Living it up in Jezero Crater with my awesome wife and zany kids. Ex-AWS. Open water swimmer. Opinions my own. No user serviceable parts inside.
I love it when the #NewYorkTimes gets anal about correcting scientific mistakes.

For those who have access to Bloomberg, Matt Levine's "The Crypto Story" (https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2022-the-crypto-story/) is a well thought-out thesis on the good and bad of cryptocurrency.

I've not been a fan of cryptocurrency because it's largely been a "bad" financial system (per Matt's reasonable definition, see screenshot), but he points out good uses of it, too. They don't get much attention/financing because they're boring and mundane and solve real-world problems instead of being Ponzis.

I found this juxtaposition of NYT headlines to be ... interesting.
According to my Über ride history, in July 2016 I took a ~$9 ride from one end of SeaTac to the other. I ... think I would remember this better.

I got fed up writing FFmpeg commands. Its unintuitive, and can get ugly and complicated quickly

A couple of months ago, I built this GUI to help me write complex ffmpeg filtergraphs that we have been using internally and decided to launch today.

FFmpeg.guide - One stop solution to all things FFmpeg

FFmpeg.guide is a GUI for creating FFmpeg filters and complex commands

Hmpf. Is there any way to make Firefox behave itself when I'm trying to learn a new language? It doesn't obey the system setting for the current input method, highlighting everything in English as... well, not being Dutch, despite the system input method set to EN/US.
