...
